CNY-Galaxy Nails

Made a comment on twitter that all the manicurists were all busy posting their clients’ photos but didn’t seem to post any of their own nails. This includes myself even though I didn’t really have clients…LOL

Did my nails at 12 midnight on Chinese New Year’s Eve.

Design was inspired by Christopher Kane’s Resort 2011 collection with galaxy prints.

Though Mama said “Looks like Indian nails.”

CNY-Joyful Nails

Joy found me online and booked me for CNY nails since October 2011.

Thanks for being so nice and patient! Hope your nails lasted after the WuXi PaiGu.

She asked for the design I did when I celebrated the regeneration of my toenails.

But requested for the white base to be changed to something less stark.

Had fun chatting with her and experimenting with the colour combinations.

Pink base (OPI A Dozen Rosa) overlay with white glitter (Maquillage) and roses nail art.

Pedicure was done the same way with design on the big toe.

CNY-Rainbow tips!

Made these for TPP. Hope she is doing well

She wanted something colourful for CNY.

Rainbow thumb tip, the rest were done with white half moons with gradient...

Gradient colours follow those on the thumb tips.

CNY-Wah! So Red!

Nail tips for Mrs Ho, who said painted nails can’t last till CNY cos she is going to make some yam thing.

Red base with gold leaves. Flowers and butterflies were her request.

Mrs Ho remarked "Wah! So red!"

The original colour was more maroon (left) but the top coat made it real RED (right).

Yellow gold brown

Sponging again, this time with 3 colors.

Mrs Ho says its very Chinese New Year

Gradient effect with 3 colors: yellow, gold and bronze

Real conversation...so embarrassing...
