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! ♥

Swatch Folder: Elianto Night Glitters

Today I bring you Elianto Night Glitters.
I picked this up the other day at a nail salon for only $0.50!
I thought it looks pretty cool in the bottle when I picked it up, but I never thought I would fall in love with the color!

What a beauty! Dark olive green with sparkles.. ~~** hmm.

Bottle pics:


Please let me know are you drooling yet (or not). Hee.

Past NOTD: Spark de Triomphe

I didn't really think I would want any of the Serena Williams duo- that is till I saw pictures of Spark de Triomphe online.. then bam. Another love story begins.

This polish is gorgeous. It's kind of sad to see White Shatter concealing the true beauty of it, the original idea of how the whole look was supposed to be as initiated by OPI.
Obviously I do not want the White Shatter burying its goodness, and neither do I really want it so I sold it away! To another good home where it will be appreciated.

p/s: I used three coats for full coverage.

Past NOTD: Bubbly Bombshell

Hi! This is one of my past manicure: Bubbly Bombshell from Orly Pin Up collection.
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. :)

Purple Reign + Party of Five Glitters

These few days I've been changing my mani so often thanks to the increase of my untried, which I can't wait to get them tried! Most of my recent NOTDs are from the polishes that Gia sent me. :)
Well a few days ago, I did another purple (I love purple lol) manicure.
I used Pure Ice Purple Reign and WnW Party of Five Glitters.
Purple Reign is a kind of mauve-y dusty purple with gold micro-glitter, so pretty!

I have to apologize for my dry skin, I'm going through this... um 'phase' where my skin is always dry and peel-y no matter what I do. It's getting better now! *cross fingers*

Then realized it was cos' of the plastic lol silly me
