Dressing Up Your Nails

I used to keep my nails short because I play the piano. Plus, goody-two-shoes me always followed the rules (school rules) and my feminine hormones haven't kicked in to get me interested to keep them long. Plus the fact, I thought my nails didn't grew straight enough to be painted on and skin around my nails used to peel.

Thank God, those two worries seemed irrelevant now and belatedly, I wanted to try to dress up my nails especially with all those nail art, bling-bling, konad stencils, etc. Tried manicure twice but was worried about scratching the nail polish (which usually happens in hardly an hour) and so, I only choose neutral pinkish natural colours. Maybe I should be more daring and just try them out since promotion sites like groupons happen to have cheap promo on manicures.

Anyhow, here is my collection of nail polish to jump start my new interest:

1. Rimmel nail polish from the Cut Above launch.
At first I thought when will I daringly colour my nails so dark.. but with the quirky cute patterns to draw, that'll be different.

2. Little Romantics set from OPI.
I always thought french manicure was simple and neat. Hence, when I saw this little set from OPI, I decided to give it a try. I managed to get from a seller in lowyat at 30% cheaper than Sasa... yipee! :)

3. Face Shop Nail Polish
At RM5.90 each, I thought it's no harm to give it a try. Got a simple pink coloured one (I know, still playing safe) and an upper coat with glitter. Lol

Told mum I wanted some nail polish and these are what she got from me from Aussie.


4. Revlon Nouveau Nail Polish.

5. Rubi shoes Nail Polish
Says that it's 1 AUD! Sounds like a steal to me.

*Note: Will add in the details of each nail polish later and share my DIY manicure next time! ;)

Girls being girls..

Girls being girls.. love looking pretty and of course, pretty little things. Don't you?

I guess I'm going into another cycle again and am getting interested again with makeup. As I read some reviews online on beauty products and look at FOTD (face of the day) by other bloggers. It makes me wonder; can I play dress up and practice my makeup too. Perhaps, that'll give me confidence too?

Lol... the last time I went full blast into makeup, my skin had an outbreaks of comodones which was horrible.. took me 2 years ? or less to clear those blemish and bumps on my face. Perhaps it was bad cleansing or most likely the stress from studies, but I have a little phobia with putting foundation on my face nowadays.

Well... meanwhile I've placed some "orders" with my parents in Australia to get me some Face of Australia products that I've been reading online by beauty bloggers in Australia.

Should I or shouldn't I start experimenting again?

I personally think, ladies should practise and improve their added advantage from men. Ladies should dress selectively to enhance certain feature when necessary and look pretty and pleasant all the time. People will like to deal with a sweet pretty smiling lady, right?

Like watching this smiling Korean actress in the new drama series now, Glory Jane

After all, men is said to have the brawn and strength. Women have their beauty. We should use all the gifts from God in our physical form too. But not too extreme- mind you.. ;)

Hence, this is a checklist of makeup I wish to try and master it:
1. Eyeliner ..... (liquid!! Lol)
2. Day eye makeup which is not blue. Maybe try the neutral warm tones without looking like a black eye.
3. False eyelashes
4. Manicure - technically not make-up but I think with the beautiful nail art around, I should at least give a basic polish to my nails, right?

Wish me luck! ;)
