Daily Dressup Shots

SKIN FOOD Malaysia & Singapore launched the NEW Good Afternoon series BB Cream on Feburary 2012 (Ah~ yes, i am so slow in my entry posting.. ^^")

The 5 Good Afternoon BB Cream:
- contains skin-beneficial tea extracts
- each adds a different feel and glow to your skin.
All five varieties are enriched with various tea extracts for a long-lasting vibrant complexion.
These Good Afternoon BB Creams, containing soft-focus blooming powder and oil- absorbing powder, help to maintain bright makeup looks all day long while providing daily sun protection and good coverage for uneven complexions. Their textures range from illuminating to matte for different skin types and different makeup looks.

Below picture taken from SKIN FOOD Korea:

I was so honoured to be invited by SKIN FOOD Singapore to attend the launch of the Good Afternoon BB Cream at Malaysia  Kuala Lumpur! And  Na was invited too (I only knew it after a day i got my invitation)! I was so happy that I could FLY overseas with her! (our first time in like 7021641649 friendship years to FLY on a plane together! *Excited*)

There is no better place to take NOTD (Nails of the day) than taking it in the mid sky, nearest to the sun! lolx~ Sorry, not beautifully done as I did it in a hurry the day before I flew to KL. ^.^" FYI, the gold glitters is from Skin Food polish. ^^

Here we are at Impiana hotel. Once again for me! Because I just stayed in Impiana on last year December for Comics Fiesta. Déjà vu.

After touch down for awhile, we had our lunch and we dress up to head towards KLCC Suria (Shopping mall). The Tea Party was held at Harrods.

The big Harrods mascot is so cute! I kind of regret for not looking around longer inside Harrods store, my hands are itchy from thinking to own a Harrods bag.. hahax~

We are wayyyy at the inner end of the store. Harrods is quite big! To have a tea party in here is really nice, the sun shines in from the windows, making the room feel cozy. The host is the lady wearing the blue summer hat.

The foods and the goodies. Every table has a label with our names. How exclusive it is! ^^

Here shows the demo for Skin food BB Cream in both Day & Night makeup. There are 2 models and 2 MUA. The other model and MUA is standing way at the front hence I didn't took any pictures of them..

I took this picture because this is quite a funny conversation between Na, Cheryl (from Skinfood SG) and the waiter. kekex~
Bascially Na wanted a glass of plain water (she's very thirsty), the waiter didn't quite catch what she said and came back with a sparkling water + a bill for us to pay. lolx! Anyways Cheryl helped us to settled it~ ^^ Our thoughts: Seriously, no plain ice water in Harrods? *puzzled*

Left - Right: MUA , Model 1, Model 2 (Cheryl), MUA.

This Tea Party is English theme and there is a best dress category so I'm all prepared for it~ ^^ I kinda hate it my hair wasn't all yellow, I didn't got time to bleach it before I flew to KL. And perhaps I should have gotten a headdress or hat to match my costume? I totally forgotten about it! (=_=;+) Anyhoo, here are the top 3 winners!
From Left to right: 2nd prize, 1st prize, 3rd prize.

We were then divided into small groups. Our table is for the oily/combination skin. On the table shows the Peach Sake Pore Sebum Skin care range and some wash off Masks.
From left-right:
Peach Sake Toner: This lightweight, refreshing toner, with rice sake and peach extract rich in vitamins A and C, minimizes shine and the appearance of pores.
Peach Sake Emulsion: Enriched with vitamin C emulsion that contains peach and sake extracts. Tightens pores and controls excess sebum.
Peach Sake Serum: Enriched with vitamin C serum that contains peach and sake extracts. Tightens pores and controls excess sebum.
Carrot Sun Cream SPF 30 PA++: A sunscreen contains the nutrient-enriched extract of organic carrots grown in pure water from Jeju Island and keeps your skin healthy.
Lemon Pack: This lemon based exfoliating mask is rich in fruit acid that removes impurities and dead skin for clean and supple skin.
Black Sugar Mask: Moisturizing and exfoliating wash off scrub mask with minerals, vitamins and glycolic acid. Cleanses and revitalizes the skin.
Acorn Jelly Mask: A mask pack that effectively tightens oil-clogged enlarged pores and exfoliates layers of dead skin cells with powdered acorns from Jiri-mountain. (For this mask, everyone doesn't like the smell of it. I wonder how the user feel having this on their face for 10 mins.. o_O")

