I can’t seem to stop my obsession

February 3, 2008

with nails.

This is how it looked one week ago.

Angelic Love

You can never go wrong with pink. And pink, and pink also. Trust me. I dunno why! Pink just looks so good on nails. And girls. Ivory is a very good color for base. Then you can play all you want with the pink rhinestones of all sizes and shade.

And i decided to give it a revamp for CNY and it looks really vamp now!

Went to a nail parlor today to replenish my rhinestones and they sell their medium-size stones at a ridiculous RM0.50 each and the big ones RM1 each. Damn siao betul. So i went to a phone accessory store instead and bought those gemstone bling blings supposed to stick on your phone for my nail art! (And get in any shopping malls! Stop asking already, just go look see look see in accessory shops). It’s like RM5.90 for an amount you can decorate 50 people’s nails! Happy Happy!

Really lo, i normally put more than 20 rhinestones (of different sizes) on one fingernail. Imagine how much that will cost! I suggest you do it yourself, it’s really simple, not at all as intimidating as it looks. =)

Devilish Luxury

null
Color used: OPI: My Private Jet

OPI is such a good, good good nail polish! If you want perfect polish like a Porsche car paint, don’t buy the RM10 for 3 kind of polish. I’m sooo in love with OPI nail color but it’s super expensive. I’d like to trade a free Cheddie-peck-on-the-cheek on top of my already much sought after nail art secrets for a bottle or two OPIs. T_T.

If you want to play with two colors, use a super shimmer gloss cuz it’s easier to apply on top and a mistake will look less obvious. (But as you can see my pink shimmer is too kao and sticky!)

And the fun part!!!

Sticking rhinestones :D :D

Oooomg I cannot begin to tell you how greedy i am. I have a million of designs in my head and i want to try all of them! BUT I ONLY HAVE TEN FINGERS!!!

I wish i was an octupus. Then again an octopus doesn’t have finger nails. -_-

null

So i did different designs for each nail.

My nails can grow really, reeeeeeeeally long but they are very narrow, so i can only decorate it vertically or diagonally.

null
Pinkie’s

null
I just sooo love the necklace idea!

null
Thumbnail (no pun intended! :D )

Pearl white love-shape gem with lotsa tiny, erm, thingies. Have to be super patient sticking these.

null

With more rhinestones of pink and silver surrounding.

AND DONE!

null

Remember to apply a layer of top coat to secure the stones. =)

Omgwtfcnydongdongchiang i’m so having fabulous nails for the holidays!

null
See it even matches my phone (and current wallpaper)! :D

And remember to only do one hand at a time, in case it ruins your newly painted nails.

See. Now i’m having yin & yang finger nails!

null

It’s not easy to do this post ok i had to snap a picture at every step with ONE HAND then continue doing my nail job with the SAME HAND. :D

Okay okay okay! Now you expensive nail parlors can all go zhap lap. Thank you.

    Hi Cheesie, just wondering, what’s that tool you use to apply the rhinestone on your fingernail call? Is it a specific tool for nail or you just chuck whatever handy to apply it? Hmm…

  24. JeromeFo UNITED KINGDOM says:

    Nice nails with the Sony Digital Cam
    Good shots!

  25. tom MALAYSIA says:

    i wan do my nails also.. -_-

  26. cereal MALAYSIA says:

    next time can try pink nail base with black jewels. Saw is in ViVi Mag, super chio wei!

  27. eiko-chan MALAYSIA says:

    Really nice nails! Btw, have you tried Ianti’s nail polish? Personally, i find the quality good and the price is cheap (RM7.90).

    Regarding the rhinestones, there’s this shop in OU ages ago, when New Wing first opened, they sell the rhinestones for like… RM1.50-3 (i think? very cheap lar) for quite a lot in a nice little bottle. Very convenient! Too bad the shops’ closed now.

  28. Simon Seow UNITED STATES says:

    I didn’t notice the pink side that day. I think the devil caught my eyes. I ate 3 Kenko plum this afternoon. Now go to the toilet quite often.

  29. Q MALAYSIA says:

    can guys do nail art or not, will they look gay?

  30. Rush CHINA says:

    I’m in China on business at the moment. Very nice nails you’ve been creating there, definitely should open your own shop!

  31. Porkie UNITED KINGDOM says:

    Q – I think they can but depends how far they wanna go. I recall in my Japanese mens street fashion mag last time during world cup time, there were some guys with the Japanese flag, JFA Crest and the Japanese Football masoct painted on their nails

  32. sheon MALAYSIA says:

    nice handywork there. really nice.

    however, a question……dont you find having little stumps on your nails troublesome?..i dunno if this is a relevant comparison or not….but….even having a chipped fingernails is soooo very uncomfortable for me!

  33. penny MALAYSIA says:

    Er. i think your nails looks so much prettier without all that bling! they remind me of the marine growth u see on the side of a boat/ship…ew

  34. carolyn MALAYSIA says:

  35. lesley BRUNEI DARUSSALAM says:
