Clover Nails

on Sunday, March 10, 2013




This will be a very quick post, but will require to take a longer time to do this clover nail.
I always think that clovers are cute! And it means lucky !!
So i hope me and everyone will be lucky in this 2013, not too late, it is just beginning of March!!

Lets get started !!
What you need: scotch tape, dotting tools, and green polish !!

Yes, if you are a huge fan of Michelle Phan, I am sure you will know this technique of her to create the happy clouds nails! At the first time, I want to directly draw clover on my nails, but i found it was difficult and easy to mess it up, it also very hard to get "symmetrical clover". Then suddenly I just think of this technique, decided to try it out and it worked!!

So basically you need a scotch tape, paste it on the flat surface.
Then you want to create two little dots with your dotting tools

Then use a smaller dotting tools to pull down and create a heart shape
then do as many as you can !!!!

Then you need to wait it until completely dry 

After all are dry, then you need to pull out the scotch tape and paste it back, you will find some of the heart will leave the surface of the scotch tape (sorry, did not manage to take picture of it)  and it will be easier for you to pick it up using tweezers.

Directly paste on your nails finish off with you top coat !
, and here is the result
i am using "kyoto pearl" from OPI as the base colour, it is a sheer, translucent white color and I think it fits with my clover !!


TIPS:
1) The hears shape does not need to be prefect, but the size must be same
2) You really need to wait the heart to be dry, then you can easily pick up, for me I waited about 30-40 minutes.


Hope you enjoy this post and may the lucky follow you!!!!


Nikon 1 J2

on Thursday, February 7, 2013
Hi there!
Normally I snapped my photos with my phone/itouch's camera cause I don't own a good camera. So the quality of the images are not good, so normally i will spend more time on editing the colour of the images than writing on the post in order to "enhance" my pictures
But recently I found a new camera by Nikon. It is Nikon 1 J2
 So what is special about this camera?
It has a function called creative mode, basically you select your desired effect from 8 optioned offered.
One of the effects is called selective colour
This effect will allow you to select certain colour and other become black and white, for example :
from this

to this

Seems interesting right?
Can you imagine this picture is also using the"selective colour" effect?
it will be more cool and fashionable right??



Another interesting featured is called advanced hybrid AF system.
I don't know other people but I have biggest problem when snap a picture is that the picture is different from what I expected. And this is caused by when I snap the pictures, I will move or blink my eyes or i can't maintain the expression that I want.
But with this function, the camera will track the moving subject with the high speed auto-focus  so that you won't miss any memorable moment and you can snap it into a photo!





Everyone can snap a hi-fashion photo with this camera !!
