we went crazy!! Jumping up and down and crying and screaming...!!!

It was fabulous...（≧∀≦）ｖ

Thank you Geelong CATS!!

I'm very happy lately

because

the weather here is getting better and better!!

It started getting warmer and I can see

some blue sky more often(^0^)yay!!

I went to the park with my boyfriend on Sunday

and practiced kicking a football(^^)v

 

I'm not a very good kicker as you can see(^-^;

Tettede~!!

Don't worry! It doesn't mean anything(^-^)v

How are you~??
It's Thursday!! Weekend is coming(^0^)/
Yay!!



I'd like to show you my water marbling photo
that I did the other day!!



Do you like??



I like water marbling designs a lot(^-^)q

I think I like anything which has lots of colour and
doesn't really have clear shapes or definitions for each colour...??
...like planets, aurora, rainbows, and opals.

I like those obscure things and colours
 such as very very light pink
 since I was small(^-^;

he he he...


Anyway,
I rarely go out for lunch,
but I enjoyed having a hamburger
during my trip!!

Naughty~~ ha ha ha!!

Sweets Nail （＾∀＾）／・*◎つд｀；）

Hello~!!
...I'm still alive~(^∀^;/

I'm so sorry for not posting for such a long time!!
Especially for people who gave me really nice comments
and waited for my response... m(u_u)m


I was surrounded by 3 different viruses,
and they attacked Charming, my little bird,
the computer and my boyfriend!!

Both my boyfriend and Charming had a not so good tummy...
and I needed to look after them.
( I was wondering if they ate the same thing or not!! ha ha)

And the computer went crazy...!!
Luckily my boyfriend called someone and its fixed now,
thanks to smart people really...


Anyway!!
I have to stop being such a blabber.


 I have a little quiz for you today!!
...well the answer is already in the title but(^-^;


WHAT AM I MAKING???

 


I'm using acrylics...


 



This tiny little dot goes onto.....



...there!!



...ha ha ha!!
It's too easy, isn't it??


Yes!! They are handmade acrylic sweets!!

I hope you enjoyed my super easy quiz!!



These are parts for the design that I'm working on
at the moment!!

-I'll show you as soon as they're ready(^o^)/



I'm sorry again for being away for a long time!!
I hope you are all healthy and safe
from any kinds of viruses(^-^)v

This colourful pretty bird was resting in front of my house(^-^)
I love their colours and the whistles!!


Thank you~!!(^3^)/smooch!!

How are you~??
I'm doing super good!!


I think mainly ladies check my blog(thank you~!!),
but how many of you are interested in sports??

Do you like playing any sports? or
do you like watching people playing??


My boyfriend and I really love watching
AFL-Australian Football League(^ω^)v

There are 16 teams and most of them have
 animals for their nicknames!! How cute!!

My favourite team is called the CATS, Geelong Football Club!!
And we went to see one of their games
last weekend!!


yaaaaa(°∀°)aaaay!!



Of course I did my nails for that!!
↓

Hand painted after air brushed on dark blue nail polish,
decorated with silver bullions and gem stones.
It's the CATS logo on the thumb(^ω^)v


They look like this on the nails...

he he he he....



This is AAMI Stadium....

Wow...a lot of people...(°O°)!!


Players try to kick the ball in between
 these high posts...looks difficult.


My uniform and nails(^ω^)
 


It's so funny because
I had never been interested in ANY sports before,
I was a typical lolita girl
who loves peace, pink, frills, twinkles and sparkles!!

...But
after watching some games with my boyfriend,
w(°O°)w
I found
THAT IT IS VEEEERYYYY INTERESTING!!!


Do you have any experience like this??
Something that you're not interested in before but
changed your mind to the totally opposite direction...


HA　HA　HA～！！

Spring Toe Nails2 (´∀｀;＊。・○〇°

Hello~!!

I forgot to write about my spring toe nail design
 on the other foot!!　Sorry!!



I did Mr. Bee on my right big toe,
and I did Mrs. Butterfly on my left big toe(^-^)v





I'll show you step by step procedure for the butterfly.
(please click to see how I did flowers.)



1.  Pick a small ball of pink mixture
and place it where you want the top right wing to be.



2. Press the mixture with the brush to make it flat,
and push it from both sides.



3. Repeat step 1 and step 2 to create
the top left wing.



4. Pick a tiny ball of mixture
to make the bottom right wing.



5. Repeat step 4 on the other side...



6. Let's add a colour to the top wings!



7. Pick a small ball of mixture and place it
in between the wings.



8. Drag the mixture downwards
and push it from both sides to make it long and skinny.



9. Apply a small ball of white mixture
on top of the body and make it flat.



And draw the face like I showed
in the previous blog.


