More Fun Stuffs about Glitters

Good morning! I have here some knowledge about glitters which I think are very worth sharing. Have you ever had times when you wonder if it is your application technique or the glitter bottle just holds too little glitters? Well, I know I did wondered that. And off I go to google - tap tap tip tap tap pap! what is the best way to apply glitter?

Oh what a realization moment dawn upon me when I saw the dabbing technique. No wonder it was so hard getting those glitters on my nails those days. I was probably doing it wrong! Perhaps not wrong, just not the best way it could be done. Here's one tutorial I find very useful regarding the dabbing technique:

wait, did any of you actually know of this method and no one told me? whyyyy?? *sobs*

Sandwich, please?

A few days ago I found a very pretty lime green, its not too neon for my skin colour. Just right, I suppose. Its a nail polish by Bloop. Unfortunately, I do not know what the colour code is or the real name of the colour. It's not stated anywhere on the bottle. So, if any of you know what the name of this colour is, do feel free to drop me a comment below about the name. For the time being, I'd just refer to this colour as lime green.

MYR 8.90

The brush is big and round. Application wise, smooth, no streaks, and super-duper glossy! However, it do require the usage of icy cold water dipping to prevent the bubbles. Drying time, normal. 

When I did the first coat, the first thing that came into my mind was "wow, this is going to be great for those sandwich nail art that I've been seeing around on the world wide web".

And that was exactly what I did for today's NOTD; A Green Lime Jelly Sandwich.

Ingredients:

Base Coat

Bloop Nail Polish

Sheng Ji #58 (review here)

Bowl of Icy Cold Water (optional)

Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri Anti Chip Top Coat (or your favourite top coat)

Method:

1. Prepare nails with base coat. Let dry. (lol)

2. Start off with a good thin coat of Bloop Nail Polish. Let Dry.

3. Apply a coat of Sheng Ji #58 on every nails and allow drying time.

4. Apply another coat of Bloop Nail Polish onto the glitters. Allow polish to dry. 

(If result is satisfactory, you may stop here. If not, feel free to repeat step 3 and 4). 

5. Season your sandwich with a good layer of Sally Hansen's Top Coat. And you are done!

*Optonal: Dipped your hands into a bowl of icy cold water in between layers to speed up drying time and prevent bubblings. 

So, how do you like the sandwich? I had fun executing it though, and looking forward to make more to see the different results it could bring. :D 

A Glittering Review

Good Morning!

Along with the Bandi polishes, I've purchased two more polishes which are from Pretty2U outlet of Sunway Pyramid. Honestly, I was there to look for a warm grey nail polish but failed to find a suitable one. Instead, I've gotten myself two glittery top coats! :D

Sheng Ji nail polish, well, I'm guessing its a brand from China since there were a lot of chinese characters on it. Well, since I can't read chinese characters, I am not sure what the name of this glitter is. I looked down and saw the number 50, its colour code I guess? Moving on, this is somewhat of silverish-gold glitters. They looked very pretty in the bottle. Yes, in the bottle... I'd show you what I mean:

*Sigh* They looked full in the bottle, who would have guessed that it's going to be so loose; the glitters I mean. I may have to resort to manually putting on the glitters with dotting tools. In the pictures above, I've used Sheng Ji #50 over Bandi Mineral Green.

Last but not least, Sheng Ji #58. Its a bottle full of multi-coloured glitters! Now that is something different to buy! I mean, I know I've seen many stunning indie polishes available online but I don't get to see multi-coloured glitters such as this one in Malaysia! I grabbed it right away!

I seriously love this multi-coloured glitter nail polish! Yes they are rather hard to get on the nails, but I love them all the same. The power of "rare"? hahahaha!! In the pictures above, Sheng Ji #58 over Skin Food BR612.

Overall, I am quite satisfied with these two polishes. Can't complain much since I got both of them at the price of MYR 10.00. I like that both these polishes comes with clear lacquer base. Makes mixing and matching a whole lot more flexible. So yes, and the fact that I can find a colourful glitter polish at such a price really made my day!

Here's a short review/swatch what's on my nails before adding those wonderful colourful glitters.

Skin Food's nail vita nail polishes have great formulas and the brushes are big. Skin Food BR612, is a shimmery-foil-like finish. Its rather dark gold colour. But they do take some time to dry its not too long, you can always speed up the process by dipping your nails into a bowl of icy cold water :)

Do you like multi-coloured glitters like I do?

Update: Recently I've realised that Sheng Ji #50 wrinkles up upon using a top coat over it.
