Whenever I get my nails done, I always wish that I could afford something a little bit extravagant, like a cool design. I have absolutely no artistic ability, so doing my own nail art is pretty much impossible. I’ve been hearing a lot lately about Konad nail stamps though, and I’m sort of interested in testing them out! The design above was done by Beautopia! More »

For this week’s YouTube tutorial, I actually tried out the method being taught! Water marbling is how you can create a tie-dye sort of look on your nails, and it is actually a lot of fun to do! You can see my results above, which actually look a lot cooler in real life. It’s hard to take pictures without good lighting! I did two “accent” nails as the video suggests, because I didn’t have the time to do my full hands. More »

In my earlier post, I didn’t write about the lovely Miss Marion Cotillard at last night’s awards ceremony. That’s because she deserves her very own post! In addition to sporting a totally cool updo and a sexy gown that revealed a little peek of a lacy slip underneath, she also rocked some awesome forest green nail polish! More »

From Girlybubble: I really hate that I’m initially inclined to feeling like I have to eat something if I see something cute. Fuzzy puppies on the street, babies and cute boys are instant mind triggers for this thought: NOM NOM NOM!!!! In a heartbeat, I’d find myself the nearest nail salon willing to apply Hello Kitty gumball machine nail art to my nails such as the ones pictured above. Unfortunately, the one thing that is holding me back from doing this is, I’m afraid of acrylic nail poisoning — I’d want to eat my own nails! More »

My obsession with my nails goes way back to my days as an elementary school kid. I still vividly remember the day that two malicious classmates looked at my nails and then at their own, declaring that mine were “flat, short, ugly and like boy nails” while theirs were rounded and shaped. My little second-grade heart broke at the thought that I had boy nails because, of course, I had never thought of this before.

Fast-forward to my adolescence and further frustration with my nails. They are so thin that I could never get acrylics without destroying them. I tried all kinds of topcoats enriched with vitamins and keratin and every nail-strengthening ingredient, but nothing ever worked. Then I discovered Calgel. More »