Here is Mrs. Butterfly!!

Very happy flying around the flowers(^-^)


Thank you very much for your visit

I'll be more careful...ｍ(u_u)m

☆-----------------------------------☆

I did my pedicure today!
Which is designed for Spring...

I was thinking of this lovely season coming to
most of the world!!!(not here but(^-^;)


I hope you'll like it!

Small flowers are blooming and a little bee is visiting!



Here is the steps!

1. Pick a small amount of pink acrylic powder
and place onto the big toe.



2. Shape it to make a petal.



3. Repeat step 1 and 2 four times.



4. Pick a small amount of white acrylic powder
and place it in the middle of petals.



Here is a pretty flower!!


 Please add some more flowers if you like!
Using different colour powder for additional flowers
will be very cute!!


Then...


5. Pick a ball of white acrylic powder
and make it flat with the brush.



6. Add another ball of mixture
with light yellow acrylic powder.



7. Add 2 petals on top of the object
using light blue powder.




8. Draw the face and design on the bum
with acrylic paint.

A little bee is completed!!!!


It's very tiny and you can hardly see them
from a distance,
but they'll make YOU happy and smile(^o^)/


Please try if you like it!!


Thank you very much!!!


(^3^)/smooch!!

♪How to Draw a Flower 3 (on Nail)♪

Hello hello~!!

How to do hand painted nail art No.3!!
I'm sorry for taking so long to finish this topic(u_u)


Well,
I'm going to show you
how to draw cherry blossom flowers on the nail today!


What you can use is...
acrylic paint, either liquid type or paste type,
you can buy them from art stores(^-^)v


If you're using the paste type paint,
you need to mix with water carefully to make
 a perfect consistency.


This is a white acrylic paste
which is just squeezed from the tube.
↓



Dip the paint brush into the water and
bring a small amount of water onto the paint.



At this point,
the water is not enough and paint looks bumpy.



So, add another small amount of water
and mix well.

If you can leave brush marks on the paint,
the paint still need some more water.


Add a tiny little bit of water again and mix well.




Can you remember how to draw a cherry blossom
from my previous blog??

and
Draw the outline first and fill inside...(^-^)


Let's try drawing onto the nail with this consistency...

Can you see streaks on the design??
It means the paint needs a little bit more water.


BUT,
if you add too much water,
the design will look like this...

...like a leaf which is eaten by a little bug,
creates holes everywhere
and the paint seems to be following the brush!


If this happens, you can either mix the paint well again
or add some more paint(^-^;


Then you can draw flowers like this☆



As you do hand painted nail art lots of times,
you'll definitely get used of it!!

Just keep drawing what you'll like to draw
and have fun!!



Thank you very much for reading!!

☆New Designs at Nails Etoile☆

Hello~(^o^)/
Looong time no see~ m(u.u)m I'm sorry!!


I hope you had a wonderful St.Valentine's day
on 14th of February(^3^)/

Did you do anything special??

I've heard that boys give girls lingerie for
a Valentine's day in western countries.
How interesting!!


In Japan, it's common for girls to give boys chocolates.
There are two types of chocolate...

One is for general boys.
For example, class mates, colleagues and family.
Girls tend to buy "good value for money" chocolates for these boys.

The other one is for a boy who is special
like a boyfriend, husband or
someone you want to become your boyfriend.
Girls normally cook something using chocolate
and give it to the special boy.

It's a really good chance for a girl to show a boy that
she is in love with him(^-^)♪


Oops!! It became such a long story(^-^;



I just wanted to tell you that some
new designs have been added in Nails Etoile

 


I hope you'll like them p(^-^)q




This is a chocolate cake which I made
for my boyfriend(^o^)v

ha ha ha!!


Thank you for visiting!!
See you soon!!

I used to reply to your very nice comments on my blog for
the next day, but I am going to reply on the same comment column

Matching Pedicure(^-^)v

                                             Hello hello~!!

I hope you had a lovely weekend(^-^)

I did a new pedicure on Sunday!

It's pink with holograms!!

Just like my acrylic finger nails that I did before.

These are the steps for this pedi(^-^)

1. Finish all the cuticle treatment 

and shorten the toe nails.

What is cuticle treatment?? →Go to Home Pedicure instructions

2. Apply light white nail polish on 

the free edge to cover the natural colour of the toe nails.

I used FUNNY BUNNY NL H22 from OPI.

3. Apply pink shimmer nail polish on 

the entire toe nail.

I used PRINCESSES RULE! NL R44 from OPI.

4. Apply holograms to cover the entire toe nail.

Use top coat and an orange wood stick(^-^)v

Apply top coat and...

COMPLETED!!

