Miami Beet

Hello~ :) I hope you all enjoyed the little peek into my polishing world in the past few posts. Today I have for you one of the rarer colour shades in my collection - a red(ish) polish! This is two coats of OPI's Miami Beet. I was quite pleasantly surprised by it seeing as I wasn't expecting much, but yay, another red family polish which I like has been added to my collection! :) I'm going...

Polish spreadsheet

Although I can hardly say I'm an organised person, when it comes to nail polish, I'm super organised :P. I have a spreadsheet typed up on my laptop of all the nail polish in my collection. I thought I'd share the spreadsheet since people have been commenting on my giveaway form for some stash posts :). Photos of my stash can be seen here. There is also a tab I've added at the top of my page so that it will be easy to find this spreadsheet. Thanks for dropping by~ Sha...

My nail polish stash :)

One of the requests in my giveaway form is to post about my nail polish stash :). I've been on a no buy since the beginning of this year (and it's working! I haven't bought any polishes even though I've been tempted on several occasions :P) so I thought now would be a good time to share my stash. I keep my polishes in a clear rectangle container which I can shove under my bed and out of the way :P....

My work station

I'm away on camp this week so this is a scheduled post amongst others :). I thought it'd be a good idea to take the opportunity to share some 'behind-the-scenes'. To kick things off I have for you today a photo of my work station. It's by no means professional; I'm a student and have to make use of what I have unlike some bloggers who can dedicate an entire room to nail polish *jealous* :P. This...

Water marbling with holos

Hello~^^ I tried water marbling the other day with some holos; lets just say that they dry extremely fast o__o! I started off with one coat of Color Club's Wild at Heart as the base colour and then marbled with Revvvolution and Wild at Heart. Photos holding the polish bottle are taken indoors under natural light, the other two taken under sunlight. Left hand: My favourite...

Some 3D nail art

Earlier today, I saw Katrina's recent mani and had the urge to pull out my rhinestones and do something with them too :P. I used two coats of China Glaze's Light as air and Ulta3's spring shower in the mani. My topcoat totally bubbled on my left hand which is why I'm showing my right hand. It's not as apparent irl, but my camera picks up the tiniest detail - not handy this time....

Sally Hansen Nail Prisms - Diamond

Woooo, another gorgeous holo polish! :) Following the release of China Glaze's Tronica Collection, I thought I'd jump onto the holo bandwagon and show you an old but beautiful polish by Sally Hansen. Diamond is a silver holo polish with scattered holo effects. It's also quite thin and I could have probably used a third coat in my mani. The drying time however, was longer than...

Dot dot and dot

L.A. Colors is not a readily available polish brand for me in Australia which was why I was so excited when I spotted some of its polishes in a dollar shop a few months ago. One of the bottles I happened to pick up was Jungle Fever, a pretty teal shade. First photo is taken indoors under natural light and the second indoors with flash. Whilst I like the colour I can't say much for the polish....

Crystal, the mermaid?

Of all the gorgeous polishes there are out there, I think this is a must have. Zoya's Crystal was the stand out from their Flame collection and I'm so glad I caved in to buy this. I'm not big on blue polishes, but boy is it worthwhile to get your hands on this beauty! I applied three coats of Crystal and sealed it with a top coat. Photo was taken indoors under natural light. If you think...

December haul

December was a quiet month for me, I needed to recuperate from my splurging spree in November haha. My mum came back from her trip to Hong Kong, so I also got my hands on some lovely international polishes ^^. The first two photos are taken indoors under natural light and the Sally Hansen Nail Prisms are taken indoors with flash. Firstly, the polishes from Hong Kong :). I didn't specify which...

Skittles with flakies

After seeing 'chelle's mani, I knew I had to do some skittling of my own :). The polishes I used from thumb to pinky: Ulta3's watermelon, spring fling, spring blossom, China Glaze's Re-Fresh Mint and Ulta3's spring shower. I applied three coats of polish on my index to pinky and two coats on my thumb. Photo was taken with flash indoors, but I tweaked it a bit in photoshop to make the polishes more...

Flower nail art

I've finallyyyyyyyyyyy attempted some nail art again after almost a month. And I've totally lost my touch, the flowers don't look too brilliant. Still, I like the colour combination and I think the rhinestones add a little elegance to the manicure ^^. You can see that the flower on my pointer looks mutated; I accidentally smudged it somehow and didn't realise it until I looked at the photos....

Entering 2011 with a 'bling'

Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone had a blast bringing in the new year; I spent the last few hours of 2010 playing mahjong with family friends before settling back to watch the fantastic fireworks display. I decided to wave in 2011 with some flashy nails and what better polish can we find than glitter for this? :) This is three thin coats of Color Club's Magic Attraction and sealed with...
