Colourful Leopard-prints Nail Art and 3D Gyaru Nail Art

This post is all about the nail arts that I did during these two weeks time! ♥

The first one that I'm gonna share about is this colourful leopard-printed nail art. If you know me well, you'll certainly know that I'm normally not an animal print person, I don't own anything with animal prints except crocodile and other similar reptile prints, the rest are simply too wild and sexy for me. (>~<") But I was being lazy that day and it so happened that I stumbled across a colorful leopard print nail art photo painted with neon colored dots. It looks good and easy to make, ♪( ´▽｀) so I decided to try it.

I'm using pastel colors and a white base here for my leopard prints. (^o^)/* So it wouldn't look so bold and wild. The photo above are the nail polishes that I've used. :D hehe.

 Then, use a brown nail color to paint the 'edges' on. I'm using brown instead of black for the purpose of toning it down too. I think bronze or a soft gold color will also turn out nice. ♪(=ε= )

After that, apply a layer of topcoat and tadaa! Nails are done in less than erm 10-15 minutes? haha.

The topcoat that I'm currently using is Seche Vite™ dry fast top coat.  It's super thick and awesome! It dries up really fast and leaves your nail glossy. And the best thing is that, you don't even have to wait for the bottom layer to dry when applying! Woots! Saves me plenty of time. (=ε=) Seriously a must-have item if you love playing with your nails. After applied this, my nail lasted for almost 2 weeks without chipping! ♪( ´▽｀)

These are obviously not my fingers hahah! Sis wanted a simple and girly nail art so I did this for her. I also did another one for mum that day lol but since they look almost the same (mum wanted a simpler one =ε="), so I didn't take picture of it.

------------------------------------------------------------

I finally received a new batch of nail art decos that I bought from Nail Princess Gallery yesterday! The reason I keep buying from this shop is because they're selling everything at a very cheap price and there's a whole lot of pretty nail decos to choose from! ♡♡♡ 

My favorite buy this time is definitely the 3D gel nail art pen! 

(Wanted to get it last time but it was out of stock) :( 

It is similar to the normal art pen but what's awesome is that it produces 3D results similar to arcylic and gel nails! (≧▽≦) It is a bit watery and not as sharp but I think it's really good enough. It doesn't need a lot of troublesome procedures like acrylic and gel and it's quite cheap too.

This is my first attempt! :D - Gyaru Nails! 

I only do heavy-decorated nails once in a while cause they're very time-consuming to make. (╥﹏╥) and I always end up decorating only my left hand sobs. Anyone willing to help me with my right hand? lol XD

 The 3D-looking bow, flowers, heart and gem are all made using the gel pen. ♡

Make sure you have a thick base applied on because I don't know what it might do to your nails =\ It is in fact recommended to use it the other way which I will show later. :)

Also, I used a shimmery/clear colored nail polish this time to replace the glue because somehow it makes my nails weak and it's a pain in the ass to wash off! Argh! (＞人＜;)

I really love the Victorian-looking pearl/gem design on my thumb nail! This is how it looks without flash. :P I did not manage to find one as large as this so I made it myself using the gel pen and some shimmery chips. :P

So this is the other way of using the gel pen. It's like making cookies! hahaha. First you get the basic shape done on a piece of plastic/glass or laminated paper, leave it to dry. After that, start coloring up the details with nail colors. Easy as that. :D You can keep them to use as stickers or nail decos. ♪( ´▽｀)  There are also other colors available in the shop (you can get them in a set) but they're all very bright/neon colors which I don't really fancy so I only bought the white ones ♪( ´θ｀)ノ

That's all for this long, texty post! I will not be updating again anytime soon due to my busy coming schedule.
 (╥﹏╥) Kthxbai.

My 21st Birthday Pressies.

Ok lah, this is a very very late birthday post which I was suppose to update few weeks ago. And this was not even what I initially wanted to post today haha XD but since I was transferring and editing photos from my camera, I thought I might as well get them all done at one time. ( ´ε｀)ノ♪

In fact, the reason I've been dragging to post this is because I don't really have anything much to write about. lol! My 21st birthday this year was a fairly quiet one, can't really celebrate it or go out on that day since it was the first day class started for this semester fml (>~<) and so I certainly did not expect to receive any gifts from anyone other than family and boyfie haha because he already got me an early birthday gift during our trip to sg. :P 

