♡ Mani Monday ♡

So since starting up a tumblr account I've been posting my outfit of the day and nail of the day there. But after trying to stick it out for a bit, I'm not a huge fan of tumblr. So I'm just gonna update what color my nails have been the last few weeks.
This was last weeks nails. ChiChi's Wednesday as a black base and Gone Gonzo! on the top
I finally managed to apply this polish, with much difficulty I might add. This was two coats and it took forever to dry. Once it did try and I made sure it was completely dry, I went to bed and the next morning it had like tiny scratches and fabric marks on it. So even though the top layer was dry, the polish it self was still vulnerable to pressure or something. I'm not too sure, this polish is pretty unsatisfying to me and I wouldn't spend money on this. 
The week before that I had my Revlon's Sheer Blossom as a light sheer pink base and OPI's Teenage Dream pink glitter tips 
Just a simple grey color with glitter tip. OPI's Skull and glossbones
I didn't get a chance to take a snap shot of my nails before I went to Sydney since I did them like 2-3hrs before boarding the plan and I didn't use a top coat. So when I got home these are the horrendous looking nails I was left with after 3 days lol OPI's Sparrow me the Drama and OPI's Rainbow Connection

This was one of my favorite manicures I had last month, mainly because it surprised me how much I liked it. The red just came out really nicely for the season and the glitter tips just fancied it up. When I first ordered this polish I was super excited because the bottle looked like it would be a really pretty hot pink, I didn't really look any further into it and search for swatches but when I received it in the mail and swatched it myself I was disappointed at how red it actually was. I put off using it for a long time because I was disappointed. I don't know what came over me that day but I decided to use it and I really love how it turned out. I wanna paint my nails this again but I afraid that it might not be as pretty the second time around, since sometimes first impressions are better plus my nails are shorter now so maybe this looked better with long nails. I don't know lol 
I think we are all caught up now.

✰ NOTD and some exciting NEWS ✰

I honestly could not decide what to paint my nails tonight. I hate indecisive days like these :( 
I went from this Revlon ColorStay pink polish in 060 Cafe' Pink which I really don't like the formula of it. I love the colour but it goes on streaky and it's hard to apply. 

Then I went with this Raspberry colour that has undertones of purple shimmer, in person it was a bit darker than this picture shows, but I just wasn't feeling in the mood for that colour. 
So finally, I decided to paint them this pretty blue colour that has hints of purple hue and on my ring finger, I changed it up with a vibrant pop of pink








The blue colour is Essie's Lapis of Luxury on the right and the pink is OPI's Shorts Story on the left








EXCITING NEWS 
IM GOING TO SYDNEY!!! 
Tickets have been booked and I'm leaving next Saturday the 19th. I'll be back on the following Tuesday so I won't be gone for long. ANDDD guess which airline I'm flying with...... that's right! JET:P 


I am super excited about this mini holiday trip! I get to catch up with a girl that always seems to getting me into trouble and put me into bad situations but I always end up having fun :) and another wonderful girl who is the most darling person ever! I'm not really going to sight see too much since I've been to Sydney before, I'm mainly going to see my friends and really take advantage of the low prices flights are at right now. YIPPIEEE!!! XD


I'm super lazy right now so I'm gonna do the rest of this post which is going to be on the new Revlon products and current favourites, at a later date haha.

♡ NOTD ♡

I changed my nails... AGAIN!!! har harrr
The Teenage Dream glitter + Black Shatter nail polish took FOREVER to remove so I just wanted to go with something simple and easy to remove after going through all that messiness. 
This is OPI's Gargantuan Green Grape and it's a super pretty vibrant light green. 
By the way, just ignore my infected cuticle, I was really naughty a few days ago and decided to pull a bit of the skin and ripped my finger :( It wasn't that bad when I first pulled it but then throughout today, I totally just killed it more. It went through super hot tap water, plus a little bit of hot rice that was just freshly cooked accidentally got onto the little sore spot and I wanted to scream. Now the area around it is a bit red too whilst before it was just a little red dot. Other than that my cuticles and fingers are getting so much better. I've always been so obsessed with nail polish but I've been neglecting my cuticles and for the last couple months they've been getting ridiculously dry and horrid so I purchased a cuticle butter (Lemony Flutter from LUSH, which I mentioned in the previous post) and have been crazy using it for all of this week and my cuticles are so much better now :) YAY!!!


For the next post I will be going through everything I like and have been using from my goodies bag that I got from Revlon and some of my current favorite things PLUS some exciting news XD eeep!!! 


CIAO!! :P byeee ^^

Nail of the Day (NOTD)

Because I am super obsessed with nail polish, I've decided to do a blog segment. So every time I change my nail polish colour, I will just post a picture and maybe a tiny description about it. I do change the colour A LOT so I'll probably get lazy and sick of continually posting nail pictures haha We'll see how dedicated I am :P

So this is what is one me nails today. My thumb on this left hand is light blue (the same colour as the middle finger) and on my right hand the light blue is where the purple is in this picture, the purple is where the dark blue is and the dark blue is on my middle finger and thumb. 
The dark blue is Essie's Lapis of Luxury, the light blue is Essie's Borrowed & Blue, and the purple is a nailpolish from DIVA called Day Dreaming
 This was the mani I had on last week. It was a combination of OPI's mermaid tears which is a semi dark green, and just a random BYS gold polish. Then I cut out temporary tattoos and used it as nail art stickers. It was the first time trying temporary tattoos in this way and it was inspired by Cutepolish. I think it turned out pretty well :)
Also just wanted to show off this mani I did. Super cute cloudmani that was inspired by Higasaurus. Some even said that it reminded them of icecream hehe
I used Revlon's 007 Sheer Blossom as a base then OPI's Shorts Story which is a hot pink that reminds me of the nail polish in the pretty little liars opening. Then the blue is Essie's Lapis of Luxury
