Tutorial ~*Pink Lacey Nails*~

 

Tadaa.....JamZ-T Pink Lacey Nails

Hi Ladies, I have just came out with a pink lacey nails in conjuction of both Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year celebration, I think they will do just wonderful ^-^

How do you like them?

You can always change the color and pattern based on you preference, this is just what I have experimented with my Konad's stamping plate. I love them!!

 

1. First of  all, I get my nails painted in pink, don't forget to apply a thin layer of base coat before topping your nail color. ( I am using Etude House Petit Darling Nails in PK009, its a pretty Barbie pink color, as for my base coat, I picked OPI Start to Finish Base & Top Coat)

2. Next get your Konad's stamping kit ready with your selected stamping plate, for this look I choose M57 stamping plate. ( You can get this Konad's stamping kit at Etude House if you are in Malaysia, they are relatively inexpensive, ranging from RM10 -RM30 depending on what you getting)

3. Select the color you want to be stamped on your nails. For this look, I chose black. (I am using Elainto Nail Color- Twilight Zone) (Tips: For effective stamping effect please use matte color and avoid shimmery colors)

  

 4. With your stamping plate M57, select a lacey pattern.

5. Brush on some nail color on the selected design.

6. Scrap off the excess nail color with the scraper.

7. Using the stamping tool, stamp on your design as soon as you scrap the excess nail color to avoid the color on the stamping plate dries up. ( I highly advice you to play and practice before starting your project)

8. Using a rolling motion as per the above picture, stamp the pattern on from left to right when you stamping you right finger nails and right to left when your stamping your left finger nails. It is okay if the is excessive color touching your skin. You can easily clean them off with a cotton bud later.

  

9. To get my nail design, I actually stamp two/three lacey pattern on my nails (depending on the size) by row to get the full lacey nail look effect.

10. You can see picture 9 and 10 difference. With one and with two lacey image on. It's ok to have it a little messy for first few attempts, but you will get better once you practice more often.

11. I also spray on Kate Nail Color Dry to expedite the drying process. I think I got this for RM19.90 from Watson ( Not sure whether are they on discount at the time of purchase) I think they are pretty effective in drying up my nails and I love it so much since I do not need to wait for my nails to dry.

Lastly, my advice? 

i. Do practice more with the stamping kit

ii. This is a very messy project, especially if you are attempting to use black, remember to always cover your working area with papers, set a side a tiny cup of nail polish remover, cotton, cotton bud in-case you make any mess.

Hope you enjoy the look!!!!! 

Have a Happy Chinese New Year to those who celebrates it and Happy Valentine's Day!!!!! 

Have a loving week ahead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Till then XOXO from JamZ-T

  

Tutorial: **Watermelon Nails**

Hi there ladies, as promised, Watermelon Nails ^^

Supposed to upload this yesterday, but I decided to take a break and read some news instead =P

Yup, thanks to Watermelon, I got inspired and came out with this nail design ^_________^ *proud*  haha...

~My Yummy Inspiration~

Alright let’s get started!!

1. As per my normal practice, use a nail polish removal to remove the dirt of oil on your nails. This step will help to ensure the nail color stick on better onto your nails and longer lasting. (I am using Sally Hansen Polish Remover- Fast and Gentle. I love this remover as it is gentle on my nails, I do notice it does not dries up my nails like other nail polish remover do. But the down side is, it is not Acetone Free.)

2. Secondly, apply 2 thin layer of base coat. (I am using Ecrinal. I love this base coat so much. It does really protect my nails from turning yellow.)

3. Next, apply 2 thin layer of pink nail color onto whole of your nail. (I am using O.P.I- Pinking of You. The lightest yet sweetest pink shade I have seen so far, so natural.)

4. Using a dark green nail color act as the watermelon skin, applies it onto the tip of your nail. Since I do not have dark green nail color, I am using acrylic color as a replacement as I do not have any dark green nail polish. Acrylic paint has been used by many professional manicurists to draw wonderful pattern on nails. (I am using Winson & Newton Acrylic color-480 in dark green. You can see where I get them from my previous post >>here<<. To apply onto your nail, use a thin nail brush to apply them on. But if you do not own them, just take any painting brush you have, tiny enough to draw a line on your nail tip.)

5. Using a white nail color, draw a thin white line between the pink and dark green nail color. ( I am using Zhi Yen Nail Art Brush in bottle in white. I got this from the Curve Saturday and Sunday street market. They are really inexpensive, can’t really recall, but it cost either RM5 for 2 or RM10 for 3. If you couldn’t get the same, just use a white nail color and a thin brush to draw the line.)

6. Taking a black nail color, draw tiny dots on the pink area to imitate the watermelon seeds. You can choose to use a tiny brush to dot them or a tooth pick to assist you on this. You do not have to make them look perfect, just tiny enough to look like seeds will do. (I am using Zhi Yen Nail Art Brush in bottle in black)

7. Lastly, brush on two thin layer of good top coat.

~The Yummy Result~

YES, you made it again!!!!


I love them ^^ look so yummy haha..

XOXO Thanks for dropping by again!
