Nails: OPI Retro Fun in The Sun Collection

*Updates: (30/04) All swatches added. Ps paron me for the sloppy swatches ok? Had to do them in a hurry :X

OPI Calendar Girl

OPI Give Me A Coral Sometime

OPI Sit Under the Apple Tree

OPI Peach-A-Boo

OPI Lemonade Stand By Your Man

OPI Sea Ya Later, Sailor

There are a total of 6 colours in this collection and I badly wanted to swatch all of them but I was simply too busy to do so. *Sigh* So I shall just post the two which I have swatched first and I shall try to post the remaining 4 as soon as I can managed it.

Anyway, just some thoughts on this collection:

1. They are amazingly interesting and fun! They all contain really fine shimmers in them. Sea Ya Later, Sailor is, in my opinion, the most interesting of the lot. *I admit I may be biased here because I am developing this really strong attachment to any polishes that are blue :X* SYL,S contains this bright blue shimmers that reflect pink or purple under different angle. Honestly, I don't know how to describe the colour and the picture I tried very hard to take did not do the polish justice so I can only conclude that you have to buy it to see what I mean. LOL.



2. They have variety in colours. Some collections either contain too many reds or too many pinks in the same collection. However, you actually get 6 different colours out of the 6 polishes available in this collection. Isn't that great? There're a blue, a green, a yellow, a red, a peach, a coral and a red.



3. The polishes are generally all pretty sheer on application. So to use it on its own, I would advise at least 3 coats if you want to cover up the white tips of your nails. I feel that these babies will be great as layering polishes.



4. They are very easy to apply as the polishes are pretty thin. They're also very easy to remove.

I am really happy that I got these nail polishes because I LOVE bright colours! I can't stop staring at my nails whenever I painted on bright colours! What can I say? Bright nails just make my day! Haha!

Bad weather.. sick..

Goodness gracious.. Just bear with my random ranting in this entry ya? The weather has been really crazy lately.. The heat is really getting very unbearable.. As a result, I feel sick. :( I feel so weak the couple of days but luckily I am starting to feel better. Dear BF went to the United States of America for a holiday!~ Can you imagine?! I was pretty sure I turned a very ugly shade of green. Haha!~ But well at least he was really sweet about it. ^^ He got me many bottles of China Glaze and OPI nail polishes!~ I just received them and I am really excited. I just have to muster enough energy to paint them on. *sigh*

My dear sister borrowed my camera for the day so I can't take pictures of those lovely polishes but I will be back to post some pictures once I have my camera back. Thanks for putting up with my nonsensical ranting haha.

Nails: OPI Just Groovy, Blue Moon Lagoon Swatches

Right: OPI Just Groovy

Hehe, as promised in my previous entry, here are the swatches. Pictures speak louder than words. Look at the fake nail in the middle. It's so pretty isn't it? BML (pls pardon me for the use of abbreviation, I got tired of typing the names over and over LOL) didn't take away the orginal beautiful colour of JUst Groovy right? Instead it made Just Groovy much more fascinating!~ ^^

OPI Blue Moon Lagoon in bottle

Yes I know I am fickle but I can't help it. I found ANOTHER love. LOL. I got this old OPI called Just Groovy from some time back and I used to adore this colour. I still likes it alot but I sorta got bored of it because it's a cream finish. But well OPI Blue Moon Lagoon entered the picture and BAM was I hook! Blue Moon Lagoon is pretty sheer when it comes to colour intensity but it's such an inteesting colour!!! It has this silvery blue tint and very very fine gold shimmers! When I applied this on top of Just Groovy, it didn't take away the original colour of the Just Grovvy but instead made it more interesting. Can you imagine how excited I was when I discovered that?! Hahaha!

I truly HIGHLY recommend OPI Blue Moon Lagoon polishes to everyone! Honestly, you will not regret getting it. It's very pretty on its own and it can be used as a top coat to add shimmers to your other creme polishes. It's pretty hard to find but you ladies can buy it from http://nailsloveopi.com/ like I did. ^^ For blue nail polish lovers, do check out Just Groovy too ^^ it's from the Psychedelic Summer Collection. :P It should be available on http://nailsloveopi.com/ too.

Anyway, I wanted to take some swatches to show you ladies what I meant but I love my current nail designs too much to take i off and swatch so I will give you ladies the detailed swatches later using fake nails. ^^

Here's what I did on my nails in order:

• Orly Ridgefiller Base Coat
• OPI Just Groovy Nail Polish
• OPI Blue Moon Lagoon Polish
• Dab a couple of drops of Silkygirl while nail polish on a piece of paper
• Using an fine eyeliner brush, swirl brush in while nail polish for a couple of seconds
• Dab 5 dots of nail polish onto nails forming the 5 petals of a flower (refer to no. 1 on diagram below)
• Using a toothpick, scrap off some nail polish from the centre of the dots outwards as demonstrated by the lines in no. 2 on the diagram below.
• Using the other end of the tooth pick swirl it in any green/yelloy polish (I used OPI Sit Under the Apple Tree) and apply a single dot in the centre of the 5 dots.
• Apply Seche Vite Fast Drying Top Coat (*Grin* we are done!)

