DIY KittyHeadband

probably you have seen a lot of kitty headband lately

and i saw when watching a Taiwan show called "女人我最大"
And I saw this :

yes ! she is Tsubasa Masuwaka!! How adorable she is ! You know what she is already a mother of a child ! But she still can maintain her body and cuteness!
So I found the kitty headband is so cute and decided to DIY it (because i cannot find it at my place)

Here are the things that you need :

First step : Draw a cat ear shape on cardboard  and cut it !

Second step : Shape the wire accordingly

Third step : Paint the wire black with black nail polish

Sorry for the quality , i don't owe a good camera :/

Paint for every sides and allow it to dry before move on to the next step!

and you will get something like this :

tips :

this is for wrapping on the headband
 it is easier to maintain the ear shape by not holding the ear part

then the next step is picking up your selection beads
in this case, i am using beads that is for nails >,<
and i bought it at daiso
It came with several sizes and i use the smaller size one
but now i found it is better to use the bigger one as is it more visible when taking photo with it

Next step is glue the beads to the headband

and this is what i do

I squeeze a little bit of glue on a paper then using the tweezers to pick up the beads and dip a bit of glue then glue it to the headband

this is much easier and clean rather than you directly put the glue on the beads

(another low quality camera)

so then you will get something like this

ta daah :

as i mentioned before, it is better to use the bigger beads

see it is hard to spot on the beads 

The very last step :

wrap it on your headband

and this is how i wrap :S

and you are done  :)

I know it might not be durable but at least it is quite cute :p

almost invisible in a white background

and hoping my face getting smaller LOL

fatty cheeks

hahahah, this one is the best and i decided to post in on instagram 

(follow me @helenkoru :P)

so thanks for reading !!!

Pink French Nails

Yes, another nails design !

Instead of using white, I am using soft pink with a little bit of shimmering polish to create the french tip and I am using scotch tape to help me, it is very easy and you definitely won't mess up !

I love it cause it made me feel more princess-ish and glamorous!

hahaha

1. First you need the scotch tape and what you need to do is paste it below your tip

2. Then you want to apply the base coat on your tip

3. Apply the the polish (you can choose any color that you prefer)

4. Wait it to completely dry.

5. Peel off the scotch tape (you may keep the scotch tape and use it on your another hand)

6. Use cotton bud dip into clear water clean the glue that left on your nails

7. Apply to coat and your are done ! :)

( okay, my hair is in a mess when I do my nail XD)

so I hope you enjoy my quick tutorial !

Pink Leopard Nails

I am not a person who crazy about leopard prints. 

But when i saw this image, It is SUPER CUTE ! You may think it is complicated, you are wrong! It is super easy, all you need to do is only dotting.

And I decided to give it a try, so here are the few steps :

1. Things you need : 

- Your favorite base and top coat

- Light pale pink nail polish

- Baby pink nail polish

- Dark chocolate nail polish

- Dotting tools/pen/back of the makeup brush

2. Prep your nails with base coat !

I am using OPI start to finish base & top coat.

As the name stated, you can use it as base coat and also top coat!

But sadly, I dropped this after i finished the nails and the bottle was cracked, i wont be able to use it and need to buy a new one TT

3. Paint your nails with the light pale pink polish

2. Create a few spots using the tip of the brush

what you need to do is only using the brush directly dot on the nails, and you get something like this :

3. Create bracket or "C"

After the dots are completely dry, using the the dotting tools to create bracket on the spots that we did in the step 2.

create a few dots and dot around the baby pink until it achieved the "C" shape

It will end up like bracket

you don't need to be perfect, just make some irregular "C" shapes

on this step, you may refer to the image of leopard prints!

4. Fill in the gap

You may find some areas are not filled, you add more "C" shapes to fill in the gap! 

5. Apply your top coat to protect the design and FINISH!

Aren't they adorable?

Here are some few tips from me :

1. Try to do from your pinky nails to you thumbs , you will find out why

2. You don't need to be perfect. The more irregular of your dots, it will be more look alike with the leopard prints ! (so I found my right hand's nails better than the left hand)

3. I suggest to create bigger baby pink dots, because if you created a very small baby pink dot, it won't be visible after surrounded by the dark chocolate polish.

So thanks for reading my blog. Get your polishes, go creative and rock it with other colours !

Blastful Birthday, Blissful me

I supposed to be post this earlier, but due to the busyness and laziness so I didn't make it :P

so it will be a post about my birthday this year.

For the past few years, i was very looking forward for this year, the reason being was my bday this year was on weekend! HAHAHA

I know its kinda stupid and  funny, but weekend is the day where people do not need to work or school, where people can go out without thinking too much burden and relax! And the benefit for me as a planner/host is I don't need to be worry whether the guest will come or not, cause most of people are free on weekend!

But when it came to this year, don't know why, I didn't expect too much about it, even i planned not to celebrate it. Another reason was that i found i would had my last exam in my semester on the next day after my bday :/ . So I decided I will only have a small celebration for my bday after the exam ( and also celebrate the exam is over!!)

But .. this year was awesome! The reason being that i said it was blasful, besides there was exam =.= but also it was because everything had planned to me !

On Thursday, 23th August 2012

I received a birthday cake after so many years! It was from Kat and Wai Mun. 

btw, one was for me and one is for Xiang Ming (her bday is on 27 August)

the funniest part was they played the bday song from the laptop, HAHAHA

Then the next day, I got promise with Grace and Audrey to go out on that day.

Because they said during the exam we can't wear shorts, so Grace wanted to find long pants for the exam. But I only can until 3 pm cause I need to meet my bf to prepare for exam.

So we met at city hall and after a while Audrey suggested to have lunch.

She wanted to eat sushi. So we decided to go to Sushi Tei.

Here are some photos we took at there : 

that time I was sitting face to the entrance and Audrey said she wanted to sit next to the Grace, so I change my sit with Audrey which made me faced to the wall.

And when we were choosing the food from the menu, Sunny and my Bf suddenly appeared with the cake on hands! And they started to sing the bday song for me ! I am shocked when I saw my bf, because he told me he was watching anime at his place

I was so surprised till I cried ! 

Maybe you will think I exaggerated , but it was a surprise that I never received for so long !

At the moment, I think that I was the happiest girl in the world !!!

I have my best boyfriend and best friends together at here to celebrate my birthday !

:D

the cake was from awfully chocolate, it was chocolate banana and it was yummy!

with the girls and I am so huge =.= but still cant stop smiling !

with him :)

"tou pai" Sunny and Celest :P

cutting the cake and i forgot what i have wished for

some of the food that we had that day :)

And i decided to pay for our lunch but they stopped me.

And Audrey said that they wanted to make me blissful, they don't want me to worry too much

what they want is let me enjoy this lunch without burden

I am so touched when i heard this

and the only thing that I can do is saying thankyou, so i kept saying thankyou and thankyou and thankyou!

and on the bday

I received sweet greetings from my 2 sweet friends :)

It was from my friend Augustina ! she is always so sweet :)

Another one is from Liana cc (HAHAHAHA)

Both of them are in Malaysia, and I didnt see them for ages already ! :(

I hope I can meet them soon

After the exam, I and my bf went out to celebrate and it was just an normal outing like usual

but I enjoyed the moments when i was with him :)

On that day I was putting makeup on my face

I am using scotch tape tip from Michelle Phan combine with the Bronzed Goddess Look  from Jen (frmheadtotoe)

and the result was a bit different from what I expected, but it was still okay

Maybe i put it too heavy / too high and it made me a bit fierce

at last

i wanted to say  I AM THE HAPPIEST THE GIRL IN THE WORLD :)
