BLACK X WHITE

In between Mid Term Tests, trying to finish up my final year project and preparing for exams, I barely have time to update this blog, I've done quite a number of nail art but I barely take pictures, would try uploading them to my Instagram as that would be easier. 










Totally unrelated but I just remebered the Micheal Jackson black or white song..#random

And thanks to Olive for creating with me!

Stay true to your dreams.

Peace x Love

Prov 4: 18 - But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect.

Psalm 91

NEW IN: MIGI NAIL ART PENS X LA COLORS

Hello!
Good to be back on here after a while..Exams and all but hey its over now so I have time to blog and whip up some fancy nail art.

A while back I came across Migi Nail Art. 


**Migi Nail Art pens are a NEW and revolutionary nail design tool that allows a quick, easy and affordable way to create artistic nail ritz designs on your nails.  Create a nail jazz style using our patented art tip and over 40 different colors, or combine with our glow in the dark or rhinestone pens!**

I recently ordered it through the help of a friend from the U.S but I have no idea if it is sold here in Nigeria. I got three packs and each pack contains 4 pens ( with a pen on each side which makes it 8 in a pack)







 
The pen tip is very thin and allows for precise and well detailed designs
On the other side is a regular brush for applying nail polish


I also got glow-in-the-dark nail pens!..

I also got Striping nail polishes from L.A colors





The thin nail polish brush allows for easy striping and other forms of designs.


Really excited about creating amazing designs from these purchases!

Stay true to your dreams!
