white, grey, black

I've decided to take a little break from my school. I love my teachers, and I have new friends there, but I just don't feel like going back so soon after the exam. I feel like rewarding myself with nail art that I love to engage myself in, and give learning new things and stretching myself a break. 

 Acrylic art over white and silver polish.

beer

With a 8% alc percentage, this beer not only tastes fantastic, but gets you tipsy enough with just one! I found this treasure at Kaldie, and have been a fan ever since. It's also not so expensive either--just short of 300 yen. You should try it! 

EXAM! ARGH!

I've got just under two weeks till my exam, and I've been stressing quite a bit over how bad I am at nail polishing!! Believe it or not, it's much more than unscrewing a bottle of your favorite nail polish bottle, and swooshing the polish on your (or your friend's) nails! 

And don't get me started on cuticle cleaning! I must use a pair of scarry looking mini-wrench like thingie to remove loose cuticles that hinder nail art! An utter pain! While practicing the other day on my toe nails, I drew blood! Bloody difficult!

I will feel much better once I get this exam behind me, with some form of alcohol in one hand, enjoying Thailand's ridiculously hot weather! 

I must say, I'm bordering on hating the combination of red and flowers! 

lace love

Lace is my new thing, both for clothes and nail art. Of course, the shirt is from Zara-something I bought last year during the summer sales!

For my nails, I drew a simple lace pattern with acrylic paint over a silver coat of nail polish. And please try to ignore the awful flower on the far left. It's not supposed to be there.

exam art-flowers

These are the results of my hard work in preparation for my first nail art exam!

Drawing flowers--flowers in general, really-- have never been my thing, but I'm being forced to draw them, as that is the theme for the art part of my upcoming exam in April. Thanks to the assignment, I can cook up something quite extraordinary in just under 10 minutes. (the limit for how long we're allowed to spend on painting during the test)

dragon nail art

 Thought I'd spice things up a bit! Black acrylic art over pale pink nail polish.

 It works just fine for me!

silver, gold, black peacock design

 I admit it, I'm absolutely terrible with the peacock design! I find it almost impossible to create a pretty peacock design before the polish starts drying up! I spent close to 2 hours practicing this and trying to keep my hand steady!

 Frustrating, and a huge pain in the neck!

 Hope all this pays off!

Oh, and don't you just land my practice hand?

something different

 I'm branching out with my nail art! This was so fun to do! It was also a massive neck and back ache!
