Hello! :) It finally rained yesterday and haze has cleared up quite a lot. Praise God for that! Today I'd be showing you a nail art I did last week and wore over the weekend. It is inspired by this photo. I love the setting of the photo as well as the colours and the atmosphere it gives - a little bit industrial and a little bit mysterious.

Mod Squares
Delightful Afternoon to all of you here! Today's inspiration comes from this lovely picture which features very simple design elements yet so stylish. I wish I could have incorporated the thinner lines in the design but my black polish, brushes and hand isn't co-operating. So I have here a simpler design featuring only two colours.

Little Poppies
Good afternoon to you! It's been a week since my last update (sorry!) but I have yet another inspiration found on etsy! This is the picture I was inspired by. I thought the poppies looks really lovely!
I have been wanting to do a poppy inspired nail art but have always been procrastinating. With the help of the inspiration, I finally got it done. Haha!
This is a very simple nail art. I started off with two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls as base. Using a striping brush, I drew the stems of the flowers. Then I proceed with dotting flowers and leaves with dotting tool. For the index, thumb and pinky, I used the brush from the black polish to do an irregular french tip - mimicking the look of the scarf.
In general, I think poppy flowers are very beautiful. I love the name actually. Hahahaha! Very catchy indeed! Anyway, that is it for today. I hope you like them. And hopefully I'd be able to get at least another post up this week. Hahaha!
Nail polishes used:
- OPI - My Boyfriend Scales Walls
- Naga 2 Way Art Pen (Black striper)
- Revlon - Revlon Red
- Revlon - Pretty In Papaya
- Etude House - GR605
- Etude House - Ultra Green
- Holika Holika - Black
Tools used:
- Dotting tool

One Bumble Bee
It's Saturday! Good Morning!
I hope your weekend is starting great! Today's NOTD is inspired by this picture I saw on pinterest. I felt like doing something yellow inspired and stumbled on that picture on pinterest. I'm not too sure why, but there's something about the black dotted ribbon that captures my attention so. Hahaha!

More Ice-Creams!
Hello! As much as I always seem to be complaining about Malaysia's hot hot hot weather, I'm super grateful for it too. Because, hey! It could have been worst :) And due to our hot and humid weather, one can never run out of reasons to dive for a good ice-cream treat! Recently I discovered Liquid Nitrogen Gas ice-creams while on a window shopping treat, and guess what? They are the best ice-creams I've ever tasted so far! The smooth texture is irresistible! So I've done two notd, (they are the same though..) inspired by ice-creams (not really).

Circus Themed Hot Air Balloons
Hello to all of you! I'm in a very or rather joyous mood today since I do have nail art to share with you! I was browsing through etsy for inspirational food (as usual). Yeap, you read it right. Inspirational food. I am one of those who just can't go by a day without feeding my eyes with pretty pictures of creativity outbursts by all the creative minds out there. Hoho~! Back on track, I was saying look at this picture here. It is a Hot Air Balloon Kit Circus themed made by Claire Waring who resides in Sydney Australia! I loved the one with the blue dome so much I just have to have something similar on my nails!

Spring Geometric Prints
Heyyyy! I'm really excited to share this nail art with you! It is inspired by a shirt that I have. The shirt has this wonderful cool tone pastel prints paired together with some saturated colours. I have been wanting to do a nail art inspired by it for sometime but never really gotten to do it, until yesterday! :)

Little Watermelon Seeds
Hello friends! While taking a little time off swatching, I have a quick and simple manicure to share with you today. It is a look that was inspired by a watermelon makeup I saw on pinterest. Here's the thing, things are so viral these days, especially for people who have gain recognition and their work have spread like wild fire around the net. As a result? The original poster or the one to credit got lost somewhere. And believe me tracking down the real artist sure is time consuming - but worth it. Without further ado, my nails today were inspired by a watermelon makeup done by the very talented Cristina Otero. She has many more beautiful makeups and they are all very inspirational!

They are still welcoming participants so feel free to stop by their page and join in the fun!

Vivid Roses
Good Morning! It is Monday once again and hopefully none of you are feeling the Monday's Blues! Recently, (about a month ago) Chelsea from Get Nailed posted her beautifully done Dr. Martens Floral Inspired roses here which completely blew me away at how stunning it is. And few days ago she has posted a tutorial on how she did the roses here - I was blown away the second time. (lol). That did it. I needed to try/attempt another rose manicure!
I had my first attempt at rose nail art here which I wasn't proud of. Everything was all over the place. I hadn't grasp the structure of rose well enough, plus, it was done using acrylics. So today, I'm happy to present to you, my successful rose nail art attempt using nail polishes which I'm satisfied with.

Black Friday - Broken
Hey there. Today is a rather heavy theme. For week 4 of Section 1 Back to basic contest, Joan from Tip Top South Africa has requested participants to wear black nails on all fingers except an accent for the ring finger. This is to create an awareness and to stand up against violence and rape done to women. There are so many victims already. We don't need more. Enough is enough.
