Studio M- Purple Medallion + Slamming Red

Wow Wee. I managed to swap for these two precioussssssss on MUA. And I am loving them! However gritty they may feel. The glitters in them are great and the base colours are actually very rich and jeweled.

Here's the photo spam:

Slamming Red was gloopy when I opened the bottle. It has been used before I got it. No big deal, I added some Seche Restore to thin it but mostly I just scooped it out and applied it :P

Essie Footloose + Elianto Opal Glitter + Love&Beauty purple glitter

I sold my Essie Demi away. It wasnt such a good choice, on hindsight as I love the lacquer very very much. For its colour, tone, wear and finish! Oh well...

So, I got myself Essie Footloose and I thought, well it might make up for it.. But no, it is still not the One I wanted and saw in Demi.

My Demi.....

This is how I wore Essie Footloose.

Layered with Elianto's Opal Glitter, which is essentially a blue iridescent glitter with the occasional hexagon silver glitter.

Then I layered Love&Beauty purple glitter over. Love&Beauty is a forever 21 brand of polish... Got it in a giveaway prize last year :)

Glitters always look better in real life when their dazzling goodness is captured in our eyes.

Love the blue and purple combination of glitters over the Footloose base. 

More glitter tips coming your way!

Diamond Sparkled Nail :)

Thanks for the lovely comments :) I thought i should dedicate a post for my nails hehe, gotten much compliments on it, and i specially bought the rhinestones for the look too :D

Here's the photos:

I do like it a lot too, I had it on for about 4 days, which is REALLY long! :D 

The pink base I used was jelly-ish and Seche Vite as a topcoat did give the illusion of gel nails :) The holo glitter was actually a purple holo glitter from Daiso which was super sheer :D I used it to blend the purple tips and pink base. All was done freehanded so there was no straight edge... The purple tips were done with an Arezia polish that I got in a 'lucky bag' of nail items! (more about that in a haul post up next..)

Scandal's Chic Purple with blue flakies

 reminds me of OPI's Teas-y Does It, and btw Burlesque was pretty awesome ;)) Cher's character is Tess but Im not sure how 'Teas' became the name of the polish lol. This is a dark purple with magenta shimmer, very vampy :)

and this is Chic Purple on crack lol. The blue flakies glowed in the bed of the deep purple goodness. Very pretty! The polish I used to layer does not look good actually, it has nice blur flakies suspended in a pool of poo-y brown gel-like jelly. HAHA, no pics! :D

and the lovely sexy corsetted nail polish bottle, Scandal. It is a Korean brand and has aloe vera ingredients in it to protect the nails :) SGD 9.90

Love it!

how can i forget to show this!?!?!?

This is a purple blue duochrome with slight frost finish. Applied quite thickly but with Seche Vite, dries pretty decently. Just be careful not to cause dents!

Lovely lacquer :)

This is Wet N Wild's Eggplant Frost! LOVE THIS SOO MUCH. got this from a giveaway: )

Added OPI's Show it and Glow it ;)

Deeper royal purple with strong blue flash :) Applied very well in 2 coats for opacity :) Need a backup of this! <3

More Orly Ole spam, nail mail + MUA swap! :D

Hiya all~ 

Cant help spamming more pictures of this manicure I did some time back!

And I recently won a guess that polish impromptu contest on LucidBubble blog :) I guessed the SH Nail Prism Purple Diamond correctly! And won myself not just that polish but more! ;) It was such a great nail mail surprise!

Wild Card/Invitation

Bizerk Turq

The awesome purple diamond!!!! <3 I will break out my OPI DS Original to do a short comparison post soon! ;)

My first international swap with a MUA-er! :D some Victoria Secrets, some Bath and Body Works, some LUSH and an assortment of awesome body gels and lotions :D All smell heavenly!!

Current love is: The Body Shop's Enlivening Shower Gel

Wakes up my body in the morning with this shower! Great for a bath before exams hehe :)

Have a great weekend ya'all! <3

Xmas Manicure #2: Pur-posely Poised (?!)

Haha! What an attempt to come up with a name for this manicure :P

The little hand on the left is my cousin's hand! Haha, they follow me around the house so much I tell ya, it's kinda impossible to study (for my exams) these days!

Purple Base: Zoya Demi

My first Zoya I tried, I got this in a blog sale for quite a bit of money but totally no regrets! Look at how gorgeous this is! Dries darker than the bottle colour. 2 coats to buttery perfection!

Glitters: Etude House LUCIDarling nails- Purple glitter with hexagon and star sequins

Etude House Dear Darling Nails no. 31 purple glitter suspended in clear base. 

The latter provides great coverage! I did 2 coats on my right thumb for base instead of using Zoya. Then one coat of LUCIDarling nails for more sparkly.

Seche Vite needed to prevent grittiness :D

Here's Stompy looking at ya!

We're bringing him to the vet tomorrow, for a checkup on his wet nose and mites. Poor baby, but he will be alright! :D

Holo skittles which means a comparison :D

I did a holo skittles cuz I wanted to break in all my Daiso holo polishes at one go!

Red holo :) no. 7

From bottom up:

Black/charcoal holo no. 10

Green holo - From Beauty Credit GN06

Blue holo: no. 9

Silver with some iridescent shimmer with holo: no. 8

China Glaze GR8,  a gold holo, least scattered holo!

From left:

Purple holo: no. 4

Pink holo: no. 3

Beige/orange holo: no. 6

Darker orange holo?: no. 1

As you can tell, Im lacking 2 more Daiso holos :) Havent had the patience to remember the numbers im lacking :P

My mother and sister loved some of them and had me do a mani or two for them with these! :D

What do you think of these?

Daiso holos costs 2SGD for about 5ml, a little pricey but the effect is really not too bad! Granted, it is more scattered holo. Even Beauty Credit has a tad more rainbowy effect in the sun, but Daiso holos apply without streakiness! 2 coats are good. If too thick, due to people testing them in stores, some thinner will do the trick!

Love these!

Borghese Stellare Notte vs Etude House WH004

Essentially, both have the green/purple duochrome. But...

 Stellare Notte is duochrome in shimmer style. With a teal base, not a black one...

 Added one coat of CND Jade Sparkle. On another nail, added a red and silver glitter in red jelly base and also another coat of iridescent glitter :)

 Added iridescent glitter over CND Jade Sparkle. lol.

 Yep, OPI Show it and Glow it! Over Stellare Notte...

 WH004 is duochrome in glass flecks style, with the green/purple in flecks suspended in a black base.

 Tip pull by Seche Vite. *shakes head*

Love both! :)

I got Stellare Notte from the Vampy Giveaway prize on Libby's blog!

What are your thoughts?

*both are hard to photograph properly and WH004 looks black most of the time! Stellare Notte is much better ;)
