Happy Chinese New Year!

Hey guys! I'm kind of squeezing this post here just before I have a dear friend to guest post later on. Hehe. Phew! We're actually in the 4th day of CNY and I haven't been able to get anything posted until now! I was hoping to get this up on the first day, but with all the visitations and reunions my energy was completely drained. I'm not complaining though, I had a fun time catching up and spending time with families and loved ones! ^.^ Hope you don't mind :) I guess it can't be helped that I didn't manage to post any CNY inspired nail art before the festival set in. But it goes on for 15 days.. so I still have time to squeeze in maybe one more nail art before the celebration is over. 

I wasn't inspired to do nail art for CNY last year, so I was somehow determined to at least have something for this year's CNY. And having major ideas blocks since the beginning of the year wasn't helping at all. But I picked a few elements that I want to incorporate on my nails and keep working from there. 

Among the elements that I wanted were: peonies, bright colours and white-ish background. To tell you the truth, the peonies idea actually scares me a little. I would have dislike to go too much into details because that would take so much of my time and during the eve of Chinese New Year, I barely have the time to get them done. So I needed something that could be quick yet satisfying. Inspired by Anhy's Roses, I decided to attempt a similar style with the peonies. I'm not too sure how I to describe the kind of approach I was going for, kinda like arty and floaty? Hence, the bright colours as background :) 

So there you go. My colourful and bright CNY inspired nails. Admittedly not the best, but hopefully its at least something bright for the occasion. :) I was even at lost of what to call this look. Decided to keep it simple as I was literally chanting peonies, peonies, peonies while doing this nail art. Lol!

To my readers who are celebrating Chinese New Year, wish you all a wonderful and prosperous Chinese New Year and may you flourish abundantly in the days ahead! :)
