Lovely Lipstick

Im loving Revlons "Prim-Rose " Lipstick !Its a creme formula and it goes on so natural and creamy ! In the photo below I have it next toMacs " Snob "  I actually prefer the Revlonone as the Mac one looks almost too pasty on the lips. I dont know how to explain it. The revlon one justlooks more subtle and complimentary.When I saw it in the tube at the storeI was worried it would show up on mylips like the Mac one ... but it didnt ! Its a pinkish color, no shimmerwith just a hint of lilac.It does look very similar to "Snob "But, it goes on much better and its more moisturizing ! I love drugstore lipsticks !The revlon one is in the gold tube :&nb...

New Colors, New Creation

Sitting in front of more than 60 new color samples of acrylic color powders, my head starts spinning and adrenalin starts pumping. I feel like a little girl in a candy store ! It's finally narrowed down to 48 colors and now begins my journey of making a difference with the designs that I'm about the create with these new amazing colors which will now be part of the ONE new acrylic collection by Odyssey.To make art wearable, encapsulated or embedded art is not only long lasting and stunning in appearance, it gives a "looking into glass" effect. I'm taking it one step further to introduce movement, layering and realism into my embedded art which is all created with brushwork...

Year Of The Rabbit 2011

Year of the Rabbit, painted with The ONE Gel Paint Year 2011 for me started off with an exciting trip to Seoul for the 5th Global Nail Cup. The weather was freezing and hovering between -5 to -16 degrees celcius and for the first time in all these years to Korea, I was caught in the middle of a heavy snowfall right in the heart of Seoul ! Our team took home 13 awards from the event including the Best Team Effort award. I had the privilege of showing the new gel painting (The ONE) in the super demo together with five other international nail artists from Korea (Nam Gung Soo & Lim Hee A), Australia (Viv Simmonds), Netherlands (Tamara Bhagoe) and Japan (Jurry Sato). My theme...

Pink and girly!

Other than bridal nails, I also did quite a bit of fun designs.Baby pink with black hearts, lace, polka dots and finally pink n white bows! Other than the embossed bows, the decos are all embedded within the gel. ;) Design from Nail Max.Pink leopard prints inlays! Can you see the glitter? Hehe. I have the prints in black as well.And this is the design I love most! I also gotta love her nail bed size cos they are wide enough to create this lovely design. Heh. ;DModified design from Nail M...

Hope everything goes well for her : ) In this clip you can tell she is super nervous.Her voice is usually better but anyway yay her ! I would have fainted ! Lol !&nb...

Designs for Short Nails

Sometimes certain nail designs or colorslook better or equally as good on short nails.The first thing is colors. For some people with long nails that wear all dark or black nail polish  - it can come off looking witch-esque. People with shorter nails can carry black or darker colors off much better. Im talking about all black/dark nails with no design. I also think super metallic or even minx nails look better on short/medium nails.Also nude, natural colors look so amazing on short nails. Even better than on long nails in my opinion.Pastel colors also look great on short nails ! Next...
