Helllooooo Monday! Today I bring you a belated Deepavali Nail Art. It is inspired by Peacock feathers. Hahaha, though actually I had wanted to attempt a Saree inspired one. Unfortunately, I couldn't find one that I was happy with and since I haven't try peacock feather nails yet, why not? :)
Haha!! I thought I'd cry when I try peacock feather design, but turns out it actually wasn't as hard as I thought it was. My first try (on the index) was a huge success. Feeling confident, I did the rest of my darker base nails.. lols -- those didn't go so well.. I still like the first attempt more. I don't like it when that happens, haha!! Come on, aren't we suppose to progress with more tries? What is thisssss??? Hahaha!!
Hoho~ And you may have noticed, I nubbed my nails. Accidentally nubbed them, actually. I was going to resume some swatching, but realised the nails have grown quite long and somehow I've grown to prefer swatching on not too long, and not too short kind of length. So, picking up my glass file (got mine from Daiso!) and begin the filing process.. now, here's a piece of advice: don't get lost in thoughts while filing nails. It is important to stay focus! -- I was thinking of trying stilettos nails, had quite a success in shaping my thumb and index, then I thought about round nails, then about straight chevron pointed nails, then... crap! I filed too much of middle finger's nail. So I nubbed them all! By the way, I accidentally have rounded ones for the darker colour and rather squoval nails for the accents XD How fitting! Hahahahaha!!
Anyway, I hope you have enjoyed this relatively short post. Not sure when I'd put up a new post. I'm trying to catalog all my nail polish in my stash and get those long overdue swatches done (may not swatch all but I'd try).
