Nail polish remover is one of the items that I use very frequently. Hence I am always on the look for affordable but quality ones.

Etude House Nail Polish Remover

Pink is Sweet Floral while Blue is Fresh Floral.

I am proud to say that Etude House Fresh Nail Wash (Nail Polish Remover) is one of the best nail polish remover that I have ever used. WHY?

1. Affordable
2. Does not strip my nails dry
3. Remove nail polish effectively
4. Smells great!

Finally it is Saturday! Although there won’t be much rest this weekend because I will be out for a short trip with my colleagues, that also means I am going to miss a mini-gathering with the girls. :( Eat more cakes on my behalf k.

Since it is summer, it should not be only flowers right? What about colorful rainbow? And I am assuming that everyone knows Skittles the candy?

I get bored when I see no color, or single color on my nails. So I decided to be playful and have 5 different colors.

For base and top, I used The Face Shop. Cream purple and neon green from Etude House, yellow and orange from Elianto and jelly pink from Revlon.

It’s really simple, after base coat, paint 2 coatings for each color, let dry, top up with top coat and you are done!

It can definitely keep your mood up, and you never get bored looking at it, so do people around you.

However, if your occupation requires dead serious personality, this might not be nice.

You may stop at this step and finish with a top coat. But I always prefer more :D

TGIF! I can’t believe how time flies and it is Friday already! :D

This weekend, I will be heading home to celebrate Father’s Day, mom’s birthday and sis’ birthday. It sure is going to be one heaven load of celebrations!

I have had this Stage nail polish in Charming for a long time, but it never attracted my attention as the color looks really dull from the bottle.

Just when I was about to give it away, I gave it a try and I was surprised!

The color actually turns out to be really sweet and subtle. Although I usually love bolder colors, but I love this now too!

I am bringing 2 gowns for photoshoot, one white gown and this yellow gown! I love the colors thought I am not  a fan of yellow.

To match the gown, I did a matching french manicure.

I love rhinestones! But they are also quite hard to work with because you need to be really careful with them. And the position to place them can be quite a headache sometimes.

However, I have found an easy and fool-proof way to look good to share with :D

A Tsuya-Tsuya nail wheel from pattybelle.com @ RM29. The quality of the stones and the box are good! I can recycle the wheel for other stones without a casing.

french manicure with rhinestones

An elegant french mani. You can just sweep white polish as a tip, or using french manicure stickers as guide.

When the polish is dry, coat a layer of top coat then quickly using tweezer to press the stones along the tip onto the nail.

It might be a little tedious…but it is a design that will not fail.  And they can cover the imperfections of the white tip.

Morning everyone! I am happy to announce that I only have to work for 3.5 days this week. *weeeee*

Today I am going to show my nails using 3D nail stuff.

Items that I used:
Base & top coat, white polish, french tips and a box of nail stuff.

Put the french tip in the middle of nails to create a larger partition.

Before the polish dries up, quickly pick up a stick-on and place it on top.
