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

Oh, Oh My Nails Saranghae!

"Oh oh oh oh ppareul saranghae
Ah ah ah ah manhi manhihae..."

for every SONE, these must be very familiar lyrics.
Oh! is one of Girls' Generation's best song ever.
They also make the japanese version, the song, the lyrics, and the video are quiet similar with the korean one but the girl's look quiet different. They look more mature than in previous versions of the video. 
Although the concept is similar, in this latest video, they look much prettier in a much simpler makeup and hair-do.
 

If you watch the japanese version video, there isn't so much canges. The concept of both videos are about a group of cheerleaders who dance and sing cheerfully in a room and kinda indoor sport field. 
They use two kinds of costumes, they're baseball jackets combined with mini pants and mini dress cheerleader costume.
And about the differences, you can see the colors are changed alot. The costumes that they wear and the color of the interior are so different from the first video. Baseball jacket that was dominated with pink, as well as an interior that was dominated with pink and blue, now they're dominated with dark navy blue for the jacket and red for the interior.

And as usual, i try it up onto my nails. I just can resist their charm and the way i addicted to nail painting, i just can stop to try and try every design for my nails, hehehe.
So, for the trial i choose Oh! Japanese version's concept.
And i think i did it quiet well :p
  

So, Watcha think?
i think i love my nails more,
oh oh oh oh, my nails saranghae! :D

Play With Colours: Nail Painting Addiction Continues

Hello October!
time flies faster than i thought, seriously, seems like it's just yesterday i celebrate my 21st birthday hahaha
and it's october already now.

Lately, i really love to play with colours and paint em on my nails without stickers or anything like that.
and this time i also make a nailart-painting or you can call it nail-painting.
i still use some pastel colours (as usual) and use black nail polish for some firmly touches.
maybe if you already read my previous post you may find the identical post with this one,
the post tittled 'Tell Me Your Wish', where i make a pastelized nail-painting with pastel colours too but no black, i was using white dots to combine the colours.
soooo, to make it different with that post, i decided to use the different colours and black touch here..

Curious?
Let's play with colours!

Step-By-Step :
(you can see it at the previous post anyway, you can see it here also --> Tell Me Your Wish)

So, how are they?
Which one do you prefer, the one with white dots or black dots?
I think i love both of them, it's always hard for me to choose which one is my favorite from the whole nailarts i've ever made :p

But honestly i love how i play with the black colour.
i feel different with the previous one, it looks stronger, firm, and kinda vigorous heheheh
so, do you dare to play with the colours on your nails too? ;)

August Nail Care

Hello, nails!
Since the very first post i've posted until my last post i've never write about any tips or any-nail-caring-treatment, right?
So this time i'm going to share you about.....................
My secret treatment for my cuticle around the nails :D
Actually it's not really a special treatment, but i usually do it once every 4 weeks..
but if you have sucha dry or sensitive skins, so you need do it more often,
maybe about once a week :)

So here is it, i'll tell you the secret!

These are the ingredients that you need to do the treatment :

And this is The STEP BY STEP :

1. The first step is soak your hands in a bowl of warm water (5-10 minutes)
2. Apply honey (it's better if you have the same clover honey with mine, it's so good!
    the price is about 290.000 rupiahs, you can buy from me also, i get it from my aunt :) )
3. After around 5-10 minutes, wash your hands to remove the honey, also with warm water.
    but this time, to really remove the honey, use baby soap.
    you can try any baby soap but i think Johnson's smells really good :D
4. Use facial tissue to dry your hands. Facial tissue has the softest texture among any tissues.
5. For the finishing touch: use skin food or body lotion. It's the most important part!
    body lotion or skin food provides the most moisture for your skin, especially the cuticule :)

If you notice it, this treatment is not only to caring your cuticule but also your nails are gonna be look more shining.. especially after you apply the skin food!
ps: i'm using Viva Skin Food, it's really good :D



You can try it at home, lads! and..... GOOD LUCK! ;)
