Spring Watercolor Nails

I haven't yet apologized for my sporadic posting in the last few months. I'm so sorry guys, I was swamped with my studies & personal problems, there wasn't this urge to blog. Anyway, I'm done with school & am currently on holiday so expect more posts!

Spring is officially here! My favorite season of the year, with gorgeous pastel colors & amazing fashion lines, plus flowers & green everywhere, I am nearly bouncing off the walls in excitement. If only I didn't live in a tropical country. I would trade the sweltering heat for anything. Anyone? So, my nail art drew inspiration from some fashion lines this season, soft with a touch of color. 

I achieved this look using The Face Shop's Check It set, which contains a trio of soft pastel tones in blue, yellow & pink.

After lightly brushing on the strokes on the tip of my nail, I softened the whole look using a brush dipped in acetone to create the watercolor effect. 

Born Pretty Store: Glequins

So recently Born Pretty Store sent me some glequins for review! It's actually my first time receiving them so I really didn't know what to expect :O Glequins are basically loose sequin like glitters that are used for nail art. I may post a tutorial for those who are interested, just leave a comment below & I'll get right to it!

This was my first attempt so it's a little messy :( It's incredibly fun to do though, and so shiny <3 I decided to do glequin nail gaps & an accent nail because hey glequins.

The base color is from Essence's Grumpy from the Snow White collection, it's a gorgeous royal blue jelly that applies smoothly. >_< It's currently my favorite blue!

Anyway Born Pretty Store was sweet enough to include a discount coupon, which can be found in my sidebar or below for 10% off. They have free international shipping & their items are incredibly cheap :D I spend my hours in school perusing their selection of items & wishing I could have more.

Products were provided for review. Please see disclosure policy for more information. 

Haul: From Korea!

I haven't done a haul post in ages! My mum just recently got back from Korea & she brought tons of goodies with her! She really did some heavy duty shopping at The Face Shop, so much so that they gave her a piece of luggage just to fill their products in! I didn't only get Face Shop products, my mum threw in tons of interesting things too!

I'm definitely most interested in the Paraffin Nutrition Nail Pack! I may do a review on it if you're interested :)  The pink packet to the right is supposed to help me dry my nails!

Non- nail stuff included pore strips that are made from the mud found in Rotorua, two pairs of earrings, some sample packets from The Face Shop & lastly,  The Face Shop lip gloss (It has a name but sadly, it's in Korean...)

First ever non-nail polish swatch on the blog! :O 

On my skin The Faceshop's You Make Me Glam is a peach toned pink with a smattering of glitter. When applied on my lips, there's no coverage & it's too thin. The color doesn't show either. Ugh what a waste :(
