The More The Marryier (Part 2): Lacey Lace

Hello!
This week is sucha hard time for my college life since there're so many deadlines.
But finally i can make my time to do a post :D

This is my second mani that using O.P.I. polish from The More The Marryier package. But for this attemp, i'm using only 1 colour, Sweet Heart, the sweetest pastel pink from O.P.I. and really melt my heart :"">
For the sweety touches i'm using Dotting Pen from FaceShop, i really love it lately. Really! It helps me alot to paint anything on my nails even for every single mini detail.
And i named my mani this time as Lacey Lace because i make a very simple lace on my nails, really simple one. And later after that i feel like there's somethin 'missed' there. So i put some hearts there. Really full of love this time, right? hehehe

Here they are! My lacey mani..

You can also see the colour before i add some laces. This OPI Sweetheart is just too pretty, isn't it? I dont even think i need to add anything on it before. Lovely!

And this is my mani after i add some hearts on it..
p.s: they are really sweet and heart-melting, make sure your boyfriend wont be jealous if you love them :p

So, what do you think? Which one is best for this Sweet Heart polish? the first before i add some hearts or after i add em? Or maybe the one before i paint anything on it? :p
i hope you can also make one, because i dont have time (and also still can do any tutorial video) i hope you can make your very own lace mani ;)

Bonded with The Skyfall

I never think that i'll have any interest into gleaming and glittering nail polish.
But last couple weeks, O.P.I. just launched its new minis series, mesmerizing minis package inspired by James Bond new film titled 'Skyfall'.
This mini bond-ettes consist of 4 fabulous nail polishes, they are:
GoldenEye
The Spy Who Loved Me
The World Is Not Enough
Live And Let Die

I dont know why, but after read some reviews about this minis series on the internet, i really curious to have it. Unlike other ordinary nail polish, they look preferred and 'posh'.
So, i decided to get one. And because O.P.I. products are difficult to be found in my town, i ordered em from my friends, Lalaluna, at Surabaya. And after 2 days, these babies came to my house and i tried em up on my nails just righ taway after they arrived, hahahaha :D

I tried The Spy Who Loved Me as the base colour on my nails, combined with Live And Let Die..

And for my toes, i used GoldenEye on my left toes and The World Is Not Enough on my right ones.
Somehow, i really love how these polishes faintly twinkling if i bring it closer to the light.
So, O.P.I. Minis Bond-ettes Skyfall, Loved: confirmed!

Welcoming The Newlyweds

"Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate, but through being the right mate." - Barnett R. Brickner

Somehow, it feels like everyone's growing up so fast, get a job, and married to someone. And i'm still here hahaha
But in the other hand, i feel so happy and touched everytime i attend at someone's wedding and hear how they sincerely promised to be faithful to each other.
And in last couple months, i attended 2 wedding ceremonies which are a little bit different. The first one, it was my friend's sister's wedding. It was a moslem-javanese wedding. So there's no wedding ceremony at the church. And the second one, it was just last week (but it really suck that i cant post my nails since my internet connection at my house was in trouble for a week) and it was also javanese wedding but it was devided into two session of party. First is the international style wedding which was held at the church with balloons and pigeons. And at the night they held a javanese traditional party with flowers, batik, and other traditional equipments.

And as you can all guess, of course i did my nails as match as possible with the dress that i wore.
At the first wedding, i wore kinda red and gold javanese traditional dress called 'kebaya'.. so i made my nails with red base colour with some gold touches. And i also put a flower as the symbol of javanese traditional wedding that use soooo many flowers. I really love it <3

These were my nails, for my friend's sister's wedding..

And this was the second wedding that i attended. My cousin's wedding last week. It was so touchy that in the middle of the party my aunt sang a song for him and at the end of the song she said 'everything's changed, like how it always does, but you will always be my little boy' while there was a photo slides at that showed my cousins's photos since when he was a baby until when he was an elementary student. My aunt said, she was wished she could keep her son at that age forever. It was a very touching moment and seems like everyone's trying to keep their tears :""")

For this party, i put metalic green and gold touches to make it matches well with my batik dress and kebaya. Because both of it have green as the dominant colour. And the gold and flowers, i used it as the symbol, just like my previous mani..

