Smitten By Pinks?

Hello!! I'm here and I'm going to pretend I've not been away for sometime. Haha! Wow, look at the time fly! Many things has happened, and among the "new" is my growing Pink Stuffs. Just for clarity sake, I don't and never have hated pink. I simply don't prefer them on me. Looking back, I don't have many pink memories. I do however, remember a few. I vividly remember picking out a pair of shoe with pink shoelaces during one of my pre-school days. I remembered I loved a pink hairband which I wore it almost every time, especially on occasions -- until I carelessly left it at a playground *sigh*. Trust me, I was sad for a period of time. At the age of 12, I spotted a pink three quartered sleeved turtle neck shirt and fell in love. It was probably the only pink shirt I had that I'll say I looked good in it every time I wore it. Hahaha! But since then, I haven't been able to identify much with pink hues. 

To date, I have only two pink clothes in my closet. A tank top which so far, I've only wore once. And a saturated dark pink cardigan which I love and wear it when I need a pop of colour to my outfit. Recently, I've been adding more pinks, a few pink nail polishes and a pink luggage bag. *Sigh* The luggage bag, I was deceived under warm lighting. Tricked to think it has more yellow hue. When I saw the bag under natural daylight I felt a pang of regret. Comforted myself that at least it was a bargain (got it at half price). And at least I'll know that it is my bag when I have to collect it. (Let's do a quick survey, would you buy a pink luggage bag?) Looking at the bag now under natural artificial light, its not that bad. It's still a bold pink, fortunately, do lean on the warmer side and I'm actually liking it more and more. Lols! So I guess things didn't turn out that bad after all.

Speaking of pinks, two weeks ago I sported simple bright pink gradients on my nails featuring some of my newly added pinks. The nails were somewhat of nail fail. Hahaha! I was aiming for the look by Maria of SoNailicious. Clearly, I have to work on my technique a little bit more. Will give this gradient a go again, sometime. Hope to succeed the next try. :)

Though this was a simple look, I've been loving it on my nails. They are simply bright and eye-catching! Always love neons like these. So bright, that they are literally glowing or seem to be emitting lights! Hahaha! Just pure neon goodness! :D

Well, ending today's post with some spider's legs pose! Haha! Calling them that simply because they really do resemble garden spiders. Haha!! It's really funny how for the longest time I sincerely thought me liking pink when I was young was strictly a "young-time-thing". Looks like there's a Pink Revival in me, lols! And I'm pretty sure the nail-community is to be blamed ;) In a good way though. Anyway, early this month I've managed to grab hold of new lamps for photos. So hopefully, with more flexibility of time at hand, I'll be able to speed up on swatches. So yes, that's all for today. ^_^
