The H consonant looks like a person wearing a hat.

The vowels AH, UH, OH and OOH are rotations of the same shape (in red).

The vowels YA, YUH, YO and YOU (in blue) are rotations of the same shared shape as well.

The last two vowels EU and E (in yellow) are also rotations of the same shape. Look closely and you'll notice that there are only three main shapes in creating Korean vowels!

Nails inspired by Kara's "Pandora"

September 4, 2014

Omo! I am in love with Kara's new music video. They especially look gorgeous in their individual shots where they wear white and gold. I'm a girl yet I must confess there is something so enchanting about Goo Hara's eyes at 2:04.

While I like Kara's white outfit more than the black one shown in the first half of the video, I am inspired by the latter. The intersecting nude lines draw your attention. For our nails we use peach for the base and white for our lines ^_^
