Fish Art

I got a chipped nail D: Well, one already chipped, but the other chipped today. Both were the Ulta3 Pacific Fever, which is making me think it's either this particular bottle (as I've never had problems with my other Ulta3 bottles), my top coat or I've been treating my nails absolutely horribly (which I haven't).

I'm taking the chance to do some nail art with brushes now, but wielding them with my left hand, so the art came out dodgy, but not too dodgy. A bit thick, but I do like it :)

The sun didn't want to come out and play D:

 In case you can't tell (which you probably can't), I did do some "string manicure", inspired by A Nail Polish Addict's Jubilee Mani. Can't really see much of it anymore, which is a pity, because it looked really nice, albeit a bit messy because it was left hand. I didn't do my left hand because I didn't want my skin peeling off like it did on my right. Really should get better nail polish remover...

From L-R: Cutex 2in1 Base Coat, Orly Aspen, Borghese Rapido Menta, Borghese Rapido Marino, Ulta3 Pacific Fever, Ulta3 Poppy, Ulta3 Confetti and Beauty Style Petite (silver). My apologies about the stuff in the background. It's all my mess, and my mum despairs that I will ever clean it up.

OPI Turquoise Shatter and Cutex 2in1 Base Coat

Here's the OPI Turquoise Shatter which I got as part of yesterday's haul.

In direct sunlight over the unknown Australis

In the shade

It's so sparkly and shiny and I can't stop staring at it! My first shatter polish, and I love it! Strange thing did happen though, when I went to put on my top coat. It changed colour, going slightly darker than what it looks like in the bottle. Not that I mind, of course :)

You can't really see it in that photo, but I did get little bald spots on my nails in the black areas, which aren't really obvious. Unfortunately, it's already starting to show slight tip wear. So I went and bought Cutex 2in1 Base Coat. I just searched it up on the internet, and it has mixed reviews. We'll see what happens when I try it!

EDIT;

So I opened it, and I didn't realise that the brush is icky and the bristles stick out at odd angles. Ah well, I'll just cut the stray bristles and hope for the best. On the other hand, however, it dries super fast and is really shiny :D

Today's Haul!

I got some new polishes today! So now I'm distracted by them which is really bad because I have a maths exam tomorrow and I really should study for it...

Anyway, here they are!

Australis Sinfully Sweet and OPI Turquoise Shatter

ORLY Aspen, Rose Radiance and Walk Down the Aisle

Altogether they cost $22.94. The three ORLYs were $10, OPI Shatter $9.95 and Australis $2.99. Priceline were having a sale >3

I also got some grey eyeshadow from the new Jap store that just opened for $2.80 (originally $3.99, but they're having a 30% off opening sale). Planning to experiment with it to make a grey polish! 

I think I'm getting addicted to polish now D: But at least it's a better addiction to have than cigarettes, drugs, alcohol...yea...

My mum likes ORLY Rose Radiance and Walk Down the Aisle, but because she works with food she's not allowed to put on polish. She's promised me that when we went back to China I can buy all the polish I want (within a reasonable range). Happy~

EDIT;

Tried the shatter, but I won't show you pictures because it's on my right hand and so it's really messy and yucky. The colour's nice though :)
