NOTD: Nails Inc Havana (+ China Glaze White Cap)

As mentioned in a previous post, I said I managed to grab a hold of Nails Inc's Havana ^^

So here's the swatches:

With flash

The colour is really nice, it's a shimmery pink/fudge colour which is nice for day to day wear.

I also applied China Glaze's White Cap over it ~

Just to add extra shimmer to it ^^

Dove + Nails Inc: The Beauty Collection

I'm a bit late with this promotion as I've been considering for a long time whether or not to buy the Nails Inc freebies which came with the Dove promotion ^^

The promotion was to buy 2 Dove products + receive a free Nails Inc polish (worth £11 alone).

But I decided to buy one of the nail polishes available within this promotion nonetheless. I ended up purchasing Havana as Copacabana was a bit too bold for me.

Havana was a colour I wasn't expecting as it looked a lot different compared to the promotion poster. 

I'd say it's a pink/fudge colour with a slight hint of shimmer. Swatches will be up soon!

NOTD: Electric Teal + Shimmer

So I have Sports Day tomorrow + in my house group, I have to wear green (if possible). Green's not really my type of colour which means I have no green items of clothing. The closest I could get to green was nail polish ^^

The polish I used was Nails Inc's Electric Teal. It's not a true green, more of a dark green/teal colour. 

So here it is:

I also decided to add China Glaze's White Cap on top to give it an extra touch ^^

I guess this should be okay! 

Better than nothing I guess ^^

NOTD: Hearts Marble Nail Art

This nail design was inspired by My Simple Little Pleasures nail tutorial. 

I decided to try out this nail art technique as I thought the design looked simple + cute ^^

So here's my final results:

Products used:

- Maybelline New York Nude Rose

- OPI Alpine Snow

I had to practice this technique a couple times before actually doing it on my nails as my first attempt was really bad ^^"

NOTD: Chanel 'Inattendu' + China Glaze 'White Cap'

I've gone back to nude polishes again!

After a while of wearing not wearing nude polishes, I suddenly had the urge to put on a nude coloured polish onto my nails. Out of all the nude's I could have gone for in my nail polish collection, I decided to opt for Chanel's Inattendu polish with a top layer of China Glaze's White Cap ^^

With flash

Inattendu on it's own would be a peachy/nude coloured polish. I decided to add a little touch to it by applying White Cap on top to give a shimmery look ~

HAUL: MISSHA Cosmetics *pic heavy!*

I ordered some Missha BB Cream on eBay couple of weeks ago + it finally came this morning! Missha was first introduced to me by a friend, Christina (check out her blog!). She recommended me buying the BB Boomer which I ended up buying in HK but I stupidly didn't buy any BB cream -_-

So here's the unboxing of my BB cream!

My product came with some freebies + a small letter too!

Such a nice eBay seller, will definitely be purchasing some more products from them in the future!

My BB Cream is carefully wrapped in bubble wrap ^^

Such cute packaging!

A little bow to secure the packaging together ^^

Finally unpackaged, Missha's Perfect Cover BB Cream!

BB Cream in No.21 (Light Beige)

This BB Cream is to lighten the skin tone, heal visible wrinkles + blemishes with excellent skin-cover ability + also to prevent skin aging through effective whitening + anti-wrinkle properties ^^

Has a pump nozzle which will be useful ~

The seller also kindly sent me a pack of Missha freebies containing four testers!

L-R: Missha Super Aqua Refreshing Cleansing Foam, Missha BB Boomer, Missha Signature Real Complete BB Cream (No.23), Missha Signature Real Complete BB Cream (No.21)

I originally thought that this contained a small tube of BB Cream but in actual fact, it only contains cotton pads -_-

Slightly let down but hey, I got freebies + the product I actually ordered! ^^

I'll do a review of this BB Cream soon. 

I purchased the BB Cream from SpicyGoods, a Korean eBay seller with a lot of good reviews! Highly recommended for those wanting to buy Asian cosmetics + products.

SpicyGoods also sells many other brands including Skin Food, Etude House etc for a price cheaper than normal retail prices!

Highly recommended!
