OPI Liquid Sand Stay The Night Swatch

Hi everyone! 

I hope you're all having a great Father's Day! =)

3 coats under dim sunlight

My friend who is studying in Melbourne helped me get this bottle of OPI Liquid Sand Stay The Night from the Mariah Carey collection for AUD7!!! Can you believe the price?!?! I consider myself super lucky! =D 


2 coats under dim sunlight 

Stay The Night is a black based texture polish with red glitter which is absolutely beautiful! It reminds me of brimstone or something out of a fairy tale where the princess is trapped in a tower with a dragon and the prince has to come save her...wait a minute...I just described Sleeping Beauty when in fact I was thinking of Shrek...HAHAHAHA 

I read from another swatch that it resembled embers from a dying flames which it does! This polish is kind of patchy when applying because of the texture. I prefer 2 layers because it's lighter and more magical...I applied another layer the day after and it became more opaque but it was kinda dark? Not really magical? Completely depends on you guys how you want it to look. 

I got le boyfriend to snap a macro with his clip on lens. 



The shots above was taken when I also had 2 layers on. Can you see the grit and the glitter sticking out?? 

I've had my eyes of this polish since the release and I must say no regrets whatsoever! It's beautiful, it's textured and it removes easily! =) 

That's it for this post!
Cheers!

A Belated Gong Xi Fa Cai

Elo all nail art lovers!
I know it's a bit late but...

GONG XI FA CAI!
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

Since I have the time, I thought I would post something.
I'm on a roadtrip with my parents on Melbourne's Great Ocean Road.
It's kinda supposed to be their anual honeymoon slash sending me back to Melbourne for second term slash helping me move into my new apartment slash a trip for grandpa since he really wanted to go on one.

Anywayz...back onto nail polish!
I could only do a simple CNY mani since I had to fly off on the 3rd day of CNY.

The chinese writing on my thumb 蛇 means snake since it's the year of the snake.
The word on my ring finger  means double happiness for the upcoming new year ^^

Sorry that my calligraphy is so bad XD 
The other nails are painted with China Glaze Happy Go Lucky and topped with Nubar's Black Polkadot which is my absolute favorite layering polish ever! XD

I didn't get to bring my polish with me on the roadtrip but shall continue doing my nails when I move in properly when I get back to Melbourne! 

For some weird reason, my nails hate Melbourne and they always break when I get here...-.-...waiting for them to grow out now but short nails are still paint-a-ble so no biggie =D

Cheers everyone!
Happy New Year!

Hello from me from the Great Ocean Road!
