Newspaper Nails

This is my first attempt doing this awesome idea. I maybe late trying this, but still why not right?


I painted my uber-short nails Winter Frost from Revlon. It's a mini-bottle in medium-gray color. I wanted something lighter but do not have any that does not consists of glitters and sparkles, plus I was lazy to mix my own so I used this one.


I can say this is a half-fail. I tried different methods here: 1) dipped a piece of newspaper in alcohol then pat onto my nails, 2) dipped my nails in alcohol then pat on a piece of newspaper, 3) dipped a piece, dipped my nail then pat the paper on. I think the second method worked best. That explains why this art is so uneven, because I kept on testing.


I did not bother redoing them. I figure I will take them off in few days anyways. Maybe soon I will try again and perfect them, and maybe in a summery colored base.


XOXO,

FOTN: Neon Pub Crawl


Me and hubby attended a Pub Crawl style birthday party last friday in Seal Beach. That friday I have posted my neon nails before I did this look. It's just a simple colorful look, ( yes ma'am I define this simple, LOL ) nothing shockingly uv or neon.

I used Inglot, Mac and Sugarpill. I apologize for a grainy picture, we were stepping out already when I took these pictures. We had so much fun last night, cannot wait for another one. :)

NOTWeekend: Sinful Colors Neon Melon

Hi Bellas! I will be attending a Pub Crawl Birthday party with a Neon theme tonight. I have a love-hate relationship with neons. Some days I find it so cool, some days it makes me look off. I painted on this neon polish I picked up at Walgreens. I think this should just be called Nails of the Weekend.

 


This one is called Neon Melon from Sinful Colors. I dunno why it's called melon, for me it's more of a lemon and lime. There are other colors available too. It's pretty cheap, only $1.99 a bottle. It took me 5 thin coats to achieve this, it's kinda burning my patience but it's okay since it fast-drying.
I shared this photo below on Instagram and got lotsa love. I usually DO NOT wake uo this early but today I was already at work at 7am. This neon did wake me up like sunshine straight to my face!

Tata ladies! Just finished my friends hair and makeup for her neon pub crawl tonight, so I better take a quick nap then off to do my makeup too! Will post pictures, of course!
