Marble, marble and marbling again

Hey nail art peeps!
I know this post is supposed to explain why I don't have the cash for more sinful colours polishes but I haven't gotten to swatching yet.

In the mean time, here's my NOTD a.k.a. Nails of The Day.


My sis-in-law tagged in a water marbling tutorial on fb and I was like "I already know how to do it laaaa" so to prove to her that I did...I did! 

I'm not good at it as you can see.

The colour came out pretty nicely though =)
I used OPI Alpine Snow and Essie Green Apple Mint.


Look forward to the secret swatch k 
Cheers!

Butter London Jasper Swatch

Elo Elo!
A friend just asked my why I do not update my blog regularly...
My answer: Lazy ahhhhh

Which is so true! 
So this post is for you! 
=P


First I have to tell you guys a story.

Once upon a time on a nice sunny day. I had Sunday brunch with my girl friends at this cozy french cafe called Roule Galette. This cafe sold yummy crepes and I like them. When we reached the cafe, there were no tables open. As we waited outside the cafe for a table, across the road was a cute little boutique called 'Lady Petrova'. This shop sold cute dress, shoes, and accessories. One of my friends was instantly entranced by it and suddenly found herself walking into it with me following her. As I went deeper into the boutique, I found a small stand with nail polish on it and the closer I got to it, the more excited I got! 


IT WAS A RACK OF BUTTER LONDON POLISHES!!

I have seen so many Butter London nail polish swatches and I they all looked so pretty. When I finally got one I was really excited. Trying not to get a polish similar to the others I already own. I got a bottle of Butter London Jasper.



Jasper is a light pastel yellow and it is absolutely beautiful.
I had to paint 3 layers to get an even and opaque shade though. 

I actually saw a similar colour from Sinful Colours and I plan to get it for comparison but not this month.

Why not this month?

Stay tuned!

Cheers!

Rainbow Nerds

Peek-a-boo!!
Me boredddd ><
Classes haven't started yet so I've got a lot of free time.
Waking up in the morning doesn't help either =S

Anywayz...
I found this huge as box of Rainbow Nerds at the Reject Shop.
So I decided to paint a Nerds inspired mani!


I didn't really have any inspiration...
Just a plain rainbow ombre & a purple nerd


CLOSE UPS


I have to admit that drawing the nerd was fun ^^
I should draw more animated stuff on my nails! XD

Cheers!

A not so white mani for the White Night!

Hey guys!
Apparently yesterday, February 23, 2013 was Melbourne's first Nuit Blanche a.k.a White Night!! 
I totally did not know it existed and probably wouldn't have known that it was going on if I didn't have plans to yum cha with my friend. 
Melbourne CBD is CROWDED!!!
and I mean 
CROWDED!!!!
I have never seen so many people in the city before! 
It felt like the Connaught Pasar Malam cause it was so packed.
=P

My NOTD yesterday.


I thought I would try the Burberry design!
It turned out really messy in the end ><
Darn it! 


Back to White Night!
Here are some pics! 
^^


There were laser shows on a lot of old buildings! 
It was so awesome!! 
XD

Cheers!!

Funky lonely leopard

Yo!
I was supposed to post this yesterday but I had a headache and couldn't do it =S
Anyway...my parents left for Malaysia yesterday and me ish all alonezzz in Aussie land...
Class hasn't even started yet so I have even more time than usual thus more blogging XD

So here's the NOTD

The colour in the pic is a bit off because of the lighting but it's actually Sinful Colors - Easy Going...it's supposed to be a light violet pink...the leopard came out pretty well though ^^

I painted this after my parents left and I had nothing else to do...
Thinking whether should I paint my nails everyday or not but if I do then my nails suffer and I don't want that...
First world nail dilemmas...sighhhhhh

That's it for this post! 
Check ya guys out later!! 

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!
