Mid Autumn

To a someone who is not Chinese or live in a place where there's little Chinese, the Mid Autumn period probably means next to nothing to you. Except maybe for "why haven't I updated my wardrobe yet to autumn-wear". 

For Chinese around the world, this is a time when Mid Autumn festival or often known as moon cake festival, is celebrated. It is a time for families to get together and reconnect as they enjoy the sweet delights in the company of colourful glowing lanterns and the bright moon.

While you may not bother with the festivity itself, there's no harm in getting some nail art in conjunction with it!

Enjoy experimenting!

You have seen charms as necklaces, bracelets and even as phone decoration. 

But have ever seen charms on someone's nails?

Believe it or not, some of us even use these intricate little adornments as art for nails! 

But if making holes in your nails and then looping in the charms are a little too hardcore for you, you could always opt for milder options that are no less eye catching.

Aren't 2D bags and totes the cutest things?? 

Complete with vivid, solid colours and seemingly flat, they look as if someone simply lifted them off a comic page!

You could also duplicate this cuteness on your nails!

Gel colour powder or pigments are exactly that; a dry colouring matter that you can use in your manicures.

There are a few ways that you can use such pigments such as mixing them into gels or polishes to concoct a colour of your choice or dabbing or dusting them over cured gel nails, creating your very own piece of art.





Check out how you can make your own nail art with pigments!