After the class on the next day of my birthday, Huan passed me a paper bag with a silver box beautifully wrapped inside! (>///<) ♥ haha! I was like (☆o☆) when I saw this card inside the bag! XD It's a hand-made card! I love hand-made cards cause they're much more personal and heart warming. ♪( ´▽｀) I actually have that habit of collecting letters/cards and even little hand drawn/written memos since young lol Most of them are from those times where internet was not so commonly used yet. *feels great nostalgia* (>~<) Ok back to the topic. (=ε=)

The card looks like this! Full of usachan and kumachan and other things that I love! ♥

Thanks everyone and Vinchan who made this card! (´▽｀)

 Super love this 3D cupcake tower! XD Too damn cute!  XD

A box full of bunny goodies! (☆o☆)!!!!

I love this box of pinky goodness!  ♪(๑´⍢`๑)

The TM bunny hand cream is too cute I don't wanna use it! haha

There is also a nice quote behind the box that I like very much.  

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. they must be felt with the heart." - Helen Keller

which reminds me of my favorite quote from The Little Prince.

"One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes."

♥

I also got a birthday letter from an old friend, 小红.  ♥

And it came with an adorable pair bunny ear studs! 

Unfortunately  I don't have ear piercings and since its ear studs I cannot transform it to ear clips or anything (╥﹏╥) 小红 suggested that I should use it as badges instead which I think is a pretty good idea! :P 

And tadaa! My first birthday pressie that boyfie gt for me in sg XD Even though I'm a fan of Rilakkuma and Korilakuma, I don't really own a hug-gable sized plush of them, so Win got one for me on our last day in sg :P Finally a huggable Korilakuma added into my collection! (≧▽≦)

And no, Korila didn't came with the red shirt on XD HAHA Korila 'borrowed' it from Coffee (=ε=) and somehow it makes him looks like a chinaman (with that red hat) lmao.
dong dong chiang~ ♪

 My bedside guardians.

 They need to be feeded too. (=ε=)

Belated pressie from parents.  ♥ Tiny pendant! LOVE! (=▽=)

The most belated gift which I received two days ago? lol Thanks hokee! :D 

He will be well taken care of by the bedside guardians. XD 

Also, not forgetting those who drop me birthday messages on fb and phone. Thanks all! 

I am so lucky to be blessed with a loving family, a nice boyfriend and a bunch of good friends!

3D2N Holiday in Singapore [Photo-heavy!]

Singapore is our nearest neighboring country after Thailand, but believe it or not, this was my first time traveling there! We took a first class coach there, it's very nice with comfy and spacious seats. :D  I usually have difficulty sleeping in public transport during long distance trips, but this time, I slept soundly for 8 hours straight! Hehe :3

 Yay! I can haz spacious leg room! *snors* And that's Win watching Tom and Jerry to kill boredom. lol! Love how they provide movies and games for you to play during the long, boring trip. They also provide blankets for passenger to keep themselves warm along the trip. So considerate! :3

This mischievous-looking, pantless bear belongs to Win's sis XD Cute? :P Two winnies in the house =3=

 Win and his big sista - Mei yi who tour guided us around in sg! Provide us shelter and brought us to places with good food! Thanks for everything! ♥

We arrived there on Saturday morning and the rest of the day was all about shopping at The Orchard Road! No photos as I was too lazy to bring my big-ass camera out. :P Since it was weekend, the place was really really crowded with people, so packed everywhere, it almost feels like Tokyo =3= The 2km street is full of HUGE designer boutiques, malls, department stores, and almost any brands you can name of, definitely a shopping heaven! ♪ヽ(=▽=ヽ ) Before we went there, Win joked about how if you shop in the orchard road from the first store till the last store at the end of street, and come back again to shop at the first store, you'll find that they already have new stuffs on display, making it an endless loops of shopping. (=3=") I thought he was exaggerating but no, it's true! *jaw-drops* Singaporeans do take their shopping very seriously. =3= 
 

On the second day, we went to Marina Bay Sands. (click on the link, the buildings look really cool) It's an integrated resort with casino, hotel, shopping and pretty much anything related to entertainment. The pool on the 56th floor only opens for the hotel guest so we only went to the observation deck at Sands Sky Park on the same floor. They have merchandise booth and bar there so you can buy a drink to chill and enjoy the view~ (=▽=)

 

 

This is a bit off-topic, but, I lovee my eyebrows! XD They used to be super bushy but not anymore! yay :D I had them shaped at Shu Uemura boutique @ Mid Valley. Don't have to cut my bangs monthly so it covers my fugly brows anymore :D Also, their hard formula eyebrow pencil is a must-have! So easy to use and makes your eyebrows look neat and natural. ♥ヽ(´ε｀ヽ )

I did not put on any makeup except my eyebrows and cosmetic lenses (if you wanna consider it a makeup) throughout the whole three days because my skin condition was really bad. T_T Not even sunblock because I hate the greasy/creamy feeling it gives! Urghhh.

