Gelish: Sweet Polka on Make A Difference

I promised to blog last night, but was seriously too tired, plus I'm coming down with a flu. Struggling to update now and having to blow my nose from time to time. But with no further ado, here it is. (:

Mum did a gelish switch from Gelish Light Elegant to Gelish Make A Difference (from the Breast Cancer Awareness Limited Edition). A pity I forgot to take a picture of her previous Gelish before removing it. Mum was extremely satisfied with this set of nails! For the first time, she finally got her nails painted. In the past, it would chip off after 2-3 days. Hence, she didn't see a point in painting her nails. She is partly why I invested in Gelish as well, so that she no longer have to worry about non-lasting manicures. (:

 A final look! Advised mum to apply more hand cream and cuticle oil daily to nourish her cuticles and the skin around it. (:

Swirl Roses

I invited my ex-colleague, who is also my mum's very close friend, Miss Mary, over to my place the other day to get her nails done. She has a really nice nail bed that's long - exactly what I need to practice nail art. Hence, she brought her OPI Polish over and I did a manicure and pedicure for her f.o.c.

I used OPI's Planks A Lot from the latest Pirate's Collection for the base, before swirling the roses with white and purple acrylic paint. I added the leaves with dark green acrylic paint before adding details with light green acrylic paint to give it more depth.

I really liked the outcome of it because it was a vast improvement as compared to the first time I tried swirling roses. Practice makes perfect eh? (:

Miss Mary has a habit of painting the exact same thing for her hands and her feet. Hence, I created a matching set for her toes. Felt bad cause boyfriend dropped by my place and was waiting for me to finish. Miss Mary was so afraid that I'd just forget about her toes. Hahaha.

Tadah! I'm happy with the end product. How about you? How would you rate the design?

Miss Mary will be coming by again on Wednesday to change her design. Stay tuned! (:
