Pink Overload

:::Here’s to some pinky goodness:::

Pink stripey nails to match my pink stripey DS holder (which contains a metallic pink DS) on top of my pink laptop.

These nails were inspired by a video tutorial on youtube, which I can’t seem to find again. But never fear, for TLP is here! (TLP’s my initials, FYI).

It’s super easy.

Just paint the base a light pink, wait for it to dry, then add vertical stripes in red and silver glitter, topcoat, and you’re done! woot.

See? They match good.

 

And another one, just cos pink is pretty.

Don’t the hearts just look soo cute? They’re some really old nail art stickers that I’ve had for so long that the backs aren’t even sticky anymore. I used some clear nailpolish as an adhesive. But they’re still cute. Yep. Still cute.

Haha! I love this pic… It’s so cool (well at least I think so anyway, please don’t burst my happy bubble). I didn’t notice the area of shade till I was reviewing the photos on the camera, and it looks like there’s a spotlight shining on the nails. ^^

This is the base color I used (Sally Hansen Maximum Growth plus in Pure Putty), which wasn’t pinkish enough in the end, so I had to add some bright pink stripes in between. If you observe the first few pics closely, you’ll see that some stripes are of a dusty pink color, which is this color here.

Bought at Groove for AUD$5, it’s supposed to contain vitamins A, C, and E and soy protein. Didn’t notice any difference, though that’s probably cos I’ve only worn this once for about 4 days.

I think this is a pretty color for those days when you just want a soft muted color. I find this color very calming.

Application-wise, the formula was very runny, which makes the polish very sheer. However, the polish does apply pretty  well. This is 3 coats, but even 3 coats doesn’t feel very heavy on the nails. But then, the nail lines are still obvious, see…

p.s. In case anyone thinks I’m a pink freak whose entire wardrobe is pink and is obsessed with Hello Kitty and the likes, I’d just like to clarify that, no, I’m not. There are less than 8 pink pieces in my cupboard.

Pink in small does is good. Pink on nails is good. Pink on accessories is good. Pink in small doses maketh me happy. Pink overload in this post was done on purpose.

As with all things in life, balance is key.. .eh?
