Manicure!

So one of my best friends - Caibei showed me a photo of her newly painted nails today! And then I realise how lazy I am at painting my nails since my old nail color has been destroyed by my rabbit and I've yet to re-do it.

After some considerations, Caibei suggests me to do a red color on my nail because I don't think she's ever seen me in red. PLUS, I FORGOT I actually had a red polish! dam.

Its from Essie: Tiny Wine-ey, that came out last year as the Christmas collection!

So this is how it looks like after 2 coats! :) Pretty good I'd say!

Ok another photo which is much clearer than the previous I think, and it is true to color, almost 100%! :D This red is a older red I feel, not as young as some orange-red out there, but definitely flattering on Asian skin tones! Very festiv type of red I'd say.

Then my boyfriend was complaining how I didn't draw any flowers on my nails like I did in the past - He laughs at me and say my flowers on my nails SUCK thats why I gave up! GAH!

Then I realize that I had a packet of nail stuffs that I got from Diaso a year back!!! EXCITED! Because I always wanted to do something interesting to my nails, but never tried because I'm lazy and I'm always too busy.

*HINT-HINT* Guess how my nails would look like! :D :D :D

Te-dah! For a first timer, this is pretty damn good ok! Yes thats how I feel and you should feel it too. I'm not a fan of roses though, but it looks not bad for a $2 packet of stuff bought from Diaso. So I'm not complaining. :D

Hehehehehe. SO HAPPYYY

Both my hands look equally nice. YAY.

Cam whore my nails. :D

Sisters, if you enjoy manicures, 3D nails, why not try to DIY yourself! :) Ok you're probably going to think I suck or what, but I've never ever ever been to a manicure/pedicure before. Simply because had I wanted anything 3D, the price would shoot up to like $20 each nail at least. Or $100+ per hand even for a home salon. It is true that they do a better job at it, but for $100, I could buy a pair of 24k golden earrings! Probably quite a big one some more. Moreover, its seriously fucking cheap to buy those blings or fake roses or whatever. I'm left with quite some blings n fake pearls and polishes after doing this.
Nail poslish: $10
Diaso Nail Kit: $2
Top coat: $10
Nail File: $1.50
These could probably last you at least 20X DIY Manicure! Ok maybe you need to buy more diaso nail kit though. :D Or just cot out the old blings from your phone, unwanted earrings... or whatever. Its pretty easy to cut metal. I used nail clippers. :D

And yes yes yes I know gel 3D nails last longer and stuff but it doesn't make sense for you to keep it till your old nails grow out. Then it wouldn't look as good anymore! Plus after that you got to spend like 60+-80+$$ to get the gel nails removed! :! Mine is done using clear nail polishes, which I dont think would last very long, but if you're careful enough, I say it should last around 3 - 4 days, up to a week if clear polish was re-applied. :D

Ok I hope this post is interesting enough, because I'm satisfied with my nails now~
Though my boyfriend laugh at it and says it looked exactly like some freaking sushi he ate. DAMMIT!
XOXO

Pixi eyeshadow kit / Essie nail polish haul / Holiday!

Hello! So I thought I'd do a blog post before attending to a wedding makeup as well as rushing and FLYING off to a holiday trip with my boyfriend tonight.

I don't know what is in my head when I booked the ticket, but I made my own life so difficult! My client's makeup (5 of them) today would end at 6+/7. and in order to fly off, I got to reach airport by 8. DAM!

Anyway, here to show you some of my recent loots. :D hehe.

Love this. Its super compact and it is going to make such a fantastic travel kit. In fact I bought this for my trip this time! :D So I'd test it out and give you guys a review when I'm back. :D




Ok so if you noticed the peachy color looking a little weird/ DIFFERENT from the rest, it came smashed and broken. So I pressed it back with rubbing alcohol. :) Looks fine to me now!

Now I'm planning to do a what I brought for my trip kinda post but again I already packed everything into my luggage bag! DAM! Maybe I should do a 'What I brought that was useful' post when I'm back or half way during my trip.
But!
Yep I got another shade of this, so now I have 240 and 210 I think??? I am so busy recently so I really didn't have the time to test this out. I'd bring it overseas and hopefully do a review. :D see how this works in the winter. :P

So, stay excited.


Nail polish haul. All I had in mind when I got these polishes are: HOLIDAYS/ CHRISTMAS/ NEW YEAR. So explains my choice. :D

I'll let the images do their own introduction here:



Twinkle Lights
Sugar Cane
Over the top
Tiny Wine-ey
Steel-ing the scene

And, hello nails. :) I had Sugarcane on 4 fingers and then over the top on the 4th finger. I also had the face shop's gold glitter nail polish on top of over the top on 4th finger. Oh my god my explanation SUCKS.

A look I done a few weeks back. Hmmmm yeh. And I'm quite positive I've not shown this here before. :) Note that I didn't put any eyeliner because I'm really just. LAZY. But a black eyeliner would complete this look. :D

Ok signing off, I got to prepare now.
XOXO
