Christmas Poinsettia

Merry Christmas everyone! I know its soooo late but I often feel Christmas comes way too slow and goes way too fast! Hahaha! Can't blame it, I guess. Considering the calender says, only one day for Christmas and approximately 364 days of waiting for it. Hahahaha!! 

So, what look did you sport for Christmas this year? :)

Fizzy Cherries with Polishville

PRODUCTS SENT BY PR

Hey everyone! It's clearly been awhile since my last post. I do apologize for being so sporadic in my postings this year. My sister is getting married (Woohoo!!) end of this year so I've been really busy whole year through! Hahaha!

Today, I have another post collaboration with Polishville. They have sent me three OPI minis from OPI Coca-Cola Collection. Haha!! They marked my first ever OPI Minis! Sooo adorable ^_^ !

So... I Got A Gift!

Hey everyone! These images of this beautiful polish has been sitting way too long in my folders. Its by time I show it to you all. This was gifted to me by my wonderful bestie :) And what's more? Its kinda like twinsies, cause we both have the same polish ♥ ^.^

My dear bestie, being the sweet girl she is, she never fails to put a smile on my face while reading all the lovely words she wrote. In the above caption, she wrote: "Let God's light shine through the gloomy days!". I couldn't agree more with that. Love that beautiful reminder. How often we go through days forgetting that even through the darker journeys of our lives, God is still in control and is there for us and have something planned for us - always. 

Well, well...

Good Morning everyone! Today's post is one I debated for awhile - the same one that I had somewhat hinted, few days back. I suppose if you're a blogger and you are reading this, you would agree that blogging isn't as easy as it seemed. Preparing a post could very well be time consuming - the planning process, the execution, preparing contents, the editing, yada... yada.. Basically, there's a lot that goes into the making of one single post just so that the content would be something worth reading (sorta).

So what happens when you received an email from another requesting you to guest post and you took the time and effort despite in busy situation, to meet with the scheduled time only to realised, he/she has probably changed his/her mind and no longer wants to post your stuff? I may seem like jumping into conclusions, it can't be helped, really. It's been almost 3 months since the scheduled date and up till now, there's no updates or whatsoever. Assuming he/she isn't interested anymore... why ask if you are not sincere about it? Hahahah! Besides, the scheduled date was set according to mutual agreement. So.. I don't know. But here's what I think, in my humble opinion, if one wishes to extend the date or has decided my content is not worth it anymore, is it not a common courtesy to notify me? Or are common courtesies so rare these days its not common anymore? (quoting my nephew, he has a valid point there hahaha!) Lols. I sincerely hope such people are not in a mindset of when time goes by things or situations will just fade away...slide away and slip away and far away...and disappears..... *poof!* o.O

Inspired by Crabtree & Evelyn

Beautiful Wednesday, yes? :) Today's nail art is inspired by Crabtree & Evelyn's beautiful packaging. If you've been reading the past few posts, you would have read that I had intentions to attempt nail arts inspired by them. This, however, was not the intended attempt. But Crabtree & Evelyn, Malaysia recently held this "Take a Picture" contest. Where participants have to take a photo of three single products in the most creative way. There will be 10 winners who get to win the 3 products they featured in their photo. 

Garden of Roses

Hey everyone! This post will be one specially dedicated to showcase my mother's nails! Haha! We had quite a wonderful weekend. She got her nails done and a quick feet spa! And I won a pair of earrings! Hahaha! I was super happy to find out I was the winner. Eh, but my ears' holes closed a long time ago and I was too lazy to pierce them again. Sooo, those earrings that I've won, will be going to my Mom :) 

Out of Frame

Hello! :) It finally rained yesterday and haze has cleared up quite a lot. Praise God for that! Today I'd be showing you a nail art I did last week and wore over the weekend. It is inspired by this photo. I love the setting of the photo as well as the colours and the atmosphere it gives - a little bit industrial and a little bit mysterious. 

Little Poppies

Good afternoon to you! It's been a week since my last update (sorry!) but I have yet another inspiration found on etsy! This is the picture I was inspired by. I thought the poppies looks really lovely! 

I have been wanting to do a poppy inspired nail art but have always been procrastinating. With the help of the inspiration, I finally got it done. Haha!

This is a very simple nail art. I started off with two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls as base. Using a striping brush, I drew the stems of the flowers. Then I proceed with dotting flowers and leaves with dotting tool. For the index, thumb and pinky, I used the brush from the black polish to do an irregular french tip - mimicking the look of the scarf. 

   

In general, I think poppy flowers are very beautiful. I love the name actually. Hahahaha! Very catchy indeed! Anyway, that is it for today. I hope you like them. And hopefully I'd be able to get at least another post up this week. Hahaha! 

Nail polishes used:

• OPI - My Boyfriend Scales Walls
• Naga 2 Way Art Pen (Black striper)
• Revlon - Revlon Red
• Revlon - Pretty In Papaya
• Etude House - GR605
• Etude House - Ultra Green
• Holika Holika - Black

Tools used:

• Dotting tool

Mix 'n Match 'Em!

Happy Monday everyone! As promised, here is the NOTD for today! It's inspired by this picture I saw from Etsy Finds. I love how they have staged their products and the beautiful mix of different elements in the photo which makes the photo absolutely arty and eye catching. 

One Bumble Bee

It's Saturday! Good Morning! 

