Not a day goes by when I don’t see people with cool nails. I really want to try the gel nail polish, but at the same time, I feel apprehensive when it would all go to waste once my nails start to chip. With that said, the best I could try is nail art.
It was almost a dream come true when I received the 12 Colors Nail Art Polish Varnish Paints Set from Tmart.com. According to the product description, these beautiful polishes are perfect for creating detailed nail art. This kind of nail polish is suitable for professional nail salons and nail art schools. Whoa, I’m not a professional nail art artist but just someone who is open to try new things.
I followed steps in video tutorials on YouTube, but no matter how clear the instructions were, I still was not able to achieve the perfect stripes, crosses, triangles, polka dots or even the French tip as desired. It was especially hard when using my right hand to apply nail polish on my left hand.Β After creating smears and smudges, I decided to spend a “little bonding time” with my sister, Leigh. I asked her to apply nail polishes and create nail arts on my nails. In return, I would do the same on her nails, with different designs.
So, are you ready to see the results of our creativity? π Okay, here you go.
1. cat; 2. horizontal stripes; 3. chucks; 4. strawberry; 5. random face; 6. panda;
7. eggplant (our doll named “Talong”); 8. snowy; 9. ladybug; 10. cross
11. duo; 12. xoxo; 13. cursive “L”; 14. banana face; 15. pirate;
16. cat; 17. abstract; 18. cherries; 19. fish bone; 20. squeamish smiley
What do you think? π
By the way, we also used our own (personal) nail polishes at home as base coat:
Review of 12 Colors Nail Art Polish Varnish Paints Set from Tmart
The 12 Colors Nail Art Polish Varnish Paints Set, valued at $10.59, includes a glass bottle and a super thin nail art brush, and 12 dazzling colors of shimmering nail polishes (gold, silver, white, black, grey, parrot green, orange, pink, blue, peach, green and baby pink). Net weight per bottle is 10ML and weight is 355g (12.52oz).
Likes
1. These polishes give nails a nice subtle burst of glittery effect.
2. The texture does not make the nail look too plain.
3. Price is affordable,Β one that wonβt break your beauty budget.
Dislikes
1. The nail polishes did not dry up quickly.
2. The nail polishes have a strong smell that nearly made me hurl. They smell like paint and even if already applied on the nail and I already washed my hands with soap, the smell did not come off easily.
3. The application was a bit difficult since the polish comes out thick. Too chunky. Too gloppy.Β We had to be very, very careful.

This is sooooo cool! I’m not a big fan of nail polish but I do appreciate nail arts so much. In fact, I follow some nail art artists in Instagram. It’s just that I don’t think I can maintain the paint if it were on my own nails. Thanks for sharing this post! And oh! You have beautiful hands! π
Thanks, Prince! π Yeah, I also follow a lot of users in Instagram who post about beauty stuff. The pictures are just adoring and imaginative but not ones which I would imitate every time.
I prefer women with simple nail polish. I do appreciate flashy and multi-colored finger nails, but solid red has always been a magnet for me.
I also prefer simple nail polish and nude-colored ones (but yeah, red looks great). But for the sake of this experiment, I’m willing to try funky designs. π
so cute!! anyways, I joined your giveaway.. hihi! π

Awesome giveaway! I love your honest review.
Thanks, Megan. π
Thanks for you review. I usually don’t do nail polishes but maybe i’ll try these on the next event that I’ll be attending. π
You’re welcome, Jien. I look forward to your post then. π
I have transacted with Tmart before and yes, they are legit and has a lot of items available for grabs! I love the shades, sayang mahirap iapply. I would love to have the bag! ^_^
Oh that’s one problem about online shopping for clothes and makeup – we can’t try the products before purchasing them. Anyway, prices in Tmart are affordable and reasonable so I guess the shades you got are still a good buy. π

Thats a very good give away! You have a great collection of nail vanish π
Thanks, Rebecca. Nah, this is nothing compared to others out there. I have less than 10 basic nail polishes – nothing to rave much about. π

Hahaha thanks! Yeah we need to really practice. π Actually I am more inspired and motivated now to get more nail polish colors with good quality and devote some time in the weekends to paint my nails myself. Good luck! π
I’m a huge fan of nail polishes (i have hundreds in my collection >.<) but i totally suck at nail arts! My cousin on the other hand, is so creative that she turns her hobby into a nail spa now :). The nail art polish set looks really really cute, but i think i'm gonna stick with easier options (i.e : nail stickers) LOL. I joined your give away btw!

