February haul

Helloooo~! After a month of no buy in January I kind of splurged a bit by rewarding myself and purchasing some polish from Transdesign :D. Long story short - I worried myself sick about this package since I had some tracking issues. I even contacted Carina over at GildedNails about the problem and she was such a sweetheart with helping me out and giving me excellent advice <3. Anyway, I finally received my order today so it's really, really awesome all that worrying ended on a happy note.

Enough of my rambles, on to the polishes!

I was really excited about China Glaze's Anchors Away collection but didn't end up buying as many as I thought I would. The Misa polish also garnered heaps of positive reviews so I thought I'd give it a go, especially since I don't have many work appropriate polishes - of which I'll be needing quite a bit this year, eeek! From left to right:
Misa Office polish-tics
China Glaze First mate, Ahoy!, White cap, Below deck, Sunset sail

I also couldn't resist a few bargains here at home too :P. Left to right:
Ulta3 earl grey
Australis Emerald star
Mode Cosmetics Blue steel, Starry night

I can't wait to try out my new China Glazes - they're the ones I was most looking forward to haha. I'm especially eyeing White cap, I've seen bloggers layering it over various polishes and I LOVE the effect it gives :D

I hope you enjoyed my haul post!

Blue steeeeeel!

Hello~^^ Today I have a polish which looked absolutely spectacular in the bottle but was so disappointing on the nail :(.

This is my first Mode Cosmetics polish and I had such high expectations of it colour-wise since it looked so stunning in the bottle. Sadly, the pretty blue shimmer just didn't transfer on to the nail. Shown are two coats of Blue Steel and sealed with a top coat.

See that awesome blue shimmer? Unfortunately you can't see it on the nail.

I seem to be on quite a nail art roll lately (yay!) - I think it's because I want to work my creative juices as much as possible before Uni starts again :( - so do lookout for them in future posts! :D

Thanks for dropping by~
