Super Lucky Nails!

An old Rainbow colour!

In sunlight, 2 coats.

With flash!

And I got my place! :) I brought a 2 bedroom apartment! (^.^) I'm a homeowner and I was wearing this when I gave the cheque.

So yes, loans are settled. I just need to do a bit more paperwork and it will be done.

And bonus pictures

A moth in the gardern. I think it's an atlas moth. It was huge!

Look at this!

And I still can't believe I have a 30 year loan now. >,<

But I'm still happy!

Old NOTD: Frosty Goodness

Rainbow polishes were afoot again! Again, nameless and numberless. Nothing on the bottle to indicate anything.

With flash indoors. Most colour accurate.

VNL very visible. I used 3 thin coats. I don't like frosts but I keep buying them. *palm to face* And I HATE VNL. I think it's soooo ugly. Needless to say, this lasted on my nails for 5 minutes. Just to take pictures.

And some products I love. Note the pretty packaging!

Jill Stuart Fruit and Aroma Mist. Rose scented. It moistures the skin with just a spray! And it smells heavenly too. I do use this on occasion to set my makeup. Or before I apply my liquid foundation.

Anna Sui makeup base primer. It's a WONDER! If I use it, my foundation lasts alllll night, even with dancing and sweat. Plus, like all Anna Sui products, it smells so good. I love the scent of roses but I'm not too fond of the flavour.

PS I know I say frosty goodness, although I don't like the finish, but it is GOOD for a frost. I guess.

NOTD: Sunny Skies Ahead

Blue skies ahead! I know in some parts of the world, summer is winding down. And my pals down under are freezing! ^.^ So here's a sunny manicure to  brighten anyone's day.

I used 2 coats of a Rainbow blue. And then my paints for the clouds, birds and sun. I think I might do sheep next.

And another random Japanese thing I got!

Woolen face washing brush! It wasn't very good. With the first use, the brush became matted. Oh well!

PS Will know if I get my place by the 11th. And I am preapproved for my housing loan. Yippeee!

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: Pinky Purple Manicure

Hi ladies!

I promised pics of nails today and I will deliever but my cam didn't save the earlier manicure! *bangs head*
No idea what went wrong...

So I have nails. 3 coats of a Rainbow polish. Pinky purple with red and silver glitter.
But for some reason, it looks blue-purple or burple in the pictures.

It's not an accurate colour. But as usual with rainbow polishes, it glides on like butter.

THAT is the colour. *sigh* I can't work photoshop so this is the best I can do...

But I did go out for durians and mangosteens with my best friend.
The King and Queen of Fruit.

Yum, yum. Don't drop it on your foot. It's an aquired taste. Like blue cheese, but I love it. This is a Malaysian durian, the taste is richer. Those frozen Thai durians are different. I feel they taste bland.

And mangosteens! This bag was $2. And it goes so well with durian. *drools* If you haven't tasted it, you must. I remember going into Harrods (in London) and I saw they were selling these in the food department. 2 medium sized ones for 6 pounds! That was $17 those days. I almost fainted on the spot.

And the aftermath... We have durian sellers here that set up wooden tables and stools. And each table has a BIG basket for the shells and stuff. Ahhhh... Bliss!

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? ^^

Swaps!

Hi all!

This is my 'willing-to-swap' list.

Some of the nail polishes have been swatched once, some are used (like 20% gone), and some look used but if we swap, I will go out and buy a new bottle for you! I shall indicate where and what and if that is the bottle you are getting a a new one. :)

Just a warning: A lot of the korean nail polishes have numbers and letters as names. Ex: PK3637
So to save time, I didn't type those out. Just indicate from left to right (or whatever plugs your tub, whatever floats your boat, whatever roasts your chestnuts or whatever wraps your wontons, ummm you get the picture) and say which bottle. Easy peasy lemon sqeezy? :)

These are are unused. The Missha ones are the same polish. From left to right, the first one is full and the other is 80% full. I say missing cos it just came like that. Fuso red and Fuso Red Glitter. Honey Sweet blue/gray. All this are unswatched and new.

From left to right, Sally Hansen Spell (70% full), Sally Hansen Lavender Envy (swatched), Pedicure White (80% left), Sally Hansen Black Out (Used for frankening only), Sally Hansen True Love (Swatched once) and Revlon Copperglaze Platinum (swatched once).

These Rainbow polishes are nameless. But click to enlarge. These are brought new. This is my personal collection. Just state Top picture or bottom.

My ever-classic Skinfood pedicure range. I swear by these guys. They are are really great one-coaters. I will get these new.

Who says blue and green should never be seen? These beauties are screaming out for ya! The green in the middle is a yummy jelly. Click to enlarge and yes, these will be new. :)

Hot hot hot! The orange is lovely and (top picture, last bottle on the right) is a beautiful red shimmer. These will be bought new.

The bottle with the gold cap is my favourite rose gold one. People have said they don't see the gold. I don't know why I say rose gold either sometimes, it's just the shade and I can't explain it. :) The black for this range requires 3 coats (Just a warning :)) But it dries to a nice glossy black. Yes! More new bottles!

Soooooooo... Any questions?

If you want to swap please just let me know. Rainbow and Skinfood is an 'endless' supply. However, if I do head out to the shops, and they don't have the colour that you want, I'm not giving you mine. ^^ I will try my best to source it from either Singapore or Malaysia. So you might have to give me a bit of time.

The other brands is first come, first served. I only have a bottle of each and those are colours I don't like on myself. >,<

I must also figure out how to put this as a link or another page. My html skills do not exist. And I can slaughter zombies, kill hordes of ogres and have a couple of lucky headshots... But I can't create webpages...

*sigh*

But seriously, have fun browsing and just leave me questions in the comments section.

I will get back to ya ASAP! ^^

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.

NOTD: Layering

I used 1 coat of Rainbow and then a coat of my earlier franken. But, I added a few drops of black to it.
Mirco glitter and hex glitter as well. But sparse!

Sorry I haven't been posting. Been busy at work and sick.

LAst look at the bottles!

^^
