Happy Lunar New Year!

Hi guys! This is just a quick post to wish all of you a happy, healthy, wealthy and prosperous (Chinese) new year! I'm typing from my phone, because I'm at my grandma's house and there is no Internet other than 3G.

I've been eating a lot of homemade food made by my grandma and lazing around, watching tv. It's been raining quite a bit, which some people believe is because it's the year of the Water Dragon. Or global warming.

Here are a couple of photos from my phone, which will hopefully put you in a CNY mood. One of them is of Toffee, I hope she misses me!

Guess This Red Contest Day 10 (Last Day!)

Finally! It's the last day of the contest! Phew! It's taken me much longer than expected but better late than never, right? :D  Today's clue is the easiest. I will be extremely disappointed if anyone doesn't do their research and gets this answer wrong!

This form will be open until I announce that it has been closed (or until it stops accepting responses, if I forget to announce it).


For the details, the rules, the winner selection and the prize, go to the original/Day 1 contest post. The forms for Days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are now closed, so please do not enter any answers there, as they will be disqualified anyway.

I would highly recommend that you read everything in the Day 1 post if you haven't already, before submitting an answer. Also, if you are a new follower, you might want to get all the previous clues by going to the post of that particular day (:

This photo was taken under artificial lighting.

Day 10 Clue: This polish has been described by a previously mentioned blogger as "supremely flattering".

17 Cosmetics Royal Indigo with CND Jade Sparkle Gradient

Hi guys! I'm probably studying so hard that my brain is threatening to escape through my ears right now, but I scheduled this post in advance so I wouldn't leave you for too long :D

My friend said that this manicure reminded her of Christmas, but unfortunately I couldn't post it in time for that (oops) so here it is, a little bit festive for those who see it that way. I actually had to sponge twice because the first time, I'd done a horrible job. I just sponged over that again and it looked better.

I did 2 coats of 17 Cosmetics Royal Indigo (purple creme) and sponged CND Jade Sparkle over my tips. Jade Sparkle appears to be a gold-blue duochrome, but you'll see that later.





Artificial lighting


I hope you enjoyed that! You're probably having way more fun than I am right now ):

Guest Post for Ivana

Hello! This guest post I did was quite a few days ago but I completely forgot to tell you about it!

I was among other awesome bloggers who did a guest post for Ivana while she recovered from wrist surgery. You should definitely check out all the other guest posts! Ivana also has gorgeous nails so when she's back (I think she is already? I don't know. Haha) you can marvel at her nails!

Click here or on the photo above to go to my guest post! (:
