Oh Good Golly Gosh..

Hi Dolls.

Hope all of you are doing well.

oh good golly gosh!!!!

 I sure have been neglecting my blog lately.

I apologize.

My days and nights have been swamped with work and school.

Im pooped out!

& If you know anything about me, you would know how easily I get distracted, 

and I procrastinate.

For this reason, I tried to steer far far far away from the blogosphere.

Anyhow, I finally afforded a day of freedom today.

And, of course, I rushed straight to the shops for countless hours of retail therapy.

After much browsing, I only brought home 1 little item.

However, although this item was little, it brought me jumbo amounts of joy.

• OPI Mad As A Hatter Polish

Oh! It was love at first sight. 

♥

I can literally stare at the polish bottle for hours. The polish is soo hypnotizing and glittery.

Personally, I find this polish too overwhelming on all ten of my tips.

Instead, I have been obsessed with painting my all my nails a solid colour

 & glittering 1-2 nails with this polish.

like this...

These photos do not do justice at all!

The polish is a party of green, blue, red, purple and silver glitter.

So fun!

TIPS:

After 3 coats, I had no bald spots.

Since there is so much glitter, the polish clumps quite easy.

To avoid this, apply 1 coat, and let dry before applying the next.

Also, to prevent the polish from chipping, try to keep the application to 3 coats.

This is because, the thicker the coats, or the more you use, the more prone you are to chipping.

In conclusion, I LOVE this polish & I believe YOU will too.

Glitter polish is a MUST NEED in everyone's polish collection.

Aside from my pretty polish, my weekend was very uneventful.

Just work, work and more work... and [with finals soon] much more to come :(

Wish me luck.

Orange You Obsessed ?

Orange you happy?

...I sure am!

The last few days, I have been stressing and slaving over school and work, before my 2 week Olympic break

{wahoooooie!}

Since I felt like I was about to burst some brain, I figured it was healthy and necessary for me to step outside for some fresh air & perhaps purchase a

"pick-me-up".

As I perused the shops near my neighbourhood, I saw a nail polish that immediately caught my attention.

It was bright, it was loud & it was ORANGE!

A wacky colour, I know. But, it tugged at my curiosity.

I had to try the polish!

Just one stroke of orange, and I knew I needed it in my life.

OPI "Don't Be Koi With Me"

{Ha!, I ♥ the name}

Beautiful, Bright orange

No shimmer

Easy application

Non-streaking

Long lasting {hasn't chipped in 4 days}

I would describe the colour as a "koi fish-orange"

{hence, the name}

It certainly has a reddish tinge.

Ah, Yes! Thanks to one my my most favourite blogger friends, Tessa, I realized I was likely attracted to this colour because it bares a striking resemblance to my LOVE, Hermes. Oh, Hermes! 

Although OPI polishes tend to be pricier than other brands, I do feel the quality is worth it.

The polish applies like a dream & leaves a streak-free finish.

I am horrible at painting my own nails.

{colour ends up all over my fingers}

But, using OPI polishes, my result looks purrty & semi-professional. :)

I did not use base or top coat, and the polish has lasted 4 days{& counting}.

The colour is so bright & wacky.

Makes me smile as I work & look down at my fingers.

MORE ORANGE?

Yes!

eep! These mini oranges are super mini!

TOO CUTE!

...om nom nom!

These orange "pick-me-ups" have been brightening my day.

So, my lovelies, what has been brightening your day?

XO,

Jessica Mai
