NOTD: OR205 Sunglasses Needed!

Hi ladies!

This is from the Faceshop and aptly named OR205. It is a neon highlighter orange! I did a base coat, then a thin coat of white then 2 coats of the orange.

Taken in the 'sun' (bit cloudy today) with no flash. It's really a much brighter orange. The pictures make it seem so muted.

Wah ha ha ha! My uneven nails. I love orange but it looks CRAP on me. >,<

Matchy matchy! If u see these in a stationary store, look at it. SAME bright shade.

It's been 2 days and there is some edge wear. I find the forumla great and easy to apply. Dries sooo slowly though.

I just realised this is my first orange nails.

Bazinga! (^.^) Can't wait for end September so that I can get my Big Bang kick again...

I want Sheldon!

NOTD: LA Girl's Head Banging

Hey ladies!

This is banging! I'm beginning to love the formula on these more than OPIs!

Ooooo SHimmer! I'm such a green fiend!

I fell asleep with wet nails thus the hair streaks. This is 2 coars and I kept it on for 4 days! There is tipwear but considering how rough I am, they stood up well.

And I am trying a new eye mask from Faceshop. It's a gel mask. My skin has been blotchy... So!

It's designed for the eye area. They are squishy at first, but after 30mins, the eye masks become drier and thinner, like paper. It's cool!

It smells divine too! As it should be, being that close to my nose. I'm going to use one once a week for a while and let's see if my eye bags get better. Only thing is that it's a bit expensive. $4.95 per use. Hmmm...

DISCLAIMER: I brought all of these on my own, with my own money. It's MY opinion.

NOTD: Mini Skittles

Gold, pink and blue!

Faceshop gold 3 coats. Skinfood 1 coat. Rainbow blue 2 coats.

I wanted something to match my hair. I put in bright pink extensions to celebrate my life as it is now. Which is AWESOME!

Indoors with flash.

Natural light indoors with no flash.

I love skittles. Don't ya? I say Mini cos I only did 3 colours. And I will take pictures of my hair soon. I need a friend to do it for me.

And as for the apartment?

They took my check. But they haven't banked it in yet. So I will know if my offer has been accepted in 8 days. But bank loan is coming along fine. No issue at all. I'm so thankful.

LIFE IS AWESOME! ^.^

Forgive me if I'm bouncing off the walls in joy. I'm just so tickled pink.

NOTD: Goldfinger.......s

Faceshop gold! It's not really my colour. I like it but not on me. Top picture without flash, bottom with flash. It's really a lovely gold. I just wish it looked better on me.

It really is pretty. 2 coats. But, I couldn't stop that. I had to play around more.

What did I do? ^^

My Mini Giveaway! :Minor Edit to Rules

Sooooooo, here are the rules.

Rules

1. You must be a follower need not be a follower. (I decided since I hardly follow any blogs but read a whole bunch which I bookmarked, I would be a hypocrite to just allow followers! So yes, everyone join the party. However, if you wish to follow me, I won't say no!) International readers welcome!

So good luck everyone! ^^ *cross fingers and toes*

Franken: No. 2 (Unnamed)

Frankening is fun!

I used half a bottle of the blue and I added 8 drops of both yellows into the blue.

One yellow is a yellow-neon. The skinfood one is shimmery yellow.

So it added a lovely sheen to the new polish which turned out a nice shade of green.

Due to the Faceshop forumla, the nail polish is groopy. And it appiled unevenly. But I love the colour. However, it took 4 coats to have any colour shine through.

And the result of this pairing!

The ones without flash is a truer colour. You can see in the middle of the nail where the nail polish dribbled.

I am looking for a shop in Singapore that sells empty nail polish bottles. And mini ball bearings. ^^

I know there are a lot of sites online which do sell but with my international shipping costs, the bottles then go up almost 300% in price. To have a discount, I need to buy a minimum of 50 bottles.

What's a girl to do?

PS What could I call this one?

First Franken Attempt

I have had Sally Hansen Lime Lights Hard As Nails for the longest time. I think it was the first green I ever got. Click for pic credit. Anyway, its a bit more shimmery and lighter than in the picture above.

But I hated the application, light goopy. It took forever to dry and even then... It required at least 4 coats for any colour to shine through. I used it for layering but finally, just gave up and it retreated to the back of my nail drawer.

Until..

Faceshop BL603 met gold L'Ocean Pearl Powder in Gold Dust. I dumped about a half teaspoon of powder in and possibly 15 drops of BL603. And...

It's soooo pretty. No amount of pictures would do it justice.

Forgive the lack of clean up. But this is one coat over my Skinfood Green Jelly manicure. It's frosty! Shall do pics soon of it on its own.

So what do you think?
