Malaysia's 57th Independence Day!

Hey everyone! 

This is a rather late post. Still, I just want to take this chance to wish all my Malaysian friends, Happy 57th Independence Day! :)

For this patriotic occasion, I decided to attempt a Hibiscus flower inspired nail art. I used Malaysia's flag colour as the main theme for this nail art and even had the song Jalur Gemilang playing in my head while doing this. Hahaha! Can't be helped right? Especially, when painting them... ♪Merahmu bara semangat waja ♫Putihmu bersih budi pekerti ♪Kuning berdaulat, payung negara ♫Biru, perpaduan kami semua...  Oh yeah, the green has nothing to do with the flag colours, I added it because I thought it will help elevate the whole look. :)

The art style for this nail art is inspired by Hibiscus vector arts I saw around the internet. And used as references while attempting this. Ha, it seems easy in concept, but it was really tricky for me to execute. However, the struggles were all worth it as I think they did turned out well. :D

By the way, just for your information... the Hibiscus is Malaysia's national flower hence why I used it for this occasion. The Hibiscus is chosen as our National flower, because it's red colour represents courage and its 5 petals represents the 5 Rukun Negara. I don't know the english translation for that, but its somewhat like the 5 main principles of the nation.  :) 

And yeap, that's it for today. Oh yeah, you would have noticed, the awkward thumb. Hahaha, last month I tried to grab a door but my hand slipped, soooooooo my thumb's nail suffered a bit. Haha, thankfully, no blood scene at all, just a slight crack -- still growing it out! :)

Hope you have enjoyed today's post. And to my Malaysian friends, enjoy your Monday! :D
