Christmas nails part II. Cheap nail foils from the market near where I live. The quality is much better than those I bought from Watsons and application is much easier. Doesn't shrink much after applying a layer of topcoat either. Pretty satisfied with this one overall. (: Inspired by a set of penguin nails I saw on Instagram today and I can't wait to try that for my next round of Christmas nails! So many designs I want to try this Christmas I wish this holiday would last forever~
A very short, weirdly shaped nail on my pointer finger because I was going mad packing for my exchange trip and accidentally broke two nails + a cut on my finger. How does anyone even pack for a six month trip?
Love,
Lorraine

December Nail Art
Tis the season to be jolly~
Here are my first Christmas nails of 2013! After a very long 7 week break of bare nails (due to a hectic schedule and final exams), I am back this December to share with you some Christmas nail art. This new nail art trend is to leave some parts of the nail transparent and to only paint part of the nail. As seen here I've painted mainly my nail tips and used a transparent glitter polish for the top. It looks less messy and I love the classy look. Will try more manicures with this new technique.
Polishes used are:
- Essie's Blanc
- Sally Hansen's Disco Ball
- PA Nail Colour A72
- Milani 530 Gems
- Rainbow Colour 23
and of course my OPI Nail Envy as base coat and Seche Vite top coat.
I never knew you could make doughnuts at home until I came across this post (click on the link above)! Scroll to the end of the post and find "Everyone's Doing It: Homemade Donuts".
If you've been following my Instagram, you would definitely have realised that I have a sweet tooth and I love all these unhealthy snacks and desserts and whatnots. Not sure if I should even start trying to make donuts at home lest I get too addicted to them and grow even fatter...
Baked red velvet cake donuts...ohmygoodness~

Hello everyone! It's December, the season of giving and where everyone around the world celebrates Christmas. So to start off painting my nails again after a long break of about 7 weeks, I'll be trying to incorporate some Christmasy themes into my nail art. Look out for them soon alright?
Will be flying off to Sweden for exchange in exactly a month's time and leaving all my polishes here in sunny Singapore. Not sure if I'll be able to get my hands on any polishes while I'm in Sweden so do expect an absence of nail posts for the next 6 months. But for the 6 months while I'm on exchange, be sure to see random posts on my everyday stuff in Sweden! There will definitely be lots of photos and things I've seen and done over at the other side of the world!
Hope you guys will continue to follow this space and I'll be back with my nail posts again in mid 2014! Happy holidays! (:
