OPI Fiercely Fiona

Quick update...

You guys will have to forgive my nails and cuticles on this one.... My left hand often gets neglected... It doesn't get the same treatment as my right hand, which is why I normally don't photograph it :P
I am still trying to get my nails back to how they were a year ago.

Fiercely Fiona, a chartreuse creme. It looked different in the bottle, but turned out less green and more yellow once on the nail. Application was... not good. 5 coats to achieve coverage.

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!

Happy Chinese New Year!!

Since it's Chinese New Year, I decided to paint a red colour on my nails. I thought Red My Fortune Cookie from OPI's Hong Kong Collection is very appropriate for this day! It is not my first time using Red My Fortune Cookie. I've used it on my french tips, on my friend's nails..but never on my whole nails! Generally speaking, I find red is not my colour so I never wear it on my hands even though it's a classic colour. But wow! this red with a little orange shade doesn't look that bad on me, isn't it? =) It is only last night's application that I realized how good the formula of my mini OPI bottle is!! Impeccable!! This is 2 coats, but even one coat would have been sufficient.

Happy Lunar New Year!!

Sushi Lunch @ Takara

Hello!

Finally, here is the first post about food! Yummy sushi!!

This Takara restaurant is located in the heart of downtown, Montreal. Nice Japanese staff, decent decor, tatami available =) Lunch is about 20 CAD$ with tax and tips, which I believe it's reasonable for eating japanese food at nice restaurant in Montreal. Soup, salad and tea included too (I just hate those asian places where they charge for tea..).

This place has more than 20 choices in the lunch menu. If you are not like me, a fan of raw food (heheheh I looooove sashimi), there are soup udon and teriyaki plates as well. This one is Sushi and Sashimi. Beautiful colours!! The only thing that disappointed me was the rice that was a little hard and too much vinegar. Next time I will go with Sashimi only =)

OPI What's With the Cattitude?

I'm back!
Who knew school could be so hectic so soon?! It feels like I just started yesterday, yet midterm is next week already! Time flies!

I took a little small from MAC polishes and wore OPI What's With The Cattitude from the Shrek Collection for more than a week (last week), and received lots of compliments! Made me so happy! :)

What's With The Cattitude is a soft blue creme. Cute and beautiful - perfect for spring/summer! I love this color because it is different than the other blues I own- Cattitude is light, pastel blue. Application was easy, 2 coats to achieve bottle color.

(Please ignore my dried cuticles... winter weather has taken a toll on them. Even hand and cuticle cream can't help it.)

Next swatch post: MAC Soirée!

Other nails-related gifts =)

I have been so jealous seeing Xuan-An's MAC gift... Last week-end, I met a friend who had been in exchange for a few months and just came back recently. Among the few little gifts she bought me, I found a few nail polishes! Yay!

Nails Inc is a brand you see everywhere in England according to my friend. As for Bourjois, I have seen the name when I was in Hong Kong..but it was a "eau de gloss". Unlike the other lip glosses, the eau de gloss is not sticky at all and i just love it! I hope the nail polish will not disappoint me!

MAC Imperial Flower

Here's part 2 of 4 of my MAC gift!

Imperial Flower is truly gorgeous and the name suits the color too!

Orange shimmer. Reminds me of Koi fish... Very good application, although it did need 3 coats. The shimmer is so pretty! You can see in clearly on the bottle in the picture. I am a big fan of the color orange, so I loved this polish from the moment I got it out of the box!