From there, we had a good view of the statue of Merlion and the Infinity swimming pool. 

Love the design of everything there! Awesome architecture I must say! :3 The pool is only for hotel guests to visit and I'm still underage to enter a casino D: So click HERE to have a look at more of the awesomeness.

They have Louis Vuitton Island Maison store! Sitting directly on water! How cool :3

The colourful photo is the world's largest floating stadium and the lotus-looking building is the ArtScience Museum.

 

What do you mean they look like bra? 

Chilling in front of The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. Place where the Wonder Full water show will take place at night. Er I have no idea what the person behind Win is trying to do. Trying to mimic a cat? Haha! XD

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

 

 After dinner, we went to Cold Rock Ice Creamery at Holland Village for dessert! I had two berry flavored ice cream mixed together with nerds candy! Yums! ♥

"If you can dream it, we can ice cream it"

And to my surprise, Win's sis bought me a small chocolate brownie cake to celebrate my early birthday! XD Totally did not expect that! Haha ♥

It was a Monday on the third day, after breakfast with Mei yi and her friend, Win and I went to Universal Studios Singapore (USS) @ Sentosa! I was super excited can! We had our tickets purchased online, the admission price is about S$60 per adult, I would say that the experience is really well worth the price :3 It actually drizzled a little when we arrived but after that it was all warm and sunny again! Thank god for the nice weather! ♥

There are seven themed worlds! 

Started our journey from Hollywood! There are fancy designed shops on both sides of the street, definitely a great place to have your photographs taken hoho! Make sure you have a park map in hand and check out the show times in each world to plan your journey so you don't miss any of the exciting shows.

One of my favorite rides in USS! The Battlestar Galactica! There are two types of coaster rides: Cylon (blue), a suspended coaster and Human (red), a seated coaster. I really like the concept! I think it was about a war between the Cylons and humans, both rides depart at the same time and it looked like as if there's a battle going on! How cool! Me and Win rode on both sides twice!  I love trilling rides! o(≧▽≦)o There is also this ride called Accelerator at Sci-fi City which looks exactly like the spinning tea cup ride to me (==") Win and I hated it so we did not take the ride, because seriously, all it does is making you feel dizzy and nauseous. =3=

We were at Ancient Egypt! The Revenge of the Mummy indoor coaster ride is something you definitely should not miss! One of my favorites in USS. Props and effects used during the ride were all super realistic! *gasps* I shall not further spoil the details, you have to experience it yourself! ✿ヽ(´ε｀ヽ )

After Ancient Egypt, we headed straight to Far Far Away kingdom to watch the Shrek 4D show! The story and effects were quite good, but other that that, it was alright. I don't know if  it's because of the place I sat, the images I saw were all kind of with blurry edges ==" You know, like watching 3D movies without the 3D glasses. =3=  I'm pretty sure it wasn't because of the glasses because I've tried rubbing it :(

My expression was really weird so I covered it. =3=

Anyway, just to show you the pretty, grand arch of Far Far Away! :P

Candid shot by Win, it looks like as if I was trying to act cute. =3=

Didn't manage to get a full shot of the castle. :( Feels like disneyland eh? :3  

King Harold the Frog!

Wearing: Rose Pink Crop Top from H&M, Brown Paperbag Shorts from Reverie, Bag from Charles&Keith, Floral Printed Socks from H&M, Nude Lace-up Oxford Shoes from Vincci.

Then it was around lunch time so we settled our quick lunch at Fossil Fuel stall. They have all sorts of stalls and shops in each world selling snacks, meals and drinks. Each fast food meal set cost around S$10. Besides fast food, there are also Chinese and Italian restaurants. :3

After lunch we went back to Far Far Away to snap more photos. :P And after that the camera battery went dead fml. Super potong steam. D: But overall, the whole experience was really enjoyable. ♥  Remember to check out the Candylicious store before you head home! It's Asia's biggest candy store! o(≧▽≦)o
