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!

Sally Hansen Angel Wings

As promised, here's the polish I've found for my cousin!

We have yet to try it on her, so I'm still on the lookout for others. What she wanted: a translucent polish with a hint of color..... I'm thinking that if she doesn't like the shimmer of this one, I'm going to look into the french manicure colors. I saw a few that caught my attention... we'll see what she thinks!

This is Angel Wings from Sally Hansen, an opalescent polish: milky white base color, with shimmer that turns rosey in the sun. It's totally not my style, as I prefer cremes, but I think it's pretty cute and would be great for layering! This was 2 coats. Also, I'm still not used to Sally Hansen' new brush.....

Finally, summer class is over!!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys!
Missed you all!! I'm finally done with my summer class! Yay me! :)

I've been meaning to update you all on my cousin's wedding. As you may remember, we had chosen Zoya Miley for the bride's mani. Unfortunately, after trying it on her, my cousin didn't like it has much as I had hoped. She just did not like it against her skintone. :( We've decided to go for something even more subtle, so I'm back on the hunt for her perfect color! I bought a Sally Hansen yesterday, will post it here soon!

Anyways, here's my last mani:

Sorry for the awful pics!
 
OPI - OPI on Collins Ave is from the South Beach Collection from 2009. It's a bright orange/reddish coral creme. I love this! Very summer-y!

I've been struggling with swatching and changing manis recently. I'm always tempted to pick out greens or blues for summer, but I can't wear those colors to work!! Damn office...... I'll do my best to swatch more during the weekend!

Rescue Beauty Lounge Orbis Non Sufficit

Hi guys!
Today was my sister's graduating ceremony!! It was very nice, except that it was pouring rain outside and a bit long, lol. Can't wait till I graduate, though!!

Rescue Beauty Lounge's Orbis Non Sufficit is a gorgeous dusty green creme. RBL/Ji Baek delivers such great formula!! I can't help but be impressed everytime!!

MAC Lola Devine

Hi!
Hope you all had a good weekend... Mine was so-so...
Allergies has kicked in. My sinus is blocked, my nose is runny, my eyes itchy, can't stop sneezing, and now I think I have a cold. GREAT!

Moving on......... Today after school, I have decided to go buy nail polishes. I haven't done so in a while so I know it'll make me feel better. Just thinking about it makes me feel better!! :) Haha

MAC Lola Devine is a cute little pink creme. I only used 2 coats, but 3 would've been better, because it is still a tiny bit uneven.

Alrighty. I'm out.
Hopefully, I'll come back home with some nice nail polishes! :)

Rimmel Tequila Sunrise

Happy Saturday!

Rimmel Tequila Sunrise (in shade and in sunlight) is a orange creme. (In real life, the color looks more like in the first picture.)

I am not familiar with Rimmel's formula as I only have 3 polishes from them but, Tequila Sunrise's formula was not the best, unfortunately. It was hard to get it smooth and it was goopy. I used 3 coats to even out all the bald spots.

It's so nice out today! I think I'm gonna step out and enjoy the good weather.
Have a great weekend everybody!

China Glaze Second-hand Silk

'Morning!

Finally found my camera! Don't know why I didn't think about looking in my polish boxes! Haha

Second-Hand Silk is a super cute pink creme! The formula was a bit goopy, but after three coats, it was fine!!

Alrighty that's all I will write this time. I have a huge French literature exam this afternoon... wish me luck!
