Nicole by OPI Clearance Haul!

For those of you in Australia, I'm not sure if this is nation wide, but the Terry White Chemists in my area have placed their Nicole by OPI nail polishes on clearance!

This means they're down from AUD$14.95 to AUD$8.95 each for 15ml. My local Terry White Chemist had the Nicole by OPI nail polishes in a box marked for clearance. However, when I asked at a different Terry White Chemist whether they had any Nicole by OPI I was told they had taken them down for re-shelving. Then the very nice lady went out back to see if she could find them for me which she did! She then scanned them and told me they were marked down as clearance items. So of course I picked up a few *cough cough* colours :)

L to R: You're A Star, Make Mine Lime, Sky's The Limit, Fresh Squeezed, Have A Heart, First Crush Blush, Play Fair and Positive Energy

So I'm not sure whether they don't intend to continue selling Nicole by OPI or if they're just getting new stock in. So ladies any one know what's going on???

Nfu Oh Haul and First Swatches

Hi there~

As promised here is my Nfu Oh haul! For the article about the Nfu Oh Store, go follow this link.

It was a bit difficult to chose which polishes I wanted to buy because there were so many gorgeous polishes available. I know I absolutely wanted to buy some holos and flakies and there were also some awesome multichromes that I didn't know but looked gorgeous in the bottle.

87, 122, 95, 54, 65, 61, 63, 49, 83, 45, 51, Aqua Base

Close up of this amazing bottles.

87, 122, 95, 54

I don't own many green or blue polishes so this was a good occasion to get some of these colors.
(Yeah, I already used #95...)

65, 61, 63

 They don't seem to be that holo in the bottle but that's a totally different story on the nails.

49. 45, 83, 51

OK, I was so impatient to try them that I swatched them on fake nails...unfortunately I don't have any nail wheels so I did as I could....and these pictures don't do any justice to the polishes...but this is just a first rought to get an idea...I'll do proper swatches on my nails and you will be able to see the polishes better...

These are more complex shades IRL. They have some multichromes hidden in them...For example, #95 has some blue, green, gold and pink! So I will HAVE to show you better swatches of these ones!

Flakiiiiiiies

You can click on the picture to get a bigger image.

Holo, here I am!

And I also picked some hand lotions because they looked so cute and the smell is really sweet and enjoyable. Each bottle contains 30 mL. And the pack with the 12 bottles costs 32000 won (29$).

This is a pack of 12 little cute bottles.

Each hand lotion bottle is designed as the polish bottles. So cute >v<

And I got some nail files as a gift but forgot to take some pictures...XD

New Haul!

Hi there~

I've bought some nail polishes and wanted to share them with you. Also I want to apologize for the lack of posts this week, I've been really busy...

I bought some Essence polishes from the "Essence Twins Collection" and some Catrice from the new collection called "Out of Space".

From left to right

Edward (Essence), Bella (Essence), Louise (Essence), Blair (Essence), and Chuck (Essence).

Choose Me (Essence), it's very close to Zoya Charla.

Beam Me Scotty!(Catrice), a teal that is supposed to have a Suede finish! OMG, I want to try it!, and  Houston’s Favorite (Catrice), a gorgeous dark shimmery teal.

I'm so looking forward to swatch them! Be ready~

PS I've received some awards from these 2 lovely ladies, Polish Amor and Carly at Lacquerd Lover. I will write the corresponding post asap but I have to think carefully to who I'll give the awards back!lol Anyway, thank you so much to you, Polish Armor and Carly!

My New Haul!

I've just received my new treasures I've ordered from Nailetc. In this online store, you can find a lot of different nail lacquer brands like OPI, China Glaze, Essie, Zoya, Orly, Seche, Color Club, and so on.

Everything I received was well packed, and it took about 1 week  to get my order. I'm very happy with this web site!

So here are my pretties!

OPI Serena Williams Grand Slam (Simply Smash-ing! and Black Shatter)

OPI Glam Slam! France Spark De Triomphe Duo Pack (Spark De Triomphe and White Shatter)   

OPI Glam Slam! France Rally Pretty Pink Duo Pack (Rally Pretty Pink and Red Shatter)

OPI We'll Always Have Paris Suede

OPI I Juggle...Men (Femme de Cirque)

OPI So Many Clowns So Little Time (Femme de Cirque)

China Glaze Poetic (Romantique)

Since a few weeks I was so drawn to the Serena Wiliams Collections so I had to buy these 3 sets! I wanted Red and Black Shatters and I found Spark De Triomphe so pretty! The same goes for Rally Pretty Pink! I was not sure about Simply Smash-ing! because I'm not a yellow-fan but at least, I wanted to give it a try!

We'll Always Have Paris is my first Suede and I cannot wait to wear it as a full mani! I absolutely wanted to see what the "Suede" finish looks like!

I already have the 2 Femme de Cirque lacquers but in mini format and I love them so much, I had to have a regular-sized bottle of each.

