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
Milani One Coat Glitter + Nubar Glitter Swatches
I’ve been resting a lot, but got my ass off to do some swatching when I came home to my new nubars in the mail : D First up, Milani One Coat Glitter. These are amazing. Gorgeous. I can’t help but love it to bits even though glitter is not exactly the easiest thing to remove. I got them from drugstore.com. Milani One Coat Glitter in Silver Dazzle, 2 coats (Honestly, not silver at all. It’s more like a dark grey gunmetal shade.) Milani... Read More
Some OPI swatches
Should be in Japan by now! Post-dated posts. Hehehe. Some OPI swatches for you guys! DS Mystery Darkened plum with gold flecks – but honestly, it just gets so covered over by the plum that its barely visible. Still visible lah, but not the kind of “shimmery” look i expected from looking at the bottle. Not worth labeling it a DS to me. Glad I didn’t buy this at the full price. What’s with the Cattitude From the Shrek... Read More
Wedding Nails + Random Nail Updates
Can you say BLING?! I loveeeeeeeeeee my wedding nails by Cynfulnails.com! This was a mix and match of many diff styles I sourced from nail mags. Maybe a little too bling, but I love it. It’s turquoise lah!!! And those arent my natural nails… I decided to have acrylic extensions instead for once cos i wanted the translucent nail tip effect. : p Also had a dangling charm! And erh, it was annoying me when I type, so i taped it up when I... Read More
Turquoise Gradient NOTD + LOTDs
I first chanced upon this in Japan during my previous trip and it’s been an awesome tool for gradient nails!!! When I found it in Hong Kong’s Bonjour I just HAD TO GET IT! It was going for 59 HKD which was around 10$ or LESS!?!? The brand is Beauty World Nail Cocktail. Purple one on left from Japan, Turquoise on right from HK's Bonjour. I believe they’re selling at SASA as well? Did a google search and SASA’s online... Read More

Gone (Fluorescent) Leopard Crazy + Fashion Season @ Orchard
People take smoke breaks, I take… nail painting/blogging breaks from work. I don’t really leave the computer. T_____T I saw this fluro yellow with pink leopard prints combi on someone’s nails at fuckyeahnailart.tumblr.com and it was such a quirky and cute combi that I had to try it! And of course match it with my new fluorescent yellow/grey striped sweater I got from Korea (very expensive at 30,000 KRW! XD Base color: Misa A Sunny... Read More