*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆Twinkle twinkle~*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆

I love twinkles a lot (≧▽≦) he he he~

Have a great week!!

 

Dear Dori,

Thank you for your lovely comment again!!

Pink is my favourite colour too(^_-)☆haha!

Yep! I've got my boyfriend a few cufflinks for X'mas!!

Now I have to plan what to cook for X'mas dinner!!

Thank you so much for your encouraging comments!

I'm going to open an online nail tip store(^_-)☆

I'll let you know when it's getting close to open!!

I've stayed in Sydney only for 1 day!

I was by myself at the time but a really nice taxi driver

showed me around and I took some very nice photos(^-^)v

 I love watching plays, so I'll definitely go to the opera house next time!! 

Do you have plans for X'mas??

Are you going back to Hong Kong??

Thank you very much again~(^3^)/***smooch!!

Dear Milk,

Thank you very much for your comment!!

I'm so happy that my instructions could help you(´∀｀)v

How long did you stayed in Japan?? Did you enjoy?

I really would like you to try Japanese nails when you go back next time!!

Normally there are lots of design examples which will help you choosing, 

and nail artists are really nice people!

Good luck with your lovely doll designs(^_-)☆ 

Thank you so much~(^3^)/***smooch!!

 

☆☆~Nail Tip Production~☆☆

Hi there~(^o^)/

How are you~??

The weekend is waiting for you~♪

Hahaha~

I did my nails with acrylics yesterday(^-^)v

I used natural white powder on the free edge,

and pink glitter powder on the nail plate.

I'll call the combination...

*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆ PINK CHAMPAGNE!!*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆

...well, to be honest, i can't drink any alcohol...!!

I used to force myself to drink at a party or night club etc...

because I really envied people who can drink forever without getting sleepy or sick!

And I thought I would get stronger eventually (stupid, eh?).

But I realised there was no benefit by drinking something

my body can't deal with (￣▽￣;)he...hehe...he

Anyway!! sorry about my personal silly experience(^o^)/

I'm planning to open my nail tip store in the very near future!

I've been quite busy planning and I'm so sorry 

I couldn't update my blog so often because of that.

I also started designing nail tips for my store as well

I'm trying not make them too heavy....

but as you know, I love really heavily decorated colourful nails!!!!

There will be a lot of varieties available for sure...v(^-^)v

Wish me luck!!

Thank you very much!!

Dear Brooke,

Thank you so very much for your wonderful comment!!

I am very sorry that I couldn't reply to you quickly m(_ _)m

I'm so happy that you liked my reindeers(^-^)

And thank you very much for adding my blog as one of your links!!

I'd love to have your blog in my favourite list as soon as

I find out how to do it!!

(sorry, I'm not really good at finding new functions and stuff...)

I'm looking forward to checking your blog right now!!

Thank you so much again!!...(^3^)/***smooch!!

Airbrush Nail Art v(^-^)v～＊*

Long time no see~(^o^)/

I hope your weekend is going super good!!

I'm having a great weekend!!!!

Because my boyfriend gave me an early X'mas present \(^o^)/

It was...an Airbrush kit for nails!!

Yeahwhoooooooyyyy!!!!

*:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆ (ﾟ∀ﾟ) *:..｡o○☆ﾟ･:,｡*:..｡o○☆

I've used before but didn't have one for myself...

so it's really good!!!!

Anyway I played a little bit with the machine(^-^)v

1. Apply a thin coat of pearly nail polish

and spray yellow colour with airbrush.

2. Spray green on top of yellow.

3. Spray white using a flower stencil.

These are airbrush nail art(^o^)~♪

I hope you like this kind of nail design too!

Here is a photo of Charming.

He is scared of pizza rotating in the microwave.

(his headhair is straight up!!)

Good night~!

Dear Dori,

I'm so sorry for being so late to respond to you!

The purple shimmer nail polish is called 

YOKOHAMA TWILIGHT(NL Y47) from OPI.

Yes...it's quite hard to find real pretty colours.

I generally like using OPI because of the good brush(^-^)haha

I wish they had a greater range of colours though.

I like Nausicaa too!! I cry lots during the movie(^-^)

he he he...

Did you like your new hair style??

It's wonderful that the salon owner gave you a nail polish!!

I like the combination of yellow, green and blue too!

That's a really summery fresh colour!

The beach in Australia is amazing!! Can you believe that colour?! 

It's like a dream or heaven really...

Please enjoy yourself at the beach this summer too!!

Thank you very much...(^3^)/smooch***

Dear Jamie,

It's my preasure for showing some instructions!!

I hope you have success with the gradation nail art and

I look forward to seeing it on your nail blog (^-^)v

Thank you very much for your comment again

and I'm so sorry for very late reply...

Thank you~(^3^)/smooch***
