Past NOTD: Revlon Not So Blueberry


Revlon Not so Blueberry: It's scented! It's purple!
I remember sniffing my fingers here and there throughout the day! I got kind of sick of the smell at the end of the day but I still can't stop sniffing my fingers. I hope that doesn't become a habit!

Past NOTD: Sally Hansen Purple Diamond

A nice friend of mine, Jamie, gave this polish to me some time back when I mentioned I wanted DS Original and she said this was close. :)

Indoor

Sunlight- So bright!

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) :)
I would probably do a comparison swatch some time soon.

NOTD + quick look on my current stash

Today nail of the day is Zoya Caitlin

Gorgeous purple grey cream.
Application was good, went on quite smoothly, no problem. I did one thin coat and one thick coat. Kind of streaky with the first coat (probably cos' it was thin anyway), but opaque within two coats. Please pardon dry skin, was much better than yesterday! Been doing a lot of work (lifting, moving stuff blah blah blah these few days. Was dry like crazy yesterday! Lemony flutter + cotton gloves = problem solved)

My current stash (just hit the 150 mark! Or so)

Supplies etc drawer

The third drawer is almost full! Another 3-5 more bottles left to fill it up. Need to get new drawer soon!

Hope you enjoy this one! x

Funky french.

I don't do clean ups. With that being said, feel free to proceed to see my NOTD if you're not easily annoyed with nail lacquer on skin!

I painted the base with Orly Iron Butterfly, and did the tips with China Glaze LOL.
As Iron Butterfly is matte and LOL is holo, I only put top coat on the tips so it would not chip easily and yet preserve that matte finish on the base. LOL would turn matte as well if I did not add a top coat, weird! Probably because of the matte finish polish underneath.
I then stick a decal from The Face Shop on my ring finger. :D

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*

Milani Totally Cool with CND Sapphire Sparkle over. Totally gorgeous. Oh and stamped with some bundle monster plate. I was a total goof and I didn't remove the clear protective plastic and I was trying to 'konad' and was like, why doesn't the image show up whole? Then realized it was cos' of the plastic lol silly me

And today's NOTD
(sorry phone pics, I can't find my camera!)

I used Elianto Novy Blue and Love Your Nails (that was with the big box package I received) in All That.
