Manicure: Colorblocking

Hey guys, how are you doing? I've been so caught up with work lately that I can't find the mood to blog anything. On my rest days, I just want to cuddle on my bed or spend some time with my family and my dear puggy. 

So, I've bought a Groupon voucher for a mani pedi session somewhere early of the year, wanted to do it for CNY but the appointment sessions were full. Drag and drag and drag, I've finally found the time to go and do it yesterday (more like because the voucher's expiring, LOL). Yea, sometimes I can be a hardcore procrastinator ;)

Tadaa! A selfie after what seems like forever. Felt as though my hair grow pretty quick.

I've been following this instagram account, @nailsbyarelisp because she has some awesome nail arts and sometimes she shares videos of how-to(s) so that you too can experiment it, double awesomeness! So, I've found this and I'm loving it. Simple yet bold enough to create the statement look. I usually find my nail arts online as I don't quite fancy those provided by nail salons, too much colors and floral thingy.

And it turned out pretty awesome, I'm a happy girl! For my toes, I went for something plain and simple yet elegant. I told him that I wanted a translucent kinda white but not too light, so he first paints on white and then layered a translucent white so it looks like a shining pearl surface. I just love the overall finished look! ❤

I hope you like this look as much as I do and I'll be back with a product review and blog posts on the continuation of my France trip in Toulouse!

*hint: the product review has something to do with beautiful skin, you don't want to miss out! (: *

Till then, stay awesome!

Much loves, xoxo.

Manicure: Cheap yet Fast?

Having a function at night after work and there's no time to get a manicure?

Check this out, nail art stickers that can be put on in 5 minutes and you're ready to go!

Found this while wandering around GM Klang with my babe. Some of the designs caught my attention 

and in my mind was.. "If it's easy to apply on, why not? Maybe can use for CNY, one day one design to suit my OOTDs". And it only cost RM5 anyhow. 

So, I bought one home after half an hour ransacking through the gazillion pieces to find one which I fancy.

Finally decided on this because

1. It's versatile

2. You can never go wrong with black and white

3. I can hypnotize people with the pattern :p

The back of the packaging with instructions (:

As you can see, there's 12 pieces altogether, 6 for each hand.

Step 1: I first cut out one piece so it'll be easier for me to apply on.

(Can skip this step as it turned out to be unnecessary)

Step 2: Remove the upper transparent layer.

Step 3: Remove the nail art sticker. (It feels like normal sticker)

Step 4: Stick the nail art sticker onto your nail.

(It'll definitely be bigger than your nail unless you have very big fingernails)

Step 5: Instead of filing the sides, I used a scissors to slowly trim.

And my end product?

I've painted my fore and ring fingers black instead of sticking the sticker on all nails.

Super happy with the overall design ❤

*TIP: Do not do this before your shower as the sides might "pop up" and it'll ruin the whole thing.

They're just stickers after all.

Tony Moly

So, recently my Korean classmate / friend went back to her hometown during our semester break. And my first thought, "TONY MOLY!" 

It's one of the famous makeup brands in Korea, widely used by the Koreans as it is of good quality yet affordable. I've been hearing about this makeup brand for a little while now from some of my friends and I've always wanted to try their gel liner even though I have never used one before (I'm currently a loyal eyeshadow user!) I've seen the product on my friend, and the color was nice, not too dark like the typical gel or liquid eyeliner from other brands. For me, I've always prefer something more natural looking unless I have to strut the runway or something. 

So.. After a whole week of waiting...

Me Tony Moly "Backstage Gel Eyeliner" is here! :p

I've chosen no.12, Pearl Black.

The brush is in the tip of the bottle, so there's no need for a purchase of your own brush and it is easily stored!

Pearl Black has some glitter in it, bling bling time! :D

What was my verdict on this product? Highly satisfied! The texture was smooth yet easy to manage, which is awesome for newbie noobs like me who have no whatsoever experience in using gel liner. The color was a shade of dark grey with a little glittery touch, perfect for both chic casual and glam look. Best part of all, it's water, sweat and sebum proof! Good for girls like me who applies eye cream before makeup, it prevents the "tint" that you have on your upper lid after some time and there's no need for touch ups! (Perfect for lazy girls like me! Teehee!)

I rate this: 10 out of 10 

(For it's price which is only RM23!, the easily manage texture, the brush that comes with it and the whole experience of using it, no wonder it's one of the BESTSELLERS!)

The end look of it after a whole evening, no smudges, no panda look! 

---------❤ ------------❤ -----------❤ ------------❤ -----------❤ -------------

Girls wouldn't be girls if they just buy what is needed right? I'm pretty sure that most girls would buy the extra something something that might come to use in the future when there is discounts! I know I would, most of the time! :D So, other than that gel eyeliner I bought, I've gotten something else with it. 

Tony Moly's Perfect Eyes Eyeliner!

I've chosen the color, Pearl Khaki.

The box packaging was really adorably sexy like the pencil itself, decorated  with a shiny surfaced of zebra stripes that adds on to its glam! Too bad I had thrown it away :( 

My verdict? The product was easy to be applied on. Just like the gel eyeliner, it was stated to be water, sweat and sebum proof BUT it smudges easily after a while :( On my first trial, I ended up looking like a panda after a few hours as it smudges all over the bottom of my eyes. 

I rate this : 5 out of 10

(The price was OK, the color was perfect and it's texture is smooth and easy to be applied on but it smudges and no girls would want to rock the panda look!) 

I shall end this post with my manicure and pedicure of the week! Rocking the cobalt blue with the lovely ombre shades of blue to celebrate the month of June! ❤ 

Have a great weekend! Much loves, xoxo.
