NAILSSS DID: HKTIP$.

first off, let me put it out there that this is not an A.SADE original. one of my clients maricel hit me up. well actually no wait, i take that back. HER MAN big meezie hit me up! whenever i'll post some steezy nail art of mines on facebook, this nigga always comments on how he wants me to do his woman's nails one day lol.



anyways. maricel rocks acrylics, so yall know the deal. get 'em plain & ill do my thaaaang. all she wanted was a hello kitty design on one nail for each hand. ive been eye'n this concept for a while & since she already had glitter tips, i thought this was the perfect opportunity to try it.

NAILSSS DID: Diamond Zoidal.

oh, how i love the power of social networking. a few months back, i tweeted misslawn a picture of lala's minnie nails cuz i know shes a huuuuge fan. & yall already know how twitter works - its basically a global chat room. everyone sees EVERYTHING! luckily for me, diamond zoidal saw misslawns retweet & hitted me up fayussSsst! it just so happens, that the homie DZ travels to THE BAY from LA quite often to record. so, we linked up & got to business. now, i actually say i got my first "celebrity client." thats definitely some steezy ass shit to brag about!

WEDDING GIGG.

yall remember maureen? well, she asked if i could do her hair & a few of her girlfriends for a wedding held at the SF MARRIOT. which worked perfect, bcuz i was already in the area. they were not only attending the event as guests, but they were also performing! one cool thing that i haven’t shared is.. ive actually met maureen as a choreographer for a cotillion, that i was apart of during high school. in her college years, she was a member of this dance crew called 69 degrees. long story short, they sorta made a comeback just for this special night!

i see you @hotpinkbullet, thanks for the feature & support!

XO! ASADE.

NAILSSS DID: Marilyn Monroe.

created another dope set for my regular, jhoana! yall already know im not an trained "nail tech." so, homegirl was smart enough to get her fills did, before we got down to business. as far as inspiration for themes, we literally brained stormed from bay love to the voluptuous miss marilyn monroe. lets be honest, i was lightweight hesitant about this. painting cartoons on nails are no challenge to me, but ive never tried face portraits.? i really didnt know how it would come out, so after stressin’ for a min, the light bulb floated above my head & i thought about andy warhol. then, yes! it all came together & now im about to share the whole process :]

MA$TAPIECE: SF Golden Gate.

as of late, all of my paintings on canvas have been dedicated gifts for my man. & this one? i created this shit for the homie, john davis. not for the fuck of it, but he was my very first "painting inquiry" & i gotta admit, im lightweight jealous that he got to keep this one haha. my SF inspired piece definitely came out doper than i envisioned!

that Fancy Shmancy shit.

im sure most of you who have been following my blog for quite some time, noticed that i really like to sketch my ideas first before putting in any type of work. whether its nail art, clothes, & yes even hair.. one of my nail clients jackee was a featured make-up artist for a harajuku themed fashion show & asked if i could do something with her hair. she didnt specifically have any ideas in mind considering that she has an a-line bob, SO this was my opportunity to get creative. i love when people let me do whatever - its my only chance to truly show my ASADE skills!



due to the lack of length in the back, i knew that i could only work with the top & side areas of her hair - within a few mins of brainstorming, i came up with this design. something a lil pin-up inspired.



..& since im already on the hair topic, heres another one! this is maureen. she was attending a wedding & wanted her hair did. so, she contacted me asap with details of how she wanted it done. this style is actually a lil inspired by katherine heigl's movie, life as we know it. real simple, a big & loose french braided crown with a "messy" curl bun.

peekAboo extensions.

meet one of my regular clients, cindy! shes real badd.. even badder with her new-new peekaboo sections ;] you guys will see plenty of her on my blog. she has goth black dyed hair & has been anxiously wanting to add some white blonde to make her shit stand out! the only problem is that with dark hair, its kinda hard to actually get that color cuz.. 1) it'll obviously damage your hair & 2) it will most likey turn an ugly orange color. her idea of just buying colored extensions for me to sew in, probably has to be one of the most smartest things ive ever heard of.

Quick step's to WEAVE'N.

im usually on point when it comes to taking portfolio pictures of my work but for some reason when it comes to weaves, i always forget to take a before picture! hm, maybe its bcuz i generally take photos when work is done? bleh, whatever lol. in this post, we got a first timer!! christine has always lived her life having extremely short hair but has been lusting for long & thick gorgeous locks. the problem? shes somewhat new in town & when it comes to extensions, the hair salons are way too steep for most girls pockets! so, thats where i come to the rescue - need joog? i mos def gotchu ;] readers, im about to break it down to the most simplest way possible on how you & ya girlfriend too can be long hair don’t care!

NAILSSS DID: Space Jam x Looney Toons.

apologies yall, i know im waaaay overdue for a nails did update! but i just came back from vacay, so i get a free pass ;] anyway here's some customized acrylics i made for jhoana. she's actually my homegirl who previously got her keroppi nails did. on our last sesh, jhoana had actually hit up the nail shop to get plain acrylics did, before i applied my nail art. since shes a nurse, our schedules clash real bad on setting up appts. so we tried to switch it up – see how she liked the press on nails vs salon plain acrylics. it turns out.. shes not a fan of putting them on herself! hahaha. i guess certain things arent for everyone, but you mos def cant knock it till you try it.
