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.

OPI - 4 In The Morning swatches


Yeah! I finally bought this colour. Saw it few months before but eeeee dunno why wait until now only bought it. It is one of the nail polish under Gwen Stefani's OPI collection.

The colour is black shimmer with satin coat. Dry super fast compare to usual nail polish. Then finishing likes matte feel. So don't make a mistake like me, put a top coat on it! Ya.... ended up it look like any black. A flat black. Wasted!

This is without any top coat. The shimmer is not that obvious if you just glance thru. The satin finish really give a touch of elegant.  


Hmm actually I done a 2 coat and a 4 coat to show you a different. Sadly my camera skill is really bad, hahaha cos both look the same! Darn! Anyway the 1-2 coat can give a lighter black ..like dark grey colour. I think the photo below look better on the comparison. 


Love it! Ya, have to repeat the statement to convince myself of every ringgit I spent on it. Mum just scold me for buying too much nail polishes! Sad... and I failed to hide any new collection anymore jor. Now I basically just put it on my coffee table since my nail rack too full ! I really have to make a trip to Ikea to buy the Helmet drawer cabinet.... But thinking to wait for Spotlight to open on next week at Ampang Point. Who's know they have a better option for my nail polish..plus I too chicken to ask my ex-boss to made a nail polish wall rack for me. lol

Colourful gradients leopard nail art





This was done on the day of our Malaysia Team's final battle with Japan for Thomas Cup.

Yup.. at first I was preparing to create a Thomas Cup nailart.... But sadly after 2nd Match, was too disappointed to do so jor. Cos chances to win the Cup was getting lesser and I didn't want later the nail art remind me of the sad day.

So I done a simple mani art for Mum instead.. just to "distract" me to shout #$%^& at the TV!! LOL

Leopard pattern was quite norm in nail art world. But honestly I never done it before. Yet it was super simple todo.

For the base I combined few colours to make the gradient more colourful. Sponge it and later add in the leopard pattern.



Quite happy with the result. But hate the cleaning part of the sponge effect. As you can see from the photo, I done a terrible job of cleaning the sides. (~_~)




Happy trying!

The products I used, Pink, Yellow, Orange and blue nail lacquer was TheFaceShop which including the black nail pen. The apple green was bought from recent Beauty Fair @ KLCC and the mini orange nail lacquer was OPI - from James Bond set. And lastly the sponge that I used to create the gradient effect.

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.

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!!

Scratch mani box again!!

The content of the Mani Box

Yes, I subscribed the Scratch's Mani box again. Hahaha think I'm too addicted to it jor.

This month featured Luanna Perez-Garreaud, a fashion stylist and a blogger for a popular style blog LeHappy.


This month mani box was pretty generous. Beside studs, a mini polish and a ring were included. I love the Color Club nail lacquer, it was smooth and the colour was very vivid. Hehe after put it on, I suddenly want to paint a galaxy on top and pair it with the La Lune nail wrap.

A beautiful velvet blue from Color Club nail lacquer #1001 Williamsburg
The nail polishes I used to create the galaxy nail art. Small cut-off sponges to dab the colours. But mine was makeup sponge which was not too suitable for the desired effect. 

I google a tutorial at Youtube (which have hundreds of choices!) and found one pretty simple to follow by #Zombiekitty
Tatadah! My end result of the Galaxy nail art. Ok mah? It was quite easy todo, just simply use the sponge to layer the colours to create a nebula effect

Final result : Galaxy Nail Art with The Scratch 's nail wrap. 

I got featured again! So happy.