The whole group of us! All of the ladies are from Malaysia except Na, me and Cheryl~ ^^

After the Tea Party, we went ahead with SHOPPING!!!~ ^o^/~ Nostalgic times with Na @ A&W! Fufufufuu~~~ There isn't much shopping photos as I didn't have enough sleep, was pretty tired by the end of the day.

And that marks the end of our 2 day 1 night trip at Malaysia KL! ^^
↓ Can you guess why we did this expression? Kekeke~ ↓

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

Product names written and coloured in turquoise were given by its company to me for trial. Expenses for flight, transport, food were paid for by SKIN FOOD Singapore & Malaysia

The first look at this pic, I went "SHOOOOooo CUUUUuuuttttooooo!! ♥" (in my heart) Lolx!
Total love♥ to this colourful nail art which was actually drawn by Saku. Sometimes, you never know how CRAZY a cosplayer (anime fan) can be. Opps! Or should I say, you never know what CRAZY stuffs a cosplayer can do! kekekex~ Anyhoo, its still crazy nonetheless. XD

Well, let me just explain briefly here... (My explanation may not be very accurate, but the gist is there! ^^")
These characters drawn on fake nails are actually shota moe characters from Inazuma Eleven (Only 10 characters here though, cos we only have 10 fingers!)

'Shota', meaning young boys (Japanese & Chinese: 正太) More details at Wiki.
'Moe' (Pronounced Mo-eh), kinda means that the particular type or style character is being LOVED so much by anime fans that someone came out the term 'moe' (Japanese:萌え Chinese:萌) to describe the feeling towards the characters. I personally feel that it meant the characters are SOOooo CUTE that you can't resist it and you probably would nose bleed if you keep looking at them. XDDD~ Its like an extreme liking towards the character. But of course, everyone has their own personal preference. Eg, some might love characters with glasses or some love them in butler/maid costumes. So you categorise your prefered style and make them your own moe characters. ^^
For more detail on moe, read HERE

Obviously to say, Saku is a Shota-moe fangirl (did i get the name rite? =p~)... A fangirl who loves cute young boys! lolx! XD

The tools Saku used: (you might laugh! kekekx.. i did =p~)
Moe nails,done. (strike off from to-do list)
Spent a lot of time on them. Lesson learned: Don't be stupid to use waterbased pen for lining. Smudges and stain the paint!
Acrylic paint, 0 sized brush, a writing pen and lots of patience.

And lolx at what she commented under her nail art pic:
Mum: Oi, stop staring at nails. Go clean room. LOL. orz
She just shook her head. BUT I DID shove the nails in her face. And she went "whatever." =3=)//

 

Sho cute! XDDD~~~ Perhaps Saku could practice using nail polish to draw them next time.. kekex~
Saku, next time draw me Sailormoon characters pls. XDDD~~~

This post is super random! wahhaax..~

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

I AM DA Invisible Buyer for the recent MAC Private Sale!!! Lolx~ Actually, its thanks to Na (everbluec) who helped me anyhow purchased these items (While I was working). hehex~

Remembered my past entry about Korean Minx Nails? If not, click -> HERE to read ^_^

Well now, I'm showing how my nails looked after 2 weeks & 2 days!!! I know, usually nail polish will come off around 1 week or so, how can I actually stick Minx for so long??!
Truth is, I could! Cos i'm lazy to remove it!! hahhaxx~ But besides that, I wanted to also show everyone how the minx will turn out when the nails are heavily used, but still applied with a topcoat every now & then.

So... TA DA!!!!!!!!!!!

