Spring

Sorry I have been neglecting this space. 
Today I got round to uploading some photos so here they are... of nails :)
You can enlarge to see better.

KBShimmer Berry Patch
Looks a bit like berry smoothie? The formula is awesome and just perfect for spring! I have quite a few KBShimmer and I can't wait to use them! This was 3 coats with topcoat.

Pretty and Polished Tart
It's tad less blue toned than the picture. Formula was good, but I found that the glitter in my bottle was a bit sparse compared to other pictures I see online. I love the blue shimmer! This was 3 coats with topcoat as well.
The nail mail gave me much headache though, since it incurred VAT and I had to pay extra £8 for the administrative fee to Royal Mail. Arghhhh it wouldn't happen in Singapore.



Cookies and Cream
This jelly sandwich was inspired by Sarah from Chalkboard Nails or Of Lacquers and Laces. 

I used 
2 coats of OPI Don't Touch My Tutu, 
1 Coat of Sonnetarium Samurai Princess, 
1 coat of OPI Don't Touch My Tutu and finally 
1 Coat of Sonnetarium Samurai Princess with topcoat.

It wasn't too thick thankfully :) I really loved the look and Samurai Princess a lot! I shall get the Aritaum Modi Glam Tweed Coat too since I love the mix of black and white glitter. 
Sadly I can't afford the Lynnderella Connect the Dots even though I love the extra shimmer it has.

Nubar Prize
Did this for Chinese New Year. One of the super rare red nail polish I have, it sparkles!
It made me fall in love with scattered holo... but this was the only nice one from the Nubar Prisms collection and I was kind of unwilling to splurge on so many Ozotics.
Anyway it dried quite gritty, so this was 2 coats of topcoat.

Megan Miller Caribbean
This is a dusty green crelly, formula was thin but still pretty good. The highlight must be the cork cap.

Megan Miller Caribbean with Innisfree 72 Green Christmas
Tried a jelly sandwich but the Innisfree polish was too thick and the glitter sinks down to the bottom too much so I couldn't get a good coverage. Such a pity really.

Essence Walk on Air
This is just so shiny and a perfect bright blue creme! Shall be my dupe for Nails Inc Baker Street (why doesn't Boots have the 3 for 2 offer anymore? I would be glad to get that and some Sprinkles) and anyway it was the same shade of blue used for my musical.

Lush Lacquer Mr Bubble
My first indie and second time using :D 
The glitter suspension was awesome at first but I don't know why after I used it for this manicure they started sinking. Anyone has this problem?


Spring Fishtail Nails
This was done using Etude House Dreams of a Girl, Etude House Sweet Peppermint and Etude House Visible Lilac (??) to match my Innocent Smoothie beanie :D 

Random mini nailmail from Harlow & Co. Finally managed to get my hands on piCture pOlish kryptonite! 
Can't wait to use the Happy Hands Motherboy too, the rest are Ozotic 617 and Glitter Gal Teal Blue.
Now waiting for the Llarowe mail, hope it reaches safely soon :D

Some older manicures:
China Glaze Rainstorm
Once again, inspired by Sarah from Chalkboard Nails. 
Actually I bought China Glaze Rainstorm just one day before she posted that up. But I didn't have any white glitter so I frankened my own. The rest were all the same. Wore this on my way to UK :D

Sakura Nails with Essence Enchanted Fairy
For my colleague and I actually did it for my aunt and cousin too. Used OPI Alpine Snow and a random Crayon manicure pink shimmer mixed with Etude House Dreams of a Girl for the flowers.

That's about it for now!

Mega Update

Wow, my blog is indeed very dead. 
I have been so distracted with so many things happening everyday, for the better I hope :) 
My (few) Singapore loots for the past few months. 
While these does not seem that guilty, rest assured my Zara sales shopping is making myself super guilty. And Taobao...

Here goes the Singapore ones.

Arcade Tiles Organza Skater Skirt in Cream
The Organza is so pretty and I'm lemming for a cream skirt (though more of a silky kind) ever since I saw a display at Forever 21.

TTR Bimba Bag in Rainbow


TTR Embossed Floral Shorts in Sunny Yellow

TTR Happy Summer Shorts in Boat Blue

TTR Marshmallow Clouds Skater Skirt in Aqua
I'm so gonna love this material!
A pity black is sold out :(

TTR Happy Holidays Pants in Black
Kind of regretted getting it because the pants from Zara sales were so much better and I got to try the fit which is awesome!

TTR Racefront Tank Top in Pristine White
TTR Racefront Tank Top in Freshwater Mint
Just joined BO for these 2.

Mostly sale loots from TTR yup.

And moving on to the Zara ones.
I have also realised since my trip to Barcelona that Zara Kids fits me better. No need to struggle to find XS.
And Zara Kids is cheaper too!
I fell in love with a pair of lace up leather boots but there were out of stock for my size!
Here:


And they were so cheap too!

Alright, so Zara...
And I was looking at Singapore website and I realised how ridiculous they cost. These stuff I got are almost all much cheaper than regular Singapore blogshop items.


 Flocked Pants

Checkered Shirt

 Embroidery Dress
Probably returning. Oh yes, I love the return policy ^^


 Blue Jacquard Pants
Bought this from Barcelona

 Corduroy Pants in Navy


Marl Coat in Grey

Ponte Pinafore Dress


Olive Sweatshirt

Red Corduroy Pants
I have some obsession with anything warm, fluffy or corduroy.

Basic Sweater in Grey

2 Tone Lace Dress
But it's not really lace...

Basic Sweater in Navy


Jacquard Pants
I seem to have an obsession with Jacquard, Flocking and anything textured.

I have another pair of jeggings that's kind of Jacquard but I can't find the picture on the website.
And this super nice Birdie Summery Print dress from Zara. No picture...

And finally, the pull and bear loot:
Floral Print Sweatshirt

Okay, the ASOS loot:

River Island Lace Skater Dress

So this sums up my Boxing Day sales, excluding the Taobao ones!

Quite hefty.

And maybe 2 more pairs of pants from Barcelona Zara which I am lazy to bother about.

I don't know if I hope I'll be here for Zara Summer sales or not, I'm sure I'll go broke though.