And anyway these were my nails for my cousin's wedding!
and of course, some pictures of me at the party ;)

Guest Post

Hello!
Today i'm not going to post my nailarts, like what i usually did before, this is a guest post by my nailart bloggers friend from Romania named Andrea.
We just knew each other but i instanly know that she has sucha great passion in nailart, just like mine :D 
She's a very pleasant and nice woman. You have to look at her blog, she has a very well arranged photos and sentences, and of course her very beautiful nail art and details. This is the link to see her pretty nailarts on her blog --> Colour Your Life

And for this post, i'll let you to know her better by read the results of a little interviews bellow that we do each other a couple days ago.. ;)
(Anyway, you can find mine on her blog --> HERE)

When and why did you made a blog?

I made my blog about a year ago with the concept to share my passion with other fellow bloggers and people who love nail art and polishes

How did you get into nail art?

I always liked to paint my nails; I loved to try out different techniques and followed specific sites and blogs to learn more about it. Someday I thought to study to become a professional manicurist, but I changed my mind and now I am an advertising designer. All in all I don’t remember how old I was when I started to be passionate about it, maybe about 4 or 5 years ago and this way nail art became my biggest hobby.
What are your favorite brands to use?
This is an easy question, because I don’t have a favorite brand. I try and buy any kind of polish what catches my eye. When the quality of the product, whatever brand may be, is good I buy it again, if not, I leave it. I am not a brand collector, I just love polishes :)
How big is your polish collection and how much do you spend for this passion? 
Well my collection gets bigger as the days go by. I never counted how many polishes I have, maybe 70-80 until now, I just know that I don’t have enough space for them. When a polish get’s thicker I throw it away, so a new one can take her place.
How much do I spend for this passion?

Well, I am not buying daily or weekly a polish, brush or other nail art product, I try to restrain myself as much as possible, but I have to say sometimes I cannot do it, my passion is too big.

Where did you get the ideas for your nail art?

First of all from other nail art bloggers, than clothing patterns, pictures on the internet, colors, shapes anything can be inspiring for a new nail design.

Do you ever go to nail salons for a manicure?

Last year I received from a friend a voucher for a manicure and pedicure, that was the last time I went in a nail salon. I like to do my nails myself.

What's your favorite manicure that you ever made?

I love the results I obtained by a few of my manicures, like the splatter mani, the Marilyn Monroe, caviar and the colorful dotted manicures.

Soooo, what do you think?

I think she's so talented and her nailarts are fabulous with so many pretty details.

Have a great day and nice to know you, Andrea! :D

Braided Nails

I've been being so curious about making a braid.
Since when i was a little girl i always ask my grandma (because my mom can't did any kind of braid and tail) to do my hair. And she like to made my hair braided.
Jusk like the other girls, i loved it!
And recently, on nails blog, tumblr, pinterest, and some instagram's pages, i often see a braid inspired nail.
From what i've learned, it usually needs at least 3 colours of nail polishes.
And it usually just done on thumb and ring-finger.
Because if you apply the braid on all of your nails, they're gonna be seen so 'crowded' and some flaws may make it even worse.
So, because this is my first trial of it, i make the braid only on my thumbs and ring-fingers..

And as usual, i made the step by step.. and also as usual, i've already done with my nails so i made it on a paper.. i hope it's clear enough to see :)

Can you make one to on your nails?
It needs patient and a-really-really-careful left hand to make it.
That's why i also make it only on my four fingers, and for the other six, i choose (again and again) my favorite colours, Jaded from Revlon. This mint colour just toooo good on my nails, at least that's what i think hahaha
Anyway,
you can use glitters and lining to hide the flaws if you can't make it as tidy as what you've seen..
maybe next time i will make the example for the lining and also glitters, just wait ;)
