I have not done an NOTD post for a couple weeks so what better time to do one than the day of the letter N (April A to Z Blogging Challenge). I have been doing this challenge for almost 14 days now! I had been wearing really bright colors since mid March so I decided to switch things up a little. I still kept it spring-y but added a twist with black nail paint and a few nail stickers. Actually I find it hard to allow myself to wear black on my nails, I don’t know why so adding it to a mix is the way to go. This way I do not feel like it is too bold for me (funny that I was embracing a bold lip yesterday). I just like a bit girly/polished manicures. So anyway here is what I used for this Orchid-Black and Silver Spring manicure:

Innisfree Eco Base Coat

Innisfree Pro Nail Color – 30

Organic Farm Lovely Pastel Nail #03 (from Daiso)

The Face Shop Face it Gel Touch Nails – Top Coat

Nail Stickers (no idea where I got them from but you can see them here)

(Forgot to add in photo) The Face Shop Face it Colored Paper Nail SL212

I really like how this turned out. The (Daiso) Organic Farm nail paints are 1000 KRW (~1$) each but they have nice shades. I would admit that the quality is not the best but I am not too fussy about nail paints as I do not use them as often. Plus an OPI nail paint costs 22000 KRW (22$), I can get 22 nail colors from Daiso or 11 good ones from Etude House! Sorry I forgot to include the chunky silver nail paint in the photo. I only used it on the black nail paint one one finger just to add more silver to the manicure and sort of bring it all together!

What are you wearing on your nails?