After 2 weeks & 2 days...〓〓▶

Here is.... my Yucky nails!! Except my pinky nail, its STILL PERFECTO!
Though its really yucky in this pic, but in real life, people don't really LOOK soooo CLOSELY at my nails, all they comment was "HEY, Why you got F1 Flag on your nails?!"
And a special comment I gotten was, "Your nails... How DID you paint it?!"
Then my reaction was *waves my fingers in air* "Oh.... nothing its just stickers." And didn't dare to show them my yucky fingersnails.. XD~
But at least they noticed!

More often than not, the people who asked about my nails are GUYS. Probably cos they REALLY thought I'm into F1 and all that, and they just comment &  laughed why I put race flags on my nails.. ^_^"

 

Application method:
I saw that there is a change in theeunway-show's application method, a little different from the previous that I posted.

I think I will tryout using the heat to soften the sticker first before sticking to my nails. Previously I stick first and apply heat to the nails later.
There might be a difference if the steps are swapped.

Product names written and coloured in turquoise were given by its company to me for trial.

YES! You didn't read wrong! IT IS MINX!!
I had talked about Minx Nails the last time (click HERE to read previous Minx post), and had wanting to try out Minx and now, I was given a chance to do so!

Thanks so much to Joanna from therunway-show@blogspot~ (^__^)v~

The kind soul asked which design I would wish to try and so, I'm thinking since now there's this F1 race, I'll take Black-white checkered (look like the race flag design yah?) NAHHHHhhh~~ Just kidding =p
I chose it because it looked PUNK to me! I love checks! Though I'm not wearing Punk anymore.. (there goes my Punk-sai theory again) but the checks could look cool with any outfit!

And now on with the pictures! ^_^

 

I'd read through the step by step tutorial first before I try them on my fingers!
Click the pics to enlarge the tutorial pics.

Korean Minx Nails material is a kind of foil/film (though thin, but its rather firm) with an adhesive back. The body will not crease when you peel it off from the plastic, except for the starting point where you scratch to peel it out.

Even though I've read the tutorial and following exactly the steps, but I find that the minx stickers still crease at certain edges.
I am so looking forward to flawless, creaseless Minx nails hence I trial and error in  different ways on the Minx starting from my first to the last finger, achieving different results on every one of them.
1. Sticking the Minx on centre of nail plate aligning the base nearest to my cuticle, pressing down the minx with flat end of wooden stick. Starting from centre and slowly pushing towards edges.
2. Same method of applying the Minx, but this time I use my finger to press the Minx and slowly pushing towards edges so to reduce bubbles and creases. It seems that fingers work better than wooden stick. Creases reduced and minx look more smooth.
3. When there is a crease, I use wooden stick to flatten the crease.
4. I use finger nail to flatten the crease.
5. I use hair straightener's high heat to heat at the creases a longer time, to see if it can shrink or soften the crease. After which using wooden stick to flatten it. It seems that it works alittle bit better than without heat.
6. Using hair straightener high heat to go over the minx after sticking it to the nail. It didn't shrink so whatsoever.
7. I cut the Minx base that fits my cuticle shape before pealing out from the plastic.
8. I applied both base and top coat before and after the Minx nail application.

I'd only tried it on my left hand, cos its easy to apply it with my right hand. My left hand is almost handicap in nail polishing and art & craft works. =_="
I will be looking out for better ways to apply the Minx nails so it will look like the one on my ring and pinky finger, which is almost to perfect. If you girls had tried Minx and have better suggestions pls feel free to comment! =)

Before I end this, there're few conclusions I'd came out with after trying out on the Korean Minx Nails:
1. Got to file your nail plates to smooth it, otherwise the surface of  Minx Nails will not look smooth too
2. A rounder, more perfect shaped nail plate will be of advantage in using Minx Nails, as its original template has a very rounded base (cuticle end)
3. The 10 Minx nails all comes in different sizes, hence need to measure to your nail plate size before application. (Its said that left fingers are slightly smaller than right, so use whichever size suits your nails.)
4. Cuticles need to be pushed back and/or cut neatly, otherwise Minx nails will peel off easily at the edges
5. Minx nails has short lifespan. I wore it for only 1 day and it started to wear at free edge, but was said that it should only wear to that extend and will not wear any further. Perhaps also, its the application method which I might not be doing it in the rightest way. All users can trial and error on their own in order to get it right and able to give it a longer lifespan.
6. Got to apply topcoat everyday to prolong its lifespan.
7. Its fun to apply Minx! Though it looks rather tedious but there is very short waiting time, no worries in smudging your nail polish or whatsoever! I can even buy a few sets and change the nail patterns every 1-2 weeks already! ^o^~