Actually i hit the “i commented” button too fast and didn’t read the instruction carefully -___-, i just copied what the others wrote up there i hope i got it right! LOL
Haha yeah you got the details right. Thanks for joining, Mindy. π
Wow! Wouldn’t those nail polishes get dried up after a long period of time? Well, I suppose they are emptied in a year anyway? π Hooray for your cousin’s business. I’m inspired by those who follow their passion and turn it to something that generates income. Yeah, nail stickers sound easier and quicker to apply. Gotta try those soon, too.
I love the ladybird and the fruits as elements of a great nail art. The colors are so fresh and perfect for my spring mood!
Haha thanks, Vanessa! π
Did you do those nail arts? My daughters love all your styles!
Yeah, my sister and I did. Whoa, thanks! It was our first try and I know we can be better. π
Nail art, like any other form of artistry, is dynamically evolving. I know a friend who is doing mentorship on nail art for full time. I think this is a strong niche after all. =)
Yeah it’s good that passion now turns to business. π So many people are convinced that nail art is indeed booming and trendy.
I like the colours but if they are not dry quickly it’s not good for me. I’m not quite a patience person when it’s come about nails paint..
Yeah, I tried swaying my hands back and forth in the thought that the wind would help in drying the nail paint. I also blew the nail polish once applied. Both methods did not help. Boo. π
I love doing nail arts too!! lovin’ your nail art varnish paints set! Still deciding if I should buy one or settle for nail art stickers na lang hehe π
Ahh hehe you can try both. Each has its own disadvantages and advantages. π
You have all the colors and styles to play with using this paint set.
Black and white are the most used since we had to draw lots of eyes for those characters on the nails haha.
How did people react with your unique and colorful nails?
Only a few people in the office saw it because I removed it already on the second day haha I have so many more formal meetings to attend so I felt quite shy that they’d see funny characters on my nails.
Too bad, you could have gone with this longer. =>
Haha cannot leh. π
OMG! number 1 looks sooo cute!!! so kawaii.
Thanks, Shine! My sister will be so happy to read your comment. π
wow!!such lovely colors of nail polish,anyway a very nice giveaway you have here.
Thanks, Deb. π
yay! those are really cute! I bet it was fun playing with your nails to create the nail art π
Thanks! Yeah, it was quite fun. π It was like being kids again – drawing random stuff and calling it “art.”
It’s very beautiful. My girlfriend will love this!
Thanks! π
Well, this one is a good review though I am a guy. π
Thanks, Joshua. π You may join the giveaway and if in case you win, give the prize to your closest female friend.
Those were really cool and creatively done, indeed!
Thanks, Aisha. π
Wow, cute nail arts π I’m surprised that you can do nail art at home with the use of appropriate tools. I thought designs like this requires great skills.
Our tools are just basic – no tape, no nail stripers, no nail dotters, and no special nail brushes. Maybe it would be easier to create designs with those stuff. π Gotta learn. Thanks, Kath!
Nice work of art, but personally i love a single color for my wives nail
Nice. It really shows your love for your wife. π
The panda design on your nail art rocks. <3
Hehe thanks, Fervil. I just saw the design on Google images and pointed it to my sister who did the art.
You did an awesome job! That takes talent!
Thanks, Katherine. π I should play around more with colors and textures.
Cute nail arts! I used to do my own nail arts but I’m no longer using nail polish in my hands. Being in the computer and typing in keyboard everyday, it gets chipped very easily. Sayang lang nail polish although I want to try gel polish next time.
Oh good thing my nails are not that easy to chip. Maybe you have to take more vitamins to keep your nails strong. π Yeah gel polish is recommended for you.
Your nail art are so cute! Tmart has a lot of affortable stuff talaga
Thanks, Jaja. π
Interesting small canvas for your quirky little works of art. Do you preserve all your works in photos?
This is my only work so far since it’s our first time to do nail art. π
Nice attempt on nail art! The intricate details are the ones that made me amazed on how they can do beautiful art on a finger nail! π
Thanks, Jonas! Drawing the art on my sister’s nail is harder because her nails are smaller than mine (smaller canvas).
I just love these! Very pretty!!
Thanks. π
love how you did your nails.. nail art is β₯β₯β₯

Very different colors to choose from..and I think you polish your nails everyday?
No, I don’t. π In fact, I only change nail polish every 2-3 weeks and sometimes I keep my nail polish-free so they get a breather.
Our ‘bunso’ is a huge fan of nail art and im pretty sure she’s gonna rock this with her friends too. I’m sending her the link right now! π
Yay thanks! Fashionista ang bunso ninyo noh. π
Will definitely join your contest as I like collecting Nail Polish.
Yes, please do. Thanks, Leira. π
Cool and cute polishes. I hope they give you girls a boost of confidence. = )
Hehe yes somehow. I like checking out my nails when I’m bored and waiting for something that’s too long.

The formula is thicker than it really should be with nail art, so I have started putting about half a dropper of Seche Restore in the bottle and then rolling it before I even bother starting to put any of these lacquers on my nails.
