What I'll be showing you guys are two of the most perfect and easiest nail art design for summer! Strawberry and Watermelon nail art are both popular and pretty nail art design. Both are inspired by fruits and when I hear fruits, all I can think of is summer! haha These nail art designs can also go along together with your chosen summer fashion look. This is perfect for those who love the the touch of red and the aura of summer. These nails will have you people looking at your nails twice! Both are easy but of course you will need the right nail colors and tools. Most importantly, you need patience :) which always comes along in doing any form of artworks.

STRAWBERRY NAIL ART

1. Paint your nails red. Or if you want to, you may use any shades of color close to red. Something that will resemble the base color of a strawberry, like pink!
2. Now using a green nail polish, paint the strawberry leaves. I know it looks like it kinda hard to do but believe me, it's very easy. You just need a striper or a small brush to do it. If you don't have any brush or striper, check out is tutorial to make one: click here. I don't own any striper or brush too and that's the vid where I learned how to make mine.
3. Next, using a dotting tool or a toothpick, paint the strawberry seeds. You can use a yellow or a white nail polish for your strawberry seeds. Draw small seed-like dots, spacing them evenly for a more strawberry like look.
4. Finish off your strawberry nails by applying a colourless top coat. Make sure the colored nail polish were dry before doing so. In my case, I use a glittered colourless nail polish. It looks wondrous and I love it!  :)

• Paint all your nails red. Let it dry.

• Paint your fingertips with a dark green color. Use a striper in doing so. Again, let the dark green color dry.

• Add a horizontal  line of a lighter shade of green nail polish on top of the dark green polish.

• Paint a vertical thin white line under the green paint for a more watermelon-ish look :) hehe

• Add some evenly distributed black dots over the red paint for the watermelon seeds.
• Finish off by applying your favorite colourless nail polish after everything has dried out.

It’s a round red toy
Fluttering around on a string
Wishing to be free but it always returns
On and on and on and on
Letting go, pulling it back, again and again
A thin strip, they call it a string
But oh it has a lot of pressure there
Yo yo yo yo
I never owned one.
I think of butterflies instead.
And finally we flick it back up.

I'm glad to be able to contribute a line and have rengga. 

    Yesterday I did a shoot with my younger brother for his little prince competition for our village fiesta. We were asked to submit a photo of my younger brother as it is needed for the judges to select the most photogenic contestant. I gladly volunteered to take photos for my brother's photo (feeling photographer ang peg hahaha). 
    Here are some of the photos I took using our Canon S30 digital camera. So clearly it's not a dslr camera as we don't own one and I don't want to hasle my cousins by waking them very early. Yep, I did the shoot very early (6:00 a.m) :D I'm glad my brother's awake by then though and very enthusiastic when I asked him to stand up and change clothes. (vain kid! tsk3x) As the photos are not so crisp, I used an online photo editor to do some touch-up of the pics. Here we go:

Fresh Start~


Btw, the second photo above is the one that we've submitted for the contest.

My kind of neutral~
Here are some of the shots I took with my brother looking like a pro model with my dad's vintage glasses. ahaha. My mother didn't agree to submit these shots to the contest committee because my brother looks like a blind beggar daw. LOL



Hey Soul Sister~
     You wouldn't believe me if I tell you that it was my 4 year old brother who took these photos. haha. The perks of having a vain sister. I actually "slightly" force him to take photos of me. But then he willingly snap the camera like a pro. I have a feeling he'll grow up like me--> not-so-vain and feeling photographer ang peg. haha
     Gema shots lang to! As you can see, I'm just wearing my pair of slippers. lol. I love the backgrounds though. They're perfect for an outfit shot. Must have a decent shoot in this place some other time this summer.
