For the (Q)win!

My stoke level is up to the sky. Sister bought this shade after my strong commendation.

Butter London is really a good fancy brand from the shades, formulation (it's actually a 4 free), application and drying time. However, it never lasts without Seche Vite. Over all, I won't regret getting like five more bottles (a bottle costs $14).

Butter London All Hail The Queen (3 coats)

Tee hee! That's so queenly. This jelly finish lacquer gives me no problem at all. It is described as semi holographic but I don't care. I mean, clearly you can see how adorable it is, err... I don't know what else to say; I'm captivated.

"All hail their queen, fair regent of the night."

Sweet Nail

Literal. As in sweet from the gustatory nerves! To be honest, it's always been a sweet failure. I mean, I am actually creating something that totally differs from the finish product. First, the roses nails that  turns out to cotton candy. Then this one. This is a chessboard.

Then again, I was told that it is a chocolate wrapper. The Limited Edition Hershey's Kisses Marshmallow Creme! Common denominator? Letter 'C' and 'sweets'. Alright, I'll take it as a compliment.  Oh btw, I use China Glaze Hi-Tek for the base and stamped with Essie Topless & Barefoot.

Woooo! Somehow convincing. 

I am very excited over the things right now. My new lacquers (Hunger Games Edition et al.), sister's homecoming, Baccalaureate and Graduation, Summer Camp, Med school and more. I can foresee that I'll be busier than bees but let me enjoy the untaken days with you.

Day 4: Moonlight

Oops! You're right. It's has something to do with Mick. Though I'm placid if really it is connected. I guess.

OPI Suzi Says Da!, China Glaze Hi-Tek

Windows open and directly under the sun

Learning is a process. It takes time. Not as splendid as a real half-moon, I okay. But  I love how it stuns me.

Exciting how a brown turns to wine. It looks violet/grape under cool lighting and turns to chocolate wine under the sun. Awesome-sauce!

I did this just in my right hand and I stop. Maybe I'll do it again next time; in a much better mood.

Just so you know, my lacquer (ChG Hi-Tek) spilled during application. It messed the floor; tiny splotches in my night stand and walls. Goodness. 

And lastly, by the way, have you heard the word cruciverbalist? I just heard. No connection. Haha. 

Cake-y Nail

As I promised just right after my Oh, Lara. But this have to be fast. 'Twas inspired by a manicure where Mr. Google landed me which I'm in fact searching now --- I even scavenged my browser's history, but I gave up. So just to show you, here.

It used to be the background image of my header. Imma being a-mnemonic (from where did I get it so I couldn't give you the link) and I'm candid to admit it. Sorry.

While I'm doing my own version, my li'liest sister gave me a chat and told me she wants me to do it on her nails. I said I was doing it, as in now, on my nails. And she obliges me to post a spoiler. By the way, she's in Riyadh.

Not perfect but I like how it blends. Something that made me think of a layered chocolate cake! The side looks good though...

Base to tip: Orly Porcelain, Essie Topless & Barefoot, Color Club Best Dressed List

Just so you know, it's not good to capture it with flash (not even under the sun) for the reason that T&B will blend to Porcelain and they will look as one color. I took (like) ten of this color but I did not like most of them. Maybe I was not in my hormones.

How about some effect/s?
