I said I would wear it :)

After a long vacation with short nails no enhancements, I finally came back and did a set (2 designs on each hand) for myself for 2008. Just a note tho, gel nails are big in Israel and I see many girls wearing gel enhancements. It's really an eye opener. They wear it plain in pink and white patterns. My left hand design is inspired by the pink and white glass rose look and the left hand is inspired by sea shells texture and iridiscent colors. The shape is a combi of stilleto and oval nails.

Cute Stuff by Japanese Nailist

Everything in Japan is cute!

Russian Stilletos

Stilletos also known as "Russian style" nails are really the in-thing right now. I do find the shape fascinating and makes the fingers look slender and long. Definitely something I will wear after my trip when I'm not packing/unpacking or dragging my luggages around.

Check out the shine !

Japan is well known for their expertise in the Pink & White sculptured acrylic competition style nails. Check out the nails and the shine !

Same Birthday

Sheila and I celebrated our birthday with 6 other wonderful friends from Singapore driving up to Mount Fuji, Japan followed by a delightful soak in the hot springs in a beautiful autumn/winter weather.

Nfu.Oh Opal Luxury Enamel is COOL !

Check this out ! Model's nail is 100% natural and painted with Nfu.Oh nail enamel from the opal range. The effects of the opal range painted on top of black color polish (also from Nfu.Oh) is absolutely fabulous. It doesn't stain or yellow the natural nails and the color is lasting. Did these nails for a photoshoot on Celicase "Look Book". Can't wait for the actual professionally done photos to be ready :)

A Leafy Subject

I did this for a class recently. No filing required and it's done in Nfu.Oh acrylic powder and acrylic paint medium. I love the effects of the strong color pigments and also the dew drops created in clear acrylic powder and sealed with gel glue for shine.
