NOTD: OPI Rally Pretty Pink

Loving the shimmer and glimmer! Just have to put it under a strong light (in my case, I use the flash).


I heard someone saying that it's dead with Zoya Faye. I haven't tried it (Faye) but judging from its color, there's no doubt.

Glimmer, shimmer, shine!

I know that it has been forever since the last but it's good to be missed sometimes. =)

So this is what I got for today; after watching "A Fashion Fairytale" with my nieces for the nth time, at least I end up with a meaningful idea.


 OPI Your Royal Shine-ness (base)
China Glaze Hi-Tek (contrast)

Royal Shine-ness looks like a pale version of Jitterbug (in my opinion). Though they have very distinct shades in bottles, I guess it's just the lighting.

Another thing. Hi-Tek is said to be a chrome (as it is in Khrome Collection). By naked light, it is just an ordinary, plain, common and nothing-special lacquer 'cos even its bottle color doesn't say, "Hey, I'm a chrome". But until I set it under the rays of sun...


Hmmm... Now it seems to be like Deborah Lippmann Sugar Daddy, eh?

Day 2: Chrome's physiology

Seriously, I'm getting addicted to chromes. I love it's uniqueness, plus, it's an instant nail art!


Just so you know, this is my second trial. I got this polish last December and I'm overly excited to put them in my nails because it looks so promising in the bottle. I almost dump it because I hate it from the brush to formula. But now, I'm happy that I kept it. =)

I put 2 coats of Gray's Anatomy over 3 coats of Glamour Purse and that's the result. Like-y!

Chrome + Khrome

Boredom strikes me again and I tripped on my nails. Should I'll be getting those unopened, untested and forsaken.

The first lacquer, OPI Alpine Snow (matte). In the first place, it's not that I hate the mattified thing but the not-so-polisher-friendly formula. Secondly, when I learned about the mattifying top coat, the more it gave me the marbles. After a fashion and for the nails sake, I roughly forgo it.


I tried to make some effects what will transform the dullness to awesomeness.

Chrome. Yes! I pulled my two favorite chromes --- Missha HGR01 and China Glaze Hi-Tek. I mixed them literally over the stamping plate and... ta-da (above)!



Jeez. This is comely (despite some messes).  =)
