Jin Jin's Adventures

I feel so refreshed after taking 2 weeks leave from work. It's back to work for me tomorrow. Hope it doesn't get too busy these couple of weeks. I think everyone is in holiday mode at this time of the year.

I wanted something cheerful and season appropriate. This is what happens when candy cane strips gets mixed up with a summer 3D acrylic flower design hehe.

The background is OPI's - Isn't It Romantic?

My broken middle finger nail is slowly growing out. I can only fit one flower on it :)

For the strips, I used Essie's- Watermelon

I was out shopping with my sister and her boyfriend and he helped me pick out this neutral colour nail polish called 'Tickle y France-y'. I noticed that the title is a bit of an oxymoron, because if you were to wear a neutral colour, you would want to keep it natural. The problem for me is that I don't usually wear skin tone nail polish and wearing it just by itself seems a little bit too bare for me hehe :)

This is how my neutral nail polish end up looking after adding a few black and silver stripes, sliver glitter and 3D acrylic flowers.

My colleague have been flying over to Melbourne the past 3 years to attend the annual Melbourne Cup event. For people who don't know what it is, it's an annual horse racing event held at the Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne. I know many people turn up dressed in their best. Women attend this event in beautiful dresses, elegant hats or fascinators. The best dressed man and woman stand a chance to win substantial prizes! What I didn't know was that other than the actual Melbourne Cup day, there are lots of other events during the race week. Like Derby Day where it's traditional to wear only black and white (It reminds me of Audrey Hepburn in 'My fair Lady').

For such a special event, I created a set of nails for my friend to match both her black and white dress on Derby Day and the pink dress on Melbourne Cup day.
