Review: Etude House Sweet Recipe Ice Cream Nails in 04

Hello! Today I will be reviewing  the Ice Cream Nails in 04 (Strawberry Star Candy) from Etude House's Sweet Recipe line.

NOTD: Mint Tea for Two

 Here's a super quick post on what I did to my nails over the bright sunny weekend ^^ I really have an obsession with mint nails. It's like what...my 3rd nail post with the same colour?

I totally love pastels for spring and because of the somewhat recent British-you know who I'm referring to- invasion, I tried the British flag on my nails. Boy was it difficult, even with tape. >< It took a whole day including drying time and such. The heart that you see on my thumb happened by accident. I was being my clumsy self and poured the white nail polish onto my pants. It just so happened to create the perfect curve~ The heart was used to add some cutesy to it. ^^;; 

Since it's British inspired, I added "tea" to the title...hopefully that somewhat captures the English culture. heh~ Just in case you didn't know who I was referring to. Please don't hate me for this xD These boys can sing unlike some of the kpop boy groups out there.

Products Used:

• Joe Fresh Nail Polish in Mint (3 coats)
• Migi Nail Art pens in pink & white
• Essie To Dry For Topcoat (1 coat)

NOTD: Herro Kitty Swirls

 Hi everyone! This is a demo post using the Hello Kitty plate that I got from Born Pretty :) It was actually my first time doing nail stamping/Konad so I was very proud of what I have accomplished!

 You can really see the blue shimmers in the fuschia. I wish that it is more obvious and eye catching in real life.

 You can see that I messed up on the third toe XD

 I find that my nails are too small so I can only use the Hello Kitty stamp on my thumb and big toe.

Products used:

• Joe Fresh Nail Polish in Mint (2 coats)
• Born Pretty Hello Kitty Nail Art Plate
• Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Back to the Fuchsia (2 coats)
• Swirl Nail Art Plate from Hong Kong
• Essie To Dry For Top Coat (1 coat)
• Migi Nail Art in Gold and Indigo from the Gold Collection

NOTD: Pass the Sprinkles + Giveaways

 I tried out the "sandwich" manicure. All I did was layer different sheer, glittery and sparkly nail polishes on top of each other and this is how it turned out.

 Glitter nail polishes are really hard to remove so I suggest using a base coat. I usually use a clear top coat as the base. The down side to this type of manicure is that it peels easily due to the multiple coats.

Me2Day: Happy Easter, Lovely Bunnies!

This will be a new type of post: random and daily ramblings, current obsessions, daily "do"s etc. I wanted to conserve the traditional essence of blogging ;) And by the title, this is inspired by the Korean (I'm guessing blogging site) called me2day.

Listening to: (nothing at the moment =P I'm concentrating on catching up with blogging!)

Mood: Neutral, nothing special really.

First of all, I wish everyone a Happy Easter! Hope you are enjoying the egg hunts, chocolate, (Cinna)bunnies, family and friends ^^

Here is my NOTD (somewhat Easter inspired and because I couldn't choose between the two colours :S)

As a huge Big Bang and 2NE1 fan, I am (hopefully) up to date with them xD Park Bom recently released her new single "Don't Cry" and I must admit, I LOVE IT! She is very talented and her voice is totally unique. No one can recreate it in my opinion. She is my favourite for a reason ^.^

Yesterday, I met a total jerk. He was such a...GRRR. Just makes me mad. Like talk about rude! Sure, I might not be the best player around but that doesn't mean you have to shake your head in front of my face and pretty much imply, "No, I don't want to play a game of badminton with you cuz it's obvious that you suck." EFFFFFFF YOU, MAN! Ever heard of manners? That is definitely not how you treat a female...You're gonna get it.


*cools down*
