Watermelon Nail Art

Hey Guys!
It's Sunday! meaning another nail art post for you guys... like what i said last week i'll be trying to make this as a regular once a week topic.. Moving on to the nail art, what i got for you guys today is another simple yet very cute design.. let me show you guys my watermelon nail art...
What do you think?

And here's the stuff that i used for this nail art..
Nature Republic Color Waltz PK 207 (pink polish), Caress Watermelon Frost (dark green polish), Rimmel London 080Black Cab (black polish), and dotting tool. These are just the stuff available in my stash, you can use any other brand of polish if you want to.

Let's start! first, paint all the nails a watermelon pink, or whatever shade of pink or red that you like to use. 
On my nails are two thin coats of Nature Republic PK207..

Next step, create a french tip using the dark green polish, this will be the watermelon rind.
I used caress watermelon frost for this step.. If you are not good at doing free handed french tips, you can always use tape, just make sure that the first layer of polish is dry.

And finally using the black polish and the dotting tool, apply random dots on the pink area, this will be the watermelon seeds.
Let all of the layers dry, then apply top coat to protect the design from chipping. :)

More pics for you guys..



You can also create something like this, to make it look like more of watermelon slices..
And that's it for today!
Hope you guys liked it!

Caress Iced Latte

Hey Ladies!
Happy Thursday everyone! I'm really excited for this coming weekend, what about you guys? But before the most awaited weekend, let me show you another classy nail polish..

Caress Iced Latte..
Made me go to the coffee shop... haha..

Caress Iced Latte is a Milky Brown Shimmer, i wonder why it says "frosted", Light Milky Brown Base filled with silver micro shimmer that makes it look like an iced coffee..
On my nails are two medium coats of iced latte, Pigmentation is just right, Formula is a little thin, it's prone to cuticle pooling, but application went quite well.

Jocarste Nail Polish 8100

Hi Ladies!
What a very exhausting tuesday! The weather here in my country is sooo mega hot, it's very humid, and that makes me lazy... anyways, enough of me let go to the polish..

Here is, Jocarste Nail Polish 8100
Another nail polish w/o a name, lame..

Jocarste 8100 is a glitter packed polish, it consist of clear jelly base packed with lots of gold square glitters, small purple hex glitters, and medium sized holograpic hex glitters.. it's really love at first sight when i saw this polish at the local dept. store.
On my nails are two thick coats of 8100, the formula is quite thick and application went went well, the thickness of the formula helped to maked the glitter stick to the polish brush making it easier to build up.

More pics for you guys!

Tony Moly Nail Enamel PP05

Hey Guys!
It's Monday again, and a great way to start the week right is showing you guys a very cute nail polish with a color that is perfect for the season. May i present to you,

Tony Moly Nail Enamel PP05
This is a nail polish that i got from a Korean store, i wonder why korean nail polish names are just code, it will be great if they give their products cute names just like other nail polish brands..

Tony Moly PP05 is a Lilac Shimmer nail polish, (Lilac base + Subtle silver micro shimmer) love love love...
On my nails are two thin coats.. this nail polish is very pigmented, actually i can go with just a single coat, but  i applied two when i swatched this polish just to even everything out.. The formula is OK and application went well, also, the drying time of this polish is amazing, it dried quickly, like just a minute after application.

More photos for everyone! (Indoors w/ flash)
