NOTW: 001


Black nail polish is a must-have polish in my nail kit purely because it looks sexy and mysterious. I know some people might think it’s too gothic but it really isn’t. I like to wear it with short nails or medium length just because it suits more. I started getting into black nail polishes when I saw my favourite girl from THE PCD: TSFTND Melissa Reyes wore this and ever since then I’ve been hooked.

Eyeko Nail Polishes

Eyeko was kind enough to send me these nail polishes more than a month or two ago. I think it’s about time I talk about these on my blog since I love nail polishes and nail art and maybe talking about these products would motivate me to do my nails in the next few days.

So the first polish in the picture is Vampira, it’s basically black with fine red glitters which is really nice as it’s not just plain black. I love black nail polishes. Personally, I think it’s a sexy colour to wear on the nails. For me, when it comes to black base nail polishes I like to wear them with short nails just cos they look much nicer. I had to apply two coats of the polish because the first coat was just too sheer and I could still see my nails underneath. It dries fast but not a glossy finish because of the fine glitters but that can be resolved with a top coat.

Next is Saucy, it’s a bright red polish. Perfect for those that likes to wear bold and seductive colours. I personally don’t like wearing red polishes. I had applied it with just one coat and as you can see in the picture one coat is already enough to cover the whole nails and apply evenly.

Coral, is a polish that is perfect for summer especially when you’re going to the beach. It screams “fun”. It looks even more nice if you got a tan.

Rain is one of my two fave polishes from Eyeko. I love this colour. I’ve been finding myself wearing this all the time. I like how it looks on my nails. It’s like a pale blue colour but with grey undertones. Weird description but that’s how I see it. I feel like it’s a great colour to wear all year round.

Posh is a nice pale brown colour that looks sophisticated and this is one of my faves too. I like how I can wear this polish with any outfit that I wear.

  • Overall, the polishes from Eyeko are of nice quality for an inexpensive price.
  • They apply evenly with just one coat except for the Vampira polish which I had to apply two coats but even that wasn’t enough.
  • The smell of the polish isn’t as strong as some of the other brands which is good.
  • The packaging is cute.
  • It dries up really quickly especially since one coat of polish is already enough.
  • It stays on for about 5 days to a week on me until it starts to chip.
  • There isn’t a wide range of colours available. I hope they’d expand their nail polish range and add more colours.

oops. i forgot.

Some of my nail designs

Late last year, I’ve started getting into nail art. And have done a few designs myself. Saves me money from going into nail salons and having a grumpy nail technician (dunno what they’re called) doing your nails.

I don’t always get to paint my nails cos of placements but when I do I try to make it look nice than just having a block of nail polish on my nails.

So here’s a few designs that I’ve done in the last couple of months. Excuse my ‘crusty’ hands.

I know, it looks crap :)

just a random one

(Really ugly nails and design … I know!)
This is what my nails actually look like right now. I use Barry M’s Grey nail polish and I must say I love it. The staying power is really good too. Usually cheap nail polishes don’t last long on me. It usually chips after 3 days but I’ve had it for a week in the picture and right now it’s nearly two weeks (although it’s starting to chip but not as bad as the ELF nail polishes).

(They had an offer on the brushes. It was just £1 per brush. I couldn’t resist.)
I love love love ELF’s eyeshadow and blending brushes. I bought ten the other day.
I’m addicted to makeup brushes by the way.

And this is what I’ve been spending my money on these days – Scrapbook materials. I’ve been buying scrapbook materials since 2006 but I HAVE NEVER EVER STARTED ONE yet. Haha. I keep putting it off cos I don’t have time and I lack enthusiasm and creativity most days. BUT I’m definitely starting one soon.

(Thinking of buying more papers. Ahh! So addicting!)


(I need more embellishments. This is not enough!)

I’m thinking of making a private blog. I just think I need to separate my personal life and this beauty blog. I’ve noticed that a lot of people that I know knows about my YouTube channel and it’s kinda weird because I kept it a secret yet they still found out about it. Gahh! But what do you girls think?
