Luck of the Irish

Hello ladies!

OPI Who the Shrek are you?, Jade is the New Black and Skinfood white all on my toes. Luck of the irish I say!




Warning! Toes ahead.

I just really like this colour combination. I applied it a bit haphazardly but I always made a mess of my toes :P Anyway, it all peels off in the shower.

So, don't forget to enter! I will use a random number picker thingie from the internet.

Good luck! :) Maybe you can try my lucky toes!

NOTD: First Konad in AGES

Hi ladies!

2 coats of each and a swirly konad and you get.... But on a side note, the P2 was really pigmentated.

I don't know why but my Konad top coat dried all crinkly even though I was good and didnt move.

Also, my next manicure inspration!

Ooooooo! It does match my nails now but I want to do the 'one line one line' thing.

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!

NOTD: Skinfood Electric Blue

Hi ladies!

2 careful coats. The formula is smooth. But it did stain abit.

Both were taken in the light and without flash. For some reason, my paws looked pink in the second picture.

Taken with flash. This is the best representation of how blue it really is. I shudder about the cleanup later. I smell smurf hands.

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: Pink With Black Crackle

I took everyone's advice and swirled the nail polish around after I applied a coat.

It does look much better but this polish I got dries matte. Which is kinda cool.

Please forgive the lighting. It's 1145pm here and it's been raining non-stop the last week. We experienced floods here over the weekend.

Black crackle and a pink un-named Skinfood. I only did one nail to experiment.

Indoors (duh) with flash. The crackle effect is really much nicer! Compared to the streaks I had earlier.

So ladies, to crackle, one must swish.

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: Un-named but not Un-numbered Pink Foil Skinfood

Hi ladies!

I love skinfood. Did I mention it? I was lemming foil polishes at one point, and i realised, NA DUH I already have a few. Its been overcast all day so here a few quick photos. And the number of this is 24QY1. Useful huh? ^.^

Outdoors in overcast sky with flash. 2 coats.

Look at the glow! Pictures are really colour accurate but they don't really capture the complete wonderfulness of foils.

Indoors without flash. Looks flesh toned almost when lighting is dim. It's a bit more pink than this really.

I'm not really a big pink person. In fact, I traditionally shun red and pink polishes on myself. I prefer 'pop' colours ie colours that pop.

So what nail polish do you like on yourself the best?

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 :)

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! ^^
