NOTD: Spider Eggs and Glitter

Hi ladies!

I know my manicure sounds and looks like a Halloween one, and no, it was not intentional. I just wanted orange nails to go with my navy dress. And I got excited and I went a bit far. Me thinks. But before the nails, I want to show you something...

Lookie what I got! And no, the wet spot isn't drool. My hair was wet. (^.^) I got 2 lipglosses, a BEE-YEW-TEE-FULL blusher and transucent powder. Will post pictures soon

Today's colour is couatney orange from Sinful Colours. Part of my haul when I was in Vancouver. It's very pigmentated. This was 2 coats. The formula was smooth and easy to apply.

This was my left hand and it looks like some spiders had a fertility rite on my fingers. And this is the result. Again, cuticles are dying. (@,@)

This is my right hand. I don't think I could have drawn on my right hand the way I did on my left. But I kinda like the effect of 2 different hands.

And I have been playing around with makeup and false eyelashes. They are much much much harder than I ever thought it would be.

Close up.

Even closer. All the colours are from Urban Decay.

Highlighter: Uzi

Lid: Radium and Haight

Blending: Loaded

Undereye: Bordello

All used on top of Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer.

I like it cos it's a bit drag-queenish.

Shall take more pictures later of my makeup and shall post up pictures of my nails from last week. 

Have an awesome day!

PS: Due to chinese new year, I have 5 days off straight. Woohoo!

NOTD: Cheeky Ghosts!

Hi ladies!

I got out me brushes and decided to do an early Halloween manicure.

NEVER paint while drinking choya. Your hands go shaky, your art looks crap, but hell, you don't care. (^^)

Both taken with flash. The top thumb looks like a one toothed vampire, or according to one of my students, it does. Note the child like innocence of the drawings. Really channeling the 5 year old in me!

But I kinda like it cos it's so messy!

Now to do a better one! Offffffffff with their heads!!! MUAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

NOTD: Updated Electric Blue

Hi ladies!

I tried doing some nail art. Hmmmm... I don't know what to think about this. It's a bit streaky but I did take the picture while my nails were wet. With flash.

Without flash.

And I know the season is wrong but I figured the blue would be a perfect Xmas manicure in the future. So I tried and it turned out pretty cool. But I'm months too early!

Old NOTD: Ex-Lucky Nails and Some random cheap brand

Please forgive quality. I took this with my camera phone. This was my manicure when I was house hunting. I HAD bling but it fell off the first day. This was Depend's green and LA girl Matt white. I drew the tiny rainbow on. It looked much better 2 hours before I took this picture.

 A nameless $1 bottle. It was a shimmery brown. Taken with flash.

Taken without flash. It looks greenish here but there is NO green in it to the naked eye. This was 2 coats.

Some bonus, funny pictures to come!

I was wandering round the supermarket late one night. I saw some funny funny things. So I took pictures.

First up, a pirated Barbie doll.

Drag queen much? Look what it says on the back.

She will bring you much infinite happiness! A must for just $14.90!

And while you are soooo full of infinite happiness, use this hoola hoop for joyful! Make me joyful as well! ^.^

We all need more happiness and joy, no?

NOTD: In the Garden (Land and air ^.^)

Hi ladies!

I took out the brushes and did some nail art ALL BY MYSELF. Even my right hand. Wah!

I used Revlon Red (2coats) for the ladybugs. PA dark jelly green (4 coats) for the grass.

Cute right? I'm loving it! Even though the bugs are a bit cross eyed.


Then I used a nameless/numberless Rainbow creme blue (2 easy coats)

Tadah! It's a lovely colour.

A bee! It's not original, I saw it on some one's blog a while back and I can't remember who! But it's a great simple idea. I can't believe I drew that bee with my left hand. Not bad considering huh?

So you like? Does anyone else draw funny things on their fingers too? ^^

NOTD: Purple Flowers

First I applied a single coat of OPI's Done out in Deco.

And a coat of Skinfood. It's a shimmery purple. For some reason I can't upload that photo of the bottle. Bah.

In sun. No flash.

In shade. No flash. 2nd photo blurred to show shimmer and glitter.

Then I employed slave labour, I mean a friend, to paint purple flowers with my paints.

All taken in  shade with no flash. Not bad huh? It was his first time :P

And BYS Fern on my tootises. 2 coats. Formula was a bit drippy and the brush was not great. But I do love the colour. I should have done 3 coats but I'm lazy.

NOTD: Sad-looking PInk Strawberries

Hellos ladies!

I warn ya! WORST CUTICLES EVER. Since I was sick, I never did pick up the cuticle cream and have not done so in about 10 days.

Punishment for my sin. *sob*

Anyway, I did try out my new paints and tried a simple design. I truly need practice. One day, I will look back on these pictures and laugh. Or cry.

We all have to start some where right?

*sigh* I used a Skinfood pink and my paints. It looks slapped on. But good from a distance.

I took this indoors with as much sunlight as I could get through my window.

And Cookie was sleeping last night. But the flash woke her up!

Look at that baby face!

Poor sleepy girl :)
