[NAIL] American French

We all familiar with French Manicure, easy, any pink nail polish as base coat then white nail polish as over the nail tips. But American French Manicure is almost the same except for the tips. For American French you can use any colour of nail polish for the nail tip.

This time, I will use gold nail polish for the tips. Too boring right, how about a little 3D flower? Before put on the top coat use white acrylic powder to create the simple 3D flower. I am still new to acrylic powder, looking forward for better work in the future mean need to have more practices

Stuff I used:

• NailTek Nail Strengthener (Base Coat)
• Essie Nail Polish in 546 (Room With A View)
• Anna Sui Nail Art Color in 083 (Gold)
• Essie Super Duper Top Coat
• Nubar Acrylic Powder
• Nubar Monomer
• Sculpture Brush

I will use this design for Plusizekitten Nail Art Contest.

Love,

Joey

Short Curly Hair

Ohh...finally its holiday! A long weekend, I have been waiting for a rest after a busy month. The first thing I did after work is going to salon and gets my hair stylist - John to cut my hair. I need a hair cut a least once every month but this time it was almost two months so my hair style had run out of shape. No way to compromise with messy hair!!! "I need a haircut!" this is what hubby heard for the past one week.

As usual remain short hair although every time John will ask me "Do you want to keep it long?" he knows my answer "No". But this time we did some experiment thing, I asked them how about short curly hair. They said why not so we give a try, John did a little trim and perm my hair.

Tadaa!

I not use to this short curly hair style at the beginning but hubby told me I will get use to it.

Tell you something what we did is actually curl my hair using thong, not a permanent perm, I need to see how I look if I perm my hair. I like it but I think I can't maintain it if is a permanent perm, so I decided to get a thong and DIY at home. Beauty Fair coming soon so I will get one from there!

I have been thinking to get this kind of short curly hair style. It is a hit in Taiwan and Korea. Arhh...forget about it until I have a longer hair

Nail is my precious with Essie Loves Diamonds

All girls have they own precious, for me one of my precious is my hubby and lil Jo. Next precious will be my nails. Yupe, I my nail them like jewel and I did not use it as tool to scratch stuff. If my nail break, I will be sad because it look in-perfect for me. Then come to diamond! Why I like diamond because it is the only stone which BLING! Most of us (I mean women) like diamond, but with the expensive price I am not affordable to collect diamond jewellery, I been working hard to save money for that, hope in the future I can buy a one carat diamond ring to myself.

But now I can treat my nail as jewellery by put on Essie latest limited edition nail polish – Essie Heart Diamonds by Judith Ripka collection of three nail colours infused with genuine diamond dust. Essie is one of the leading professional nail polish brand and this time Essie has been inspired by jewellery designer – Judith Ripka to come out this collection for all of the girls to own their precious. There are three new shades in this collection, 'Put a Ripka Ring on It' (soft pink), 'Heart My JR Jewels' (deep burgundy) and 'Queen of Heart' (true red).

There is more exited news! Three selected bottles will contain a precious stone. One will have a diamond, one a sapphire and one an emerald. What's not too love about buying a bottle of nail polish that might have a diamond, sapphire or emerald in it! I already got mine but too bad I not lucky enough so I will get another two bottles. Wish me luck!

So now let you all have look on the shade of Heart My JR Jewels. Nice deep burgundy.

Now my nails is real precious with!!!

2. White nail polish, shimmer type
3. Gray nail polish, with glitter
4. Black nail polish
5. Top coat

As for my toes, I go for deep blue. At first, I kind of refuse to put on this colour because it is too wild or "samseng" but never try never know, I like this colour.

Clarins Product for this workshop

The friendly instructor

Although Clarins did not prepare their entire product for us to use but the product range using in this workshop is enough to cater all the participant problem/ need from normal, dry and oily skin type.

From this workshop I have discovered the next skincare product in my MUST HAVE list which is their star product – Shaping Facial Lift Wrap. It's a mask to reduce the face area puffiness, smoothes and redefines the features. Why I love it because the product does it job - my face look more refine.

Besides that, I have learned the correct way to do apply moisturizer and serum and you need to put on toner before you apply facial mask.

