Gel Mani: Ribbons

This design was posted by Ying for Lancome lookbook! Audrey loved the design and told me to recreate it using similar colours!

I used Angel Pro #13, #35 and Orly Gel FX Luxe! Initially wanted to place some studs on the ribbons’ center but however my studs isn’t suitable as it was too big so we switched it up with gold gel polish instead!

Geraldine wanted to do the same design that I did ages back for one of my clients, only in a different colour scheme!

I used Angel Pro #13, #23, #47 and Orly Gel FX Shine! As it was for her sister’s wedding, she wanted to bling it up a little! Love how well the crystals looked with the entire set 😉 I also love her broad nail bed! Stay tuned for her sister’s wedding nails in the next post!

P.S. I used a different cuticle oil this round – China Glaze which resulted in redness near the nails, so don’t fret!

Gel Mani: Dancing Ribbons

Silly me forgot to take pics of Shu Jun’s mani ;( but luckily I have nice customers that don’t mind sending me theirs! ;D

Half-moons with simple ribbons, I love these! Makes me happy when I look at them!

I used Angel Pro #9, #13, #47 and Gelle 177 and 187 for this look and lastly used Orly Gel FX Shine to line the scallop tips! A very interesting mixture of colours… super unique! I also added very tiny polka dots at the centre of the nail; so cute!

Gel Mani: My Melody x Polka Dots

Yuki wanted My Melody nails and luckily on that day I just bought extra 2 packets 😀

Photobucket

She wanted rainbow colours but she had no idea what else to add on so I suggested half-moons and white polka dots to make it extra cute! I used Gelish Waterfield, Angel Pro #9, #10, #13, #25, #47 and Nfu Oh European Life 7!

Sealed in the stickers with my extra thick top coat from Nfu Oh! I love this top coat, it’s simply amazing to have clients come back with their embellishments and stickers intact 😉

Rachel wanted a set a subtle leopard heart print design suitable for important meetings at work! So she showed me a design from the internet and here’s the results!

I used AngelPro #1, #3 and #39 for the base colours and then used AngelPro #9, #11, #13, #21 for the colourful leopard prints and lastly Nfu Oh Golden Key 1 for the silver gitter and Orly Gel FX Shine for the lining of the half-moons! So pretty!

Gel Mani: Dotted and Lace

Celest took a design from a Japanese page and here’s the outcome! I followed the picture exactly, except that I changed the black disco balls to polka dots instead!

Photobucket

The colours I used are Angel Pro #13 and #29 and Harmony Gelish Vegas Nights! Colours is much more brighter and vibrant in real life, my camera is always wonky in the mornings… pics are sooo dull! 😦

Gel Mani: Sweet Aztec

Rachel gave me a good challenge: Aztec/tribal nails!! Yay I’ve been wanting to do this style for sooooo long! Hehe hope I can do more of such designs in different color combinations ^^

This design is inspired from Jenrine!

Photobucket

I used Angel Pro #9, #11, #13, #21, #28, #29 and #47 for all the art! Good gracious, we did use ALOT of colors for the art!

What I like about Aztec art is that, you can go crazy with any color combinations! What’s important is the black lines that determines the pattern!

I really love this set, and it’s my first time doing it on a client so I’m so happy for such a beautiful outcome! And it wasn’t that time consuming as I thought, I was able to finish it in 2 hours and 15 mins including classic gel mani!

Gel Mani: Stupid Cupid Stop Picking On Me

Heh, obviously the title is from a Mandy Moore’s song for the Princess Diaries… Ahh love the song and this manicure too! Sharon came by to get her nails done for her upcoming friend’s wedding and its so appropriate to get Cupid on her nails!

Photobucket

I used all Angel Pro Gelly colours for this manicure: #5, #9, #11, #13 and #21! Love all the pastel colours! Each nail is a different combination of stickers, crystals and the ring finger has a white lace + exquisite heart charm! (unfortunately, the charms were a gift from Teacher Jess so I have no extras for future customers… D:)