Once again, thank you Joanna for giving the chance to tryout and review for your Minx nails! ^_^
Ladies who wish to try out Minx nails can go to therunway-show@blogspot now to take a look, they are having Set Promo right now!

In future I look forward to try out GOLD MInx Nails! Hehehex~ ^▽^
Lastly, i know I do not have nice yummy looking fingernails like most of you, so please be kind with me yah... m(U_U)m *bows*

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

Product names written and coloured in turquoise were given by its company to me for trial.

I was (LUCKILY) invited by L'Oreal Paris Cosmetics to their Chrome Intensity Bloggers' Party @ fika cafe (Arab street)
na and I went, along we brought few onsugarettes with us to this party.

Here is my OOTD
Long Inner purple dress (showing off a little chiffon under the layer short skirt)
Black-white stripes side button top
Grey layer shorts Skirt
Brown thick Belt
Dusty pink underknee stockings
(All the above are bought from overseas)
Black multi-chain long necklace: AMK HUB (3 for $10)
Bracelets: Cineleisure & Chinatown Market 3rd level
Colourful Heels: Bought during CozyCot event (na didn't wear it so sold it to me! U know friends can't give shoes as gifts so I gota buy from her)
Blue ribbon hairclip: ARTBOX @ AMKHUB

My HOTD
Rightttt.... Messy hair i know, but I'm running out of time! (End up taking cab down Bugis) hahax..
With half of my hair pin up already, I still sweat alot because that day, the humidity @ city area is so darn high!

1 SkinFood Haul
I must thank ladeekim for helping me buy this pretty gold polish!! Thanks kim! ^__^ (I'm not lazy or wat, I'm just too busy or just didn't get to pass by any SkinFood counters!) And also thanks to hazelnutt for flaunting this gold polish in your blog, otherwise I might still be considering to get it or not till now. =p
Below is 2 most glittery gold polish I own, a comparison of both...

My NOTD
My nails all short and fat while I have such scrawny fingers, skiny hands.. Not pretty at all =_=
Sorry my hands didn't sleep well day before hence my undernails grew dark circles heh.

Guess who's fat playful fingers came into the pic? I shall review it on my actual entry of the Bloggers' Party! ^_^
So, as can see from the pic, SF look very light gold, while NFU is yellowish!
SF's is very densed with glitters while NFU's is sparse but their glitters reflects more beautifully (i find) than SF under spot light.

My LOTD
Nothing much on the makeup, the usual stuffs.. But Its time to flaunt the pink lips!
I'm using my recent bought cool tone NYX Paris lippie. (Its definitely more brighter in reallife!) Its very lasting, even after I drank, ate lunch and ate dessert, still there!
I have one hotter pink than this NYX Paris, I shall next time use it! (Most likely next sunday as I'm attending Streetfest event!) =D

Here comes the L'Oreal Paris MUA, Julyen! See how FAIR he is! OMG.. And I'm like... Leaning tower of Pisa beside him.. OTL||| While he stands so... model-ish! He's so cool! >_< He kept saying, "You're so tall, you're so tall. I felt intimidated by your height!"  (^_^"" My heels are only like 4cm high leh... =X)

Somemore sneak peeks of MUA's stuffs at the party...

Till then! Cheers! (●♡●)

Previously, I blogged about Covermark Moisture Veil foundations comparing between the old and the new LX version.
I had ordered from Fr3b the new LX foundation set @ $83.74 then, and here are the pics & further review of the it.

