Now that I have explained my absence, I think I should really start scheduling posts cause I have mani's that I haven't even posted yet. That way, when I am feeling lazy, you will all still have something to read/look at.
I have some simple military jacket inspired nails to show you tonight. I love military styled jackets and especially love the loop chain detail that symbolises the military look, so I've carried the design out on my nails using gold studs and some gold chain. I had some trouble with positioning, but it got better on my other hand.
I really liked them, they're pretty cool, but they did hurt if I scraped the chain against my skin. Tough stuff!
Also, I wanted to make some clarifications on the nail art competition that I'm holding. I will make a list here of what the requirements and details are:
- Open Internationally
- Closes on the 24th May 2012
- Theme: What's Cookin'
- Stamps, decals etc will be allowed, but I encourage hand painting
- Judged on originality & creativity
- ALL entries emailed to my email address: Linda.Khuu@live.com.au
- With your entry please leave your name!
- Winner receives a set of hand painted nails from me of their choice and a goody bag
I currently have 4 entries! Keep them coming!! If you have any questions, ask me anywhere whether it's email, Facebook or in the comment section. Look forward to seeing your entries!

Ohhh amazing! I love it! Where do you buy those chains?
ReplyDeleteI've seen on a previous comment that it's jewellery chain... But I'm not familiar with where to get it :p
DeleteI bought them in bargain stores. I'm from Aus, so if you're from a different country, i'm not sure where you can get it. Your next best option is to try online! Hope that helps!
DeleteThanks! I've been looking in eBay without luck, but I'm going to try harder ;) BTW I'm from Spain :)
DeleteOh okay, perhaps I should add some chains into the goody bag for the competition i'm holding :)
DeleteWell... I finally ordered a weird necklace with a lot of chains hanging for a couple of euros, thought I'd cut it directly. I'll let you know if it was a good move or not :p
DeleteSoooo cute!!! LOve them :D

Great look, I love it!
ReplyDeleteStunning! :D
ReplyDeleteThey look great! How long did they last on? I want to try something similar so just curious.
ReplyDeleteI didn't wear them long enough to test their wearability! I applied them in the same way my tutorial shows and I wore this mani for about 5 days and no sigh of falling off or anything, so i'm sure it could go for longer. The chains were pretty sturdy for me, depends how you apply topcoat - just make sure you get all nooks and crannies and it will hold pretty well.
Deletethis looks fantastic! I'm loving all the 3D stuff that you have been doing!
ReplyDeleteI love this look! So cool!
ReplyDeleteStunning as always!
ReplyDeleteWhat green is this? It's soooo pretty.
ReplyDeleteBYS Army Chic :)
DeleteLoved it! I'm from Brazil and I always check your blog...
ReplyDeleteI'll try to send pics of my nail art for this competition.. I's gonna be fun! =D
So I sent my entry, hope you'll like it:D How long does this chain stay on your nails without falling off?
ReplyDeleteBtw. I freakin' love "Cake Boss"! Wish I could do such cakes.....!
It really depends on what your daily activities are like! I used seche vite and it held on pretty well for a few days before i removed it, but i'm sure it would've lasted longer!
