Selamat Hari Merdeka!

Hey there!
So today, the 31st of August is Malaysia's Independence Day!!
Wooo Hooo!!
*cracked open a bottle of wine*

Anywayz! So this is my mani for this years MERDEKA!

Inspired by the Malaysian flag but was too lazy to draw the star properly...
There's also the problem that I can't draw the star for nuts! ><

I actually painted one last year but it seems that it's not on the blog?
If it is, I can't find it...
Here it is anyway!

The star is the correct shape but still wrong FYI...
The only reason this years design looks nicer is because I took the time to use striping tape!

This is how my nails looked with the tape on.

A lot of tape...I know...

Anywayz! That's it for this post!
Happy Birthday Malaysia!

Cheers,
-Jing-

A hazy last summer

Elo Elo!
So you all should know that nails are not super uber short but that's not going to stop me from painting my nails! Actually, I have to paint my nails to prevent them getting shorter D8

Anyway, I purposely got a set of mini nail polishes for the winter holiday that I am spending in Malaysia. This is because I left my big box of polishes back in Melbourne...too heavy to bring it home for a short period of time. LOL

Did you manage to guess the set of minis that I bought?

THEY ARE...

ESSIE SUMMER 2012 MINI COLLECTION

Sorry about the bad photo quality but there's hardly any sunshine today because of the haze.

The set includes :-

Mojito Madness

Bikini so Teeny

Off The Shoulder

Fear or Desire

I managed to swatch 2 colours today. I shall show you guys the other two another day. This way it gives me more polish to use over the holiday! =)

First up is Mojito Madness!

This polish is a murky green although the colour in the photo is a bit off.

One coat is enough to make it opaque but if you want a deeper green then you can paint 2 coats.

I used 2 coats in the photo.

Next is Bikini So Teeny.

I actually thought that the set was all pastels but this polish proved me wrong.

Bikini So Teeny is a Violet-Blue polish with a tinge of glitter.

The colour in the photo is obviously what I have been describing but blame the bad weather >.<

This polish is streaky when I applied it, most probably because of the glitter.

This coat is opaque and smooth in 2 coats.

Well, that's all for this post!

Cheers!

X'Mas '12 - A Sweet Candy Cane Christmas

What pops into your head when someone says Christmas?

Presents?

Toys?

Santa?

How about candy canes!!

Christmas is just not complete unless you have had a candy cane!

I remember this one Christmas when my aunt brought home a gigantic candy cane for me and it took me months to finish it! MONTHS!! It was THAT big ><

Here's a candy cane mani that's a bit too big!

Not sure if you guys can tell from the pics but I used wayyyyyyy too many layers of polish for this mani although it looks like a pretty normal french mani...it has 15 layers of polish ><

Why 15?

It's because I was really excited on trying out the jelly mani thing since I got a set of OPI mini NYC Ballet Petites and it ended up like that...

In the end, I could actually peel them off my nail completely intact as it was!

I forgot to take a pic of them tho ><

Oh well!

So as a reminder to you! Go get some candy canes and share them around!

Cheers!

X'Mas '12 - A very Domo Christmas

Jingle bells~ Jingle bells~

Elo!!

It's sounds like it's going to be a very merry Christmas!

You know why?

Because for the first time in my life, I'm going out for Christmas dinner with my boyfriend and friends! ~~though it's a few days earlier~~

Speak of the devil!

I got the inspiration for this X'Mas mani from one of the girlfriends I'll be having dinner with! XD

You see rite...she was wearing this Domo t-shirt when we went out a while back then I kept staring at it for some reason then it finally hit me!! I should paint Domo Christmas nails!! XD

So that's how this mani came to be! =D
