I have received quite a number of fun beauty products lately and hence, you will be seeing a number of beauty posts during the end of this month as well as the beginning of next month. For those who thought I am a food blogger, it's time to change your thoughts ;)
Anyway, I am not a beauty blogger so don't you expect beauty posts all the time.
I am still that lovely lifestyle blogger you knew from the very day one :P

Some of you might have already done Gradation Nail but some of you might not even heard about it.
There was once I saw my this turquoise color Gradation on my friend's nails and I was really really tempted to get those cool paintings on mine! But because of the reason that I have to prepare my hands for commercial shoot from time to time, I am reluctant to spend any cash on painting my fingernails.
So, this fine day God has decided to send me this.

I know this is not a very beautiful sight.
Sorry eh I haven't been applying anything to nourish my feet since when I started working. I was so so tired each day after work that the only thing I wanted to do after getting out from a warm shower is to hit the bed.

I can finally do it at the comfort of home :')
The cutest thing about this product is the number labeled on top of each bottle.
Step 1 : Prepare a base for the entire creation.
I always do double-coating when I paint my nails so that the colors would appear to be more vibrant and solid.
Remember to let the previously painted coat dries off before you apply the next- You don't want them to mess up like a pile of glue on your nails!
The logic behind this is, nail polish can melt nail polish.
So, if you apply a layer of nail polish on a layer of semi-dry nail polish, they will turn glue-ish. Likewise, do not take too long to apply the second layer. Get things done before the previous coat melts!
I am a fan of shimmer nail polish especially those with very fine and condensed shimmer powder.
They make your nails shine subtly under the light.
If you have tiny nails, shimmery nail polish added can enhance the shape of your nails.
Step 2 : Paint the top half of your nails with bottle #2.
See the gradating effect?
Step 3: Gently paint-dab the nail polish in bottle 3 on the tip of your nails.
Remember to allow the first layer to dry completely before you apply the next.
The unruly glitter pieces in the nail polish can give you headache if you are using painting method.
My advice is to use a half dabbing and half painting method.
Without and with Glitter Nail Polish on nail tips.
Tidy the tip of your nails by gently pushing the protruding glitter pieces with your finger in.
And you are done :)
Find them in The Face Shop.
