I'm back from the grave! So much drama that I'm over it and now moving on. Saturday my boyfriend and I went up to Wahiawa to see if the cherry blossoms have bloomed or not. I'm pretty sure everyone is pretty skeptical that there are cherry blossoms in Hawaii. However Wahiawa is the coldest spot on Oahu which works for these Taiwanese line of sakura. It's nowhere as spectacular as Japan of course. The plants are more like bushes than trees but the Japanese locals love them anyway! I believe they're having a Matsuri this upcoming Saturday. I would love to attend but alas it depends on my work schedule!
Base Coat: OPI Dry and Brittle Nail Envy
Light Gradient: OPI Teenage Dream (Katy Perry Collection Spring 2011)
Dark Gradient: OPI A Sparkle Yule Love (Deck Your Nails ULTA Exclusive 2011)
Topped: Sephora by OPI It's Real
Top Coat: Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat
Moving onto the nail art. I would like to point out these lovely flowers do not last very long after parting from the branches. To preserve them I decided to press them for memories and nail art! I opted to go with the growing trend of gradient gel nails minus the gel part. I started with Teenage Dream and completed the tip with A Sparkle Yule Love. After, I stuck on my dried sakura petals. To add a little more oomph I topped it with 18K gold from Sephora. It kind of reminds me of those abstract Japanese kanji art where there is a touch of gold foil. It's so sparkly and decked out that I keep staring at it! Luckily I didn't use any holo nail polish! Until next time!
