♡ Recent Nail Designs ♡

I have clearly abandoned my blog for a good 4/5 months now :(

I have been very busy with work, but I hope to blog a lot more

near the end of May, when I travel abroad for a couple of months.

I love doing my nails for special occasions,
so here is one I did for Valentine's Day :p

and my most recent nail design, using all Bio Seaweed Gel polishes :)

Hope you are all well!
There are so many things I want to share on my blog :(
I'm just eagerly waiting for Spring to come.
This cold, dreary weather is quite depressing!

♡ Current Winter Favourites ♡

Long time no see! :p Sorry, I've been busy with work and

haven't had much time or patience to blog. I'm supposed

to be working at this very moment, but I felt like blogging ><

It's legit winter here >< -5 degrees celcius, which feels like -15!

I've been into headbands recently... not sure why but they

keep my hair in place when it's windy outside. I can't wear

them for long periods of time though, because my head starts hurting.

I bought these lovely headbands from Claire's :p

 and some beauty favourites :)

The Weleda Almond facial lotion is great for this time of the year.

I also love my Etude House Jelly lipstick :) It's actually quite moisturizing.

I love the warm nutty vanilla scent during the cold months and the

Vanille Noire is currently my favourite from Yves Rocher :p

and this is my current nail design! :)

with Shellac's 'Indigo Frock' on the tip, layered with

'Zillionaire' (glitter). Then I stamped on some Konad designs :)

Hope you're all enjoying your week :)

♡ BONK IBIZA ♡ by Sonja Bonk

I found Sonja's jewelry on Etsy and fell in love! :)

Check out her Etsy shop HERE!

I mean, look at her business card. It's awesome :p

The bracelet is silver plated and made with love ♡

I bought the new limited edition OOAK silver fishbone chain bracelet :)

and my current nail design :)

Base (CND Shellac in Bare Chemise) | Glitter (customized by me :p)

♡ Ocean Breeze ♡

Yay, finally a new nail design to show you all :p

This is definitely inspired by the ocean and the beach :)

Polishes

Shellac (Studio White, Bare Chemise, and Negligee)

Gel II (Glitter 2?)

I am currently liking AKMU's cover of Eyes, Nose, Lips :)

Skinfood Rose Essence Cream Blush

I recently bought quite a bit of Korean makeup... :D
I do have some other favourites, but I'll take my time sharing them because I haven't been
in the mood to photograph everything. I've been getting busy and I have to be in the mood
to blog, so the posts might come later in the spring/summer >> I tried to do a video, but failed :p

This rose essence cream blusher is very creamy and is quite long lasting.
It does have an apparent rose scent, and I'm not a huge rose scent lover, but I don't mind it.

This is in the shade AQUA ROSE and it's a pretty bright pink.
I find it very pigmented but quite easy to blend.

I love the packaging, it's convenient to carry around and it's beautiful :)

I bought this blusher at Jolse.com for about $10
I've bought other things from Jolse as well, but I'll share that in another post :)

and my current nail design :D I thought it would go well with this post :p

Hope you're all having a nice weekend so far :)

I'm loving this mascara!

Hello there! sorry for neglecting my blog :(
I have so much to share, but I need to take nice photos for it!
No nice photos = no posts lol

BUT I love this Fairy Drops Platinum Mascara so much, I HAD to blog about it.
This isn't a natural mascara and I still can't find the super waterproof natural mascara that I need.
Okay, first of all, I never wore mascara until now, because my eyes would have a stinging reaction
after about 1 hour of wearing mascara. I always just curled my eyelashes and that was enough for me.
I'm pretty low maintenance when it comes to my makeup.

I bought the long & curl version. They also have a volume & curl.
I love this mascara, it stays put all day, holds my curl, and makes my eyelashes look great :)
The packaging is an extra bonus! I just love it :) I won't need to test out any other mascaras.
I'll only be wearing this for 4 days a week, since I do believe in letting my eyelashes rest :)

Pros:
☆ super lightweight, so light I don't even feel that I'm wearing it
☆ waterproof, smudge-proof (seriously, I tend to rub my eyes and this even held up in the rain!)
☆ lengthens! and doesn't clump, so easy to apply, great for beginners!
☆ holds my curl all day!
☆ not that difficult to take off (oil based or regular eye makeup remover will work)
☆ this didn't sting my eye :)

Cons:
☆ $17-20 (this isn't really a con, but for someone who is on a budget and
doesn't want to spend this amount on a mascara, that is totally understandable!)

I bought mine on eBay here :)
The light pink metallic version is a limited edition design.
The original is in a black metallic tube.

and I was able to redo my nails! I hope you like them as much as I do :p

I love Water Spinach

This is really random, but I love water spinach, specifically Chinese water spinach lol :p
and I haven't been posting random food photos lately, so I just wanted to share :)
I had lobster with water spinach and beef, with rice :)

This is my nail design for the week... I didn't really have an inspiration for this.
I wanted something subtle, but different with a pop of colour :)

Base: Essie Grow Stronger base coat
Colour: OPI 'Tickle my France-y'
Designs: Konad Image Plates M72 (slash print), M79 (polkadots)
Top: Konad top coat

Clips from Paris

I just wanted to share 2 random clips I filmed, while we were in Paris :)
and ice cream nails, I did recently to match my melting phone case :p

Ylin Colour Changing Polish!

I was able to choose an item to try out from Born Pretty Store!
I really enjoy browsing through their website because of the variety of items that they sell.
Everything is very affordable and reasonably priced! I love their nail art section and their
iPhone cases section :p They also have clothing, DIY items, and many more on their site.

Pros:
☆ Barely any scent from the polish
☆ Great for children!
☆ Easy to take off
☆ Dries pretty quickly
☆ Awesome ombre effect on the nails (probably for longer nails)

Cons:
☆ Doesn't last very long on the nails
☆ Doesn't always go on very even (you can tell in the photos)

You can get a variety of different colours here :)
They are priced at $7.84/bottle :)

I have a coupon code for 10% off, you can use on the website! PEJW10
I'm not sponsored by the company/website, but they offered a code
and who doesn't want a discount? :p They also offer free shipping!

Hot/warm = blue, Cool = purple

feel, a small gesture/gift makes all the difference :)
