New Obsession = Nails!

Date: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 Categories: nails

Ever since I was little I’ve had this bad habit of biting my nails whenever I’m bored or nervous. Because of this I never really cared for my nails, but then a couple months ago I decided to stop and start growing my nails so they don’t look so ugly all the time! but even so, I didn’t really take care of them aside of the usual cleaning / trimming whenever needed.

While I was in Malaysia i found these on sale for 3.90RM each… about $1.25! I thought it was a steal b/c i remember seeing The Face Shop stuff in Jakarta and these usually go for about Rp 30,000 = $3.

Left to Right: Nail Color BK902, Nail Color OR204, Nail Top Coat, Nail Color WH002

BK902 is a really cute color.. a white-silvery transparent with color loose tiny silver glitters. it’s actually pretty sheer until you put a couple coats. the OR204 one is the same, but it actually goes on salmon pink if you put no base on your nails and the glitters are iridescent. the top coat is pretty nice.. so far my nail polish hasn’t chipped yet after two days. the WH002 is just a regular matte white which I use to mimic french manicure effect.

BK902 after a about 2-3 coats. i want more glitter!

later i bought one of those stickers to help do the tip. the result is… well, messy (it was hard!) but i like this color combination! i will practice until i get better at this whole “nail tip color” thing.

Thus the obsession with nail stuff begins…

french manicure

anyway, i finally got a haircut (first in like 2 yrs) and decided to get a french manicure while i’m at it. it was my first time getting a manicure ever. i must say i like this clean look, and how the manicure process was done. the girl who did my nails was a pro or something.. she didn’t use sticker / tape to do the white tip!

btw the shiny oily stuff around my nails is baby oil.

  • A blog about getting your hair cut and no pic! *gasp

    No fair! The picture of your hair is hiding behind all of these pictures of your nails. Cute colors/ nice combos. The coating takes practice; as long as you are obsessing about it, then you will be able to put the nail polish on like a pro.
