You get this ^_^
I was bored of my nail color *sweatdrops* and decided to change it again. Couldn’t wait to wear the rest of the Orly polishes I bought, but to be honest, the formula and the size of the polish brush left much to be desired. Orly’s colors are so-so except for this collection, but it applied thickly and basically was a nightmare to work with, especially with the neither-here-nor-there brush. I went through several colors (especially Lemonade!!!) before deciding on Gumdrop for my fingernails and Lollipop for my toes.
Other than that, the colors were really candy-like and Spring-ish colors always revolve around pastel shades – love! On with the entry
Here I blurred the picture so that the glitter can show up properly. I used CANMAKE Nail Glitter in 01, the silver shade that is Limited Edition. However, it is a really small bottle and like others, hard to get decent glitter chunks out to get the coverage I have in the pictures. So you might want to consider other wallet-friendly options because the CANMAKE Nail Glitter polishes cost a whopping S$17.90 – you can get a OPI nail polish at Far East Plaza for less that price.
Here is the CANMAKE bottle I’m talking about. I liked my nails having the ‘gel’ type of look, which looks thick when viewed from the side. So I didn’t mind spamming my nails with glitter, though I know the cleaning process will be helluva annoying. A thick layer of Seche Vite sealed the glitter and now they feel smooth to the touch.
Note that my bottle had about 75% left after I was done with this major spam, so >_<
Don’t you agree that Gumdrop is such a darling color? Hehehe.
There is absolutely no method in doing my nails, I just did them with a thin layer at first, then start spamming the upper tips till they look like what they do now. Please remember to seal your nails with a layer of top coat too, else they will feel superbly gritty.
I’m so happy that I will be wearing such nice nails for Christmas, they make me smile whenever I look down at them or when they catch the light. Are you wearing glitter for Christmas too? =)
Iariae 
Pretty nails you have there!! 😛
Thanks Lynn, doing anything nice for your nails in time for Christmas?
P.S. I’m so bummed out over the NAKED palette 😦
hihi, I havent thought of what colour to do for my nails, hehe…I’m not as adventurous as you to do glitters 😛 I think my most adventurous colour in my stash shd be MAC’s Mean & Green, haha…. Ok, I have 1 more day to think abt the colour & do my nails 🙂
urgh… Naked palette still no sight of??? That’s a long wait… but be patient, it’ll come to you soon!
Hahaha! Me? Adventurous? No wayy! I’m a huge chicken I tell you! Glitters just because they looked nice for a french I saw, and in time for Christmas. I hate hate hate frost / shimmery nail polishes hmpph.
Try a gorgeous warm red! You are fair, can set off the color perfectly! *winks*
I’m very bummed out now, I told you right? I actually got the email saying that I’m on the wait list to buy the NAKED palette, even went to the trouble of asking a friend to ask HIS FRIEND for his US address, but the website doesn’t accept INTERNATIONAL cards. Quite at a loss now becos thats exactly what happened with my NARS purchase as well 😦
Ok, shall not brood on these, are you done with your Christmas gift shopping Lynn? How about ’em vouchers? I read the fine print, 1 voucher per transaction. *faints*
I’m heading over to Sephora in about 2 hours, wanna come join in the gift madness? Hehehe ^^
haha, well, at least you attempted so I’m more chicken than you! Thanks, I shall go check out a warm red, I think I shd have it in my stash!
OMG!! It’s so near yet so far!!!!! I can feel your ‘heartache’! But I believe the stocks will come soon at Sephora, just be sure you dont miss it again when it come!
Yeah, christmas shopping done (mostly during HK trip); I dont really do much gift exchange though 🙂
My voucher expires in mid-Jan so I’m gonna wait till the Christmas craze is over to go town. I bet the crowd in town now is horrendous & I’m going to avoid it! Luckily no Jap class these 2 weeks and I can skip town. You ARE going town?? Brave gal… Happy shopping and sandwiching with the crowd, hope you get some good deals! 😛
Yeah, I’m still quite bummed out but I’m sure I will get over it pretty soon, don’t post swatches of it on your blog k, else i will really *sadface* 😦
Heh, I don’t either cos’ most of my friends aren’t in the habit of exchanging gifts, but still~~~ the boyfriend’s one though is the easiest to buy hehe 😛
I basically used up all my three Sephora vouchers today and actually accumulated enough to redemn the fourth one. -___- Seriously disgusted with myself, Sephora should implement the VIB thingy like they did in the US, confirm + chop qualify!
Where are you taking your Japanese class Lynn? My sister has been at it nearly a year now at the JCS@Bugis, and I’m thinking to sign up for it too once enrolment opens end Dec’10.
