NOTD: Cherry candycanes %

Candy, candy, candycane!

Ask and you shall receive, my friends: more nails! Omg I'm like a factory :D Say hello to girly, pink nails that totally shout me! ♥

I've been wanting to do this manicure for like, 6 months! But because I can only do my nails every 3 months, I schedule all of it long in advance and I've only just found time for this now. Another Konad-less one :)

Elianto Nail Color - #33 Peach, SilkyGirl Ever Glossy - Snow White, Elianto Nail Color - #40 Twilight Zone and The Face Shop Nail Color - PK105.

Most of the photos were taken in the car during our Penang-KL drive, using my digicam's High Sensitivity setting (which makes it impossible to take blur photos no matter how much you shake!).

My sister's shades that I found in the glove box, which I don't think she really needs anymore... ;)

This was taken with my camera balanced on the dashboard and my hands pressed against the windscreen :P

For me, nail art started out as an experiment, something cool to try. Then it turned into a hobby, something fun to do. And then it became a passion, something I loved doing. And now it's firmly an addiction, something I can't live without.

You wouldn't believe the satisfaction and pleasure that doing my own nail art gives me. I will, one day, start my own nail blog. Without a shadow of doubt. Or I might just stop blogging about any other stuff here, cause I know most of you come just for the nails anyway! Pffft.

This is the original, done by Thriszha, which I fell in love with at first sight. I find it so fun how browsing nail blogs for me, is like shopping for nails cause most of the time, I'm capable of simply recreating whichever one I fancy.

Would you just look at the precision and control of ArtsyRN's strokes?? People like this make me realize that I have an immensely long way to go still in my manual nail art tutelage, but I will get there some day!!! Complacency (look that up in the dictionary if you must) is simply not an option.

You won't be seeing anymore NOTDs or KOTDs from me till September and trust me, I'm sadder than you are about this :( But oh well, every holiday that passes signifies one step closer to graduation, one step closer to me doing nails full-time!

I still dream of opening my own nail salon someday. That's how much I love doing this.
