Abstract Leopard Nail Design

Hello everyone!!! It’s a rainy day in Singapore this afternoon and luckily I took pics of my mani yesterday where it was bright and sunny, yay!

I have another leopard design again because I think that it is the easiest to do after dots. Haha! Forgive me for the countless leopard designs, unless you can give me an great idea for my next one! ^^

I have a little tip for yellowish finger nails! Because I did a side-swipe on my index, middle and ring fingers, I didn’t want the yellowish tint of my fingernails to show (eek!!). So I did a coat of Seche Rose on my nails and then use Essie Tangerine to do a side-swipe. It definitely helps in hiding the yellowish tint, and giving it a healthy glow! Now nobody will know that you actually have yellow-orangey nails underneath a lovely mani :)

I came across a nail blog (sorry, I’ve forgotten whose is it!) and she described it as ‘a dot within a dot’. I think that was pretty cute! She also included a picture tutorial. I ended up doing the ‘dot within a dot’ design on my pinkie and thumb. A very bizarre combination of leopard prints and abstract nail art but hey, I make it work didn’t it? :P

LOBSTER HANDS ALERT!!!!! LOL. I fail at taking photos of my right hand :/

Anyway, My cuticles look so alive now! I went bareless last night and slapped on lots of Lush Lemony Flutter and pushed my cuticles back and TA-DAHHHHHHH clean and moisturized cuticles! I’m still left with quite alot of that stuff and its expiring this coming December :( how I wish good stuff last forever… hehe!

Polish Party @ Smoochiezz!: Essie Swatches

Posted on by

Hello everyone! I’ve been getting lots of questions on where I buy my polishes and where’s the best deals in Singapore for polishes and I’m very proud to announce that ever since Smoochiezz imported her polishes from the States, I get most of my polishes from her! ^^

Hazel aka Smoochiezz started off as a spree organiser and currently she has over 60 ongoing sprees at her website! Yep… you name the spree, she has it! Her spree ranges from Taiwan to Korean to UK and the States! That’s really awesome! I am one of her loyal spree-ers because firstly, she never gets my orders wrong and secondly, I always get updated mails on when is my stuff arriving and most importantly, her calculations are always displayed clearly on her excel spreadsheet so you know how much you are actually paying for the shipping charges etc.

Anyway, despite holding over 60+ sprees on her LJ, she has a showroom at Jurong East and it is loaded full with cosmetic goodies, apparels, and nail polishes! She carries lots of famous drugstore brand names from the States which are very difficult to find in Singapore. What’s more, she is selling them at very cheap prices. Brands such as E.L.F, NYX, MAC, Estee Lauder, Coastal Scents etc are currently avaliable in her showroom! :)

But since I’m not a makeup maniac, I always get drawn to her lacquer corner in her showroom! Here’s the list of brands that she currently has… there’s OPI, Essie, China Glaze, Poshe and Seche Vite!

In case you’re interested… here’s the price list!

OPI Cremes – $9
OPI Shimmers/Glitters – $10
OPI Shatters – $10
OPI Nail Envy – $15
OPI Designer Series – $15
China Glaze – $7
China Glaze Crackles – $8
Essie – $9
Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat – $10
Seche Vite Clear Base Coat – $8

Alright, enough with the words… let’s get on to the swatches! All swatches are 2 coats with no top coat.

St. Lucia Lilac is a very pale pastel lilac. It is showing up more blue and darker, I apologise for that! My camera doesn’t seemed to be working correctly with the colour spectrum on that day, lol.

Honey Bun is a refreshing shade for me, I’ve never seen anything like this! It looks like a burnt cranberry with lots of golden sparkles!

Pansy is a bright medium blue-toned carnation pink. The first picture is more true to this colour. I think my camera freaked out the second time it sensed the pink… maybe it was too mesmerising, lol!

Tangerine… bright, cherry and coral; what’s not to like?? Obviously this is my favourite from the five, and I absolute love how obnoxiously bright this is. Perfect for summer and for the toes ;)

Aruba Blue. I really have no idea how to describe this colour. Absolutely gorgeous…. my camera really captured this colour well. I love how reflective this polish is!!! This one makes me feel like I’m looking at the naked sky at midnight, reminds me of the times I had during diving :)

Remember me saying that I don’t like Essie before?? After swatching these polishes, I’m glad to say I’m in love with Essie! The formulae was top notch, there was no streaking or bald spots! I think my bottle of Mesmerize is a bad child which made me kinda boycott Essie because of it. :<

Anyway, I suggest you head down to her showroom to view! I promise you that it won’t be a wasted trip! ;) But please bring lots of cash though! They only accept cash! (unless you have your ibanking device, bring it along too!)

Smoochiezz Showroom:
41 Toh Guan Road East
ADL building #08-03
Singapore 608605

Opening Hours :
Mon to Fri: 10am-7pm
Sat and Sun: 12pm-6pm
Tel: 68992450

Seche Rose

I am so into nudes and pales lately! I find myself grabbing Seche Rose instead of other ‘loud’ colours! Seche Rose is a milky beige colour, and what’s pictured is 4 coats. I know… too many coats for a polish but I don’t mind. I could leave it at 2 coats but it was streaky and brush strokes can be clearly seen because the polish is sooo sheer! Despite using 4 coats, I don’t have full coverage ;( But what I like is the drying time, its super fast!

My pictures are a little off, Seche Rose is leaning more towards milky beige with yellow undertone! So obviously from the pictures, I cut off my nails last night. It was so hard to type on my phone and on the keyboard and doing simple things like opening a can!

I think the main reason for picking out a nude colour is because I’m pretty down. I am fedup with Nailvibe. Not sure whether I should be mad at Singpost or Nailvibe. But whatever. I paid for the polishes I ordered last Monday and they promised to ship out my item on Thursday. However, they shipped it out on Friday instead. I have no problems with that but today is already Thursday and there’s still no sign of my package!!!!! ARGH. I emailed them but they said it could be delayed by Singpost so I’m not really sure on who to blame. Oh well… I just hope the package reaches me safety with no breakage!

Anyway… just an update of my hammies. They’re not doing well ;( I just realised today that Wanton has a swollen eye. Which leaves me with 2 injured hamsters. I can never put them back together again. And both of them slimmed down ALOT ever since I separated them. Definitely not a good sign.