Review of Covermark Moisture Veil LX Base Foundation, Part 2: (Part 1 click here)
1. Smooth to apply, powder is alot finer than old version and can hide large pores well.
2. The shade is perfect for my skintone, although its half a shade darker than my previous' but LX makes my skin look more natural and makes it look like I didn't have alot of MU on. It is unlike the old version where I can see that the MU is rather thick although the amount I applied is not.
3. It brightens my skintone colour quite well. (My skin is dull, with thick MU sometimes is still not able to make my face any brighter)
3. Coverage is as good as the old one (light-medium coverage)
4. Wet apply (using a damp sponge) has a better stay on my skin compare to applying it dry
5. Foundation stays well for whole day (12 hrs+), only T-zone area became oily. But comparing to the old version, using LX my face look more matt.
6. After long hours of wearing, the foundation did not melt/smudge, except for T-zone area where it's being melted a little by the sebum.
6. After cleansing, face feels smooth, minimum clogged pores.

Samples: Covermark Deep cleansing oil, Treatment Cleansing Milk, Mineral Soap

Samples: Moisture Clear Base (in tinted beige colour), Hydro Intensive Lotion, Skinclear Emulsions

Aww... isn't this nice.. A bag hanger (to place this on edge of table and hang bag on the hook area). I had been wanting to get one and now I got it in a MU set! ^_^

Originally sold at Robinsons: Casing $22, Foundation $60 - Total should be $82. This set is really worthwhile with all those freebies in it ^_^

Another GOLD pouch I got now~ (likey the matt gold texture!) Its rather big and it can store the new LX long foundation casing)

The LX new casing is so pretty! Black base with gold shimmerings, its as big as a cellphone. When you put it on your hand, some might think that it IS a cellphone! ^_^ The back of the casing is in Chrome Gold! And reflects! ♥
2 Big ♥s is that the mirror is bigger and longer now.. and the spongey is seperated from the powder! ^.^v~

NOTD: Skinfood Milk Creamy Prism Nail #2

A shop selling MOSAIC brand nail polish opposite my working place, hence bought 1 to try out. Glitters!
Without flash -> with flash

♠ Back to topic!!  ♠

Other Fr3b hauls & brief reviews...
Dr Wu Hydrating Lotion & Hydrating Serum: Both texture are nice, watery-cream, easily absorbed into skin. However after effect is that my skin will feel very sticky! But after applying another moisturizer ontop, the stickiness feeling will be gone. I might consider to buy, but maybe not these 2 products.
I had yet to try their whitening range but tested once at Watsons on back of my hand, it gave me an immediate effect of whitening. OoO!
DrJart Pore-X Recover Pre-Base: Clear transparent MU primer, when applied it feels smooth but has an oily touch (but its not oily, its just the texture feels smooth-oily rather than smooth-powdery ^_^") . I assume that its like silicon base (like Sana brand MU primer). After applying foundation, the skin feels very smooth and almost flawless. It matifies the skin well, and MU stays for whole day except for T-zone area which I feel that the primer
doesn't make the MU stay well enough on oilier skins. So far, I'm ♥ing it for it covers up my large pores and makes my skin smooth!

♠ Thank you for reading! And I'm half dozing off already at this hour....  ~_¬ ♠

Back to my GOLD Nails Obsession!! (This ain't nothing to do with Jap Obsession ok...) Because my pink nails are fading off after few weeks.. so its time to change!
I put on Jordana Coat -> Skin Food -> NFU.Oh -> Jordana coat. TADA! Sorry my cam can never capture the colour correctly in such a dim room..

My FOTD, OOTD, and HOTD (hair of the day?)

When it comes to my OFF Day, I'm very excited! Dressing up is one of my favourite thing to do...Lalalala~

Oooooook. My forehead is never smooth, spots and blemishes here and there.. Conceal conceal conceal... is what I always do. hahhax.. =p
To make my face look shorter and cover my not so nice forehead, I use my bangs to do the work.