Nails: China Glaze For Audrey (Tiffany Inspired Colour) <3

I am in love! IN LOVE! Lol.

Look at how pretty For Audrey is!! It's really very very close to the tiffany colour isn't it? I love it. I actually only need ONE coat to get the colour very opaque. It's great stuff! I really highly recommend everyone out there to get at least one bottle of this if not a backup at least as China Glaze has the habit of discontinuing nail colours!

You ladies can order this from a lovely lady on her website http://nailsloveopi.com/ Do support her! I have tried out her service and it's great. A very honest and sincere seller so you don't have to worry about the authencity of the goods. :)

Nails: Hot Pink Nails with Zebra Print Tips

Without Top Coat


With Top Coat



I was browsing through Youtube and I came across this makeup guru Julieg713. She's a nail genius honestly. This was a replica of her idea so credits belong to her. I basically just recreate it. It's my first time I did everything free hand so I know it's pretty messy but I had a good practise~ :)
I used OPI That's Hot! Pink with Revlon new shade Black Lingerie and Silky Girl every Glossy White nail polish to achieve this look. Do search for Julieg713 on youtube to check out her tutorial, it's superb but here's the basic steps.

1. Put on base coat. (I use Orly Ridgefiller Primer Basecoat)
2. Put on hot pink nail polish (Or any color you desire)
3. Wait for pink lacquer to dry alittle (approx 5 min)
4. Paint on black nail polish along the tips like French Manicure (Make the black tip broad :))
5. Wait for black polish to dry (approx 3-5 min)
6. Using a striper brush or eyeliner brush randomly paint on the white stripes on the black polish to make the tip resemble zebra prints :)
7. Wait for the lacquer to dry then apply top coat. :)

Nails: OPI Kreme de la Kremlin

OPI Kreme de la Kremlin on Nails


Very pretty neutral colour that can be worn every day. It's a brownish-mauvish red? LOL. It's very muted I must say and it came with the famous OPI prowide brush which makes it very easy on application.

The Prowide brush is really very dense so it picks up the enamel very very well. But I don't really love it but that's because I have a problem. LOL. I have very narrow nails so the prowide brush usually end up brushing against the flesh at the sides of my nails. :( I had a had tie trying to clean 'em up. But being OPI, it's great stuff. It dries up very evenly. Colour is very pigmented and I got really opaque nails with just one coat. It's really hard to go wrong with OPI.

Anyway, enough of my rambling. Ladies, please do check out this awesome ebay seller store http://stores.ebay.com.sg/All-NailsLoveOPI-Beauty-Shoppe I got a couple of China Glaze and OPI nail polishes from her and I tell you her service is great. She's very reliable and she has such a wide variety to choose from!~ I am not related to her so I am recommending her store because I am genuinely happy with her service so go check her store out. ^^ I will post up some pictures of my nail polish haul soon :)

I LOVE PEEPERMINT PATTI!~

The sugarsweet collection is launched at DFS already and I can't help but get this colour!~ It's absolutely gorgeous!~ I used 2 coats. It doesn't go on as smoothly as the nail lacquer from the Hello Kitty Collection during the 1st coat but the 2nd coat managed to even eveything out. My nail colour looked really opaque and even by them. LOVE~

Nail: My First Nail Design~

My first nail design!~ Lol. It's nothing fantastic of course but I am happy I tried. I used MAC on the Prowl to draw diagonal stripe across OPI Heart Throb. Then I pasted some nail art stickers which I bought years ago over the diagonal stripe!~ :P

Guess what? These babies just retail at beautycrunch.com at USD 12 per set? Can you imagine? It's just freaking cheap. But anyway I got these from a very nice online shop called thechicshop. You can check out the online shop at http://thechicshop.wordpress.com
They retail at $45 per set. Great service. My BF got these for me as my monthly anniversary gifts. :X

I will be back with EOTD and reviews. ^^ Til then..

Nails: OPI Heart Throb Nail Polish

OPI Heart Throb on nails

^^ My first OPI!~ It's called Heart Throb!~ LOL. My BF gave it to me because he said he wanted my heart to throb! Hahaha! He said he really likes the name of this and he got it for me. It's a very fitting name in my opinion. LOL. It's a very sweet, soft pink and it made me think of a bride. I think this is a great colour for brides/bridemaids on a wedding day! The colour is very subtle so I think it's great for everyday wear especially on a weekday. Also, it has a cream finish with just a little shine. Very pretty.

Being OPI, naturally the quality of the nail polish is great. Application was very smooth and the brush from the bottle is fantastic! It made application really easy!~ I really like the fact that the colour on my nail turned out to be the same as that in the bottle. Some nail polishes look really good in the bottle but the colour turned out differently on the nails. :X

However, the nail colour tend to be a little sheer. I had to apply three coat of polishes before the colour turn opaque enough to colour the white tip of my nails. I didn't really mind though because the polishes are pretty much fast drying so the extra coats didn't really bother me much.
