I wish there were blue skies...

So my time in Hong Kong is winding down but lately its been raining cats and dogs! I just miss the lovely weather of Hawaii soo much during these times.. so I did a mani to reflect my weather wishes :)

i used polishes that I bought from Hong Kong...

First I put on 2 coats of this sky blue color...it was actually opaque enough with one coat but I wanted a nice thick coat to truly depict the blue sky that I wish we had here in Hong Kong...

Then I used a white color and used my dotting tool to dot some clouds on my ring finger and then started placing glitter in a diagonal line on my middle finger, thumb and pinky..I used glitter from Revlon-Rock, and the stinky silver glitter I bought in Hong Kong (check my prev. post to see which one I'm talking about)

then I went on to dot clouds on my pointer finger as well...

Then using Revlon- Rock I swiped on a layer of glitter on the outer side of the nails with the diagonal line of glitter ( i was careful to not let the big pieces of glitter onto the nail...i tried to place only the small silver and blue glitter)

Voila!!~~Pin It

Quick Haul Post...

So in Hong Kong the weather has been kinda nutso but here's a quick post of the polishes I bought so far...

This purple polish is a great layering polish sorry I didnt take pics of my swatches but I bought these at the Bonjour store at the Sha Tin train station :) This is Callar brand and it's made in france but there isnt any name or number to distinguish this color...

This Marcia polish immediatley called to me...it was so sparkly...i love love love this one... 2 layers for opacity...

this chic chic polish is another great one for layering...its sheer so it gives a nice blue-ish sparkle with the light pink color..

Then I saw a China Glaze polish that I've wanted in a while so I snatched it up...this is China Glaze - White Cap...

then I saw this glittery silver polish that was jam packed with different sizes of silver glitter pieces and I decided I wanted this as well...but then..

 i tried it and it smelt soooooooooooooooooooo bad!!! >.< major fail...but then I guess I'll just use this very sparingly cuz the smell is just AW-FUL~~~ >.<


So whats the grand total for these polishes? 92 bucks....wait thats Hong Kong dollars... the exchange rate is 1US dollar is about 8 Hong Kong dollars...so that means all these polishes for roughly 11 US dollars!!!! i'm in luvvvvv :) haha

I have another mani idea in my head that is inspired by the weather here lately I'll post it up soon :)Pin It

Orange Dream ^_^

Its been so rainy and gloomy here in Hong Kong lately so I decided to do a tropical summer vibe manicure...

I bought a couple new polishes for the other day when I helped my cousins do their nails... I didnt really take a lot of pics of the new "guest" manis but I do have a few pics that i'll put at the end of this post...

I started with 2 coats of a bright orange polish by Eleanor..they dont really have names but the item number i guess is ENP043...

this brand is formulated in France and it was a uber great buy... 2 polishes for 28 Hong Kong dollars... ( so 28 divided by about 8 will give you how much it costs in USD...so that means less then 4 bucks for 2!!!)

then I sliced some citrus slices to decorate...at first I was going to only use oranges but I felt that it would be too plain so I decided to use all the citrus fruits i got.. ;)

Then instead of placing a lot on each nail I decided to randomly placed one on my pointer, ring and pinky finger and make a bigger decoration on my middle finger...

Then on my thumb I was going to make it just like my middle finger but then it looked a little too over the top so I decided to alternate with some rhinestones...yay for sparkle-ness :)

Voila!~~ easy peasy  lemon squeezy~ haha :)

Now for some shots of what I did for my cousins this past week...

So this past weekend we had some watermarble-ing fun....I used the Eleanor polishes I bought from Sasa... (ill do a blog post about my hauls later) I only have pics of 2 manis I did and one of my other cousins didnt send me a picture yet... i'll update when she does...

This is the result of the watermarble mani for one of my cousins...

and then I used OPI- Planks A Lot with a random black color and Konad stamping for another one of my cousin's mani... its very Anna Sui i think :) hehe..... i did another watermarble mani too but like I said I'll post later :)Pin It

Guest Nails...

The other day I offered to help my cousins do a mani and I had a blast doing their nails for them..

I did both my cousins nails but i only took more detailed shots for the stamped mani...

For this mani I put on 3 coats of Essie- Shop till I drop....then on the tips I used OPI/Katy Perry- Teenage Dream..

For this mani I started with 2 coats of China Glaze- Something Sweet...

Then I stamped with BM21 the chain-mail like design...

I stamped using OPI/Pirates- Planks a lot and then topped it off with SV (see the lovely shineness? hehe) I had a great time doing their nails for them this week...can't wait to see my cousins on sunday and do new manis for them :)



P.S I finally got a charger for my laptop so thats why the watermarks mysteriously reappered ;) haha...I bought a couple new goodies on my trip so far and I'll post it up within the next two days..... I promise :) hope everyone is having a great summer~ xoxoPin It

Pirates in Imax...

So the other day my cousin took me out to watch Pirates of the Caribbean in Imax 3d...and naturally I had to use the OPI/pirates polish for a matching mani..

I seriously loove the OPI/Pirates collection...I really like these colors..

So I used Mermaid's Tears, Skulls and Glossbones and Silver Shatter...

I alternated the 2 colors between all ten fingers (this is pre-clean up sorry for the mess...)

Then I put a layer of silver shatter on top...

Voila~~

Then we went to have some snacks... look at this deliciousnesss...
