Chinese New Year Nail Art 2015

Yay!! Finally I have time todo Nail Art. Lol

Been busy since New Year. Anyway this was my first CNY nail art attempt. Hopefully I have more time for few more. 

The design was inspired by @flickanail , a Japanese Manicurist. Honestly there were tonne of inspiration from Instagram. 

But let me introduced a nail art fountain pen. I recently purchased a fountain pen from @stylishnailartshop . She sell alot of different type of nail art brush, few fountain pen and nail art ink. Check it out. Eventhough the brand she carried was a Taiwan brand, Just Nail. However her service was top notch. Actually this was my 2nd time purchase, and everytime she delivered quickly and included lovely free gifts. Hehe. 

It was really easy to use. Honestly I have never been able to write such a small words before. But with this fountain pen, it was an easy task. But sadly I mistaken purchase a white colour instead of black!! Aiks. 

Nude Colour - OPI Otherwise Engaged
Red Colour - Essie Snap Happy
Gritter - Kleancolor Santa Fe Springs
For words and painting - I used the fountain pen and a Pure Color Glamor No. 1 brush (bought from @sytlishnailartshop also)

Enjoy!!

Sephora Party Color Hit Xmas Nail Polish Set

I bought another Nail Polish Xmas Box Set from Sephora. Yup..another one. Hahaha like I couldn't get enough nail polish to fill my cabinet. This round was Sephora own brand of nail polish.

This was not the first time I tried Sephora Nail Polish. I found it quite okay. What I like most about it was the easy appliance with wide brush and only 1 coat was normally enough. However it was quite easy to get chipped compare to other reputable brands. So do remember to apply a good top coat to protect it (eg Seche Vite or HK Girl).

Price wise, RM26.00 for 10ml. Expensive?? No. But definitely not considered cheap since it was only 10ml.

My friend bought this set for me as Sephora was having a 1 day special promotion for this set. Like literally whatsapp her immediately when I saw Sephora post the promotion on it Facebook. Luckily it was before her lunch time! Original price was RM139, reduced to RM89. Pretty cool price for 11 bottles of nail polish and 1 piece sheet of nail tattoos. So average was RM8/- per bottle.

The box colors was (start from upper left) :-
Green Revolution, Trick & Treat, Animal Instinct, Midnight, Sugar Coated, Cherry Popsicle, (lower left) Eccentric, Starry Night, Pink Paradise, Gold Fever (top coat) and 5th Avenue.

Then the nail tattoos sheet which I loved it very much! The deer head was super cool. Simple but eccentric when you combined it with grey or pink nail polish. But do excused my photo as it was taken after I used a few pattern.

More detail photos of the nail tattoos. 

It has a tutorial book also for 12 patterns which honestly I didn't fancy much.

Well, overall it suit the holiday season. Hahaha now my nails were very colourful and pretty blink blink with the gold glitter top coat. Awesome xmas feel!

Butter London colour swatches

Butter London

This was my first purchase of Butter London. Yeeeeah. #pathetic lol 

Butter London is origin from UK. Currently I think in Malaysia only Sephora is carrying this brand. Price RM54-RM57 for nail lacquer.

I managed to grab 4 bottles during the recent Sephora Merdeka promotion of 2 for RM57.00 

Hmm I seldom do colour swatches. Cos felt it abit wasting polish. Like I have to literally wash it in a min after the photo shooting. I tried to paint one colour in a week..so later thought compile the photos later on. Sadly I'm not a very discipline person..so most of the time, I forgot about it jor. lol

But I have fun doing it. So plan todo it on weekly basis. #superexcited 

So here is the colour swatches. 

Lushington 

Victoriana

Scoundrel

Cuppa

These are 11ml (4 fl oz) and are "3 Free" Aka No Formaldehyde, No Toluene and No DBP. (I think its todo with cancer causing chemicals). 

Butter London Brush

It's brush is smaller and thinner compare to OPI. Which is great to me, since I have a very small finger nail. Make applying so much easier.

Thanks for reading (^^)

Nails Inc. Denim Effect box set

Recently bought few nail polishes from Sephora during its Merdeka Promotion. One of it was the Nails Inc Denim Effect box set. 

I was really intrigued on the Denim lookalike Nail Polish colour. Wondering the effect really as nice as advertised.

So here is the box set item. Not much. But for Price RM31.00. Reasonable la. 

All the stuff found in the box.

The instruction on the box.

The ingredients details

With one coat only, the colour was really solid jor. Not bad at all!
 

Ops sorry. After done the nail art design , only remember to take photo on colour alone. So here were the 2 finger nail b4 nail art and 2 with Matte top coat finish.

I din't manage to use their nail glue bottle. Cos the bottle cap was super tight! Anyhow used mine.. and tadah.. here is my Mani for the denim effect nail polish. FYI the bottom of the bottle written :bermondsey No. 133. 

A simple mani. 

The nail stuff that I used to create this mani
From Left : White Nail pen, OPI Matte Top Coat and the Nails Inc. Denim Effect polish.

Honestly I do loved it. Easy to apply and with only 1 coat..save alot ler! But not fancy with the star stud. I have tonne of it.

Have fun with it if you decided to buy it.

Scratch.it ~ April 2014 mani box

This was the April mani box but only last few days I have time to use them. 

I love the pattern, but this round it was a transparent version. So it is best to put a colour nail lacqear as a base to enhance the nail wrap's pattern.

However no fuss, this round mani box has included 3 bottles of Color Club nail lacquers as free gifts.

I kind of fall in love with this brand of nail lacquer. It was smooth and only with 2 coats it look pretty sturdy.

After put on the nail wrap, the effect really diff!! I was totally in love with them! Ohh do aware that I mix 2 patterns together - Rising Sun & The Leaf

Closer shot to show how thin the nail wrap is.

Thanks for reading!

Blinking pedi ♥

I think this was the first time post my pedi. Honestly I rarely do anything fancy to my toes. Since a simple polish can last me at least a month. 

But I really like this one, everytime I look down, awww my toes look so pretty. It gave a very snowy feeling. So dreamy. ♥♥

But when I took the photo, omg, my feet really in terrible state!! Wuahahaha so ignore my ugly toes but enjoy the simple pedi I done. 

The snow white was bought from a USA indie nail polish maker. She has a monthly mystery box sold at usd20 but the postage to malaysia (as always) cost a bomb, usd14.  I want to blog about it but unfortunately all my photos taken during unboxing was stupidly deleted jor!! So now, too lazy todo again. 

The glitter transparent nail polish was OPI, bought at Shins at 5% discount. 

Enjoy!!