Let see what we got as door gift.

A 50% Discount for Facial Treatment Voucher

Samples of HydraQuench Cream Mask, HydraQuench Smoothing Gel, Shaping Facial Lift, Joli Rouge (come with a small brush). There are two more gifts to be collected from Clarins Counter.

My feedback for this workshop. Like what it said "Clarins Power to Try Workshop", Clarins really did a good job to let the participant to try out their product. The Clarins beauticians are nice, friendly and never hesitate to answer my question even though I kept buzzing them throughout the workshop.

[Mascara] RMK Separate Curl Mascara

RMK Seperate Curl Mascara

I tried this mascara during a RMK workshop and I was so surprise with the curl and staying power of this mascara, it's called RMK Separate Curl Mascara. The RMK Separate Curl Mascara tube is a silver metal. I like it because it's look classy but I have to clean all the finger prints after I use it because it catch finger prints.

The mascara is wet in form if compare to my others mascara and I noticed that it dries pretty fast once apply so when I apply it I have to make it fast otherwise it will cause clump lash.

The curvy brush

I don't know why, when I am using a new type of mascara I need to find the correct way to apply the mascara to maximize the effect so the same process goes for this mascara because it has a curvy brush. I have not tried any mascara with curvy brush before (what I can recall). At first found it hard to use but now because the brush is kind of hard to reach the tiny lashes at the corner.

As the main attributes of this mascara is to create a separated and curler lashes so if you need a volume lash, you can apply mascara primer to boost up your lash volume.

Overall RMK Separate Curl Mascara does it job – separate and curl you lashes and I am so surprise that the mascara can hold the curl whole day long and the waterproof formula – SUPER GOOD! But again you need to spend a little time to remove it.

Love,

Joey

Cute Accessory – Bow Earrings

I have been busy for the past few days busy with work in the office. That's why I have been disappeared for some time.

Although I have been busy, I will never forget to spend some time with hubby, so we decided to watch G.I Joe on Monday evening at Tropicana Mall. While waiting for the show, what else to do in a mall – window shopping. Yea, I thought so but end up buying something, something I have been looking for a while. I came by a small store, where they selling some Korea made accessories and some of them are design by the owner.

I got myself a pair of BOW earrings! I saw this kind of earring in lots of Japanese magazine. I guess bow is the latest fashion hits right now and some Japanese girls tie a bow hair like Lady Gaga.

Lady Gaga with her bow hair

I don't have long hair to do so and I don't dare to do so too, so instead of bow hair I got myself a bow earrings. Let's see the bow earring I bought.

The owner is a sweet Korean girl and she is nice because she gave me some free gift. She let me choose a pair of low range earring as gift on purchase and a bottle of foundation primer (aka makeup base).

Guess what I choose for the GOP! Another pair of silver bow earrings. I'm going to give this to my lil sis.

Do you like my bow earrings? If you have something similar, do share with me.

Love,

Joey

Carrying Case for My Weapons – Nail Polish and Tools

I have no idea since when I become a nail art fans and starting to collect nail polish and end up all those nail polish and nail art tools placed everywhere in my home. Messy, messy and, messy and I have to spend some time to dig the nail polish when I need to use it. One more issue, I guess my son is interested to nail polish too because he always asked me: "Mummy, I want put colour!" and he will go to get the nail polish and put on his nail and end up with a mess. To solve all this, I have planned to get a makeup case to store all my weapons but I never have time to look for one until last weekend when I decided to take a nail extension lesson which requires me to carry around all my tools so I go look for one from a saloon supply shop at SS2.

Finally I found one to store all my weapons into it!!! Now I can keep all my nail polish and lil Jo cannot touch it anymore! The size is just enough for me to keep all I have right now, and I pretty sure my nail polish collection will be growing. But it should not be a problem I just need something for me to carry around those weapons to attend classes or do a manicure for my friend!

Right now, when I open the case I felt like I am a PRO! Just joking! Although I am still learning but I will do my best to become a PRO manicurist!!! I really hope I can do that.

Let's have a peek. Tadaaa….

I love this case so much.

Love,

Joey
