Today's NOTD is food inspired. Not very surprising since I love food so much!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I just might plan my next couple manicures for this whole week to be inspired by my favorite food! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I absolutely love banana chocolate (or chocolate banana?) ice cream. The best version I have tasted so far (but then again I have never tried a whole lot of different banana chocolate ice cream... hmm) is from none other than Ben and Jerry's. My favorite ice cream place, ever.<br />
<br />
Naturally, I painted in the signature clouds that was on the tub, and the rest express the contents.<br />
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pale yellow represents the base, other yellow suggests the banana pieces in the ice cream, light brown the walnuts and the pinky finger dark brown represents the chocolate.<br />
<br />
I expected to come up with something more interesting... but I just decided to go with something way simpler in the end. :)<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, I hope it wasn't too boring. Here are the polishes that were on:<br />

The index finger yellow was mixed by myself, though Orly Lemonade is similar, but darker. :)</div>

A couple of days ago I had an interview, so whenever I have them I try not to have crazy colours on my nails as according to most people, it's not "professional". :( </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although I had this colour in my stash for couple of months I have not tried it yet, as I usually prefer brighter and more fun colours! I do like the occasional plainer colours when I feel like taking a break, which is why I picked up this at a 'dusty' I came across. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
OPI Fair Dinkum Pinkum isn't a peachy nude as I thought, it took me by surprise when I applied it and found it to be more of a pink and as I stare at the colour it reminds me of strawberry ice cream! Hmm...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Now isn't that delightful! If you look carefully, there are tiny silver flakes present, which is what I really like about it as well! That really keeps it interesting! </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Application wise, this was not in my favour. Perhaps it was the way I did it, as I had streaks on a few nails, while on others when I tried to be more careful, I didn't. Those that I didn't have any streaks on, I had quite a lot of paint on the brush and lightly paint on my nail instead. So if any of you have troubles with streaks with this colour, you could try that method! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was from the Australia collection a few years back, but if you ever came across it, pick it up because it's such a charming colour that is perfectly work-safe! I hope you enjoyed this colour as much as I did, and have a great weekend! :)</div>

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.

It has a little touch of gray in it and a little touch of brown" Yup, it really is different than other mint greens I have, and I absolutely love this shade. It is going to be in my stash for a very long time!!<br /></div>The Nail Diaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06899879045678950850noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038107533093487756.post-16875579691556373232011-07-05T15:35:00.002+08:002011-07-15T18:11:02.008+08:00Past NOTD: Sally Hansen Purple Diamond<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;">A nice friend of mine, <a href="http://squovalicious.blogspot.com/">Jamie</a>, gave this polish to me some time back when I mentioned I wanted DS Original and she said this was close. :)<br /></div><br /><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3143/5747053633_7be63a5c0d.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 375px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3143/5747053633_7be63a5c0d.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Indoor<br /><br /><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2170/5747062139_6b8abc70bf.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 375px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2170/5747062139_6b8abc70bf.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Sunlight- So bright!<br /><br />Now that I do have DS Original, I find that DS Original is more purple and blue-toned compared to SH Purple Diamond (which is more pink) :)<br />I would probably do a comparison swatch some time soon.<br /></div>The Nail Diaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06899879045678950850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038107533093487756.post-80705561921361082302011-07-05T15:34:00.001+08:002011-07-05T15:34:31.389+08:00Swatch Folder: Orly Pure Porcelain<div style="text-align: center;">Here is Orly Pure Porcelain on my little sister.<br /><span style="display: block;" class="l0" id="j127986790"><br /><img alt="image from http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3128/5805148142_6d0a241281.jpg" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3128/5805148142_6d0a241281.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="image from http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2406/5805145724_3b3023b331.jpg" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2406/5805145724_3b3023b331.jpg" /></span><br />Short nails and her being so fidgety, makes it kind of hard to paint!<br />I've tried it on myself, and I really like it!<br />Clean and nice, but not too boring.<br /><br /></div>The Nail Diaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06899879045678950850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038107533093487756.post-51290354406148658902011-07-05T01:17:00.004+08:002011-07-05T01:55:21.668+08:00Past NOTD: Hard Candy Beetle<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="display: block;" class="l0" id="j127984249"><br /><img alt="image from http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2275/5747613244_91175cf77b.jpg" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2275/5747613244_91175cf77b.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="image from http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2103/5747467666_0eb084e8bb.jpg" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2103/5747467666_0eb084e8bb.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="image from http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5150/5747581950_f2ac6ca924.jpg" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5150/5747581950_f2ac6ca924.jpg" /><br /><br />Hard Candy Beetle: Dupe for Orly Space Cadet.

This is one of my past manicure: <span>Bubbly Bombshell</span> from Orly Pin Up collection.<br />I totally love this polish, I remember gasping and being so excited about it when I first saw it. It is so SO pretty!! This polish consist of fuchsia glitter of two different size, one is bigger than the other. The smaller glitter is more dominant than the bigger. It covers the whole nail and is opaque in three coats. Two would suffice, but I would like more coverage so I went with three. :)<br /><span style="display: block;" class="l0" id="j127275381"><br /><img alt="image from http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5156/5829639910_50381a36ac.jpg" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5156/5829639910_50381a36ac.jpg" /></span><br />Love. <3<br /></div>The Nail Diaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06899879045678950850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038107533093487756.post-58189387481432385282011-06-14T00:55:00.005+08:002011-06-14T01:11:21.953+08:00Swatch folder: OPI Espresso Your Style<div style="text-align: center;">I apologize for not posting in weeks, months.. however long it was. ;)<br /><br />Today's swatch is OPI Espresso Your Style. I swatched a couple of polishes a few days ago when I was free at home as I was sick.. so I guess I will be posting more swatches in the next few days, along with maybe a couple of old NOTDs. :)<br /><span style="display: block;" class="l0" id="j127037977"><br /><img style="width: 500px; height: 375px;" alt="image from http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3225/5829466284_dbdc35da2b_z.jpg" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3225/5829466284_dbdc35da2b_z.jpg" /><br /><br />I then decided to play with my matte top coat since I haven't been using it for a long long long long while.<br /><br /><img style="width: 500px; height: 375px;" alt="image from http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3012/5828915379_2a03a15dda_z.jpg" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3012/5828915379_2a03a15dda_z.jpg" /></span><br />I would describe Espresso Your Style probably as a very dark auburn with bronze shimmer.<br />I was kind of disappointed as I was expecting the shimmer in Espresso to have more.... oomph, as I recall seeing it in a nail salon. Guess my brain amplified the color in my memory than what it really was... ahh IT IS still a pretty color anyway! :)<br /></div>The Nail Diaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06899879045678950850noreply@blogger.com0
