More Crack..... - China Glaze Crackle Set

Hi beauties! ;) Hope you are all had a good tuesday.
I know almost everybody here have this already and I am late. ;(
Please do hear my story below. :)
i love safe packagings ;)

This box was waiting for me at work today. I am very excited to see the set of China Glaze Crackle Polish hubby ordered for me from Amazon last saturday morning. I did a melodrama on how this trend almost passed me because I am so concentrated on building my freelance kit that I stopped buying nail polish and that I am being left-out and so on. It works! Try it. Lol.

Here's what I got:

Top Row: Crushed Candy, Fault Line, Broken Hearted
Bottom Row: Lightning Bolt, Cracked Concrete, Black Mesh

I cannot wait to test them out. My friend Roxy handed these to me and suggested I take my current polish off immediately and put all of these on, like NOW.  I love that girlie dork. LOL
(Roxy, yes that's you.. YOU are mentioned here).

China Glaze have another collection of crackle 
named Crackle Metals... oohh love that metallic finish. 
 
Is husband getting a hint? I hope so.

Gotta Love Paint

Hellooo! :) Hope all is doing well with all of you guys... the week seems draggin' for me since I am looking forward to the weekend shoot with some newlyfound friends. :D 
Let me see how my week will roll.

can you see how safe it travelled?

Last Saturday came a box from Milani Cosmetics. It's the July Limited Edition Paint Eyeshadow Palette. I have been looking for this for about weeks until Milani saw my cry on their FB page. LOL.

Here in the run-down:

Product: Paint Eyeshadow Palette
Net Wt. : 0.35 oz / 9.92g
Price: USD 7.99
Product Description: Super-soft, silk like eyeshadow in fashion forward neon colors.

top row: swatches with no base; bottom row: swatches with base (NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk)
 This palette have a matte finish. Colors pop more when used with a base, or you may use it without if you prefer. I used NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk. 

Can we say Pigmented? Yes.
Can we say NEON? Yes.
Chalky? Some, and tolerably. (yellow/orange/white.. cmon people, it's MATTE)
Super-soft? Yes.

If ever you cannot get hold of this product, you may wanna try it's older sister Milani Runway Eyes in 10 Haute Couture palette, almost the same colors but this one's finish is shimmery and can be used wet or dry. Check it out here.

 
I can say I am lucky enough to know and get acquainted with the company's great PR Samantha & with the Product Development Manager Ericka. They were the ones who introduced me to the brand last year and since then I'm hooked. So let me pass this on to you and I know you'll be hooked too!

A FOTD soon? Yeah boy! :)

NOTW: Shattered B&W

Heya Dolls, it's nail time! :) I have a routine of doing my nails on one of my days off. I only tend to do it some other day if I have work (which is unlikely on a Sunday) or a make-up gig or photoshoot (which is most likely). Anyhoo, here is what i will be rockin this week:

So simple but makes statement, eh?
White base color reminds me of "SnowFake" of the 90s,  a liquid type white-out.

Here's what is used:
KleanColor in White, OPI Shatter in Black Shatter, Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Topcoat 
and ELF Nourishing Cuticle Pen.

I used to do a lot of nail art, from konads to freehand nail painting to even doing my own acrylics.
I wish to fall in love again with nail art soon. ;)

What's on your nails today?
