Nonetheless, we braved ourselves and eventually put on the two colours, ourselves. So, you will definitely have to excuse our clumsy outcome as we have tried our best! Perhaps it would be better to get it done professionally else where, but we wanted to put ourselves to the test. Don't they say practice makes perfect? Haha
Since we are a novice when it comes to applying nail polish, the flat and wide paddle brush makes application much easier than any other slimmer brush that we have used before, as our nails get painted faster, with just a few strokes. We had two coats on in these pictures. We used Nails Inc. Nailkale Superfood base coat (here for more) and finished off with 45 seconds top coat with Kensington Caviar (here for more).
To our surprise, the colour lasted about 4 days till it started to chip off as we do do quite some washing and what not, with our hands (ooops, the "auntie" side of us revealed!). Never mind, another shameless thing to admit. We shall share with you more on the other colour we have, that is Jungle Red soon. More on the nail colour above here. NARS nail polishes can be found at their boutique at Pavilion KL, retailing at RM65 (15ml).
Well, it looks like we definitely need more practice! Do you have any good tips or advice to help us make our colour last longer? Or application techniques that you would love to share? (S.O.S) Please do let us in on some secrets!
Till then, have a luminous and beautiful rest of the week, lovelies *_^
I'm not very skilled with doing my nails either so it's a good thing I favor nudes and neutrals with a bit of shimmer of sparkle. They are definitely more foolproof than dark colors and mistakes are barely noticeable.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend Jeann!
haha thanks Rowena for the tips, that was what I used to do, only keep to neutral and quite soft pastel colours as they are more forgiving *_^
ReplyDeleteHope you are having an awesome weekend yourself there!
