Last Day of September...

It is an unusual post in the mid-week but I wanted to post a few more nail designs I did this summer. The last day of September is the good time for it because October sounds so Fall season...

For this look, I first painted my nails with China Glaze History of the World (navy). I used Messy Mansion Leadlight Lacquer plate A03. 

For this look, I first painted my nails with Essie Suite Retreat (blue) and Essie Navigate Her (pale green). I used a design from Bundle Monster plate BM-017 for stamping. 

For this look, I first painted my nails with China Glaze History of the World (navy) and OPI That's Hula-rious! (pale green). For stamping, I used Bundle Monster BM-711, using History of the World as stamping polish. For thumb, I used Nubar Spotlight (yellow) to color in the pineapple design. I added little red dots in the end but maybe that was a bit too much. I wish I have taken some pictures before I added the dots...

So here you have them! My last bits of summer nails!

Love,

Blue and Brown!

Before summer ends, I am rushing to post a few summer looks! 

When I first painted my nails with these two colors (blue and brown), my beloved daughter said, "Mmm... I don't know if I like those colors together..." But I had a vision! By using direct decal method, I added white into the color mix and all of the sudden, it looked wonderful!

For this look, I first painted my nails with Essie Suite Retreat (blue) and Essie Cocoa Karma (light brown). I used direct decal method to stamp the design from Bundle Monster plate BM-402. I used Essie Suite Retreat, Cocoa Karma, and Sally Hansen Ivory Skull to fill in the design before stamping. 

The middle finger of my left hand was the result of an accidental design. When I stamped the decal, the lower half didn't transfer well. I carefully removed the not-so-perfect lower half and I actually liked the end result very much! 

I really liked this design and got quite a few compliments!

I will try to stick in another post on summer nails next week before the season changes!

Love,

Summer Is Ending?!

Oh no! Is summer almost over?? I refuse to think that! I don't know about you but I feel like we didn't really get decent summer this year. I was waiting for nice hot summer days. I planted seeds and small vegetable plants and I was waiting for them to get big during summer growing season... Well, it didn't happen! My lettuce never grew into any harvestable size. My herb plants are like miniatures except my big bush of sage and oregano, which always pops up everywhere in my yard... I don't like summer to go yet but I started to see changing colors of leaves here and there!!! Well... I have quite a few summer nails I did in the last little while that I haven't blogged yet. I hope I can squeeze them in before winter... That's depressing...

This is one of the looks I did this summer. And I liked it a lot because it matched a lot of my outfits. (I guess I have a lot of blue clothes??) 

Here with one of my shorts!

And here with one of my skirts!

For this look, I first painted my nails with China Glaze History of the World (smoky navy). For the accent nails, I tried marbled effect by mixing China Glaze Boho Blues (light blue) and History of the World together and use a stamper to lightly dabbed on nails. I used a few designs from Bundle Monster plate BM-404 and Konad white for stamping. 

I really enjoyed this look for summer! 

I will post the remaining summer nails for the next few weeks and I really hope I can get a little more summer days this month...

Love,

Green Leaves

I wanted to do some light refreshing nail designs! I got my inspiration from a pair of shorts I bought this summer with tropical green leaf design.

I love this pale green color of Essie Absolutely Shore! Such subtle lovely color!!

For this look, I first painted my nails with Essie Absolutely Shore (pale green). I stamped a design from MoYou London Explorer Collection 23, using Essie Vested Interest as stamping polish. 

Isn't it refreshing looking??

Sometimes, less is more. This tone on tone look is exactly what I was aiming for. Simple things are good!

Do you enjoy simple designs sometime?

Love,

Little Dot 

Green and Blue!

My beloved daughter did my nails the other day! Actually, she had this design on her nails and I liked it so much that I asked her to do mine the same!

When I saw it, I thought of fairies in forest. Somehow, very magical looking! 

For this look, she painted my nails with Essie Where's My Chauffeur (greenish blue) and Essie Navigate Her (light green). She used Messy Mansion Leadlight Lacquer plate A01 for stamping and used China Glaze History of the World as stamping polish. 

Here is my right hand... Sorry about the band aide on my pinky... I had an ouchy paper cut...

I very much enjoyed this magical fairy look! Do you like green and blue combination?

Love,

Little Dot
