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.
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! :)

Love your peonies and how colorful your nails are!
ReplyDeleteWow these nails are so fun!! Love all the colours and of course the flowers, they're lovely. Happy Chinese New Year!! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors, great design!
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWell I love your peonies!! And your background looks gorgeous! Such great colors!
ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job and do not worry, quality is what counts and I always love the quality of your nail designs and blog in general. It doesn't matter when or how much you blog, makes me even more excited to see a new art of yours ^.~
ReplyDeleteAt first I was a bit confused because I'd expect, you know..the typical colors for CNY (red/ gold/ probably white) but giving it a second thought I think it fits perfectly! In vietnamese the new year is sometimes called Xuan(=spring) as well or people say "xuan den" which means "spring is coming". And what could be a better design for spring then beautiful flowers. The peonies look great, so please forgive me when I say that I'm even more fascinated by your background >_< The white, yellow and blue makes me looking forward to spring and the way you did it, is somehow really eye-catching to me <3 LOL
Oh and of course HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I'm looking forward to your wonderful nail arts in 2014 as well ^-^
P.S haha can't believe you've started with AOT xD It is indeed a bit dark but thrilling as well :D
Hey Colleen! Thank you so much! Glad to know you love them :D
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so glad you love them ^^ Thank you so much! :) Happy Chinese New Year to you too ^~^
ReplyDeleteHey Lauren! Thank you! Glad you love it ^^
ReplyDeleteHey Andrea! Thank you so much! Happy to know you're loving them :)
ReplyDeleteHehe, thank you! ^^
ReplyDeleteHahaha! My brother kept saying they look like roses.. But I'm glad you love them and the colours on the background (I love those too :D) Thank you so much! ^^
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you so much, Anhy! :') Meant a lot to me. Oh the colours! I feared the paragraphs were getting very wordy so I skipped out on explanation on colours. Well, Chinese culture is vibrant, especially if you see the architectures and the many colours they used to paint them. But I chose a few bright ones that are more commonly use (I think). Peonies, because its prominently used as decorative motifs for Chinese traditional apparels. By the wayyyy CNY is also Spring too!! :D It's 'Chun Tian' -- so amazing our culture shares a lot of similarities :D No worries! You won't get any arguments from me, I love the background a lot too! hahaha I think its the 'trump' card of this nail art :P
ReplyDeleteHehehe, what can I say? I blame human's curiosities XD Yeah, its not too dark though, bearable level. I like the conversations and how the artist links one event to another. Although in tags it was categorised as "fantasy", I felt it's somewhat realistic too. Considering the possibilities of genetic mutation. AWW BUT I wouldn't want to live to see that day :l
