Lunar new year nailart o(^^o)

Wanna do something special to celebrate Chinese new year aka Lunar new year?

How about nailart???
I tried to made tutorial of this one, so hope it can help:p

Here's the review 

My Tools

Tools that I used:
1. Revlon - Double Twist
2. Revlon -Top Speed - 430 Chili
3. Revlon - White on White 050
4. The Face Shop -BK901 (black )
5. Eternally - 843 (orange)
6. Eternally - 818 (dark brown )
7. Odessa - 07 (soft pink)
8. OPI - Skyfall (gold gliter )
9. toothpicks
10. Glass bowl (as palette )
11. Acetone 

You shouldn't use exactly the same tools , I just used what I already have..

apply red color after base coat all over your nails, wait until dry 

Draw outline of the horse using black colour with toothpick, including the eye and nose, then fill the body with light brown polish (I mixed dark brown, orange, and white since I dont have light brown or nude polish ), add some white for the eye and nose  to make it more real.

Write chinese characters Using black polish with toothpick 

Apply gold gliter at the tip of your nails  

Since im righty, it's hard to drew my right nails, so I chose easier design, use black polish with toothpick draw some vine and leaves, then add soft pink over the black leaves.. 

Also draw the Chinese characters, after that apply gold gliter on the tip of nails, wait until all of your nails completely dry, then seal them with top coat and voila!!!

So hope it can help and try it!!!  Mention me if you try it at instagram / twitter  @justcelli #byJustcelli and don't forget to give me some coments..Thank you xo

Year of the horse!!!

Are you guys excited to welcoming the year of Horse??
Umm...okay maybe some of you dunno about these things,  don't worry I'll explain :)
What is year of horse?  It's one from twelve zodiac according chinese. For this2014 Chinese new year aka Lunar year  will be celebrate on Jan 31,and will be year of horse.... It's lunar year because it's count according lunar or moon, I also dunno how to count it lol... but every year won't be celebrate at the same date...

What about the other 11 zodiac beside horse ?
1. Mouse
2. Ox
3. Tiger
4. Rabbit
5. Dragon
6. Snake
7. Horse *
8. Goat
9. Monkey
10.Rooster
11.Dog
12.Pig
Why these animals ? According story that I heard, long long loooonng time ago there's one God held a race for these zodiac position , so they're the winners....  Also some people belief that dog and cat become enemy because of this race.....  Is that for real?  Only heaven know actually...

So what Chinese people do to celebrate Lunar new year?  It depends , but mostly we will gather with the "Big" family to eat together, give red envelopes to kids and parents (usually you will receive red envelopes until your twenties or until you married , after married it's ur turn to give ur parents ), cleaning house before the big day ( Chinese people believe if you clean on that big day, you also sweep away your fortune ) ,pray to Gods and ancestors.....

And I did nailart to welcoming the year of horse. ...