I hope your weekend is starting great! Today's NOTD is inspired by this picture I saw on pinterest. I felt like doing something yellow inspired and stumbled on that picture on pinterest. I'm not too sure why, but there's something about the black dotted ribbon that captures my attention so. Hahaha! 

More Ice-Creams!

Hello! As much as I always seem to be complaining about Malaysia's hot hot hot weather, I'm super grateful for it too. Because, hey! It could have been worst :) And due to our hot and humid weather, one can never run out of reasons to dive for a good ice-cream treat! Recently I discovered Liquid Nitrogen Gas ice-creams while on a window shopping treat, and guess what? They are the best ice-creams I've ever tasted so far! The smooth texture is irresistible! So I've done two notd, (they are the same though..) inspired by ice-creams (not really). 

The Five China Glaze I Owned

Hello fellow readers! I shall warn you ahead this is going to be a long post! ;) There's quite a lot I want to say, and there is no obligation in reading though. Hehe! 

Somewhere in March, I've actually made my first ever purchase of China Glaze polishes. It's quite crazy, as it didn't hit me they were my firsts until I was on my way home and feeling all excited about my very worthwhile buy. Then I got extra hyped! Lol!! 

I am uncertain how many of you would do this, but I've been loitering around China Glaze counters looking for possible colours that would interest me and checking out which collection they carry or don't. More often than not, I'd end up leaving that place empty handed, but still loiter about there again the next time I happened to pass by. And then, during my random yet frequent loitering in the month of March, I noticed a polish I've never noticed before (busy looking for blues all those times), Fairy Dust. Omgosh! So pretty!!! And it has scatter holo properties! What the heck, why I've never set eyes on this before! The salesgirl there was kind enough to assist and let me know it was priced about MYR 30.00. Apparently it was under best buys. I looked around a little more and decided to only get Fairy Dust, then she notified me that buying two, they give Pom Pom as a free gift. OH! Sounds good! I wasn't too sure what else to get, but I finally settled for Optical Illusion (also under best buys) which I do know it's from the Prismatic Collection last year. And to my lovely surprise, I was also given a free pouch! Neat!

Queen of Hearts

Good Afternoon! (do not like the sun. wish it rained the whole day. lol)

Remember the Nail Art Contest I told you about over at Nails by Kayla Shevonne? After a long while brainstorming on ideas to execute, I've finally came up with one that's inspired by Tim Burton's Queen of Hearts. I didn't take the everything into the nail art, mainly the corset and a little bit of the skirt, with of course, a few touches and additions of my own. 

Hauls from Australia Part 3

Hey you! :) 

This is the last post of Australia Haul. And I'm planned to finish it with a bang! (or I hope I did). I have 3 very lovely full sized Chi Chi Polishes to show you plus 1 from Sally Hansen. Haha, poor fellow - lost in the midst of Chi Chi(s). Hahaha! [warning: heavy post!]

Little Watermelon Seeds

Hello friends! While taking a little time off swatching, I have a quick and simple manicure to share with you today. It is a look that was inspired by a watermelon makeup I saw on pinterest. Here's the thing, things are so viral these days, especially for people who have gain recognition and their work have spread like wild fire around the net. As a result? The original poster or the one to credit got lost somewhere. And believe me tracking down the real artist sure is time consuming - but worth it. Without further ado, my nails today were inspired by a watermelon makeup done by the very talented Cristina Otero. She has many more beautiful makeups and they are all very inspirational! 

Hauls from Australia Part 2

Hey ya! Today I'd be bombarding you with lots of pictures once again. How have your week been so far? I do apologise for the lack of posts. I'd try to post as frequent as possible. ;P

Sketchy Valentine

Hello everyone! And to all of you who have yet to know, Kelsie of Kelsie's Nail Files is holding a a giveaway as well as a nail art contest to celebrate her 1 year blogiversary! Congratulations, Kelsie! 

For Kelsie's nail art contest, contestants are to create a manicure inspired by something on her Nail Inspiration Pinterest board and she had so many that are inspiring but I finally decide to be inspired by this picture : 

Shades of Triangles

Hey everyone! Today's nails are inspired by all the beautiful triangle pattern prints that's been around for quite sometime. I've been wanting to get try create those repetitive triangle patterns but didn't have the courage to do so. Every time the thought of doing it pops up, I simply brush/push it away with this very excuse that goes in my head : It's going to be tedious, you're going to lose patience. You're not going to get the lines straight anyway. 

Well, my usual brush, although at size 0, was still too thick to attempt such designs. But ever since I modified one of my old nylon brush, I don't see why not! So, I finally sat down and gave it a go. 

Fresh Start!

Gooooood Morning! How is your first week of new year so far? Since we're still New Year-ing (or at least I am), I wanted to do a nail look that says somewhere along fresh or refreshing. Well, new year, new life, new everything! So I guess, nothing beats the feeling of starting out freeeessh! And I'm glad to say it was pretty much a success :) 

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Hi everyone! I have here the 11th of 12 Christmas Nails Series. And its inspired by the very song titled "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" the one particularly sung by Dean Martin. I love this song. One of my favourites for Christmas, like a classic. Always puts me into Christmas mood anytime! And despite its title, this song makes me all fuzzy and warm just by listening to it. My favourite stanza in this song is:

When we finally kiss good night

How I'll hate going out in the storm!

But if you'll really hold me tight

All the way home I'd be warm

Sigh Its a really cute Christmas song in my opinion. Hahaha! I sure do wish malls these days would play more of these good old songs.
