Tools~Fan Brush


The fan brush is a rather peculiar thing. People often look at it for the longest time and think "Just what on earth do I use this for?". Lets unearth it's mystery,shall we?

Firstly, you can use it to make ombre or gradient nails. Instead of using a piece of sponge for the purpose, use the fan brush! Check out how to get ombre nails over here at this blog entry> Ombre Nails

Secondly, you can use the fan brush to uniformly sprinkle on  OR remove excess glitter on nails. 

Other than those, check this video out!

Z~Zig Zag


Ah, the humble zigzag pattern. 

Electrical hazards and lightning are usually depicted with zigzags. 

As well as a certain comic superhero. 

According to wikipedia, the flag of Nagorno-Karabakh, contains a zigzag pattern that reflects patterns used in their local rug making. 

Do you know what else are zigzags good for?

NAILS OF COURSE!

Zigzag nail art is also sometimes refered to as chevron nail art, although zigzags and chevrons are two different things. (The chevron is just a single V whereas zigzag is a string of Vs). But no matter, they are both equally beautiful on nails!

Take some pointers from these youtubers and get these eye-catching nails for yourself!




If you do not fancy dealing with sticky tapes, you can always draw the zigzag pattern on with a fine brush. 
It might not give you the sharpest most precise lines, but it does not have to be perfect. 
Just remember to have fun experimenting!

Y~Yummy


Yummy. Delectable. Heavenly. Delicious.
Words that one would normally not associate with fingernails but that is exactly what we are doing today.

A lot of nail enthusiasts love to use the ready to be sliced and used, FIMO sticks or do free hand drawings.

But you can always add your own twist into yummy nail art designs by painting your personal favourite foods or even glueing on miniature food models! I personally feel mini kuih nyonya on nails would be the cutest!


What's your favourite food?

If you somehow for reasons we don't fathom, cannot accept to have such wonderful nail designs before the Christmas season, perhaps you could practice the art from now and bedazzle friends and family when it's time.

From elegant to squeal-worthy cute, get inspired today with Christmas themed nails!

W~WONDER WOMAN

Picture from geekscape.net


While some of us may not have actually read the comic or seen the lady in action on tv, it may be hard to find someone who does not recognise
this iconic DC Comics super heroine

With her Lasso of Truth, a pair or indestructable bracelets, an invisible jet and others, Wonder Woman goes about fighting for justice,
love and peace clad in her ultra sexy costume. 

In 2011, MAC released a Wonder Woman themed collection which includes make up products as well as nail polishes.

Now before we attempt to emulate her kick-ass superhero spirit, lets 
kick things off by getting a Wonder Woman inspired nail makeover!


You could take the easy and awesome route by using nail stickers!
