Before anything, let's have the first of two nail looks I have this week
Sorry it's a little banged up :)) I've had this look since last week. Just a matte black (Bobbie Kohl with China Glaze Matte Magic on top) with gold tips :D (China Glaze 2030)
Anyway, through the time I've been gone, there's been some haul-worthy stuff but I'm afraid that I've been gone so long that they're not so "current" anymore y'know? So with starting new, let's just keep it to stuff I've got this week, yes? :))
A foot pad thingy from Saizen (don't ask. I got curious and I was wondering if it'd do my grandparents well :p), cute strawberry earrings from the tiangge in the mall and the Maybelline Hello Kitty Mascara (because it was on sale, I'm almost broke and I needed a mascara BADLY, hoping for good things on this one but I've only used it once so far so I can't really say anything)
Sasa glitter polishes and a polish (no names though) from my kid cousins when they went to HK :) [AWWWWW cute tots love :p]
And of course, the star of the post ;)
I think, if you've followed me long enough, you know what this kind of wrapping means, yes?
And I know, this is a boring picture. I'm just constantly pleased at things that are packed well but still not a challenge to open at all. And again, I sound like an ad but shoutout to MdE/HoF!
A key necklace I've been wanting for SO long now. I've actually tried ordering this at another shop before MdE offered F21 orders and it was a fail attempt on the part of the seller. No worries. This baby's mine now :3 Can you tell it's meant to be? :))
Another cute and simple necklace that looks somewhat classic, yes?
The Katy Perry for OPI mini-set, in and out of the box. And boy are they serious about being mini :)) Still, it's a nice concept. I'd like to try a lot without committing to buying each full size.
The much buzzed about black shatter top coat. And lemme just tell you. In the beginning I absolutely thought that crackled looks were, for the lack of a better term, dirty looking and not in the good way. I guess it's the OCD neat-freak in me but maybe it was also because I'd rarely see a black one. I'd see outrageous colors with bad contrasts that I just got turned off completely. Then the Katy Perry collection came out and I was only really into looking at the polishes, but upon seeing this on top of the polishes had me sold!
Swatches! From L-R: The One That Got Away, Teenage Dream, Last Friday Night, Not Like The Movies
My "Mara got too excited while doing her mani she hasn't cleaned up yet" shot pre-shattering
Aaaaand post-shatter topcoat! I must say, they look quite badass and looking at 'em makes me so so so happy! My fave color from the collection has got to be Not Like the Movies because of its gray-green color that gets a pretty purply pink sheen where the light hits it. I'm actually contemplating on getting it full size!
Tips? If you want more spaces between your shatter, go for a thinner coat. Like block-y pieces? Thicker is the way to go! Then you can just sit back, relax and watch as the coat shatters and dries real quick!
Last, I just wanted to reorganize my polish collection. It's not much but from thinking I'd never fill one of the organizers I have and now defying that statement, I'm kinda feeling "wth" about it :)) It's nothing big, really. I just separated the local ones from the non-local ones as well as sort of had them according to brand or kind (e.g. treatments separated from actual polishes or glitters). And I forgot about my nail paints! They're kept away somewhere but I'll fix it soon :))
Here's the first one. I blocked them off because they'll move around too much if I separate them now. This includes a few BK ones, mostly Bobbie and Chic as well as some other brands like Caress. Seeing breathing space in my storage area makes me feel like I haven't been "that bad." HAHA.
And the second one! If you spot the Black Shatter at the middle, you'll see how the mini polishes are dwarfed by its size! Our of the bunch my favorite brand so far is OPI (can you tell? :p) because of the formula/consistency and the brush! Other brands here: Orly, CG, Sasa, Wet n Wild, Sinful Colours, and the famous Nubar 2010 :p
So there. It's not the biggest collection but I love each and every color I have, local or not. I'm glad I had a spare tub (it used to house random thingamabobs on the vanity) because for a while now, I'd have bottles not so safely placed at random spaces between polish bottles! (BAD MARA)
So zere. Hope you liked this post!
'Til then,
Love muchness,
Ciao!
