nail art: glitter glam

It is back to school for me and I'm back from my vacation to Britain as well so my nude aztec nails were all chipped and falling apart. As such, I had to repaint my nails and since I'm still into nude, I decided to do a nude nail art design again. This is a relatively simple nail art to do and should take about half an hour to complete. All you gotta do is paint a base coat of nude colour of your own choice, and wait for the paint to completely dry. You can do the black french tips free hand (like what I did, hence the imperfection) or you could use nail guide stickers or even scotch tape as guides. You have to make sure your polish is completely dry! That means waiting for at least an hour for the polish to set before putting on the tapes. Make sure the tape is stuck firmly from one end to the other on your nail then paint on your black tips and peel off the tape to reveal a perfect french tip! Finally, add gold glitters, concentrating the glitter nearer the base of your nail and spreading out as you reach the tips. I actually redid my nails because I didn't like how my first go went. The gold glitter started clumping because it is quite hard to dispense the glitter. So, try to take note of that and spread out the polish as much as possible or drain your brush before painting on.

Now, I'm wondering if my new Daniel Wellington watch has caught your eye yet ;) I'm totally loving this picture perfect timeless classic that is just so pretty and perfect in every way. I will be blogging more about this in a separate post but for now, if you are interested in getting a watch or anything from their website, use the code "chee15" for 15% off your purchase (until 15 oct only!).

Real vs Fake Adidas Superstar/Stan Smith

I've wanted to do this post for a long time, ever since I started on my crazy collection of Adidas Superstars. I mean, I think I make quite a credible source because at one point, I owned 14 pairs of Superstars and Stan Smiths. I will be migrating my Superstar collection post over to this blog over the coming days so that you can read up on where I got them. I'm not sure if these shoes are still as popular and wanted now because I am sort of out of the loop but if you are looking to get yourself a pair of Superstars or Stan Smiths, these are a few pointers to look out for in identifying if what you are buying is real or fake. Take note that these features are mostly applicable to recent releases only. Old models and Superstar 80s are slightly different. Then again, old models are not sold in stores anymore so if you find brand new pairs elsewhere, you should be cautious. I owned a a few pairs of fake Superstars before I purchased my first original pair from the Adidas

Arctic Fox Hair Dye Review on Dark Unbleached Hair

I've been meaning to try Arctic Fox's hair dyes for a couple of years but never got around to it because I feared it wouldn't show up on dark hair. It's been coming up more and more on Instagram again so I did some research and apparently Purple Rain, Aquamarine and Poseidon do show up on dark hair. So that's what I purchased! These retail for $7.99 (4 fl oz) or $13.99 (8 fl oz) on the Arctic Fox website but I got mine off Amazon . Arctic Fox hair dyes are vegan and cruelty free. They also do not contain harsh chemicals like peroxides, ammonia and PPD. These are semi-permanent and they contain conditioning agents which means you can use these dyes as often as you want to without damaging your hair. Semi-permanent hair dyes only coat your hair so it will fade with each wash. The bottle claims that it can last up to 40 washes. These smell like grape candy so it is such a treat to use them. The instructions to use this is pretty simple. 1. Shampoo and w

Lonely Planet/Atomic Makeup Silky Matte Liquid Lipstick Swatches & Review

Lipstick swatches are one of my favorite things to do so I gathered my Lonely Planet Cosmetics liquid lipsticks and did a swatch and review in my latest YouTube video. Earlier on this year, Lonely Planet Cosmetics announced that they were going to hold their anniversary sale as well as closeout sale because they were going to shift their headquarters to New York and rebrand to Atomic Makeup. So when the sale came around, everything was 50% off. Their liquid lipsticks were typically $15 for 8ml so they were marked down to $7.50 and some of them were even $5. The sale lasted a really long time and I ended up placing 3 separate orders with 24 shades altogether. I think they had a massive range of 35 colors but honestly, their color range isn't very impressive. It is filled with your typical reds, pinks, nudes and browns with a handful of bolder shades. Another thing I noticed when I swatched these is how inaccurate some of the shades have been represented. I remember reading a re