Surprisingly, the crowd today wasn’t as mad as compared to yesterday’s (Wed). Sephora looked… nearly empty 😛
ok, no worries, I wont post swatches of Naked palette! 🙂 I seldom do swatches cos I really no beauty blogger and I think other bloggers did a better job than me in swatches and reviews 😛
My Jap school is Ikoma at Shaw (House). I’m at Basic level only 😦 and it’s already getting very tough, sighz….
keke, nearly empty?? that was great for a pleasurable shopping! I hope the crowd will not be too bad when I go out later to NTUC for my Christmas Eve dinner shopping 😛
Eh, actually I’m the same ah, I just post pictures of my haul and then.. that’s it >_< No look of my face with them, maybe just a measly word review or two. Ahhh, must improve my skills so that my face can 'jian ren'.
Hang in there, it will be worth it once you go Japan hehe ^_^
Yes, but extremely tiring, I was alternating between Ion / Taka cos' the S&G products were mostly sold out at Ion! Then I had to exchange my gifts and get new ones *tiredface*
Are you cooking for Christmas Eve tonight? That's really nice, G insisted on going shopping at 313 later and spending time at Orchard again. Not really looking forward to the crowd and the hassle to get home. 😦
What are you talking about? You definitely can ‘jian ren’! You look so sweet! 🙂
Gosh, just your mentioning of it is enough to make me feel tired too! That’s Christmas shopping is all about 😛
Yep, cooking at home tonight. I’ll be having my sis-in-law & bro-in-law. Used to hang around in Orchard on Christmas eves with friends before marriage then we moved on to having homecooked dinner or potlucks at one of our places and this year, our friends are away so it’s just me & hubby at home 🙂 No more Orchard-on-Christmas-eves for us. Gosh, did I just reveal I’m getting old?!?!? hahaha!
Go on to enjoy & celebrate in Orchard! It’s going to be real packed but that’s where the mood is at its greatest!
Btw, Jolyn, are you interested in getting Sleek palettes? I’m joining the purchase with Renie from CC and we will be sharing the shipping cost, no handling cost. She will be ordering after Christmas. Let me know if u are keen, yah? 🙂
My cheeks are so.. fat 😦 My side-view looks… fat. 😦
I’m not going to be last-min about it anymore about Christmas shopping, speaking of which Lynn, gimme your address k? I remembered I specifically got a little something for you hehehe >__<
Don’t worry, my sisters were dissing me all about it last night when I lamenting that I wanted a cozy dinner at home and then slacking around on Christmas Eve and not squeeze with others. They were like ‘dajie you used to chiong like nobody’s business but now you are getting old liao’. *SWEATDROPS* I’m only 22! But still, I much prefer my Christmas Eve spent in a nice, calm, cozy, warm environment. 😦
Thanks Lynn, I much enjoy our conversations here and on your blog, *big hugs*
And yes, I WANT ‘EM SLEEK PALETTES! But Storm / Bad Girl is OOS 😦 I dont mind to share hehehe, in fact thank you for asking me! Lynn, have you seen the blush swatches? I want Rose Gold (the name so pretty) and Pomegranate >_<
oh my! You got me something??!! That’s very nice of you!! Many thanks! Really appreciate it! Erm, I’ll need to send my address to you separately in an email? 😛
I’m glad to have known you through blogging too! I enjoy our conversations too! And I’m like, 10 yrs older than you! *shy*
Renie had asked Sleek and they said they are gg to restock for Bad gal & Storm after Christmas. I’m getting these 2 too and maybe Original & Sparkle! I’m hoping the total cost per palette will end up to be less than SGD20, depending on how many more ‘orders’ she received for shipping sharing too. I was so obsessed with the eye shadow palettes that I took no notice of the blushes! I shall go check it out now! So, may I get your confirmed order list? hehe….
Hehe, I was rummaging through my stuff cos’ I was looking through to arrange my presents, and I saw the little package. Nothing very ‘big deal’ about it, I just wanted to thank you for being my first blog friend heh~ I’ll email you at your email along with my Sleek order 😀
Waaaa, age doesn’t matter. *big hugs* What matters is, PASSION *eyes burn red dramatically*
Oh my god! Go check out the blushes! Awww Lynn, both of us must go on MAKEUPBAN ok? Except for the Paul & Joe Spring ’11 and the MAC collection >_< CANNOT BUY LIAO!
Hopefully the cap won't be busted and I can join~ If not I'll just order on my own hehe, it's alright cos' GST is expensive X_X Haru posted really good eye looks with her palettes! I was also obsessed with them but OOS when I constantly checked back 😦
1 email on the way~
hehe, that’s still very nice of you for giving a gift though we have not met & just know each other thr blogs!
I saw the blushes swatches!!! Damn pretty! And at a really affordable drugstore brand price too! *Faintz* I’m hooked and I think I’m going to get the blushes! Rose Gold looks really like NARS Orgasm! I love Flamingo too! 😛 Gosh, I hear my piggy bank breaking!! haha! Ya, we shd on on a ban together, there are more lovely collections coming up!
Exactly, Haru always got me hooked with her lovely beauty buys. Maybe 1 way to save $ is to stop visiting her blog, hehe! Nah, I dont think our Sleek palettes will hit the GST cap. I’ll email her your order and let us WAIT for the lovelies to arrive!