Finally I also wanted to buy some China Glaze from the Romantique or Khrome Collections for stamping! Unfortunately due to shipping taxes, I could just pick one (but I'm already happy! ;D ).




I was so impatient to try my new polishes. So I did a quick mani with the 3 Serena polishes (and their Shatter) and We'll Always Have Paris Suede (and Silver Shatter).



Here is what it looks like!

Index: Spark De Triomphe

Middle finger: Simply Smash-ing!

Ring finger: Rally Pretty Pink

Pinkie: We'll Always Have Paris Suede

Index: Spark De Triomphe and White Shatter

Middle finger: Simply Smash-ing! and Black Shatter

Ring finger: Rally Pretty Pink and Red Shatter

Pinkie: We'll Always Have Paris Suede and Silver Shatter

These pictures don't do justice to these lacquers, they are much more sparkly than here but this was just to see how they work and how they were.

I'll do articles with detailed comments and a lot of swatches for every polish soon! So stay tuned! ;D

I'm currently wearing Rally Pretty Pink and Red Shatter at the moment! I so love it!

The Spa and Esthetics Show Vancouver 2010

Hey all! Hope everyone's doing well :) So I just wanted to show you a few pics of what I got at the Spa and Esthetics Show. I really wanted to show you guys what it looked like inside, but when I went through my pics, nothing seemed to do it justice because of the layout. I'll just tell you that it was massive and not at all what I expected. I was expecting something more intimate, like how I found the IMATS in Vancouver to be, but it was bustling man.

Anywho, on with the pics...

This is where it took place this year. It was downtown Vancouver at the Convention Centre. I thought it would be at the new convention centre we have, but apparantly that one's not opened just yet.

And when I moved my camera a few inches to the left, this is the view...

I kept sneaking out of the show to sit outside cuz it was a gorgeous day and there was a lot of estrogen in there. Needed air.

I picked up this little sucker for (as you can clearly see in tihe pic) $7. Which was a steal. I only got it for 3d acrylic nail art. It looked perfect. But I should probably do some searching to find out what brush is best for that.

And I wouldn't be me if I didn't get some nail art, so I grabbed this. It's a set of diefferent coloured metal pieces.

And this set is a mix of sparkles, confetti pieces, shells...

This one is a deco kit that features the jewel theme.

In class we've been pushing back cuticles with orangewood sticks cuz the metal ones can be kind of dangerous if you're not used to using them on other people (which we're not, since this is all new to us...I've used them on myself, but not on others). So she suggested this one cuz it's a lot less dangerous than the other ones...

Here's a side view...it's kind of scooped and I like the way it gets rid of all the excess skin that attaches from the cuticle to the actual nail...do you know what I mean (technical term: paronychium. I'm studying for an exam this Monday....can you tell? HA)

It's so good, and I find that with the flat, metal cuticle pushers, it's easy to push too far. But this one because of the shape doesn't really even let you go too far. LOVE. This was only $14 at this booth that had a million and one metal tools. My friend told me that it was $39 at the OPI booth.

Picked up some buffer blocks. I paid less than $2 for both of them.

And I got these disposable files for class at $0.25 a piece and that pack of orangewood sticks was $4.95 for 144 pieces.

That's all I got for nails. I was kind of overwhelmed by it all. They had people there selling gels and acrylics, as well as stuff for the body. I was there to see the esthetics part of it. I was there strictly for nails and since I'm still in the natural nails portion of my classes (I haven't hit the artificial part yet) I didn't know what to buy. The nail polishes weren't really priced any better than the nail supply shop I go to, so I skipped on those.

I did buy a ton of makeup at the show tho, cuz it was crazy cheap! I actually think that I probably got more there than at the IMATS. But I'll be showing that on my makeup blog soon if you guys are interested. I'll let you guys know when I post it if it interests you guys.

But I did check out the CND booth who were showcasing this new product called Shellac. It's like a gel polish but it came in a bottle that looked like a nail polish bottle. So you're supposed to get 14 days wear out of it and you cure it with a UV light like a gel, but it applies like a polish. And it soaks off in 10 minutes with these wraps that are soaked in acetone and get wrapped around each finger. So no "soaking" in a bowl.

This lady was getting them done and was kind enough to let me take some pics! Nice smile lines hey? They looked so shiney like only gels can get.

And then my classmate came to class with this sucker!

WHOA! I love it! Stilleto like crazy. Yah, they were offering nail sets and a full set of glitter gel toes at certain booths which was cool. I didn't want to get any done since I have to have natural nails for class. But this was nuts. She only got one nail and I was like, "Don't put that thing near your eye!!" Good luck wiping your butt with that thing. Is that weird? Well, not her specifically, but there were women at the show that had all 10 done like this. And edge nails, too. Look it up if you don't know what that is. They're crazy, too.

Okay guys, that's it for now. Keep your fingers crossed for me on Monday when I take my first exam in YEARS. I don't want to give away my age here, but it's been a long while. Excuse my language, but it's got me shaking like a shitting dog.

**sigh** I should go study...

Good night!
