Gelish Marbling Tutorial

Gelish Marbling Tutorial

Sometime ago, I posted a video tutorial on how to do marbling with Gelish. Unfortunately, many of you reported that you were unable to view the video as access was restricted by Youtube for your country. I have no idea how to fix that, so I’m posting the pictures from the video here instead! This … Continue reading »

For Sale

I have some polishes that I bought awhile back and never got round to using. I figured that I don’t actually need such a huge polish collection since I always keep going back to the same old colours, and I prefer to expand my Gelish collection, so these are going off at low price. They … Continue reading »

Spring cleaning

Recently, I’ve been shopping up a storm and I’m running out of space! So, I’m looking through all my stuff and seeing what I should keep and what I should let go of. My first announcement: I am giving away three brand new Crackle Glaze polishes by China Glaze, in Black Mesh, Crushed Candy and … Continue reading »

Mini haul from Hong Kong

I stumbled upon some nail polish stores in Hong Kong, selling OPI/China Glaze/Zoya/Essie/Color Club/Seche etc at reasonable prices. I’m used to getting these items at bargain prices, so I didn’t end up buying much… There were no savings involved, just convenience! It all started with my sighting of this woman outside the H&M at Queen’s … Continue reading »

Cuticle Nippers

About two weeks ago, I bought an awesome pair of cuticle nippers. Previously, I’d been using the standard one issued by my nail school. Teacher Nicole said that we could always buy better quality, sharper ones if we wanted, but they would be dangerous in untrained or inexperienced hands. I took her advice and continued … Continue reading »

Cheapest rates in town

In the past, I used to count myself extremely lucky if I could get a bottle of OPI for $12. (That’s 50% off the retail rates in Singapore.) Now, so many people are offering sprees or in-stock polishes that you can easily get a bottle of OPI for as low as $10 (@Crazy eMart) and … Continue reading »

China Glaze Fifth Avenue

Removed my acrylic extensions but kept the one done by Teacher Joe because I want to know what the perfect extension looks like when I’m practising – that’s why I love volunteering for demonstrations in class! Because my nails are in such a bad state now, I had to cover them up. Took the opportunity … Continue reading »

A Plug for Fingertip

Went to Fingertip today for a long-overdue classic pedicure and spotted this! They are now offering a course for basic nail care at only $80 for four lessons (2 hrs each). Minimum number of 4 students required per course, and timing is 2-4pm on weekdays. So if you’re interested, round up some friends and give … Continue reading »

Daiso Haul!

Went on a rampage in Daiso@Ion Orchard yesterday! (To my international readers: Daiso is a Japanese chain that prices ALL its products at S$2 each in Singapore. They have all sorts of merchandise, from towels to cosmetics to stationery to pet supplies… I always end up buying something every time I step in there!) Something … Continue reading »

Need nail polish?

Bestie’s Closet is holding another nail polish spree! I already sent in my orders, but they need a couple more before they will close the spree, so… if you’ve got your eye on any of the new OPI/China Glaze/Essie/Color Club collections, check them out! Bestie’s Closet has the LOWEST prices I’ve seen online, and they’re … Continue reading »

Best deals ever! (Updated)

Omg! I was just at Beauty Asia Singapore, a trade fair for all sorts of beauty products. Thank goodness Pam told me about it, because the deals were insane! I’ll update again with pictures later because I’m rushing off to my nail art class now, but just imagine – Orly and China Glaze polishes at … Continue reading »

Update on bulk order

Just a quick update to those who have joined my order for nail products! I have already sent the list of items to my boyfriend’s sister, so she will be checking out the nail supply stores soon. If anything is out of stock, I will notify you with an SMS, or an email if I … Continue reading »

Christmas gift packaging on the cheap

Had some time to kill before my class the other day, so I went shopping in Plaza Singapura. My main objective was to hunt for studs, but I didn’t find any. Not at Beadtle Sweet, not at Daiso, not at Spotlight, and not at any of the scrapbooking stores. Sadness. One good thing came out … Continue reading »

Riding on my order

As mentioned in my previous post, I can probably squeeze another 20-30 bottles into my order. The brands available are OPI ($10.50 for normal range/$14 for designer series), China Glaze ($8), Orly ($9), Essie ($10), Color Club ($8). As for base/top coats/thinners, there’s Nail Tek Foundation II base coat ($12) and Nail Tek Intensive Therapy … Continue reading »

Ordering stuff from the States again!

It’s been less than a month and my Seche Vite is already half-used and my Seche Restore is 3/4-full. On hindsight, I really should have ordered the professional sizes (jumbo-sized for salon use)! It is so much more value for money when you are a heavy user of these products. Anyway, I was looking online … Continue reading »

Baa Baa Black Sheep

As promised, here is a picture of THE tanktop that inspired my two recent sheep designs! I bought it in a frenzy along with three other tanktops from the same stall because they were going at just S$1 each, so I ONLY just realised that the black sheep are all dressed up for Christmas.

China Glaze and OPI

A sneak look at some of the OPI and China Glaze polishes that we will be helping my boyfriend’s mom to sell at the flea @ *Scape Street & Arts Market this coming Saturday, 18th Dec:

China Glaze Party Hearty

Thanks to my boyfriend’s sister J, I FINALLY have Party Hearty from China Glaze’s ‘Tis the Season to be Naughty and Nice Winter/Holiday 2010 collection! Check out this swatch from Scrangie: Isn’t it just so beautiful and Christmassy? It can be layered over other polishes as well, as demonstrated by Scrangie: Stunning! I love how … Continue reading »
