Press Your Number

As I'm sure you've all gathered by now, I am incredibly SM biased so all it took was a simple request on youtube for me to go ahead and make a design for Taemin's solo comeback!

Leopard Print Vinyls Review

Hey guys! I'm so sorry I've been MIA for a few weeks! I've been super busy with school (and I still am sobs), and I also took a tip to Montreal with some friends over reading week so I've had pretty much no time to write up blog posts. Hopefully I'll be less busy after October aka Midterm season. >.<

Anyways, it's review time! Today I’ll be talking about some vinyls that I received from Born Pretty Store.

Roaring Nails

Have roaring nails, not boring nails!

A few weeks ago my friend Robin from Roaring Nails contacted me about participating in her Summer of Guest Posts series and I was more than happy to agree to it! You can check out my guest post here! 
Since she said I could do whatever I wanted to for the post I decided to literally make roaring nails for her!

Holler

Welcome back to me! I've been m.i.a. from the nail art scene for over a week because University started again and it's been kicking my butt. It's weird to actually have to go to class and hand in projects after being off for 4 months; it's hard getting back into that rhythm!

But on a brighter note I finally managed to find some time to do my nails and it was just in time for TaeTiSeo's comeback! Super excited about it and thus I just had to do a design inspired by their title track Holler.

Darling

Technically I'm a little late with this since Girl's Day had their comeback over a week ago, but I still wanted to do something for their super cute new song Darling!

I Wanna Dance

Well would you look at that, it's time for another Music Video inspired manicure!

The short version of I Wanna Dance by Super Junior's Donghae & Eunhyuk was released this past week, and since SuJu is my bias group, a manicure needed to happen.

I had a bit of a hard time picking out outfits and sets to recreate this time around, but I think I found some pretty good ones.

Eunhae's video is so fluffy and cute, I hope I captured that with this design!

Fun facts about this manicure, I redid both the thumb and pinky on my left hand because I wasn't happy with the original designs. I tried to recreate Eunhyuk's green jacket on the thumb and one of the backup dancer's shirts on the little finger, neither of which turned out the way I planned.

But I think everything turned out alright in the end ~

30 Day Nail Challenge, Day 13: Animal Print

So. Animal Print.
I've dabbled in animal print before, such as in Days 2 & 3 of this challenge, as well as in my Why So Serious? manicure, however I'm labeling this as my first manicure fully dedicated to animal print.
I've been wanting to try this leopard print for a while, though I've never had the time. It's a lot easier than I thought it would be.
I'm still loving the studs from born pretty store, and I've found that they stay on for a much longer time if you put a top coat on over top of them. They will stay without, but the top coat significantly increases the number of days the studs will stay adhered.

Products Used:Revlon - 955 Quick Dry Base Coat
Rimmel London - 100 Base & Top Coat
Sally Hansen - 03 Dune
Essie - 624 Mink Muffs
Quo by Orly - 59701 Black
2mm Square Gold Studs

Why So Serious?

Once again, as some of you may know, SHINee made their comeback two days ago with Chapter 2 of their 3rd Studio Album, Why So Serious?: The Misconceptions of Me.

Since I did a manicure inspired by their Dream Girl music video, it's only fitting that I do one inspired by the music video for their title track Why So Serious? too!

Like last time, each nail is inspired by either an outfit or a scene from the music video!

These took a really long time to do, almost 2 hours deciding on scenes and then the feat of grabbing a good screenshot for reference, and then almost 3 hours to do the actual painting. It was totally worth it, though, since I'm just as in love with this manicure as I was with my Dream Girl one!

Ahhh, I'm just really happy with these, they're going to make me smile all week!
