MAC Soirée

MAC Soirée is a beautiful bronze metallic frost. I really liked the formula of this one- it was soooo easy to apply. However, taking it off was kind of a pain (not as bad as glitter, that's for sure). I almost didn't want to change nail polish since the color is so pretty... but I was also dying to try the next one...


Off to study for midterm exams now... next post will be OPI Fiercely Fiona!

Sally Hansen Pedal to the Metal

Happy Monday!

I made the BEST green tea cupcakes yesterday with my sister and my cousin, they were delicious!!! We've been planning my (other) cousin's bridal shower for the past few weeks, and the date is coming soon!! It's so exciting! I'll make sure to post a few pictures of the brunch.

The bride-to-be and I went polish shopping the other day, and we finally chose her color! It's a nice translucent pink from Rimmel. She loves it, which makes me soo happy [and relieved]!

Sally Hansen Pedal to the Metal is a metallic light gray. It's really pretty! There's a slight hint of a purple tone, which makes it that much nicer. This was 2 coats.

Also, I've edited the SH Angel Wings post. Don't know why the pictures didn't show the first time. Sorry!!! I will make sure it won't happen again!

Have a great week!

I'm baaackk!!

Yay for reading week!!!

To all those who are still having midterm exams, Good Luck!!

First, I'd like to wish you all a Happy Lunar New Year! I hope Year of the Tiger will be better than the Year of the Ox!!!

Alright, I have some catching up to do, so here was my NY mani:




I used Nicole I Stop for Nicole, a nice frosty red with gold micro glitter.

The influence was these Chinese red envelopes:

China Glaze Thunderbird

This one is an absolutely gorgeous dark red from China Glaze's Retro Diva Collection. Its definitely got a retro vibe to it, and that's why I love it so much!!

China Glaze Street Racing

Happy Friday!
Class is finally over, now I only have to survive my 5 exams and then Hallelujah! VACATIONS! Can't wait!

Anyways today I have China Glaze Street Racing from the Retro Diva Collection.

2 coats. Beautiful burnt orange metallic frost. I really like this one-- makes me think of the trees' orange leaves in autumn.

You can easily get this one from your favorite etailers.

Have a great weekend!

Revlon Coconut Crush

So sorry for the lack of updates!
My marketing team and I just learned on Wednesday night that our big project (we have to develop a new product/service) and final presentation (pitch the idea to the class) is on the 23rd! We have less than 2 weeks to do it and prepare for it!!!!!! So my next week is filled with group meetings and late hours at school...

Anyways.... last week, I was able to swatch Revlon's Coconut Crush, from the Fruitful Temptation collection, which is a line of 8 scented nail polishes. Cool, isnt it?


Although it is nothing amazing, the color is a beautiful ivory frosted shimmer and like the name says, it smells like coconut! Pictured is 2 coats.

About the scent: it does smell like coconut and it smells good... at first. I don't know how I feel about my nails constantly smelling like fruit when I wear this polish. Honestly, I woke up with the smell of artificial coconut and it was not good at all.

Sephora by OPI Mermaid to Order

Last summer, the Sephora by OPI team released 6 "mermaid" shades. The collection consisted of 6 bottles of greys, turquoise and blues.

I got one of them, Mermaid to Order after hearing all the great feedback it got.

I'll be honest, I was a bit disappointed. I would describe this as a a metallic turquoise with shimmer. The color gorgeous but I don't like the metallic finish too too much, since 95% of the time, you can see brushstrokes. It wasn't that bad here, but I'm still not fully in love with this color. It's a bit sheer so this took me 3 coats.

These are still available on Sephora's website here.
