NOTD: UO Nail polish craze

I was playing with sparkly nail polishes at Urban Outfitters over the weekend, so I tried out: Scorcher (thumb), Unicorn (index), Spicy (middle finger) and then I have Essie's Ballet slippers as base for all my fingers except for my ring finger which only has Essie's As gold as it gets. :) it was a fun time swatching and I might actually go back to pick up something for a girlfriend :)

My 2 cents: I was surprised that the sparkles did not come off after washing dishes and after washing my hair. Spicy particularly surprised me as the pieces are quite chunky, but despite my lack of a top coat, it stayed on without falling out for a few days. Overall, I'm quite impressed by the quality of UO nail polish (I expected it to last only one day.) The one thing that got me with the UO nail polish is the aweful smell. It's still there after 2 days! Another thing I learned, is not to wear as gold as it gets alone... because it makes your nails look so yellow and so unpretty!

NOTD: with nail stamps!

My fiancé helped me applied these seahorses on my ring fingers. Did he do a good job? You can see the purple nail stamp tool in the background.

NOTD: Brown + Gold

Quick post of my nail colour combo~ I'm really loving brown and gold as of lates and it is shown on my nails :) Here I'm wearing Essie's Good as Gold and Nars' Bad Influence... what do you think about this combo? What are you wearing on your nails for fall?

NOTD: Ms. Perfectly Pink

I'm holding an invisible bottle ^_^
I have been feeling extremely girly lately, hence the pink on pink. :) The two colours used are Ms. Perfectly Pink and Pink-a-boo finished off with a little nail art sticker that I purchased from Dollarama some time ago (I finally got around to using.) What do you think? Does the one nail stand out too much? My little cousin did the opposite where the majority of her nails are a deep green and the single finger was a matte mint with black nail art on it :) Are pictures needed? Let me know what you think~

NOTD: RGB Oxblood

I'm scared of using red nail polish because I was scared that it doesn't really complement my skintone... However, I was quite surprised that this deep red worked so well on me~
Here on my ring finger is Oxblood by RGB. With the flash the red comes off as a pretty cheery red, but it is in fact a red that is almost black in natural light. TBH, when I got this bottle in my November Glymm box I was a bit disappointed... why red?!?! But now I'm glad that I got this colour, otherwise I wouldn't have tried it and wouldn't have realized that I liked it so much. Thank you Glymm, for making me become more adventurous! :)

How about you? are there any colours that you are scared to wear?

NOTD: China Glaze Crushed Candy





I got the China Glaze Crackle in Crushed Candy in my October Luxe box and HAD to try it out asap... so here I matched it with my Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Black Out... What do you think?? I am really loving this turquoise colour!! And I think that products like Crackle is made for people like me who has trouble applying nail polish on properly... because I messed up 4 fingers and I didn't have to redo any of them because the crackle nail polish covered it XD Win for messy nails!~

NOTD: Black and Yellow

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Mellow Yellow 

I opted to try this yellow with a black crackle tip. It is summer time and I don't want to be so dark. What do you think about this style?




The SH Xtreme Wear is on sale at Shopper's for $2.50 so I decided to pick it up, try and stock up if I like them... It's not too bad, so I think I might go back to pick up some more colours :| the Mint Sorbet looked cute! I think the sale ends tomorrow...

NOTD: Copper

I decided to paint my nails yesterday, it was literally nice and pretty for 5 minutes before I ruined every nail... thank goodness I took pictures beforehand!

Here's is Lancome's nail vernis in 'Cocobolo.' It's a warm bronze/chocolate colour that seems to match almost everything... <3 it!!
