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: Mac and Matt

Hi ladies!

So LA Alpine white (It's my all time fave white now. I need a backup bottle). It's white in 2 coats and you can make it shiny! And my lust item Mac's Blue India. I have had the bottle for ages but I finally did a manicure with it today.

Matt Alpine white: 2 coats. Mac Blue India: 2 coats. although 3 would have been better.

The sun is out! So i rushed out and took pics before my clean up. Opps. Anyway, I love the colour of the Mac Blue India. It's even better in real life. A dusky blue. But I wasn't too happy with application. It was a bit bubbly. And if you do a close up, you can see the bubbles and streaks. It's not my top coat. *sigh* But I love it so much.

My nails are Monets. Far from good, good from far. Geddit? Yeah, geddit? You don't? Oh well.

My workstation today was in the living room, much to my Mom's disgust. I have a day off cos it's a school holiday! Yeah for being a teacher!

Everyone else, have an awesome day! ^.^

NOTD: Yellow and Blue Flag Nails (Or what used to be)

Hi all! It's only after I finished my manicure that I realised it looked just like the Swedish flag.

Meatballs anyone? ^^

And I got a new bag! ^^ It was an impluse buy though.

I think you guys will be seeing photos of my shopping these 2 weeks. Cos, after I took my nail pictures, I gave my dogs a bath.

My nail got hooked on Floppy's collar and...

it got torn straight off. Ouchie! So I had to clip all my nails.

*sob*

Green Overload! (^,^)*

Hellos all! This is my left and *drumroll* right hand. I discovered that I have 16 bottles of green nail polish. Every one a joy in itself. And this was me experimenting with all the greens I had. My right thumb was a 'layered' franken. I love the colour but it had disgusting bubbles that made it look a bit like snot. Charming, eh?

I will line up the bottles tomorrow (when there is sun) and take a picture of me green beauties.

And speaking of green...

I walked into a Cash Converters after teaching a class today. I just wandered in cos I had 20 minutes to kill. I never expected to find anything interesting. And I almost didn't.

As I was just about to leave the shop, I saw little plastic bags all stuffed in a corner on a bottom shelf.

You never know right? So I looked. And I saw...

this. Interesting no? $5 for 10 pieces? What's Missha? Where is it from? Korea, I guess. Judging from the website anyway.

A++ for value. F for packaging. But who cares? So I got it!

I had 2 bottles of the same glittery brown but the rest were different!

Same bottles, just with flash this time.

I can't wait to swatch these tomorrow. I'm loving the greens and pinks in this haul.

Awesome, no? ^^

Bonus Picture:

 These are 'local' bluebells in Singapore. I could not manage a good picture. As a kid, I used to pluck these flowers and popped them on my pinkies to make little 'fairy hats'. I had a good imagination, even then.

LA Girl Punk

2 coats. But i destroyed it. I answered my cell and my hair destroyed my entire right hand. But, the left was okay for photos. I didnt clean up (as usual, I'm lazy). Soooo ignore stray bits.

I havent done a konad for ages. Inspiration doesnt seem to call for it.

In the bottle, there is a slight purple sheen to the blue. Not visible at all on the nail. Even with 2 coats. I tried different lightings but nothing work. The flash picture is the closest to the actual colour.

NOTE: Never answer phone with wet nails.

St Paddy Day Mani :)

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, this was my Paddy day mani. Used the Couleur I got and layered it with the La Girl. I love Crowd Surfing. It was little gold flakies floating in it! 1 coat of Couleur and 3 coats of the LA girl to get that flakey goodness.

Can't you just see the yummy shimmer?

This picture is a truer match to the actual colour. Shimmer hard to see.

And while I was doing all this. My noble hound, Cookie, was right by my side.

Ummmm... more like taking advantage of my absence and hogging the covers.

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?

Shopping Loot!

I went a bit crazy today. A wee bit. LA girl mattes are finally in Singapore! I know they have been out for AGES in North America but, it hit our shores 2 days ago.
