X'mas Glitter Gradient Nail

Happy Sunday! 

Today is about X'mas Glitter Gradient Nail tutorial that I mentioned earlier ago..

Previously I have done some trials on myself, wah, damn ugly! Shown in the last picture in this post! XD

Since this is a X'mas nail design so I assumed I should post it before X'mas! Lol..

The material which is needed to create this glitter nail is selling everywhere in market, if you don't like the colour that I mixed perhaps you can design the colour according to your preference. :-)

I didn't shop intentionally to buy new nail polish to do this post, I am just using the existing one.

Tips: Best to use colours that work naturally as a gradient.

Material needed: 

1. Paper. It is to make sure the colour won't stain on your table. 

2. Kitchen sponge. Those kitchen sponge that you used to wash your dishes. 

3. Scissor. Used it to cut the sponge into smaller pieces.

4. Plastic. A small one will do. I cut it from those unused plastic or the book wrapping plastic.

5. Clear Base Coat.

6. Clear Top Coat.

7. First layer is colour which is very near to nude pink colour.

8. Second layer is similar to orange colour.

9. Third layer I should said a darker pinkish colour. 

10. Bling. The sparkle overcoat. 

We need more nail polish to create the gradient texture. :-)

I am using all nail polish from Sasa that I have bought for some time, later I will tell you why I choose Sasatinnie instead of other brand. 

p/s I can't tell you exactly what number or code because it is not stated in the bottle. Anyway I bought it from Sasa outlet. :-)

Time to start it. 

Firstly, I am going to apply clear base coat to keep the colour coat from staining my nails. Then apply this Sasatinnie nail polish as the very first layer. As I said it is very near to nude pink colour. :-) Very cute and small bottle. 

I am going to stamp the second layer nail polish using the kitchen sponge. Apply some colour on the plastic then use the sponge to dip it. The reason I am using plastic instead of paper is because paper could easily absorb the colour. Obviously you have to cut the sponge into smaller pieces where you can hold it easily.

Bare in mind before you apply the next layer, you must make sure the colour is dry if not it will smear then you can hardly create the gradient already. Don't paint too much cz the colour will be very dark. 

This colour is similar to very light orange, with some glittering on it. 

Third layer would be the same procedure. Paint it gently with sponge. To me, I think the lighter the colour, the nicer it is. If it is too dark, then it turns red without creating the gradient texture already. 

Tadaa! It looked like this! I still think the colour is too dark..so you can see there are three colours! :-)

But without glittering, it don't looks good! 

Spot the difference now?! It looks so much nicer after I applied the sparkle coat! By the way, you apply 2/3 of your nail instead of the whole nail.  

So usually sparkle coat is used for design purposes instead of applying on the whole nail. ><

After it dried, apply a clear top coat and is all done! Easy? Is not tough right? Hehe..

So you have your DIY X'mas Glitter Gradient Nail now! If you have blue colour, you can try it though! ^^

You may doubt if you apply such a thick layer is very hard for it to dry, indeed it is but what I like about Sasatinnie nail polish is when you apply the first layer it is very thin and the colour is so light so it can dried easily. Seriously..if it is compared to The Face Shop or Etude House nail polish. 

So usually if I apply ordinary nail polish in the same colour with Sasatinnie nail polish, I will apply three layers and it really stays around one to two weeks before it chipped and it is easily manageable for beginners. 

By the way if you are using Face Shop or Etude House nail polish to paint it, I am afraid you need to apply the first layer as transparent then the second and third layer you must apply really gently cz the nail polish from both of these brands are actually very heavy. 

The added bonus is its made in France. I don't know whether is real or not but this is according to the label la! :p And it is very cheap! Promotion price would be 3 for RM10!! Normal price RM3.90 each! 

Cheap or not!! Haha...and this Sasatinnie nail polish can stay so much longer than the ordinary one!

Good luck to all pretties! ^^
Merry Christmas!

