Mani Mani Hoom

Hi everyone~~

This is another heavily requested posting and YES, I keep my promise.


Here is the simple guide for my new love - Princess Mani (I couldn't think of any name, Chean helps me to come up with this appropriately cheesy title).

As I discussed earlier (Click HERE if you have no idea what I'm talking about), getting a good artificial nails that suit you is the most important step. I'm using Kiss nails.

Step 1 - Pick or Create a Design
I usually surf online and browse through fashion magazine before working on my nails. Alright, I have picked mine ^^

Step 2 - Unfold The Process
Try to emphasize the steps, what color should go first? What tools you need? How to decorate? And so on. It will be extremely frustrated if you stuck in the middle of doing it. So, plan first.

Step 3 - Determine Base Color
You can either go with light color or dark one. Both will work fine because we need to contrast them with accessories anyway.


Choose a color and apply two layers. I am using SkinFood Nail Vita (PE808p) as base. Skin Food nail liquor is my favorite! It is super long-lasting and super affordable. Great value for the money!

Wait till they dry...

Then, do the masking by using selefon tape.



It's easy, let me show you closer.


See, make a "curve" masking on all nails.

You can use the same technique to do French Mani too. ^^

Then, choose a different color and apply two layers on the masking side.



I'm using The Face Shop Nail Color (PK 103).

Wait till they dry... (Be patient!)

Then, we can start decorating~~


These are the basic tools you need for this particular nail design. (From right to left) Tweezerz, nail glue, stick, and accessories.

Step 4 - Let's The Deco Begins
Ok, you have to be very very patient. The decorating process is usually very time-consuming. As for my case, the whole process take about 3 hours. If you are a newbie, choose an easier design; this might mitigate your frustration :p

Don't do the manicure on your laundry day or household chores day. Your effort will down to drain. Pick a special day to pamper yourself without chores, rush and hassle.

Alright, guess we have waited long enough!

Step 5 - Fill Your Day With Satisfaction
Once you have done your mani, I am 100% sure that you can't keep your eyes off them. They are just too cute to look at!!! It seems like they glaze everything you touch ;)



Step 6 - Reward yourself
Call your friends or your dearest, hang out with them and show your nails!

You deserved praise for all your hard work!! Mazel Tov~~



Ready to have a candle light dinner with Chean.


See y'all again!!!


P/S: Sorry if you find my self-portraits disturbing. Chean gave me some Photoshop tutorial and I need to practice. Just bare with me, I'll do a better job next time.

P/P/S: Oh, Lord! I left out the topcoat process!!! Don't forget to apply topcoat after decorating.

How to apply artificial nails on natural nails?
A nail glue should come together with your artificial nail set. Apply a layer of nail glue onto natural nail; then, slowly lower artificial nail onto natural nail by using cuticle as a pivot point. Hold firm until set. And you are SET ^^
