[DIY Sharing] Nail Art Design~Summer Fun x Etude House Sweet Recipe Ice Cream Nail Polish

Summer is really the time to get colourful!!

Lately I have been having so much fun with my fingers... XP (I mean nails..don't get the wrong idea.)
As some of you probably know by now.. that I'm more of a DIY hands on person. So therefore, I don't really or hardly in fact visit nails salon. So today will be another DIY sharing session. =P

And what's better to welcome Summer but having sweet and colourful nails? ;) Ever since Etude House launched their Sweet Recipe collection, I was so excited by it! Especially the nail polishes. Not only are they new colours but also new bottle packaging. In the Shape of a ice cream cone!
(Makes you really feel like licking it especially when it's hot weather! XD)

The colours are all sweet macaroons colours. Launched in many different colours, there were 4 special colours with glitter and the rest are plain colours.

However, I only managed to get 3 of the glitter colours. The other nude glitter was not available in
Singapore. =(

So let's get started. =)

Style 1: Glamorous Summer
Things To Prepared:

Etude House Sweet Recipe Ice Cream Nail Polishes.

Clear Base & Top Coat. For top coat, I've chosen Gel topcoat by Dior to gives a gelish effect and
Finishes.

Nail ornaments décor. For this style I've chosen the crystal nail stickers.

Step 1:

Paint on clear base coat.

Step 2:

Paint on different colours for all fingers.

Step 3:
Just simply remove the nail stickers from the plastic foil and pasted them on wherever and how you
Want it to be! It's just that easy! =D

Voila! Done! ^^

Great for when attending parties and wedding. Real quick and easy too! ;)

Style 2: Wild & Chic
Same things to prepared as above.

Step 1:

Paint on clear base coat.

Step 2:

Paint on a selected base colour of your choice. Apply 2 coats, letting it dry in between the 2 layers.
Place random dots of another nail polish colour on top.

Step 3:

Using black colour, ( You may also chose other colours of your own choice, depending on preference
And the overall effect you want it to be.) With a nail art brush/dotting tool/ A toothpick, paint the
Black colour around the dots.

And there you go! A leopard print effect is created! =D Don't forget to apply the topcoat once it's dry.

You can do the same thing with the other fingers using different colours combination or paint the rest
Of your fingers in random different colours (Depends on how you want the effect to be.)

Polka dots for my pinkie. Can simply just use a dotting tool or toothpick and dot randomly onto your
Nail. =)

The completed look on both hands. =)

I had fun trying out on my feet too! ^^

Hope you all enjoy today little & simple tutorial!
Have a lovely summer weekend!

[Product Review] Summer Afternoon Teatime~ Etude House Sweet Recipe Collection

    Time to enjoy a lovely summer afternoon teatime with Etude House!

 

    It's summer time in a blink of an eye and my favourite Korean brand Etude House has

    Yet again launched another makeup collection! ^_^

   

    Endorsed by none other than popular K-Pop boyband Shinee!

 

    Ever since they launched the Etoinette collection for springtime earlier this year, I had been

    Anxiously waiting for their summer collection. And this time round they have not failed to

    Disappoint me with their cute and sweet packaging and lovely bright colors.

   

 

    

 

    Inspired by summer season and sweet teatime desserts like cupcakes, chocolates and cream 

    Mousse, The entire collection consist of

 

   1) Choux makeup base with cream mousse texture

   2) 2 color glitter sheer duo eyeshadow

   3) Jelly Lipstick

   4) Chocolate Highlighter and eyeshadow

   5) Ice cream nail polish

   6) All over cream color (Can use for blush and lips)

   7) Candy Cane lipcolor ( Can be use as a moisturising lipbalm)

  

   Again, initially I wanted to buy the entire collection. XD but then it was a little disappointing this

   Time round as they did not bring in the entire series collection. Items like the chocolate eyeshadow,

   Cookie pact for face and a few nail polish colors were not available in Singapore. =(

   But still I managed to get my hands on a few of the items. =P

   

    Ice cream Nail Polish.

   

    These colors are all so lovely! ^_^ don't they just remind you of macarons??? Lately I've been

    Having so much fun doing nail art with all these nails colors which I will launch in another article.

    However, i did not managed to get all the colors. Like the orange color were supposed to have a

    Glitter one but were not available in most Etude House counters. =( Despite that, I feel that these

    Are already good enough for me to play with. =P

 

    All Over Color. Available in 5 different shades. Can be used for blusher and lips. ^^ Isn't that

    Convienent? I only got this color as I felt that this shade suits my skintone better.

 

    Can just simply use fingers to apply as it's in a cream texture. =)

  

    Candy Stick. Feels like licking it just by looking at it! =P Reminds me of the candy cane we

    Always bought for Christmas.

   

    Photo Source: Google Search.

   Available in 3 different shades.

 

   The texture is just like a moisturising lipbalm with a slight tint of color. Very good when we just

   Want to moisturise our lips but with some color on. =)

 

    Baby Choux Makeup Base. The texture is just like a mousse texture that you practically feel like

    Licking it! XD Helps foundation to stay on better and longer and creates a smooth matte finish. ^^

 
     Jelly Lipstick. Comes in a few variety of colors but I only got these 2 shades as I was looking for
     A red lipcolor but the pink look so lovely too.. ^^ so eventually I got it as well. =P Gives a smooth
     And moisturizing finish.

  

 

      The cute and sweet packaging. A signature of Etude House products.

   

 

       Cupcakes Eyeshadow. Aren't the container cute?? ^^ Got these 2 colors as I was looking for

       Something different other than brown or smokey colors. 

    Simply love the combination of these 2 colors. And the glitter are very obvious and pretty when

    Applied on.

    I was so inspired and in love with the colors that I used the eyeshadow and nail polish in one
   Of my recent photoshoot. And here's the lovely result. ^^
