Nail Art April: Minimal, Pop of Color and Accent

Of course I was late again, so here’s another combination mani that combines the last three prompts: minimal, pop of color and accent. So, I did them all together… on one nail 🙂 I used the just released Serum No. 5 Guiding Light as the base of my mani and applied a quick dry top […]

Nail Art April: Easter

Happy Easter! For today’s Easter prompt, I decided to freehand a kawaii bunny and do some easy-peasy Easter egg-ish nail art using the vinyls from the Know Your Lines Cut It Out Nail Vinyls. For this mani, I used Essie Blanc, Essie Licorice and China Glaze Pinking Out the Window for the bunny. I then […]

31 Day Challenge: Honor Nails You Love

It’s the last day of the 31 day challenge! Can I just say it’s about time? There are so many nail designs that I love, but today I couldn’t decide on one; then, I saw this simple white designs from a local salon’s IG account (kawaii_nails_tustin_ca). Obviously, theirs looks much better than mine. I really […]

31 Day Challenge: Inspired by a Book

I had these done yesterday but I was too tired to even try and transfer them onto the computer. I love this prompt because I’m a bookworm at heart. I’ll happily read sci-fi, romance, contemporary, self-helps and the classics. I mean, I read Crime and Punishment for fun. So as much of a bibliophile that I […]

31 Day Challenge: Galaxies

I love galaxy nails if only because sometimes, the messier the better! They seem really intricate, but really, they can be done in as quickly as five minutes. Colors used: Serum No. 5 Acai of Relief, Indi-Glo, Blue Blazes, Laven-Daringly Bright, Pure Glow Getter and Lights Out and China Glaze Fairy Dust. To do these, […]

31 Day Challenge: Geometric

For geometric nails, I wanted to do something easy, so I thought how about some simple shapes to form a mosaic? Easy, right? Wrong. Guess who was sorely mistaken and spent over an hour doing her nails painstakingly painting triangles? This girl… Colors used: Essie Blanc and China Glaze Neon & On, For Audrey and […]

31 Day Challenge: Animal Print

It’s animal day and I decided to go with snakes! For this prompt, I decided to recreate a previous mani that I did and absolutely loved: a neutral purple-toned snakeskin. I did have to sacrifice the nails though, my stamp plate that I had in mind was too small for my current length. Can we […]

31 Day Challenge: Rainbow

Can I just say how much I love this mani? I’m a total newb at nail art and to be honest, I desperately need a clean up brush because my painting skills are a hit and miss haha. When I was taking a look at the prompts for this challenge and saw “rainbow,” I knew […]

Abstract Rainbows and Unicorns

Happy 2 year anniversary to Serum! I have to say that I am so incredibly thankful to have even gotten this far! For today’s mani, I was inspired by The Polish Aholic‘s holo unicorn mani atop of rainbow gradient. So I grabbed some of my favorite glow polishes and using the watercolor technique I got […]
