Ain't any perfect nails, but no art is perfect.

It's been some time since my last DIY red nails with ribbons stickers.

Has got the mood to do my own Classic Pedicure.
My basic nails-beauty tray.


Decided to use this 3 colors for my toes.

Pampered my feet by removing all the hard skin with a foot file & some whitening apricot scrub.
*oooH the fragrance!*
Give the legs/feet some moisturising massage.
In my case, I used some face products that I didn't want anymore as my feet moisturizer.

Cuticle oil gotten from a blogshop which sell at least $10 cheaper than nail parlours.
This cuticle oil actually comes with a brush tip for easy application as you can control the amount of oil you want.
It's been a year since I last needed to cut my cuticles.
If there's no excess cuticle, just leave them & nourish instead with cuticle treatment oil/cream.

Another alternative will be this Grapeseed cuticle oil from Daiso which cost only $2.

After leaving the cuticle oil on for 30mins, I applied base coat & the purple nail varnish(only 1 coat) from Face Shop.
(Sorry this isn't good cos I kinda forgotten to wipe the excessive oil off, hence the color doesn't go up as nice)

2 coats of the Blue varnish to create this triangular shape over the purple color.
It's actually quite easy. Just slant the brush & paint over gently.
It doesn't even have to be perfect.
I don't even want to make sure that all 10 toes have the exact same shapes.

Striped the 2 colors' borderline with the black varnish to make the colors stand out more.

This is the final result.
This classic pedicure only needs 45mins to complete if werent for the photo-taking.
(And sorry again, I didn't clean off the messy stains b4 taking this photo)'

Now my back is totally aching! Time to rest! Good Night!
