Paper Towns | Get Lost To Get Found

Hi all! 

About a week ago, I entered an insta contest hosted by Warner Music Malaysia and won two tickets to the premiere of Paper Towns. I have not watched The Fault In Our Stars yet but I've heard good things. So, coming from the same author it was expected to be a good movie. 

I was a tad bit disappointed with how Warner Music managed the competition especially when winners wanted to collect their tickets. We got our tickets 10 minutes before the movie started and I admit that I was worried that we would be late but we weren't. All's good that ends well. 

Anyway, with my tendency to paint designs based on events - here's a Paper Towns inspired one. 

Colours used:

Base coat - Essence Ultra Strong Nail Hardener
White - OPI Alpine Snow & Acrylic Paint
Black - Laval & Acrylic Paint
Top Coat - Miss Ashleigh Matte Hatter

As for my review on the movie, it didn't turn out to be a regular romcom but I liked how the story flowed. There was laughing and crying involved but John Green paints a pretty realistic view on knowing oneself and unrequited love as well as friendship. I would give it a 6/10. Thanks Warner Music Malaysia for the tickets! 

That's it for this post!
Cheers!

Elle Girl No.86 Swatch

Hello everyone!

Here's a swatch of Elle Girl No. 86 polish. It is a Korean brand polish my friend got me as a souvenir. 

86 is a sheer creme white polish with glitter chunks is them! Including snowflakes and stars, there are also multi coloured hexagonal and round glitters. I suggest painting a layer of white polish before applying for a more opaque look. The photos show 3 layers of the polish. 

*Photos are at the bottom of the post because I'm using the Blogger app. 

I didn't want to just remove the polish so I did a bit of reverse stamping. :) 

Using Bundle Monster plate BM-407 I stamped some trees using Laval black and topped with Glisten & Glows HK Girl Top Coat. 

The next day I matted the mani with Miss Ashleighs Matte Hatter and I must say that the matte version is so much prettier! 

That's it for this post.

Cheers.

Nail Polish Spree 05 + Swatches

Yawnnnnnn

Excuse me...super sleepy now...=.=...

Anywayzz...here's nail polish spree 05!! 

China Glaze Passion, OPI Fresh Frog of Bel Air

This time I ordered China Glaze Passion and OPI Fresh Frog of Bel Air!

I shall make this an uber long post since I haven't written a long one in a while ^^

Here we go! 

First off is China Glaze Passion! XD

Passion is a dusty gold chrome polish. I've been hunting for a gold chrome polish for a while now and this is the one I chose after reading countless reviews and seen so many swatches!

As all chrome polishes, this polish also streaks so remember to get it all on with minimal swipes of the brush...2 layers would be best for this polish cause as you can see from my ring finger in the close up photo...there's a bald spot in the middle ><"

This is China Glaze Passion Matte! ^^
I seriously LOVE matte chrome polish! Not sure if you can tell from the photo but there's less shine and it has this real gold feeling to it XD
I wish I had taken a more close up photo of it ><


Enough with the chrome polish!
Let's get on to the glitter!
Presenting...OPI Fresh Frog of Bel Air!! XD

Have I mentioned that I'm quite into glitter now? Well I AM!! XD
OPI Fresh Frog of Bel Air is from the Muppets collection! ^^
I've never had a green glitter polish and this caught my eye!
This polish is a combi of small tiny green glitter bits and hexagonal silver flakies!
I actually went backwards and did the review before the nail polish spree post ><
It was more to a glitter post than a review though..=P
Check it out ---> OPI Fresh Frog of Bel Air Review

Well...that's it for this post!!
I've got a couple of manis done already and I can't wait to show them to you guys! ^^
Look forward to them!
Cheers!
