How I take my Macro Nail Pics

Isn't this gorgeous??!!


Its a macro pic of Krizia Merman (see full swatch below)

I recently got a new clip on lens on Aliexpress for around $5. Its not the all-in-one kind of a thing with different attachments. This one is just a macro lens that can be clipped on any phone. Its really very good and I am surprised by the pics coz my old faithful point-n-shoot camera cant get as close as this does. So how close does this go?

First up heres a few pics of the product:

The white part is the clip. Incased in it is the black rubber type case which holds the lens.



So you gotta put the lens in the white clip and clip it on your cell.




The back section (see above pic; where my pointer is) that will clip on to your cellphone, while the lens will go right in front of your camera.


Below is a half zoomed pic (as in zoomed in my camera not on computer/pic); the top most one of this post is where its fully zoomed in)

This is how that pretty polish looks like in real

So the deal with this is that you have to go realllly close with good lighting directly on your nails.
Like as close as 1cm or even less and make sure ur hands are steady and you dont let your shadow fall on  your nails. and go clicking!!

Cute hearts with Picture Polish Merge

Picture polish released this pretty shade earlier this year and I got around 10 pp straight from Aussie. (follow me on IG to keep up with my hauls ( @nailartnthings ); got loads from mdu, ucb, bm and another mdu is on its way. 
Somebody take away my internet pls!! This is my worst ever no-buy phase !)

Base: Picture Polish Merge
Stamping plate: Uber chic beauty 1-01
Stamping polish: MDU Nabu
All topped with HKgirl
For the mani I made decals so as to get the placing right..Still havent got my hands on a jelly stamper.

Its a really pretty Taupe-nud* on me. Filled with loads of silver flakies which look lightly scattered holo when the lights hit it. Goes opaque in two coats (one thin, one slightly thick) Dries super fast just like most pp; even in this hot humid weather. Have a look upclose at this one (macro below). 
Its a shade that will suit all skin tones and look good on any occassion.
