Absence makes the heart grow fonder ;)

Hey everyone!

I know I haven't been blogging for at least 2 weeks now and I'm so sorry for that! My life is basically revolving around school right now. As some of you know, I just started university about a month and a half ago and well, all the work's been coming in recently and I have a couple of deadlines and tests coming up. Totally not used to uni life yet. I usually do my nail photos and watermarking on my computer but nowadays I've just been using my laptop for school work so I haven't had much time on my computer. I assure you that I'm still painting my nails a couple of times a week so I definitely have plenty of stuff to show you (new nail polish too!!!!). Anyway, just wanted to explain my absence and to say that I'll be back soon!! Another thing, shoutout to Rachael from http://rachosnaillove.blogspot.co.uk/ for nominating me for my second award! Thanks so much girl!! :) Really appreciate it. I'll get to it asap too!!

Thanks for reading!

Butter London Thames Swatch

Hey ladies! I'm so happy that being in university means there are no nail rules so.. painted nails every day yay!! So anyway, today I have Butter London Thames. Thames is a gorgeous green. It reminds me of the colour of emerald! I'm so in love with the colour that it's even on my toes right now haha! Formula of this one was good. I used two coats.

Really love how majestic this shade is. Would love to hear what you guys think in the comments :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Butter London Poole Swatch

Hey ladies! Quick post before I head to bed. I'm so tired, can barely keep my eyes open! University life is getting tiring :( Today, I have Butter London Poole. This is a gorgeous blue, I think this blue is called Tiffany blue too, and it really reminds me of the colour of a swimming pool! Such an apt name huh? The formula on this one was quite good but then I wouldn't expect anything less from a pricey Butter London polish! I used two coats and sealed with top coat.

I probably own at least 3 of these kind of similar-looking blue shades! I'm a sucker for them unfortunately. I definitely do not regret buying this one though! 

Polish Haul Saturday #14

Polish Haul time!!!!! I love sharing my new polish of the week :) I hope you guys enjoy reading about them too. I think I buy way more polish than I can use though in a week though. Like nowadays, I only paint my fingernails once or twice a week! They're currently bare while I pick a colour for next week! Today, I have two Face Shop polishes to share! :)

They are Face Shop Face It Wide Nails GR503 and Face Shop Face It BL601

A close-up of the glitter. It's sort of a mix of blue, purple and green bar glitter in a transparent polish. IT'S SO PRETTY!!

I'm obsessed with glitter but I'm always too lazy to wear them because the removal process is tedious. I'm a fan of the glue base coat method but I don't like how it chips/peels off really fast! Like before I'm ready to remove it. So I rarely use that.

Anyway, thanks for reading! :)

Butter London Queen Vic Swatch

Hello ladies! Quick mid-week post! Today, I have Butter London Queen Vic! This one's a really royal-looking colour and the name is so apt!

Love how classy this polish is! What do you think? :)

Polish Haul Saturday #13

Yay!! I'm gonna be able to finish this post up while it's still Saturday here. It seems like such a challenge to get posts up on time nowadays. Maybe I should start doing a couple at one shot when I'm free and then schedule them for certain dates? But it's hard to find a long period of free time where I can be on the computer. I've got so much research to do lately! And it's only coming to the third week of school yikes! At least I do find some interest in what I'm studying so that's a good thing :) Okay, on to my new polish!

No, group photo today because... the photo was ugly and I didn't realise till I started this post.

First up, Ciate Twinset and Pearls. My first Ciate polish yay! Isn't she pretty? The polish isn't really white, it's more of a sheer.. I'm not even sure what colour it is. It's quite transparent but there's a purple-ish shimmer inside!

Butter London Poole. I have a new love for Butter London polish! They're a little pricey here in Singapore. Slightly more than double of what I can get an OPI for :/ But the colours are so pretty that I can't resist haha!

Butter London Fruit Machine. A pretty pastel pink! Not sure how this would look with my skin tone though.

Butter London Thames. I LOVE THIS ONE. It's so unique in my collection! And the green is so beautiful!

Catrice Karl Says Tres Chic Swatch

Hey ladies! Quick post before I'm off to do some school stuff. Today I have Catrice Karl Says Tres Chic! It's such a gorgeous feminine light pink. I could wear this shade forever! I think it really suits my skin tone too :) Hehe, fan of muted pinks. 

In natural light, 

Artificial light,

The polish doesn't dry as shiny as it appears here. It's the Seche Vite top coat I used. I really love how it makes my mani look really good! And smooths out all the funny bumps that somehow appear because of wonky polish or uneven coats! Anyway, thanks for reading :)
