Guest post on colorfulbottle's blog

For those of you who follow Dolores's blog, you'd know that she now has a guest post segment every week. She asked me to do one and I was extremely happy that she would have me on her blog.

So, if you'd like to find out what I did to cause this mess:

OPI Diva of Geneva

I'm going to leave you with one last post before I go on another crazy week of studying. I have a test every week now. Any remnants of a life that I may have had previously are slowly slipping away. What has my life come to? I don't know, I'll let you know when I have one =.='

Anyway, before I go into my room to hide in the coolness of air conditioning (it was 36 degrees Celsius today!), I want to show you OPI Diva of Geneva from the Swiss collection. I didn't buy this for myself, I bought this for Kellie.

I have to admit, she has a very good eye (um.. two good eyes) because the polishes I got off her wishlist are awesome. One of them was this one. I didn't do full swatches because I felt bad just swatching something that I was giving away, plus I was lazy. But this'll be enough, right? Quality over quantity? ;)

I can't descibe this because I suck at describing, but the pictures turned out pretty good so you can see for yourself. I did 2 coats, with top coat I think.

I was wondering why this was on her wishlist at first but I completely understood once I saw it in person. I was almost tempted to keep this for myself. Haha. 

I only have one polish from the Swiss collection, which is Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous, and that one certainly looks marvelous (what?). I hear the Swiss collection was a hit though, or did I hear wrongly? They're pretty for me but not pretty enough for me to go out and buy them.

Wish me luck for my probably-happening test on Wednesday! (:

China Glaze Below Deck

I couldn't blog all week because I was busy studying for a test that ended up being postponed. I should be happy, except that I spent all week studying. Now I have to study again. ):

As you may (or not) have known, I won the second prize in Michelle's birthday giveaway. I won two nail polish rings! Nail polish. IOn a ring! I mean, I knew they existed but I didn't think I'd own any in the near future. I do love rings but can never find any that I like when my wallet permits it. Thank you so much for this, Michelle! <3

I don't know if you are sick of seeing the China Glaze Anchors Away collection yet but I'm not!

Below Deck is so pretty. I think it's kind of chic. It's probably the most 'chic' color I have. I couldn't stop staring at it. I probably look like a nut staring at my nails all the time but I just can't help it. This color makes me feel happy. (:

I did 2 coats with top coat. It looks a bit scratched up because I didn't take photos immediately after I finished. And I think I broke a corner off the nail on my right index finger.

Under my desk lamp.

And just for fun, a picture with a strawberry I bit. I like fresh strawberries (:

The smell of strawberry milk and ice cream makes me wanna barf. I only like them fresh and occassionally as flavors of certain foods.

I really wanna keep my nails a bit longer but they keep peeling and breaking. I like the length it is at now (longer than in these pictures) but I'm guessing that I'm not going to be very pleased with what I see when I remove what I have on now. Why can't I have naturally healthy nails? ):

Color Club Worth The Risque

I just looked at my notebook to decide which color to post today and realised I am SO far behind! I guess it's good to have stuff that I can post ready, in case for some reason I don't have new manis. But at the same time it's hard deciding which one goes out first!

I've been feeling weird lately. I've lost my appetite, which I want to get back because I love to eat. My mind wants me to eat but my body doesn't. I keep imagining myself eating, but I still don't feel like eating. The only things I've eaten all day (It's almost 12am and I woke up at 8am) are some fried noodles, Snyders Cheddar Cheese Pretzel Pieces, some small bite-sized crackers with peanut butter and condensed milk, a bit of rice with a bit of fish and vegetables, soup, and some ice cream.

It looks like a long list but when you think about it, it wasn't substantial at all, considering I usually eat 3 meals a day with snacks in between if I get hungry.

Anyway, I wore this many weeks ago. I'm pretty sure it's not the holo version and is probably one of the duds because Lextard's swatch seems to be a billion times more holo. WHY, Color Club? Why do you even sell these duds? I have probably four of your duds. I demand an explanation and new non-dud versions!! I am so disappointed in this because.. Well you know why! >:(

Anyway I think I did 2 coats. Or 3. It's hard to remember. The formula was pretty good. Minimal clean-up. I've seen holos with worse formulas. But then again, those holos were.. HOLO. =.=' 

With base coat, no top coat. If I'm not mistaken, these were all taken under my desk lamp. I think I was unsatisfied with the sun photos. All photos are enlargeable, just click (:

This one was taken in daylight, in the shade.

Argh. You call this a holo, Color Club? I call this a ho-lotta FAIL. I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets frustrated when companies make new batches of polishes and they are completely different from the original. Especially when the new one is worse!

But I enjoyed having this on nonetheless. I am just really disappointed because I expected some better quality stuff.

I hope you had a good.. *whispers* Friday and Saturday. Can you believe I still haven't listened to that song? Frankly, I'm afraid to.

Swap with Kellie Gonzo

I finally finished my Chemistry test. After an entire week (actually just about 4 days) of hardcore studying and listening to the same playlist (which is my Study playlist and has only instrumental songs like soundtracks etc.) daily, I can confidently say..

I am probably going to fail that test. I am probably going to fail so hard, they'll put my paper in the dictionary next to the word "fail" as a definition.

On the bright side, I have a whole bunch of stuff that is impossible to get here. All thanks to Kellie (whose blog is awesome by the way, I'm sure you've seen it) who kindly agreed to do a swap with me. I know I've said it before, but thank you so so so so (times infinity) much! <3

This was my first ever swap and it could not have been better (:

Also, my watermark has become increasingly obnoxious-looking to me, even though I haven't changed it since I made it. :/

Lippmann Wicked Game
Revlon Perplex
OPI You're A Doll
China Glaze Fortune Teller
Nina Ultra Pro In A Tiff

I've worn a couple of them already (too excited :P ) and am wearing the OPI now. I have a little formal-ish school related activity tomorrow so it's quite appropriate.

I would post pictures of what I sent her, but only after she's received it. I like giving surprises. Haha. I doubt mine can top hers, but.. hopefully she will like it (:

I love each and every single one of these polishes to death. I'll be holding on to them on my deathbed. They must be buried with me so that no one else can every own/use them. *serious face*
