Qing's nails.

I did the first set months ago and totally forgot to post it up. Until I recently did her nails again only did I realised that. -.- Yes I guessed you all should have seen this set of nails posted by her months ago... she is Qing. Love this girl and her nonsense. HAHA. You can enjoy her nonsense here. =D


Baby blue with soft glitter, with lace and white bows! She designed her own nails. ;D

She always knows what designs she wants (sometimes v complicated?) and I always try to psycho her into doing something simpler (save time and energy cos her nails are very tiny, very difficult to draw ahhhh). Am I complaining or what? Hahaahaha.


The second set which I just did for her in Dec! Again, she modified and created her own design. :) For colors and design like this, we usually extend and paint them with nail polish. But I love to create them using gel colours cos the colours won't ever chip and they're so glossy!

Funky and elegant.


Long round nails! Royal purple + peach orange. And a touch of gold and crystals! Does this reminds you of royalty? :D

Something funky! Hehehe.

I may need to see a Dr. I think I was poisoned, lol..........

So about a month ago I was browsing eBay for polishes, when I came across this listing, that had a picture of what looked to be such an amazing polish! It doesn't have a name, but maybe referred to just the #189. The listing, from what I recall, just called it Purple Glitter. It was coming from another country, so I waited very patiently for about 2 weeks. Which I know isn't long, but for me......was a lifetime :( Well when it finally arrived, and couldn't wait to try it. When I first opened it, I could see it was very sheer, but that doesn't bother me at all, since I love to layer. I grabbed my Petites Wild Plum, and just did 1 coat of that, then added my new pretty. It really is GORG, but the smell...........can I just say that I'm pretty sure my insides might be permanently damaged from this stuff, but who cares when it looks this good! If I'm ever to do another full mani with this stuff, I will need to be in some kind of open pasture, with Vicks Vapor Rub, under my nose! This was also the polish, that I had used in this post, in the very last mani, on my tips

Ciglia finte: dupe perfetti e economici

Come vi sarete sicuramente accorte, è da un pò di tempo che ho una (nuova) passione per le

ciglia finte

e, come sempre quando scoppia un nuovo amore, ne ho fatto incetta!

Questo trend sta prendendo piede anche tra le case cosmetiche più popolari (Kiko, Essence, ELF).

Dopo essermi un pò documentata, ho iniziato a fare compere, sia in profumeria che on-line e questo è una parte (minima) di quello che ho comprato!

Vi avviso che non vi mostrerò le classiche ciglia che potete trovare un pò ovunque, ma modelli particolari adatti a serate speciali!



Tutti i prodotti che vi mostro li ho acquistati da un sito inglese che fa spedizioni in Italia con posta raccomandata a firma ed e' questo qui: eyelashesdirect vi lascio il link.


Mi sono accorta che molte somigliano a modelli di altre case ben più famose e costose, siete curiose?


Queste vi ricordano qualcosa?
A me sì, sono identiche alle nuove ciglia Kiko, le Sophisticated 03, con piume nere laterali

KIKO vs. EYELASHDIRECT.CO.UK











E queste non sono forse le Kiko Sophisticated 01? Guardate voi stesse!

KIKO vs. EYELASHDIRECT.CO.UK













Ma ho gioito quando ho potuto confrontare le mie Make Up Forever 243 con queste:


Ed eccole sovrapposte, le immagini parlano da sole!


come potete vedere sono identiche a parte il glitter che anzichè rosso è bianco, il modello MUFE con i glitter bianchi è il n. 113.

Tra tutti questi confronti ho riscontrato un'unica grande differenza: il prezzo!

Se le MUFE costano da Sephora € 17 e le Kiko9.90, quelle che vi ho mostrato variano da £2.50 a £3.25.

Allora, cosa aspettate a provare il nuovo must della stagione?