See la...the trial one..ugly or not! Lol...I have tried a few times and finally succeed on the ring finger so I decided to show you this...:-)

Pampered your hair with Panasonic Nanocare EH-NA30 Hairdryer

First of all, Happy Deepavali to all my friends and Malaysia, Happy Holiday to you too! Enjoying huh? :)

Finally the long awaiting Panasonic Nanoe Hairdryer post is UP! I am so excited..lolol..my first attempt on doing a video tutorial.

I bought this Panasonic Nanocare Hairdryer a month ago, but I have no time to do the review, so leave it till the holiday! Lol..Pink color hairdryer is my choice! *Anyway pink is not my favourite color though..lol* Cz they have two choices only so I rather go for pink instead of the ordinary white.

They have white and pink colour only so I chose pink for myself. They provide two types of nozzles, as shown in the picture below is the healthy quick drying nozzle, photo above is the styling nozzle. I usually use the styling one. :) Easier for blowing hair with round brush. 

Two types of airflow to choose from: 

2: Dry (Strong airflow)

1: Set (Gentle airflow)

0: Off

Temperature selector:

Top: Hot (Hot air)

Middle: Healthy (Warm air)

Bottom: Cool (Cool air)

The speciality of this hair dryer is the nanocare function and this is also the reason why I bought this hairdryer! Lol..fall in love when the first time I've seen it. I will explain to you how this nanocare works!

What is nanoe?

Nanoe is charged fine water particles, generated by applying high voltage in order to split water. Its diameter is smaller than 1/100 of steam, and it cannot be seen with the naked eye. It draws moisture from the air to produce nano-sized moisture icons that will infiltrate hair better. 

That is why they said it can moisturised your hair and prevent breakage by using this!

How nanoe works?

Generally hair has properties which make it easy to become positively charged with electricity. These properties attract strongly negatively charged nanoe which penetrates the hair with moisture. Furthermore, they make the hair slightly acidic, tighten cuticles and keep your hair strong, elastic and healthy. It also help reduce static electricity on hair. No more tangled hair already! 

It also reduces excess sebum on our hair scalp.

What is hair sebum? *Google time*

It is a coating of natural oil that protects the hair and makes it shinier. Sebum is odorless, but its bacterial breakdown can produce odors. Sebum is the cause of some people experiencing "oily" hair.

It can be folded as well, so not to worry about the bulky size of your hairdryer! Bring it along when you go travel la..Attentive huh the designer! Haha..

My first attempt on video tutorial.

Ugly me without eye brow and naked face to show people. ><

I felt that the video is not really clear and advisable to watch it in 480p.

Faced so many problems when editing and uploading this video, bare with me for the first try ya! Lol..

                             

Thanks for finish it! Lol..how was it?

Here are some of the clearer shots to show you my hair condition. :)

See, my glossy and healthy hair. Not much flyaway hairs anymore! Hehe..You will realized there are less tangled hair so your hair will not break off easily when your are blowing them. 

*this picture is ruined by my faded hair color* ><

Smooth or not on the left side of my hair. Lolol....the result is so obvious..like just came back from saloon. LOL!

One more thing to take note in this picture, I did not apply any hair cream or oil before I blow my hair, so if I apply them, the result will be even better. I want to show you the true result that is why I didn't apply anything here. :)

The most important thing is how much is this hairdryer! Lol..retailing at RM239.90. I personally think that it is worthy cz it is for our own sake to achieve the better and healthy hair scalp. You can't achieve them from the normal hairdryer and those hairdryer will damaged your hair causing split-ends! This hairdryer not only moisturized your hair and it also protects your hair cuticles!

So good..faster go buy one and share it among your family members! Haha..and hairdryer can use it for a very long period so is still worth it! :)

I knew that Sharp is also introducing similar products with Plasmacluster Ion Technology, but it is selling at RM599! To me, this is TOO expensive la...:-( So I go for this!

Visit Panasonic Beauty of Empowerment for more beauty products. Very tempting right..haha! I also can't resist on their pore cleaner, anyone want to sponsor me? Lol!

I hope you enjoy reading this post. Putting so much effort on doing it..since is my first trial! I hope you like it and pampered yourself with better products ba! :)
