My nails through instagram

I have been REALLY wanting to update this space for such a long time, but school has been taking up all my time even to the point where I had on chipped polish for months and, oh dear lord, they have just been so neglected. 

Anyhoo, here are the occasional snaps of my nails through the beloved filtered app.

Easter nails! OPI Mermaid Tears and Milani's dupe of DL Happy Birthday


OPI Who Are You Wearing

China Glaze IDK

Christmas nails

Pre- Christmas nails in November. I was really excited, okay.
Base: Orly Iron Butterfly.

Yepppp that is all. Sadly.
I should also mention my camera is missing... the iPhone camera should come in handy about now. 
To end this post, here are some cupcakes. Everybody love cupcakes. 




Have a swell evening!

Ahh I am getting more and more in love with flakies now! I originally intended to only layer #58 over black (hate #58, I thought it was ugly but over black it's a whole different story!) when I recalled seeing flaky layered over ANOTHER flaky somewhere on the web and decided to add on #38! Next thing I know, I'm adding on #53 as well! Not too sure how I feel about the manicure at first but I know I don't hate it.. friend loved it and I wanted to test the new b/c t/c combi so I left this on for 3 days.. this was day 3 when I took these photos hence the tip wear!

Do you love flakies, and if so, how many do you own? :D

I love mints.

I love mints. I love mints. I love mints.

I. Love. Mints.

And this comes is a super pretty rose bottle! It also has golden shimmer! :D
Absolutely gorgeous, it is a shame that it's pretty sheer though! I did two coats and as you can see from the above pictures you can see VNL (visible nail line -if you do not already know- yay you learnt something new!) I could probably try layering, but I wouldn't mind adding more layers for this pretty!

You have seen this a thousand times over on other nail blogs.
And here it is again. I absolutely love this. It's such a gorgeous polish- tiny blue and gold glitter mixed altogether in clear base- it's pretty awesome. I fell in love with this and am in love with this more than the kind-of-overrated Mad As A Hatter. I never really liked MAAH in the beginning, I thought it was kind of ugly and never understood why so many people are crazy over it. I sold away my mini and for some reason decided to give it another try, so I got my lovely friend in the States- the lovely Gia, who found it to send me one. I can say I don't dislike it now, and am going to give it a few more tries before I decide on whether it's keep or purge!

NOTD: Angelica

I admit it- I'm pretty bad at naming things. Frankens, NOTDs.. except dogs. I think I have like over a dozen dog names in my head.

So anyway, I've been obsessed with fimo bits lately.. I just got a friend to bought a whole bunch on eBay for me! (cos' they do not ship to Singapore, boo!)
I've decided to add these hearts to my manicure to make it more prettier and interesting, together with some pearl stones.

For this manicure I used Steady as She Rose and Golden Rainbow, both by OPI!
Steady as She Rose is making its way to my top 10 favorite nail lacquers! It applies so smoothly and agh, I just love the color! ♥
