UP

Hi all! Belated happy hearts day everyone! ♥♥♥ Hope you had a lovely valentine, as for me I'm very very happy.. ☻ Anyway, Summer is fast approching here in the Philippines... It's very hot here nowadays. For summer nails, I made a simple mani using dried flowers. If you wish to buy some of them, Born Pretty have lots of nail art stuff including dried flowers. I love dried flowers so much. It looks like a lil'garden on my nails. I got the idea of hot air balloon from thriszha, I remember she made a manicure using this image plate last year. I also used konad m57 i.p. cloud design. It reminds me of the Disney movie "Up", my son love that movie so much that he used to watch it every night before going to sleep. He likes Kevin the big bird and the kid named Russell was so cute!
I like the finished product, it's really meant for summer.. Hope you like it too! God Bless you all!!

Review: Dried Flowers

Hi all, I received a gift from Born Pretty Store! I know some of you have heard and bought some items from this site. They're selling Nail Art Stuff which are very cheap and affordable! BTW,I used first the dried flowers that I got from Jessica of born pretty, I love how it looks, they look simple yet elegant. i think it's perfect for all occasions, in my 1st design, I picked the powder blue color for the base coat because it's much prettier when you use lighter shade...☻
Then I stamp it with m57 konad image plate net design and co5 octagon butterfly design. After that, I put blue and yellow dried flowers on my nail tips.
In my 2nd design, I made a red gradient effect, dark red from the tip fading to lighter red to the cuticle area.... Then i sticked some dried flowers on the tip of my nails.. I also added pearl beads...that's it!

Anyway.. Have you tried using dried flowers? Do you like them? which of my design do you prefer? The blue or the red one?
