Rachel’s Wedding 04-02-2012
Rachel’s big day! She looked really resplendent in all her dresses and her red cheongsam for the day (tea ceremony) was gorgeous and fits her so well! I like! Plus she really worked it out for her wedding man – figure was perfect. If only I had half her sportiness… haha. From Serena's phone. Us with Gary & Serena. Us! "Come dear I make your face V shaped." *puts hand on his face* lol Zhiyun & I camwhoring... Read More
Kiko Milano Polishes Swatches
Some Kiko polishes I got in Rome, Italy. 245 (red) This cost me 3.90 Euros. The rest (below) are all 1.50 Euros (some promotion going on in store… I saw Kiko in Barcelona again but this time round they had no promos on the nail polishes, so I got make up instead! Prices in Italy and Barcelona were all the same.) 299 (teal blue, pearl-ascent) Reminds me of Zoya Kotori. But this is not as sheer. 301 (purple,... Read More
Accessorize Polishes (from London!)
From the moment I reached Europe I have been popping in and out and in and out of Accessorize shops to the extend where when le husband sees one he will automatically point it out to me. Hahaha. Anyway I was there only for the AWESOME polishes! (Which unfortunately, Singapore shops don’t carry.) Emerald City, Magic, Princess, Pink Spice, Aztec At £4 per bottle they’re pretty okay priced – but it’s a pretty small bottle at... Read More
Picture Polish Denim
Got a bottle of Denim from Susan (Subtle Shimmer) as I’ve actually wanted it for quite some time but didn’t have enough girls to spree with me. It’s an indigo jelly base packed with lovely blue glitter! A very unique shade this is. Application was alright, but do give it a bit more time to dry inbetween coats as I didn’t and thats why you see bald patches on my swatches. > _ < !!! They cost SGD $17 each from... Read More
Nail Art Supplies from NailTat
Some stuff I got from Nailtat Tokyo! (They have outlets in Shinjuku and Shibuya) Finally decided to post this up because even Ying posted hers so damn fast! (My trip how many months ago already man!) Atelier Re-Cue stickers. I actually visited NailTat just for this, but have yet to use it so far! I love the airbrushed roses, they're really well made and gorgeous! Close up! Beauty World (the same brand as the 3-bottle in a pack gradient... Read More

OPI DS Temptation, Orly Androgynie & Oui!
Happy new year everyone! : D New Polishes!!! Woohoooo~ Orly DS Temptation Orly Oui, Androgynie OPI Temptation ↓ Super, duper gorgeous purple + blue glass flecks (should I describe this as glass fleck? It’s shimmery, but it’s really different from shimmer.) it’s like OPI DS Magic with purple flecks/glitter bits in it. Very, very very very pretty. But better layered over black or a dark purple shade as it’s... Read More
Picture Polish Festival (Flakie) vs Nubar 2010 vs Cult Nails Clairvoyant
Everyone’s coming up with flakies recently but they’re still pretty rare as compared to say, Shatter polishes. Which is everywhere now and frankly, I’m not really a fan of shatter polishes. But flakies… *heart goes thump-thump* I fell in love with Nubar 2010 and it was … my precioussssss. In fact I got myself an extra bottle just for backups. LOL! Then Picture Polish came out with Festival (multi color flakies) and it... Read More
OPI Nicki Minaj Collection
Fell in love with the 3 bright colors the moment I saw them! (Thanks to Susan of Subtle Shimmer!) And I got them from Tammy (Timtam00.blogspot.com) at $12 each. They’re scheduled for release in 2012 Jan, but they’re mineeeeeee now! *HAPPY* Did it on ‘em Green-yellow, not overly neon but still attention attracting! Gorgeous wearable yellow and it’s opaque in 2 coats! Some have compared this to the murky green-yellow from... Read More
Had an AWESOME XMAS this year!
Everyone’s super in the mood of giving – Plus my honeymoon is happening soon (4th Jan)… And I got into the whole holiday mood like super early in this month. After the interesting gift swap party at Changi V Hotel with really awesome friends, I met up with more pals from online! I spent my single days / attached & weepy days with these people… watched them get married and they watched me get married too. Super awesome... Read More
Cult Nails Clairvoyant, Ozotic Mish Mash 532, Glitter Gal Lizard Belly, Color Club Untamed Luxury & De-luxe-cious
First of all, an awesome combination. Ozotic Mish Mash 532 over Chanel Black Pearl (dies happy even if I walk into the path of a speeding car while staring at my nails non stop. Morbid. HAHA) Blurry Picture brings out the holo goodness Both polishes dry super fast, and no problems with application. : D Next, Cult Nails Clairvoyant (Unicorn Puke) It was previously known as Unicorn Puke. Super cute name! (For the people who don’t know –... Read More
Chanel Peridot vs Ozotic 507
Ozotic Pro 507 is really different from the other Multi Chromatics. It’s opaque in two coats. Ozotic Pro 507 It’s a lovely multi chromatic shade, shifts from gold – green to green – blue (a bit!). Can get a little streaky like the Chanel Peridot, but evens out later (it’s _less_ streaky than Chanel Peridot to me). I know it was a Chanel Peridot sort of dupe, but it’s not really close at all – they may belong... Read More
Green Picture Polish Swatches!
Thanks to Sizbelle, I got dibs to swatch her polishes :p Hehe. And at the end of this post, a giveaway courtesy of Picture Polish! First up, we have Picture Polish’s Tiffany. Tiffany is a cool blue/turquoise color, but I find it to be much lighter than CG’s For Audrey which is a really close dupe of Tiffany’s trademark color. Nonetheless, this is really pretty and creamy! And next, we have Picture Polish’s Jade. It’s... Read More
Ozotic Holographic & Ozotic Mish Mash Swatches
Ozotic High Impact Holographic 604 Holographic Champagne Gold. Very pretty to look at, scattered holo… Ozotic Holographic 526 Black base with scattered holo particles. Doesn’t really look like what it does in the bottle, but i find it a nice base for the other Ozotic layering polishes (like 505, 534, 505, 502… so on and so forth). But seriously, too expensive as a black base for the layering polishes. Ozotic Mish Mash,... Read More
China Glaze Eye Candy Collection for Holiday 2011
Bought the entire set off eBay for a few cents off the normal retail price. Just eBay it. Alternatively if you want fast shipping and cannot wait to get your hands on them, they’re available on nailvibe.com as well. Weirdly enough, though the Eye Candy collection is supposed to come with silver caps, I received 2 bottles with black caps instead. The eBay seller didn’t give me a comprehensible answer so I left it at that as they worked... Read More
Chanel Polishes from CDF (China Duty Free)
So over the weekend I was overseas and stopped by CDF (China Duty Free) where I was trying to compare the prices vs Singapore’s… and the polishes were at only 135 RMB! That works out to about S$27.5 and I got two : D Actually, D: I want to hit myself for only getting two. I got two shades, 513 Black Pearl and 481 Fantastic. Both polishes applied like a dream, but slightly different in consistency – Black pearl, while smooth, appeared... Read More

StyleNanda.com Haul (Accessories & Polishes)
Got myself some polishes from StyleNanda.com along with some accessories! Mish mash of huge particle glitters and solid colors. 3 Concept Eyes Nail Lacquer A little thick, but I can manage. I mean, thick polishes are not really much of a problem once you have a good thinner in your hands. I think polish thinner is a necessity to have if you love polishes and want to use them for a long time. They’re cheap to me as they ship via EMS and if... Read More
