ChG Fancy Pants :D

Good afternoon!

Another new polish, this time ChG Fancy Pants from the spring 2013 Avant Garden collection. I absolutely love it!! It's a purplish blue with magenta shimmer but I couldn't really capture it with my camera unfortunately :/ It applied super smoothly in 2 thin coat which for me is pretty much a miracle :D

And here it is again stamped with Konad plate M64 in Nubar Lavender ♥

Went shopping with my mom for my birthday and picked up a couple of FingerPaints neons yesterday.. Can't wait to try them out along with my CC Starry Temptress collex that arrived last Monday!

Enjoy and have a great evening! :D

ChG Flirty Tankini :D

Good afternoon!

Taking a short break from reading on Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders to show you another new addition to my growing-again collection.. I was actually really disappointed when I unpacked Flirty Tankini last week. It looked so pink and bright in pics but here it was looking like a muddy coral, and god knows corals don't play well with my skin except neon ones :( I swatched it quickly yesterday and still didn't really feel it, I think I just don't like the finish that much... So I decided to try it on for real to prove me wrong. As I was still underwhelmed, I added a black houndstooth pattern and already it was much better. Then today the sun finally decided to come out and WOW! It finally looks like what I was expecting!! A bright pinky coral! So happy now :D

So here it is, smooth application in 3 thin coats topped with Konad plate M63 in Konad Black polish :D

Isn't it pretty? It has a slight shimmer that's not really that visible so it's almost a creme which I like :D Enjoy and have a great day!

ChG Keep Calm, Paint On :D

Good afternoon!

Just started March break today... and my school todo list is already a mile long!! It's much more of a "break" than a break ;-)

Here's one of my newest arrivals, ChG Keep Calm, Paint On. It's a really nice slightly shimmery light green, and it applied smoothly in 3 thin coats as usual. Pictures were taken in the shade unfortunately as I haven't seen sun in over a week now :/

Added a pattern from Konad plate M78 in Konad White polish.. Pattern is nice but I'm not really digging the combo that much...

Enjoy and have a great weekend! :)

CC Blue-Ming + PS Twinkling Lights :D

Good morning!

I have some time this morning before catching my bus to get to the hospital so quick post! This is 3 thin coats of CC Blue-Ming at day #5 of wear topped with 1 thin coat of PS Twinkling Lights. Everyone knows I'm more of a creme girl, but this combo is totally awesome! Couldn't stop looking at my nails! ;-) Very good application as well.

Latest 4 NOTDs.. 1 failure and 3 huge hits! :D

Good evening!

Well, we could say I've tumbled back down the rabbit hole that is the polish world... I'm waiting on a few (many) pretties in the mail including ChG pastels and neons I missed out on in the last 2-3 years! I'm also getting some new Gals stamping plates and pondering another order to get the CC Starry Temptress collex (hey, they're neons!!) ;-) I'm especially happy that my nails are starting to look a little nicer as I don't pick at them as much when they're painted!

Now moving on to some NOTDs from this past week...

First up, OPI You're Such A Budapest topped with Colorama Sonic Sunset. I totally loved the overall effect!! It made the purple just a little bit more muted with flakies :D

Next, A.co Lollipop Queen topped with A.co Disco Queen crackle. I picked up these polishes at Ardène last week and unfortunately I'm not liking the tone of the pink OR the crackle finish so goodbye! ;-)

CC Blue-Ming ♥♥♥!! Picked this up at a local nail salon and it's just amazing! Neon-pastel all in one! Application was a little tricky but 3 thin coats did the job.

CC Blue-Ming + Konad plate M64 in Art Club Azul :D No sunny pic as it's been snowing and/or raining for the past 2 days...

(Maybe) making a comeback ;-)

(No one must be reading anymore hah!)

Good evening!

After almost 3 years away from my blog and the polish world, I started painting my nails again about 2 weeks ago! Being super busy with school (loving neurology right now!), I don't have time anymore to switch manis every days or two, but I decided I felt like posting pretty pics again... It might only be a post every week or two, we'll see how it goes :)

So for this comeback, here are my last 3 NOTDs... Please excuse the sad state of my nails, free edges annoy me especially without polish!

Nails Inc Satin with Konad plate M73 in ChG Re-fresh Mint - one of my favourite greens :D

Pretty Serious Galaxy Invader - this is one of the most amazing blue-purple duochrome I've ever worn!! It's made by a friend of mine back in Australia and so totally worth it! 3 thin coats was perfect :D

OPI You're Such a Budapest - great pastel bluish purple almost-creme :)

Looking at my flickr stream just makes me smile so I figure I should start adding more pics now ;) Good night!
