The polishes I ordered from Nailvibe came on Monday and it was like some sort of birthday present from the postman (even though I paid for it)! I was really excited to open the envelop and bubble wrap to see my new colours! And I wanted to swatch them on but my nails were painted so I went ahead to make a scotch tape swatch! The following colours are not what I just bought, I'd be crazy if I bought so many colours at once! I just selected these few to show the nice graduation / progression from my pinks to black and the colours were all soooooo pretty!

My updated collection! I clearly need more trays! Probably get more when I drop by Japan Home! If I didn't count wrongly, I think there are 90 bottles now! And as you can see, I clearly patronise alot of brands, not just OPI, China Glaze and Essie! I love The Face Shop because they have such a wide range of colours to choose from and even though they may chip real fast, they're pretty cheap so I don't mind! I've got polishes from Mavala, Loreal, Sephora, Missha, Ettude House, Nature Republic and LA Girl to name a few!

I swatched some of my mum's polishes! She's pretty into a certain colour region and she sticks to that and buys shades of that colour. From what I can tell, she likes mauves and maroons but she's recently into taupes, after seeing my collection! I think the real person I got my polish craze from is my Grandma! She's coming to Singapore at the end of the month and if she sees my collection, she'll faint! HAHA! And I love it when she comes cuz she's so adventurous! She loves bright reds and pinks!

In the sunlight, because they look so different in real life as compared to the pictures and I wanted to give a better representation of their colours in different lighting!


Moving on to my previous mani, China Glaze Ingrid! It looks real brown and shimmery in the bottle but the gold shimmer can hardly be seen in real life unless you're under strong sunlight! Indoors, from certain angles, it does appear a little olive too! It's such an intriguing colour!




After SIX days! I think it's the longest any of my self-done manis have lasted! As you can see, I suffered a small chip on my right thumb and on my left index finger! The rest just had tip wear. By day 4 I was secretly hoping the polish would chip so I could paint on a new colour!




This is my current mani! Did it this morning! Was feeling pretty low after checking out the Accounting Quiz results so I decided to go with fun and cherry colours this time round! Alternated blue on my left hand and pink on my right. The darker blue is BL606 and the lighter blue is BL602. Both from The Face Shop!



The brighter pink is from Ettude House and the lighter pink is China Glaze Seashell!

A random picture of my Tax notes from yesterday's GST lecture! Sze Xia drew my name on for me!

Okay, I've got to prepare my Tax outline now! School is really getting very busy and I feel soooooo stressed. Can't believe the NUS students just had their last day of school and I still have 3 more weeks to go!

I told my mum that I'm hoping to strike Toto (even though I don't buy it at all). She said if I strike $10 million, I still have to finish school but I can set up my own mani/pedi shop, my dream ice cream / bakery shop and I want to write music! Such wishful thinking!
