Vivacious Purple?

So I'm happy to say that I finally reached 300 followers! :) It makes me really happy that people like my blog, despite the lack of blogging nowadays. But since I have reached 300 followers, I will be having a giveaway! The whole prize isn't put together yet but when I have it finalized, I will post a picture up for you guys! The next post will be the rules/guidelines, blahblah and to enter in.

Today's post is a nail polish that I won from a giveaway from Jessica v Polish - Deborah Lippmann's Call Me Irresponsible. I got it a while back but I haven't been doing much nails, especially since when they get longer, they break just as quick so it puts me in an unhappy mood to do nails. Nonetheless I finally have pictures of this pretty and here they are.

Deborah Lippmann calls Call Me Irresponsible a vivacious violet creme, but I think of it as a grape jelly creme. This was 4 coats and 1 layer of top coat, however, you could get away with 3 but I did 4 in case of empty/uneven coats. Nonetheless, it's definitely an awesome bright but not too bright purple that works! :)



happy polishing & stay tuned for the giveaway post :)

Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day to those who celebrate or does something special on this day. :) I spent my morning at work until 2 and then had lunch with the bf :) walked around and shopped around-ish. Saw this cute bag at Aldo which I'm sooooo going to buy the next time I'm near my workplace, lol. Anyways no Valentine's Day mani. but I do have a nail wheel full of colors. These nail polishes were brought back to me from Bangladesh from my bf. :) I love the colors despite wonky brushes and weird-ish formula. But the colors came out great and I don't even know which ones to use first! :P So hard to choose!!

1-5 were from the same brand and I love the formula
I also looooove 8-13! Definitely awesome metallic streaky finish which came out nice. During the process of swatching, it didn't look as nice until the finish product! 


Hope you all enjoyed your Valentine's Day! & happy polishing!

GLEE!

Manhattan 610K entries are now in and I will input everything and get a winner soon. :) On other GOOD news today, other than the SUPERBOWL, GLEE is finally coming back! It's one of my favorite shows and to celebrate its comeback, here's a mani. that I did especially since I was able to pick up a bottle from Sephora - one from the Glee collection by Sephora by OPI Glee.

Sephora by OPI Gleek Out
3 coats because it was a bit on the sheer side and just to be safe from vnl. I free handed the letters with a nail art brush. It's a lime green but probably darker than OPI Simply Smashing from Serena Williams. 

hope you enjoyed & happy polishing!

Lunar New Year

Here's my Lunar New Year (Chinese New Year) mani. :)

OPI DS Reflection is a golden red with pink holographic polish. The holo doesn't appear that much as other DS polishes though, but nonetheless still beautiful! :) The mani. has 2 coats of Reflection and 1 coat of top coat. And since it's the year of the rabbit, I added that to my mani. (don't mind the emo smudge eye LMAO). Originally I wanted to use the nail art to write the Chinese characters but it doesn't work that well and my nails are not wide enough for me to have enough space. :(





hope you enjoyed & happy polishing!
don't forget that Manhattan 610K is ending today! (check out the sidebar!)
