Hi everyone~ The 'What I wore in HK' series has ended, told you it was super mini :P Instead, I have some surprise nail mail to share with you. When I came home from Hong Kong, I was expecting one nail package. To my surprise, I saw not one, not two, not even three, but FOUR nail packages sitting on my desk, just waiting to be opened! Of course, I ripped them open at once because really, who doesn't...

What I wore in HK #3 - Facets of Fuchsia
Hi ladies :) While in Hong Kong, I was lucky enough to spy Revlon Facets of Fuchsia while bin diving in Sasa. Since it's a cheap dupe to Deborah Lippmann Bad Romance, I bought it to try. I found the polish to be thin and gloopy at the same time and applied three thin coats of the polish in the photos below. I had to wait awhile in between coats or the polish would drag and lump at the tips of...

What I wore in HK #2 - A gorgeous layering
Hello everyone~ What do you get when you layer a pink base glitter flake over a dark blue polish? Why, a drop dead gorgeous mani of course!
I started off with two coats of OPI Road house blues. It's a lovely dark blue which has a purple tint to it which my camera unfortunately wasn't able to capture. I then took OPI I lily love you and layered on one coat over the base colour. I was soooooooooo...

What I wore in HK #1
Hi ladies~I thought I'd do a mini series on the manis I wore in Hong Kong, using the polishes I bought whilst there :P When I say mini, I mean super mini - I think there are only three manis haha! I'll start things off with a simple mani using Etude House WH702. I picked up this pretty in one of the small boutique stores at Argyle Centre, Mong Kok. They had more to select from but I was a really good...

An electrifying mani...who doesn't love flakies? ♥
Hey everyone~ This is a mani I wore before I left for Hong Kong. I don't know why I didn't post this earlier, it's just so stunning and gorgeous ♥ I know I've previously shown this combination before but I loved it so much I had to wear it again.
I started off with two coats of China Glaze First mate and then layered over it a coat of Nubar 2010. For some reason, First mate came out...

My Hong Kong haul
Hi ladies! I was able to pick up some nail polishes during my trip to Hong Kong. While this isn't a huge haul (I was good and only picked up polishes I really wanted!), it has fulfilled my goal to pick up some Asian (read Korean :P) brands as well as welcome into my stash some OPIs I have been lemming but was unable to get my hands on.
Firstly, some OPIs I have had my eyes on for...

Spring...or summer flowers?
Hello hello :) I have a summery mani to show you all today hehe. I used Ulta3 Spring shower, Australis Rub-a-dub-dub and China Glaze Light as air as the base colours for the stripes :) I then used a nail art striper to add the thin silver glitter stripes before sticking on some flower nail stickers from Born Pretty Store.
What do you think of this mani? ^^
Thanks for dropping...

An everyday Christmas glitter
Hey everyone! Recently, I was lucky enough to win a giveaway hosted by Salla over at Polish-em :) One of the polishes I received was China Glaze Tinsel town. Even though it was part of the China Glaze's holiday Let it snow collection, this polish is totally suitable for everyday wear! :D These gunmetal grey glitters were a hit at the end of 2011 and I'm loving it lots and lots and lots......

A girly mani...for Valentine's Day?
Hello everyone~ This is the last of my scheduled posts ^^ As you're reading this, I'm probably scrambling around doing my last minute packing and hoping that my luggage doesn't weigh over 20kg :P And of course, already missing Hong Kong as well! That's right, I'm finally flying back to Australia. *teary eyes* Anyway!
This mani didn't go the way I had intended it to haha. Maybe it was the...

A silver that's not silver?
Hi ladies! Today I have my first ever Maxfactor nail polish :) It was gifted to me by a friend who wanted to clean out her stash...I was a very willing recipient! Shown in the photos are two coats of Silver. I don't get why it's called silver when the base is quite plainly a brown shade...although I do like the silver shimmer it gives off.
Does it annoy you when nail polish companies...
