FASHION FORWARD: It's a LEOPARD for Spring

Dear Polishers,

Let me greet you with this picture! (Inspiring, isn't it?)

Yeap, this spring seems to be the year of leopard manicure! Thanks to Zac Posen Spring/Summer Fashion Show in New York Fashion Week in early 2011.


This what inspired the manicure!


I mean look at those gorgeous combination color... I could cry just looking at it! Doesn't it scream NAILheartINK?!?!?!?!

So, in an honor of mr. Posen..., I'm gonna do a leopard manicure. I'm using Etude White for the base color, and then I sponged 3 colors (Orange polish, OPI Who The Shrek are You, and China Glaze For Audrey). After that I clean up the mess with cotton bud and start stamping my nails with konad plate series number M57. Then after everything is done, I put a top coat over it (which become a disaster, turns out you should wait for some hours to make sure that the konad polish won't fade when you're top coating your nails!)

This what it looks like!


You know, I'm kinda a perfectionist when making I do something I really like! I even spent almost an hour once to do an easy manicure revolving a konad plate and bad polish once! But this one... I won't do another polish because it takes hour to do it and it takes layer to build this kind of look. But what annoy me most is the fact that those little konad polish is such a little fucker because they fade easily when I use top coat over it!

Such a disappointment.... but the awesomeness of this manicure is too great too be mourned. So... YAY ME! I give it an A for this thing. Would you try a leopard manicure for yourself?

Until then, Happy Polishing!

XOXO,

Movie Obsession Goes in The Way!

Dear Polishers,

Did I ever tell you that I'm a movie buff?

Yeap... for you who don't know. I'm a movie buff... mostly I love to watch adventure or sci-fi movie, anything out of ordinary.

So the connection of our nail polish topic is that I'm making some easy manicure with movie theme. Lately, I'm a bit obsessed with Tron Legacy. I love the movies and everything about it! The colors, the music (Daft Punk is genius), the cast (Garret Hedlund! Super Yummy!)

That's why I decided to do some tribute to TRON!

Here's what I use!

Opi Katy Perry Black Shatter, Faceshop Orange Neon, Faceshop Yellow, China Glaze For Audrey

And this is what it looks like...

I called this manicure GREETINGS PROGRAM!

I think this manicure is very dull. Nothing interesting about this manicure and I wipe it immediately after using it for two days. Shame on me for doing it by deadline. That's why my creativity weren't explored! But what do you think? Is it a good manicure? or a bad one?

Until then, Happy Polishing!

XOXO,
NAILheartINK

WICKED theme manicure

Dear Polishers,

It's an easy manicure WICKED inspired.

You only needs this 3 ingredients.

From Left to Right: China Glaze Zombie Zest, OPI Who's the shrek are you (The mini's broken so I mix it with MISSHA's green wasabi which is almost similar to it) Tony Moly Black

And this is what you got!

I called this manicure DEFYING GRAVITY

So far... this is the neatest manicure I've ever done. I love it.... should wear it on last Halloween!

Until then, Happy Polishing!

XOXO,

Red, Green, Glitter, and Christmas!

Dear Polishers,

Just a quick swatch of the red colors I had while figuring out what's the best red for Christmas manicure!





So... which one do you think work better with Party Hearty?

Until then, Happy Polishing!

XOXO,

ps: I just realize how much I love red polish! I'll tell you one day about my love with this red polish!

China Glaze Bermuda Breakaway Madness

Dear Polishers,

I haven't tell you but there's time when I and Dika are in madness on finding the perfect navy/royal blue or whatever you call them. Sometimes it's just to dark, or to light, to yellow or to grey, it's just... you never find the perfect blue you want. Until one day I read about China Glaze Bermuda Breakaway... a getaway for the unending madness.

So... I order one from the e-tailer after reading that she gave special price for ordering China Glaze polish. Then after made the deal, I feel satisfy and sit back, relax, dreaming when the polished arrive and landed on my nails........ until a few minutes later I realize I don't have the budget for it. I've just bought lots of polish and since I'm unemployed, I can't afford on buying nail polish that I don't need! I start to freak out and wish that I can still cancel it. Who am I kidding... of course I can't cancel it. So I end up leaving in a disappointment of buying something I don't need.

I tried to seek redemption by looking at the net... searching for a comfort about this color and lots of the blogger told that this is a great blue. I'm consoled for a while.

Till the day it comes....


I love the blue. It's great! It changes according to light.

So you'll get the perfect blue under the perfect light, ...

Or, you'll get darker blue on ordinary day....


I love it, I really do, it's just... I'll remember the blue as the blue that I don't need. Even many manicure I tried couldn't help the feeling.... T.T



Boy. I wish I would never do that again. Buy something because of "so-called-promo" temptation. I've learned my lesson in a hard way. Hopefully, I'll learn to love the blue like I used to.

Until then, Happy Polishing!

XOXO,
NAILheartINK
