China Glaze Haul from Lets-Nail-It!

Hey all! If you can recall, I took part in a spree with lets-nail-it.blogspot.com a few weeks ago. Yea I ordered all the China Glaze products. The colours from China Glaze are just so awesome! I also ordered a Silver Shatter from OPI, but because that's one of the new ones, I'll only get it later.

From left to right, I have Millenium, Bogie, Seaspray, Jolly Holly, and Peace on Earth.

I have already tried Seaspray and Millenium. The colours are so pigmented and they also dry faster than the average nail polish. Totally impressed! Can't imagine why OPI is getting all the glory.

Next post, what did I do to my nails with Seaspray and Millenium? Stay tuned! (I sound so cocky heehee)

OPI Nail Polish! (And new matte nail polish)

A few days ago I decided to to a zebra print konad print with white and black. As you can see, I failed terribly. Might buy the actual Konad top coat soon. For some reason, large prints smudge alot easier.

Anyways, my school constantly has bazaars around the canteens, the foyers, any public area. And just so happens I found this stall selling O.P.I. nail polish at only $14 each! It's $39 for 3 bottles. I bought Fiercely Fiona (yellow), Gargantuan Green Grape (green), and Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous (dark silver). I also got this matte polish from a random brand. They had the colour palette there with awesome matt shimmery pastel colours and I fell in love with this one.

Things I used for this manicure are:

Asianail 043

The Face Shop Nail Nutrition Coat

The Face Shop Nail Base Coat

The end result. There was no top coat cos I wanted to leave it matte. It feels so nice to the touch! Also, this is the result of two coats and for some reason it goes on really smoothly. This is one of the easier nail polishes to apply.

The downside? Maybe it's because I use my hands alot, or because I scratch my head or type alot, but the tips of the nails are starting to wear off already. It's also pretty expensive. It was $12 per bottle. But the colours are a definitely win. I have been looking for some lime green colour for ages. It's surprisingly hard to find a clean green for nail polish.

I can't wait to try out the O.P.I. nail polish! I especially can't wait to try out the yellow with black stripes across to make it look like a bumble bee (buzzzz buzzz). After hearing such good things about O.P.I., I will have high hopes for them!

Haul from Ebay!

So! I went on a shopping spree on eBay last month and the stuff arrived the past week. It's so exciting getting packages in the mail. I love opening packages. Anyway! Here are details about the products, like how much I got it for, and where I got it, etc. Because I know it's so hard to find cool stuff for nails in Singapore at cheap prices.

Konad Nail Art Image Plate M61:

I bid for this on eBay because it's slightly cheaper. In Singapore you can get it from stores for $7.90, but on eBay through careful bidding I only needed to pay US$5.14 for this (which is $6+ SGD). Shipping is free, and it is from the Konad brand, so if you don't mind waiting I think it's good to just bid and buy it on eBay. Check out the seller here.

120 pcs Fruit Fimo Slick Nail Art Rods Stick w/ Glue:

I bid for this one and through pure luck, it at just US$1.50 heehee. You can go ahead to search for them and look for cheap ones. The seller sells quite a lot of cosmetics (like acrylic nails, falsies), you can check her out here.

1800 Nail Art Rhinestones Glitters Round Wheel:

Rhinestones are bought at US$1.80 with free shipping, there are 1800 pieces in that whole wheel. Colours are so pretty! Because it's so cheap, some of the pieces might be oddly shaped or not the same size. But that's ok, once you put it on the nail you hardly notice the difference! If you're interested you can get it for US$2.80 here but once again, I suggest you search for it on eBay and buy the cheapest one there.

48 pcs Two-way Nail Art Brush & Pen:

The pen is a nib where you can just squeeze out nail polish to either dot or draw on your nails. The brush is a really thin brush for you to do french tips or just to draw designs of your own.

This whole set (all 48 pieces!) cost me US$28 ($14 for the product, $14 for shipping). I bought it from the seller butterflybeauty168 so you can check out her shop, or even just search for this on eBay. I'm sure you can find it cheaper than what I got.

In case you're lazy to search, you can check it out here.

So here it is. What I bought, where I bought it and for how much. I'm such an eBay junkie and as long as people keep putting cheap stuff up, I will always go to eBay for good deals.
