[ENG] Last Saturday, I volunteered to hand out flyers for Arras Nihon Matsuri that I'm tabling at next weekend. The aim wasn't to promote myself of course and there would have been no point when nobody knows who I am or what I do. So I did my nails for the first time in months and used ink so that I could incorporte it to my Inktober x'D You'd ( Read more... )

[ENG] Testing a nail polish that was donated by my friend again. Definitey not among my colours but very pretty nevertherless and goes very well with silver. As you can see, I messed up my right thumb sand placed the dotted lines on the wrong side x'D

[FR] Le one stroke, ça a l'air facile quand on regarde des Youtubeuses comme Ophélie/Tartofraises et Aurore/CherryNailart, mais c'est vraiment un coup de main à choper. Sur les 10 doigts, seul le pouce gauche a été exécuté correctement. Le coup de pinceau est important, c'est ce qui donne son nom à la technique, mais il ne faut pas oublier l'autre ( Read more... )

[ENG] Went for something simple this time ( Read more... )

[ENG] First try at the one stroke technique on my nails, I gave up pretty quick and didn't do all of the nails x'D It's not even a real one stroke because I dabbed instead of rotating the brush in my fingers.

[FR] Premier essai de one stroke monochrome sur mes ongles, j'ai vite laissé tomber x'D Ce n'est même pas vraiment du one stroke car j'ai ( Read more... )

[ENG] I was so disappointed with my last try that I made something else right away. This time I used a bevelled brush and ended up with this interesting petal shape. It's fairly easy to execute, my brush was a bit springy and this helped adding this nice effect in the center of the petal. For my right hand, I only did 2 nails this way and the rest ( Read more... )

[FR] Ce joli vert a définitivement une note estivale. Pas de dégradé cette fois, mais le même motif de feuilles. Pas très réussi, je n'ai pas assez dilué mon acrylique et les traits sont assez épais. J'ai aussi mis du top coat mat pour aider la peinture à accrocher et je pense m'en passer à l'avenir. Premièrement, cela ajoute une épaisseur ( Read more... )

[ENG] A friend of mine came for a visit and she brought a truck worth of gifts : nail polishes, acrylic paint, stripers, nail art brushes, dotting tools AND a deck of Bicycle playing cards. This rosy brown is so lovely, I had to try it right away. The leaf pattern done with my weak hand looks really awkard, but from afar, it's okay. Of course, I ( Read more... )

[ENG] I quite like painting patterns over my natural nail base so I went for something simple incorporating music. My right hand, painted with my weak hand, does not look too bad but I had to paint soooooo slowly, it took forever x'D I chose to draw the cello ear with my dominant hand, to do the treble clef -which is more chunky- with my left hand ( Read more... )
