Mermaid Tale Nail Art + Nail Polish Jewelries

I'm on a roll! LOL.. Anyway I took up creating nail polish jewelries again recently and I have one of my creation to show today!

Mermaid Tale Nail Art + Nail Polish Jewelries

Isn't it gorgeous? I named this Mermaid Tale because the colour layering reminds me of a Mermaid.

And another 1.. Just to show off it's beauty.

I actually created this on the ring first and thought it would totally make a cool mani so I duplicated it on my nails again for these photos.

I loved this effect but it did took many layers to create this and it feels kinda thick on my nails. I mean there's a total of about 7-8 coats here and some of them are thick glitters!

Do you guys mind thick manicures? Does it actually last longer when it's thick anyway? Haha..

Here's another 1 of just the mani!

I'm gonna go and crack my head to think of new designs now. See ya all next time!

OPI Soft Shades 2016! Full of Pastels!

I'm excited to show this collection today and it's the OPI Soft Shades 2016 collection!

OPI Soft Shades 2016 is a 6 colour collection full of pastel colours! Yeah! My favourite favourite favourite colours and they are all so beautiful!

OPI Soft Shades 2016

Seriously I can't get enough of them. Even though I probably already have dozens of similar shades in my stash, I still can't resist grabbing them all. I will never get bored of pastels!

And because I love all of them, I can't decide which colour to use first so I used all of them together. LOL

OPI Soft Shades 2016 French Tips

Overall I think the colours are beautiful, but the application needs a little work. They are a little sheer and streaky at first, but will even out with more coats. I used 3 coats for all of these.

A bad idea to use 1 of the pastels as the colour for the tips though, as it needed a lot of coats to cover the base colour. In the end it looked kind of thick and gets smudged easily.

I accidentally bumped my index finger while looking through my polish stash and you can see the imperfection there.. Haha.

If you don't already have these, I recommend you to get them now! You need them in your life, just as I do! LOL

OPI Hello Kitty Limited Edition Cherry Blossom Collection

Hey ladies! Today I have swatches of the new OPI Hello Kitty Cherry Blossom Collection!

This is a limited edition collection consisting of 4 girly & basic shades. I haven't seen much swatches of these around so I thought I'll do 1 on my blog!

OPI Showered By Petals


OPI Showered By Petals

OPI Showered By Petals is a pretty basic off-white creme polish. The polish looks very close to pure white but when you compare the polish side with side with a pure white polish, you can see that OPI Showered By Petals is very slightly greyed. Just a very very light hint of grey.

OPI Showered By Petals

OPI Showered By Petals have a creamy application and is not as opaque as pure white polishes.

OPI Dreams Of Spring


OPI Dreams Of Spring

OPI Dreams Of Spring is a pale light pink creme polish.

The application for this polish is a little streaky and took 3 coats for me to even it out.

OPI Sitting Under Cherry Blossoms


Sitting Under Cherry Blossoms

OPI Sitting Under Cherry Blossoms is a jelly pink polish with pearly shimmers.

A sweet girly shade that really does reminds me of Cherry Blossoms.

OPI Cheery Blooms


OPI Cheery Blooms

OPI Cheery Blooms is a bright tomato red creme polish.

The application for this polish is awesome. Very smooth and opaque. You can easily get away with 1 coat with this polish but I like to apply at least 2 coats for the creamy & fuller look.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even though this is a limited edition collection, I do feel that the colors are all very basic and common shades.

However they are still kind of necessary colors for base or nail art etc so yea, I would get them anyway for the Hello Kitty wrapper. :)
