Biggest lemming: Gold Gold Gold Nails (Conclusion: Minx)

Yes I love Gold... I love it more if its 24K GOLD. Well who doesn't huh?!!

My biggest lemming so far is Gold Nail Polish. I had been frantically trying to find different types of gold nail polish but I phailed in looking for the right one.
Often disappointed after I bought the gold nail polish and applied them on my nails. Yes they still look nice. But I will think "NO. ITS NOT THIS GOLD!!"

I wanted something that looks like the 24K Gold Bar GOLD. Not glittering, not shimmering, but yes more to Chrome... Shiny, Metallic...
Someone would have told me to melt a REAL gold bar and smack it on my fingers... -_-" I think I would get all my 10 fingers chopped off by some robber or some... guy.

Previously I kept telling Nana that the Gold i like should look matt. She and me went in many beauty stores to check out gold nail polish, but she usually ends up buying more polish than me!  hahhaax..
Somehow I remembered seeing a photo with gold nails, it kinda look matt. I didn't know how to explain the colour in words and I had lost that picture, plus my memory is very bad. =_=" That picture actually made me started off looking for the RIGHT gold nail polish.

Well, this Gold lemming kept me thinking for about past a year now, so I decided to do a search on the net today... I did searched before quite long ago but couldn't find any type of gold nails I liked.
But today, surprisingly, I found something!!
They are called the MINX Nails.
I might be already outdated for half a year or so, but at least now I get to know such things DO exist!!
I am SOOOOooo EXCITED! I want to look for more pictures of these gold nails and smack them all up to my blog!!!

Just LOVE how the nails chrome effect came out in the pictures... its even shinier than the crystals on Lady Gaga's body!

::: Conclusions :::
I think ONLY Minx Nails are the ones that I am looking for all this while..

I couldn't find any such nails then, probably because 1 year ago, Minx nails weren't so popular or had not been even born yet?
During mid 2009, many artistes suddenly start doing Minx Nails and it got so hot! (Though not that hot yet in Singapore..)

I think maybe ...I had been dreaming to be Lady Gaga since 1 year ago...?

Minx Nails = Nail Art. Expensive. Celebrity Trend. Short lifespan. Where can it be seen in Singapore?

I shall try to find a cheaper alternative. Or better still, I become a celebrity. Hahhax...

From Nikkis Nails: http://nikkisnailcreations.blogspot.com/2009/09/w7-golden-pearl.html
Very close to the kind of Gold nail polish I like!!
Since Minx is hard to apply and is expensive, I shall try this w7 nail polish!

 

Even Shoes goes Minx! (Taken from: http://www.izabel.com.au/category.aspx?id=30)
I'll love to buy this shoes too if I happen to see it in malls!!

::: My Nail Polish :::
Following are the nail polish I owned. They are not alot because I am not a nail person, I only buy it because I wanted GOLD too much... and I am very much affected by someone who is a VERY nail person. ^_^"

NFU (From China/Korea? Bought from nail shop in Far East Plaza) is very yellowish but when it's on my nails, it looks WOW!! Shiny! I had gotten compliments from salesgirls and even random strangers when I am wearing NFU polish. Indeed it attracts quite a bit of attention, however after 2 days or so, the gold glitters kind of falls or fade off. You will need to coat with new layer again to maintain the shininess.

Ohh! Thank you for recommending! ^_^ I know the skinfood nail polish I had is actually not gold at all.. hahax.. i will go check out the one you having now. I thought I might have seen it before maybe because it looks almost like my NFU one, that's why I didn't buy it. Anyways, I'll still go and test it when i pass by skinfood again! ^.^
Thanks ya!~ ^*^

OOoo YES! Yeah to another gold lover!! *high five! =D
Yes i know you got the skin food gold nail polish and I'm going to get it too! (VERY soon when I am able to pass by any of SF stores)
You might want to try NFU polish too which I gotten from far east, its so far the shiniest gold nail polish i've gotten! =D It should match best with all your gold jewellery/ shoes/bags! =D
I also got gold shoes (had been lemming for many months and at last i got it, photo of it posted in: http://miwitch.onsugar.com/Fashion-Shots-Fashion-Hauls-Vivi-Summer-Dress...)
Maybe we can try to post an entry all about gold stuffs. hahahx~ XD

30/5/10

the gold polishes that i have do not have the same effect as the first few pictures in this entry.
any idea how to achieve that kind of smooth polished gold effect?


posted by
30/5/10

I think our gold nail polishes could never be able to achieve the chrome effect. Those are by using foils. You can refer to ladeekim's entry about her foil nails: http://ladeekim.onsugar.com/category/foil+nails
They are very nice, but very hard to maintain i guess.


posted by
30/5/10

miwitch you really have to go get the SF polish la. I agree foils are hard to maintain, but they are so easy and fast to apply so I'm not complaining, haha


posted by
30/5/10

Okok! Arghhhh!! Can someone just mail me the bottle of SF Gold polish! ≥⌂≤ I just dont happen to pass by any of the SF outlets for the last month... =_="
I'm lazy kinda person, if I get foils, you'll probably see my fingernails stucked with bits of foil remains after 1 month still unremoved. Hahhax!


posted by
30/5/10

Hahaha you sound exactly like my cousin! I can help you get it if you want! PM me. AMK hub has a SF outlet and I just stay 5 mins walk away frm there


posted by
30/5/10

OH! You're so near my working place! (I work within AMK area, yet didn't even get any chance to passing by SF outlet..) Its ok, so paiseh to ask you to get for me even though I myself work rather near to AMK SF outlet. Dont wana trouble u... *shys*

posted by

Hi Baniko, I do not owe W7 nail polish, I was meaning that I could give it a try if i got my hands on it.. ^_^ But if you want to know, the main website is: http://www.w7trends.co.uk
You can buy it off from some sites like: http://www.cosmeticcandy.me.uk/ & http://www.cosmeticdiva.co.uk/
But they are all in Pounds as W7 is a UK brand. Smiling
