Chinese New Year Nails

Hi everyone! So sorry I've been MIA, I got back from my trip to Melbourne a couple days ago and came back to Chinese New Years Eve and New Years today, hence the lack of time to make a post - I had a guest post but totally forgot to post it while I was away =/

I did do 2 mani's during my trip, but I only got a pic of one of them which I will have in a separate post. For now, I will show you what I wore for Chinese New Year! I was inspired by a Chinese design on a Ferrero Rocher Box that I bought. It featured gold backing and a red outline dragon, though I made mine reverse. Red and gold are the traditional Chinese colours (red is goodluck), so I stuck to those. Here are the pics:

Pretty cool huh? I really like how this turned out, even though I had to rush it otherwise I'd be late for my bf's New Year dinner at his grandma's. I actually didn't get to finish the gold accent and had to finish that off when I got home.

Soon I will have a tutorial for the highly requested dry smoky water marble! Excited :) Do you think I should do it on my natural nails or false nails? Let me know below!

For all those that celebrate Chinese New Year, wishing you health, happiness and prosperity!
