Trend Setting with Nails

Nails for the week...

Sharing...

Just wanted to share a few things with you before I procrastinate and forget all about this.

Christmas & New Year Looks...

I'm not a make up artist but I think I did pretty ok.

The picture on the left hand side is what I did for Christmas. Slightly lined eyes and a glossy pinkish lip.

On the left hand side, I went for dark smokey eyes and a nude glossy lip. 

I worked more on the highlighting and contouring on both pictures.

Bling Bling...

I got these a while ago and love them. I don't usually get accessories as I'm allergic to anything that's not made of pure metal. Good thing these are stainless steel.

Nails...

This is what I did last night. It was my first time using nail stickers / foil. I thought it was going to be a ton of work but suprisingly it wasn't. It didn't take long, you can get these at a reasonable price and it lasts for around 10 days.

Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Fast Dry Nail Colour + Diamond Shine

I haven't had dark nails for ages and I usually use O.P.I but decided to try out Sally Hansen for a change. When I bought the "Diamond Shine Base and Top Coat", I got the nail polish free.

The polish colour is sexy! It's not black, it's actually midnight blue. It's called Night Flight-308.

The brush of the polish is flat and quite wide. They wern't kidding with the "Insta-Dry" label. The polish dries really fast which is why my nail polish doesn't look too smooth. Myabe the next round will be better.

I like the Diamond Shine Base and Top Coat. It does the job and you can use a single bottle as a multitasker. Also, I find that they harden and strengthen your nails!

I think I'll be buying more from this line to have a better idea of their products and to see if it's good.

Removing Glitter Nail Polish the Easy Way

I have, so far, avoided using glitter nail polish because it can be a real pain when it comes to taking it off but now I think I might try it out since I found this nifty way of removing glitter nail polish. Check it out..

O.P.I Matched Luggage

It's handy to have a few neutral shades to switch and use for an everyday, fresh, glossy nails.

This is another neutral colour from O.P.I that I have just recently picked up. Like every other O.P.I nail polish, this one is just as incredible as the others. The colour, as well as the quality.

I used just one coat of this polish on my nails as seen in this picture.

O.P.I Ti Tan Your Toga

Toning down the nail colour for this week with O.P.I's Ti Tan Your Toga (Cute name huh?)

I have just one coat on. It blends well with my skin tone since it's also a tan colour. The colour is really pretty.The texture is amazing just like any other O.P.I nail polish. Glided on easily without any mess whatsoever and it dried really quick. I suppose it's because I only did one coat.

Don't forget to use a base coat and top coat. (I used O.P.I's top coat in the picture above)

What colour nails are you rocking today?

Leopard Print Nails

This is one of my many versions of leopard print nail designs.Personally, I don't think it's hard to do and it doesn't take a long time to do either.

 I'll upload more when I've done other designs.

You don't necessarily have to follow the exact same method. You can try using different colours too.

Enjoy!

Bajaj Almond Drops

Yet another miracle in a bottle. This non-sticky oil with vitamin E works wonders on both skin and hair. I think this is manufactured in India.

Why spend so much money on hair treatments, hair products and skin moisturiser when you can get all this in a single bottle for only RM 10.80, 200 ml???

As a hair treatment, you can just leave it on for as long as you need before washing it off. It nourishes and moisturizes your hair. You will definitely see a difference in the texture of your hair once you dry and style your hair afterwards.

It can be used as a hair serum after washing hair be it for creating straight or curly hair styles. A few drops will suffice for this. It also tames frizziness.

This oil can also be used as a moisturiser for smooth,smooth skin.

It doesn't feel sticky whether on hair or on the skin.

Vitamin E is also good for your nails and cuticles.

The smell is amazing too.

Perfect for taking it with you when you travel as it quadruples as a hair and nail treatment, hair styling product and skin moisturizer.

I highly reccommend this product.Everyone should have a bottle of this.

Etude House Nail Polish

Another yet gorgeous nail polish from Etude House.

This one is a milky but with a light pink hue. 

I used 1 coat of this polish without any top coat on.

This polish also goes on smoothly and mess-free.When I used two coats on, my nails looked whiter. I suppose you could use this for covering up yellowed nails. 
What I noticed today is the design of the bottles too. They're actually quite finely detailed compared to other polishes out there.

Tips & Tricks

❤ mAkE uP ❤

❤ Sharing make up may be fun but it's also unhygienic. If you must share any make up then make sure you disinfect before using them (don't forget the brushes too) . Check out this video, by the famous Julia (MissChievous), for disinfecting make up.

❤ Click "Contouring, Blushing & Highlighting" to learn what goes where.

 ❤ Mascara ❤

❤ Bin your mascara after 3 months. Don't use it when it's dry or you will have clumpy lashes or risk getting an eye infection!

❤ Make Up Brushes ❤

❤ Try cleaning  them after each use and disinfect them once in a while.

  ❤ Lips ❤

❤ Want a subtle touch of colour on your lips? Use some lip balm on before getting a tiny bit of red or even whatever bright coloured lipstick you have onto the tip of your finger and swipe that one. Keeps your lips moisturised and looking pretty.

❤ It's not just your skin that can get burnt so make sure you use a lip balm with spf when you go out into the sun. If you don't have one then just dab your spf lotion on your lips.

❤ Always go for a red lipstick with a blue undertone to diminish yellow looking teeth.

❤ nAiLs ❤

❤ When buying nail polish remover, opt for one without acetone.

❤ You don't have to clip your nail down if it's split. Fix a split nail with a teabag instead! 

❤ hAiR ❤

❤ If your hair is looking or feeling greasy use a dry shampoo or dust loose powder and comb your hair through.

❤ oThEr ❤

❤ Use baking soda to whiten teeth instead of bleaching them because bleaching your teeth only makes it weaker.

❤ Body scrubs you usually buy may be very expensive or full of chemicals in them. If this is the case, then why not do you're very own homemade body scrub?

Etude House Nail Polish

This is from the Lucid Darling Collection

At first glance, the colour looks hot pink but when you apply it on your nails, it is actually fuschia. When you look closely at the bottle, you can see tiny bits of shimmery particles in the polish. When you apply it on your nails, it is not so visible. This is just to give that shimmery effect on your nails.

O.P.I Nail Polish

O.P.I stands for Ondotorium Products Inc. just in case you did not know. O.P.I is manufactured by the professional  nail product enterprise founded in 1981. 

Why O.P.I? Each and every single bottle produced is of the highest standard since there is a team of scientists to verify the product before sale. You don't have to worry about the consistency of your O.P.I polishes as it lasts for quite a while. There is a massive range of colours to choose from. They keep bringing out different collections with the most witty names for some polishes so it will be good to keep an eye on those. The only downside of it all is that it can be a bit pricey.

Red My Fortune Cookie

The brush from which the bottle came with was a prowide brush which was basically flat and quite wide making nail polish application neat and quite easy as i have a larger nail surface.I just wanted to test and see how long my nail polish lasted. The result: it lasted 4/5 days before the polish started chipping. That's a long time! i did use a base coat and top coat. Always a must!

You won't know until you try so go test one out yourself and put it to the test. I promise you won't regret it.

Luscious claws and paws guaranteed.
