NOTD Water Marbling

I was looking through Instagram and saw lots of water marbling nails that are oh-so-pretty. Thought I would try it out myself after looking at some Youtube tutorials.

Right hand

It was quite difficult to do, taking a total of 2 hours for me to complete the whole thing. What I found out was that cheap nail polishes are not suitable for this technique. It just won't spread when dropped into the water. The nail polishes that worked were OPI and China Glaze.

I quite like the end result and may attempt more of this technique in future :) Thanks for reading!

Essence Colour & Go - Nude It!

Looks similar to my skin tone on first coat. A little darker upon second coat. The picture below is 2 coats without any top coat. Lovely :)

NOTD - The Face Shop

Did a NOTD with this dark maroon-red polish from The Face Shop.

My fingers looked bruised here. Don't know why. Two coats of polish without top coat. In fact, it looks a little black in the photo.

 The polish bottle against my current nail polish remover from Elianto. This remover doesn't have the strong smell which usually comes from remover. Instead, it's strawberry-scented which is quite yummylicious =)

Polish in RD303. Hope you enjoyed this short post!

NOTD: Etude House Petit Darling Nails in PK005

Tested the Etude House Petit Darling Nails in PK005.

I would describe it as a rose pink shade? I'm not really good at naming colours, I only know the basic ones. *embarrassed*

Last Haul Before November Comes

This is my last haul before my next pay day! Some stuff i got from Watsons:


Palmer's Olive Body Butter & Good Look hair mousse

The body butter has a really refreshing smell which i liked a lot. Initially wanted to get some lotion but saw this and thought of trying it. It is really moisturizing and has anti aging peptide complex (whatever that means). The hair mousse is really affordable, only $5.90 as compared to other brands like L'oreal, Sexy Girl, etc, which are usually above $10. However, it doesn't really hold my curls and tend to make them frizzy. Boo..I'll just stick to my styling gel (will post a picture of it next time).

Some face products: Activa Brightening Mask (less than $3), Fairy Drops Mascara (!!) & Biore Cleansing Oil Cotton Sheets.


The Cleansing Oil cotton sheets really work wonders. I usually buy the small packet as it's more convenient and i can just toss it in my gym bag. It's cheap as well. Around $3.

I really really like the packaging of Fairy Drops coz it's pink! The wand is unique, as you can see on the cover. I have not opened it yet, but have tried the demo at Watsons. I think it's pretty good. Perhaps i could do a review of this against another brand of mascara.


Ending my post with a NOTD. This is done with one of the $1 nail polish. This color is really sweet in person (i mean the color, not me, hehe).

The texture is bad, not smooth at all, creates streaks and worst of all, the polish in the bottle is drying. This is just the first application! That's the result of $1 nail polish i guess >.<

NOTD & Esprique Precious

Oh..the weekend passes by so quickly. It's already Sunday night, tomorrow is a new working week. I am dreading it =p I was at BHG Bugis yesterday and they were having the bi-annual super sale. Almost everything was on sale and you get rebate vouchers for cosmetic and fragrance products buys. I so wanted to get something but unfortunately was short on time as i was catching a movie.

Anyway, i managed to go back today to satisfy the shopaholic in me. =D

At first, i wanted to get the Coffret D'or eye makeup pallete but the SA is totally unfriendly. I moved over to the Kose counter and the SA at least spoke to me in a decent manner. Wonder what's up with these SAs in BHG? I bought the Esprique Precious pallete in T-5 and also some Bourjois products. Bourjois SA is so much better!

Here are my hauls:

I asked the SA to recommend me some colours for daily look and she said T-5 should be good. It is also a limited edition colour. I asked her to demo it on my eyes but she can't do so as it was the sales period. She did ask me to go back after the sales so she could do it for me. Not bad!

I got a blusher and 2 mini nail polish from Bourjois . The mini items are too cute to resist. I have been eying these for some time now. Finally got it.

Left to right: Blush in 15 Rose Eclat, mini polish in 15 Breakfast a Londres (a pale beige with shimmers) and 38 Diner a Paris (a dark brown with shimmers).

The blusher came with a brush inside.Swatch. Isn't it pretty?

My NOTD. It's a bit pale don't you think? This is after 2 coats.
I added some crystals to add some pizazz to it. =)
Sorry about the crooked nail. Have broken it some time ago and waiting for it to grow back.
Happy new week and cheers~