Recently just bought a translucent chifon blouse from - http://www.fairebelle.com with Anna as the model!~ Thanks Anna for introducing the site ^_^ (Seems like the site had moved to LJ? Before, it was host on a domain.)
The blouse name is: ALEXANDER WANG INSPIRED BATWING SHEER TOP
I'd always wanted to buy chifon blouse/tops.. at least for current season, I want to wear clothings made of lighter and thinner fabric, so my sweat is easily evaporated~
So loving my cute pink shorts, first time wearing it too after putting into wardrobe like...3 months?! And yeah, you can see my HIGH heels that is so high that I kinda made all my other friends look so short... ^_^"" Ops, my bad...

Jap Obession @ Cathay
Organised by the group of people who organised Street Festival.
On 20th Mar, there were Jrock band performance and a cosplay competition. One of the organiser requested me to find them 5 cosplayers to 'park' them there, like mascots, they need to take pictures with the public. So here goes my 5 friends whom I troubled.. (Because I was too busy and tired so I had to skipped this offer! :( )

Thanks you guys for helping out for the event!! *Muacks!* (Kie's drawings on costume is absolutely stunning.. Just like the originals OMG... Kie: Have u actually finished the drawings? I can't even realise it from this pic...)
Cosplayed Characters From left to right: Hizaki from Versailles . Kyo from Dir en grey . Chii pair from Chobits

Taken with my cell phone... And what the F*** is going on with my last picture.. Some 'six sense' going on?!
Cosplayed Character by Selphie: Yuuki Cross from Vampire Knights

There's this booth which take pictures for FREE! They print the photos out from a Selphy. I tease Selphie about her name being same with the printing gadget.. XD
Selphy was not bad! The photos actually are not THAT orange in the originals,it's because I took these pics with my cam under orange lights..
All our faces are so FLAWLESS in the pics! Me like!
Note: I'm not pointing middle finger in the last pic yah.. Its my index finger hidden among my hair!

Shopping @ Cathay

After all the talking and watching of performances, I moved on to shop around Cathay while waiting for Nana. And see what I found! $5 for a piece of bracelet, great buy!
At first I dare not ask for price seeing that this thingy is so interesting, I was thinking 1 might be for $20?
A necklace I bought was $15. Big chunky and in fashion (at least for now) necklace but at a price rather reasonable!

Rightttt.. my fingers are too slim for this thing to be worn as a ring! Check out more pics from everbluec!

Shopping @ Plaza Sing

After having dinner with na, we went to Sasa and John Little.
I've gotten:
Suisse Oxy Water Spray - for just $19.90 @ Sasa! At least I find that this is a bigger bottle than Evian, and its famous for its skincare product so its worth to buy!
(I asked Sasa BA for Beauty Formula's Cooling Spray but she say it's no longer available! OTL||| My heart sunk...)
Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer (No. 52) - $19.90 less 20% @ John Little. Was influence by someone (u know who) and gotten this as well.. But afraid now that the colour doesn't suit me because I realised it actually has shade 53, but John Little wasn't selling that shade! Should have restricted myself from buying somethings that I didn't intend to buy! *slaps own hands*
EP e/s Quad - Na helped to buy for me, haven't swatch yet as the e/s are so pretty to look at..
LA Colors e/s palette - Goody from Na (Isit meant for the Gold makeup competition? hehehex...)

On 21st, I was at an event.. I stood under darn hot sunlight from 8am - 12pm and see what happened!?!?! (Refer to arrows)
I nearly faint because it was soooo hot and I'm working too hard as well. I used Suisse Spray to try to moisturise my face, it did moisturise but it didn't help to cool my temperate as like the Cooling Water(by Beauty Formula) I often used.
So now my face (although put on sunblock) has darken by 1 tone, but my body has darkened by 2-3 tones! Stupid sun. stupid event.
I just hope I wont get more pigmentations on my body and face... and LUCKY i didn't faint... Otherwise it sured to be aired in the news on the next day with Prime Minister carrying me to the ambulance van. XD~

[[[I am in no way affiliated with any beauty & fashion related companies, or organisations or am I representing them.]]]

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...

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.
