Zoya Opal over OPI Ski Teal We Drop and black

China Glaze Shooting Stars over black and over OPI Ski Teal We Drop

yep that's the name!

cant decide if i like it. kleancolor holos are pretty gritty, they're more of holo glitters in sheer colour polish rather than holo pigments. thus they require more work (and remover) to get rid off. hmm.

I got the Nubars at a sale - they were going for $10/$11

The milanis were from a haul me, candy, and melissa ordered.

Milani Cyberspace, Nubar Absolute, Nubar Treasure, Milani Hi-Res

not exact dupes but very very similar! let me know if you guys want detailed comparisons, but other than the holo sizes, the colours are pretty much the same! loveeeee the purple!!!!!!

I went for gelish manicure the other day, it lasted about a week for me before the sides started peeling. (I'm damn rough with my hands, and besides I play the ukulele that's why my right hand nails peeled almost instantly haha)

I knew it was gonna be on my hands for more than a week that's why I chose a 'safe' colour but turns out I hated this colour so much I couldn't wait for it to peel off...

had a choice of glitter tips and french tips so i went with glitter.. it was holographic!!!

The people there were very nice too, unlike my previous experience with another nail salon. I do have plans to go back but it's soooooo inaccessible

ya so anyway i think i look like i have aunty hands hahahahhahahahaha ok bye!

bought this at DYON - china glaze were going for 3 for $10 but only on selected colours. managed to snag poinsettia, shooting stars, and snow globe. not much to buy. shooting stars was the last one i think?? i couldn't find more of it if not i would have gotten like 6 more haha

i compared it with OPI Vodka and Caviar (index) and Sally Hansen Hot Red (ring)

i would say it's not as orange as it looks in some pictures. it is a little brighter and more orangey as compared to the other two.

do i like it? it's ok i guess, i dont think i'd wear it as often as the other two though, unless i dress up as marilyn monroe ahahahahahha

love it!

sorry i've been away so long, been busy this month hehe. busy is good. means more $$ lol.

anyway joey'space is having a giveaway here prizes are amazing and there will be 10 winners! wootssss

kinda neglect this space too also cuz i haven't done much hauls or nail stuff (went for gelish thats why but i dont really like it hmmm... will elaborate on next available post)

verlyn is having a giveaway which ends on 26 april, items are Klairs serum and cream!

i've recently been into skincare and i hope i can get to try it!

talking about skincare, i purchased march's bellabox and vanity trove hahahahaha damn extravagant i think i am.......

lol why am i speaking like yoda.

chio bo chio bo the photography hahahaha

grabbed the chance to capture the holo goodness when the sun shone on my nails while on the bus!!! it's entirely glitter but not the gritty kind, the very small and uneven kind which makes it not very difficult to remove! love it love it love it love it love it love it love it

i shall order the rest of the colours the next round hahahah!

well i'm really bad at describing stuff so...

excuse the oily face

i love it, but will i look like a clown??!

i kinda like this! looks a bit like bokeh.

either my glitter sucks or the polish sucks cuz my franken bottle has totally turned from clear to red, and the red glitter is now silver hahahaha. how how how? where can i find good quality glitter? or probably a better polish.

annnnnnnd i have been busy.... with my new hobby! hahaha ever since i collected my items from michelle (thanks!), i have been mixing and matching colours - like an alchemist. now i just need some salt pile and troll fat to complete my potion... kidding! too much skyrim!!!

haven't been very satisfied with the colours i've been working on but.... one little sneek peak! i wish i had a better camera to capture the goodness but no. oddly enough my iphone 4s camera works better than my digital cam. stupid rite.

my franken against CG bogie on the thumb. i didn't exactly have bogie in mind when i started to try out the different colour combos i had. my version was also quite sheer so this was actually painted over black polish.

i'm not sure if i prefer to layer sheer polish or have a thick one/two coater instead.

any thoughts or suggestions?

ps candy, faster open tkb spree i need more bottles hehehe!!!

excuse the nick. 2 coats. very sci-fi, methinks!

under sunlight

under lamp and flash

i couldn't bring out the true colour, though under certain lightings the polish does look more nude than pink. i would probably describe this as a milky dusty beigey pink, something similar to OPI Miso Happy With this Color.

Candy Girl - purple/blue shimmer particles

Sweet Pleasure - teal shimmer particles

all one coat over black.

it's so difficult to capture Candy Girl!

haven't done eotds in a looooong time

added half lashes (i really mean a quarter cuz i cut half of one of my pair of TFS lashes HAHAHAHAHA like if you got that) for the fluttery 'wanna make it look like i have really long lashes but i dont'  feel. perhaps i should put on more mascara in the inner corners.

it's mostly blue brown shadow on the lids with a little dark brown at the outer corners and crease. also, this was taken at the end of the day so most of the makeup has rubbed off hahaha (long humid day it was...)

anyone has any lashes to recommend? wanna get individuals. fake lashes are a bitch to remove.

It's finally the end of the nail challenge i start eons ago. i dont have any favourites cuz i really like all of them hahahahah but i would redo the old and uglier ones (example this and this)

i recreated the tutorial one cuz i really like to watch tuts but i really seldom recreate them.

i used China Glaze Nova instead of real rhinestones.

thanks for reading and hope you've enjoyed my challenge as much as i did!

under sunlight

now i'm hitting myself in the butt why i didnt get all the colours haha.
