Mickey Mouse Nail Art

This nail art is dedicated to my precious daughter who recently fell in love with Mickey Mouse.

However, instead of doing the common red/white polka dot nail art, I decided to try another design to depict my very own Mickey Mouse nail design ^^. Yet, I may just attempt the common design soon, hehe.

Nail Polishes used: Faceshop Pearl White (nail base), China Glaze Salsa (Red Mickey), Faceshop BK901 (Black Mickey)

You may notice why I have an odd design on one of my nails. That's cos I recently had a cut on it and had no choice but to trim it short & outta shape. Being a nail addict who must put on some lacquers on, I decided to play with designs to hide it away. :P

My Very Own Paw Prints~

Have always wanted to draw paws on my nails but wasn't very confident in using nail art pen, so I left this idea aside till now. Being so hooked onto nail art now, I feel that my confident level is higher and able to pick up my courage into drawing...on nails.

The China Glaze Recycle I bought off from my colleague is just so damn good! For someone who doesn't like applying creme-based nail polishes, Recycle is a breeze when it comes to application! Not streaky at all and all it took me was just 2 coats ^^. As for the paw prints, I used Etude House's white nail art pen to apply. Simple design yet pleasant to the eyes. :D

Concealer Overkill Haul

Did an overkill haul on The Body Shop's Tea Tree Concealer just cos they offered me a 30% discount on total purchase when my membership had expired just days before.

Well, what to do when their concealers really do the magic of concealing the spots on my face? :D
To see the effect, you can read on my earlier post on the review the Apothéke's colour corrector.

Looks like these amount of restock can last me for a few months, hehe!

Milani Red Sparkle Swatches

After receiving my Milani hauls from a spree-er (Post on Parcel of Joy - Milani Hauls) a while back, I finally took the time to use Milani Red Sparkles on my nails. Friends told me it's of bright red color resembling chilli and I didn't really believe them until I swatch it onto my nails!

Not only it is bright, it is indeed sparkling as well! The glitter effect is amazing to the point I couldn't stop looking at my nails while working, haha. Application was a breeze as well and can be done under 1-2 coats max depending on your preference. For me, I swatch with 2 coats out of habit.

with SV top coat

Aren't they glittery and sparkling?

Wore this for my KL trip and boy was i glad i chose this color cos it simply cheered me up throughout my overseas period ^^.

Yellow, yellow...I like you, do you like me?

It was my 1st attempt at yellow lacquer and....I have no idea whether it suits/suited me or not. Tried a full yellow manicure prior to this manicure below but it just sucks to the core a.k.a UGLY! So, I had no choice but to remove them and redo again...

Used both FaceShop and Etude House nail polishes for this set of manicure. Though I quite like the turnout, I am still very unsure if yellow suits me at all.

What do you think?

'Bogus' Fries

I was having lunch earlier today with my fellow colleagues at a Western Restaurant and I ordered a 'Grilled Boneless Chicken' with salsa sauce. The waitress delivered my order to me and placed it onto the table, looking so yummy-licious.

But...wait just a minute. Did you notice anything odd? Why were there 2 types of FRIES in 1 dish?????? And...why was it that one of the fries looked so pale & uncooked!? Here's a closer look~

Looks really uncooked, ya? Attempted to act brave, I picked up my fork, poked into 1 of them & put it into my mouth. Crunchy...chewy. No, they're not uncooked french fries. In fact, they're not french fries at all.
They're.....


R A D I S H ................................................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Ok, consider them innovative/creative, but it scared me somehow thinking this restaurant's serving uncooked or not well-cooked food for customers -_-". I shall forgive them for giving me a little scare since the 'bogus' fries were pretty tasty!

Dual French Tips/4th July Mani...

Hehe...I'm not from the states, but I do like to attempt themed nails sometimes. With 4th July here, how can I resist the temptation?

I didn't really want the usual 4th July nails where they are mostly flag and stars designs. Hence, I tried a more non-conventional design where some may beg to agree on this. My manicure/nail art for 4th July is mainly circling around the color combination, that's all.

This time, I made dual french tips on my nails with Etude House's Chilli Red as 1st french tips, followed by China Glaze's Midnight Mission as 2nd french tips. 1st french tips were done using tapes, while the 2nd french tips were painted freehand. After-which, I covered my freehand-painted tips with dots.

Midnight Mission is on the darker side of the blue family thus it looks kinda blackish under warm light. I know this may not look really like the traditional 4th July nail art but it is my own work with 4th July color scheme.

Some told me they look like castles, some said they look like zippers. What do you think?
