Hey everyone! I have wanted to showcase to you this nail art on Monday to be honest. However, after reading Anhy's post, I can't help but to be affected as well since I considered the both of us (and many of you, too) my close friends. 'Bling-Bling nails' just didn't seem right to be up here at that time. So I postponed till today to post this up.
The nail art is nothing too fancy, just a simple and direct depiction of 'Bling-Bling!' emphasizing the sparkly sparkles the polish brings! :)

Honestly, I never expected it to turn out this good. I just took the chance to try out the 'graphic sparkle' effect that I've been seeing many bloggers used in galaxy nail arts. I thought it was really cool and actually do compliment the nail polish :D (if you had not guessed, this nail art is inspired by The Face Shop GL114!) :)
Let me walk you through briefly the thoughts process in my head when executing this nail art:
whoa, bling bling polish! > oh, let's have bling bling nails > uwahhh!! they look like pure gold on my fingers! > golds are expensive! > this reminds me of Christmas too!
Yeap, that's me trying to summarize my messy head. At least its simple and easy to understand when put that way. Hahaha! I showed this nail art to my Mum, her immediate reaction was "Wow, that's Christmas!" - I think I might just do a similar one for her on Christmas, except replacing money sign to a Christmas tree design (with Winter Holly of course!). But its not for certain, I might change my mind to something else depending on what she plans to wear on that day :)
Oh, the thumb really looks like Christmas, yes? I just had to show this, since I really love the composition of the three sparkles :) Besides, good things come in threes! Hahaha!!
So this is all for today. Haha, this is one awkwardly short post - can't be help, since there really isn't much to say about this nail art. But I hope you have enjoyed it nonetheless :) Have a great day all!
Ooh! So pretty!! <3
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome, I totally get your bling theme. It's great by the way!! Love the additional sparkle, at this time everything is Christmas (I'm so excited)!! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so sparkly and blingy and totally fun! I love how your drew in the large white "sparkles" :D
ReplyDelete~ Yun
Yeah! Your thumb is wonderful, you're right! I like the whole idea! Great look!
ReplyDeleteLovely *w* I thought it was gonna be Christmassy from the thumbnail too. The thumb is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteThank you! :D I'm glad you love it :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Usually here will start when November comes (but I'm always excited for Christmas!). But there's still Deepavali next! And thank you! Great to know you enjoyed the fun theme xD
ReplyDeleteHahaha, Thank you! :D I'm glad you enjoyed the fun fused inside this mani too ^.^ I think the next time I try this large sparkles again, I'd do it with white acrylic instead. White nail polish is just hard to work with (so stringyy >.<)
ReplyDeleteHahaha!! Thank you Ana! I'm glad you love it just as much as me! Perhaps the accent finger would look more attractive with a tree or rhinestone blings xD Now its just so randomly added and looking out of place, eh? Hahahaha!! XD
ReplyDeleteThank you Bethany! There's just this thing about golds and sparkles that simply says Christmas, eh? Aww I can't wait for Christmas already! Ah, high-5!! That's my favourite too! xD
ReplyDeleteI love this!! It's up my street like *eyes widen, pupils dilate* lol. May I know which polish you used for the gold base? It looks so opaque and simply seems like the perfect gold that I NEED <3 <3
ReplyDeleteOh it's the recently reviewed, The Face Shop, Face It GL114. It is opaque! Just two coats and we're good to go! Hehe, I'm glad to know you love this! Thank you! ♥
ReplyDeleteYou can just try it again 2 month later ;))
ReplyDeleteOh yes, how could I have not realized heehee :x I actually dropped by The Face Shop yesterday specially to swatch this myself and it really is as stunning as depicted by you. Honestly, you always buy the best colors!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! I would think because it became prettier upclose XD Haha, thank you!! Sometimes I do silly decisions too and ended up with duplicate of colours =.=! I'm just so glad you like it as well ♥
ReplyDeleteHaha!! Just another month now! But yes, I will be attempting it again, with white acrylics too - for a better management. hehe. white polishes behaves badly =/
ReplyDeleteAhahahaha I love the thought process xD You're officially a million dollar baby now, your nails are just too..blingy?! LOL I love them a lot! The sparkles look perfect and the $ sign too. Very neat! The thumb nail really does remind me of xmas themed nails. Like stars in the sky which are about to tell a story. Oh gosh, the more I look at it the more I love it *_*
ReplyDeleteThank you!! XD I'm glad you're loving them, lols! It happens too much sometimes it gets hard trying to recall what I wanted to talk about in the first place! Hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteOh the $ sign, I did went back with the gold to 'clean off' some smudges - so that helps :D Haha!! Yeah, I thought they looked like stars twinkling in a night sky too -- so glad you love them ♥ Thank you, again ^.^
