nail art: nude tribal

I bought some nude nail polish from the face shop and tried out a nude base on my nails for the first time. I've seen a bunch of pretty nude nails so I decided to give it a go. It required some getting used to because I've never seen myself with nude nails and they seemed so bare. To add some colour and detail, I decided to do some aztec patterns with black and a hint of turquoise. These are inspired from @gabbysnailart on instagram. I used a nail pen for the black bits and a toothpick to do the turquoise parts. I modified some of the design as well because not everything seemed to fit onto my nails. It shouldn't be hard though, because you can't really go wrong with aztec. Aztec is also really easy to do. They consist mainly of lines and dots. If you have trouble doing triangles, try painting on a thick line (of black) and then use a thin line (of nude) to paint zig zag lines.

Also featured here, is a floral watch from miniinthebox which is a sister company of lightinthebox that previously sponsored me some items. I chose it in brown because the watch face already gives off a very vintage vibe and brown matches with pretty much anything! The strap is pretty loose for my wrist so I might punch more holes on the strap so that it fits better. I've worn it out for my entire trip to the UK and there are no major scratches on the watch crystal. So I'd say that if you are looking for a cheap and fashionable watch, this is a good choice.

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
