My Nail Polish Collection

Whee ~ I just reorganize my nail polishes into this shoe organizer thing that I got from Bed, Bath, and Beyond for just $14.99 :)

I really want to get a nail polish rack before, but I figure, this will be a easier and cheaper way to store my nail polishes. With nail polish rack I have to like drill holes on my walls etc etc. In addition, this will be easier to move around. 

Okay... so here's more detailed of the above picture!

On the very top layer I put on all my basics like base coat, top coat, cuticle oils. On the right side I put in all the tools - like nail clipper, konad stamps (which i think does not work really well), and some stickers (easy way to do nail arts)

On the 2nd layer are my glittery top coats, nudes, browns, and high-end reds.

3rd layer are my pinks, corals, hot pinks, and deeper/wine reds

4th layer are my purple, magentas, darker purples, and very dark purples.

5th layer are my greens, aqua or any color that contains both green and blue, blues, and dark blues.

6th layer are my lower-end red, taupe colors, the last 2 columns are white, gray and blacks.

The last layer are my yellows/gold, oranges, and color that looks funky and my lotions!

My favorite nail polish brands are definitely are Deborah Lippmann and Chanel. I feel their polishes are really good quality and easy to apply. They often comes up with really unique colors too :)

I got this nail polish organization idea from Ingrid (missglamorazzi)

Deborah Lippmann | Modern Love

Hello there! This is a fall 2012 collection by Deborah Lippmann. There is another one that came along with this polish. More fun and playful color - Let's go crazy. 

Modern Love is a taupe/pinkish nude. It is very classy and elegant. My co-worker loves it so much that I gave away my first bottle and I have to re-purchase another one ASAP. I have no color like this in my collection (2 -almost-full- drawers)

Just so you know Deborah Lippmann came up with a new labeling font! It's not fake or anything! Below image shown the comparison between the new label (modern love) and the older one (prelude to a kiss).

Finally the image that I am sure you guys have been waiting for: the SWATCH!

There! I am not lying about how pretty and elegant this color is! It is perfect for a nice dinner date, office, presentation, and others... 

I am sorry for my absence! I have been pretty occupied with work and make-up sessions with clients (not complaining). I have been in a special project too! I have designed a few bracelets that is now for sale on my etsy store - Sephene Jewelry. Do visit please! They are handmade by me :) Let me know if you like the jewelry in the comment section please :)

July 4th, 2012 Nail Art

Yay! Happy 4th of July... 

Yay! Happy day off from work hahaha 

The American Flag is the inspiration of my nail art

**this is my first attempt doing nail art, hopefully you guys can understand!!**

We are going to use these beautiful nail polishes from Deborah Lippmann

Lady Sings the Blue - this is a perfect navy blue polish because it already have silver glitters that represents the stars on the flag.

My Funny Valentine - just a normal true red polish.

Like a Virgin - gel-ly white polishes (this is the only white polish that I have), I like the gel-ly texture because it does not look like I am wearing a white-out.

For a simpler version, I just use the blue on the ring finger and red on the rest of the nails. But then, I showed to Wally (my hubby), he innocently said "where is the white?" 

So I dedice to remove red on my index and middle fingers and applied white polish then draw the red stripes. It took quite sometimes to do this! because I am not use to doing nail art, but I am quite happy with the result. What do you think? any tips for doing lines on your nail? I just used a toothpick - to line dots.

Chanel [539 June] + Deborah Lippmann [Diamonds and Pearls]

Happy 1st July!

to end the month of June, I painted my sister's nails with June Polish by Chanel...

Chanel [June] topped with Deborah Lippmann [Diamonds and Pearls]

Deborah Lippmann [ I kissed a girl ]

Hot pink polish for the rainy summer in Seattle.. yes!

Currently I have been using Rehydrating base coat from Deborah Lippmann. It has been saving my super dry nails, I am surprise it actually works! I love my Ridge Filler base coat from Deborah Lippmann as provides a smooth canvas and it keeps the polishes stay longer. But I guess I might have to take a break from it for the time being :.(

I am also using a new top coat Addicted to Speed by Deborah Lippmann - I think the polish dry faster when I use this compared to the On A Clear Day top coat by Deborah Lippmann. 

[I kissed a girl] nail color is one of the five polishes from Run The World. It is smaller (as you can see from the first picture) as compared to the normal Deborah Lippmann polishes, but i think it is a smarter way as you get more colors - and I never really run out of nail polish, they just dried as time goes by.

The polish dry to be not as bright as it is on the bottle. Still a pretty neon pink color :) 

Butter London | Slapper

One of Butter London spring 2012 collection :: slapper ::

This is a mermaid green color. Im so impressed with how one coat turns out to be pretty opaque.

However, after a few days a saw a "discoloration" on my nails, some part (mostly towards the center) of my nails shows yellowish/true-green color - its not that obvious though :) - thank God! because I really do like this color. 

{as usual, I used Deborah Lippmann Ridge Filler base coat and On A Clear Day top coat}

left-to-righ: Deborah Lippmann On the Beach, Deborah Lippmann Mermaid's Dream, Butter London Slapper

I thought Butter Slapper will be a close color to new spring 2012 On the beach by Deborah Lippmann but turned out to be a completely different color. On the Beach is obviously more blue, whereas Slapper is more teal. But if they would marry and have glamourous kid, Mermaid's dream will be it! The bigger glitters are the color of On the Beach and small glitters are the color of Slapper.

Sayang 26th Birthday!

Today is my Sayang 26th birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you! Hehehe 

We went to his parents house yesterday to celebrate

so cute, I love you!

Then, I went to the gym last night! Im so proud! but when I weigh myself in the morning I gained 1 lbs - what a disappointment.. I ate a lot at his parents house though.. because his mom always cook delicious food! So i did elliptical machine for 50 mins. I normally did 30 mins only thats a progress :)

This morning I painted my nail with my new Spring 2012 polish color from Laura Mercier. The color is Cabana - it is a coral color. They have 5 new polish colors. and I love all of them! It is a flat color without sparkle or sheen or glitter. But the finish is like gel-ly finish and the colors are fun!

Some update about the previous nail polish. The polish has minute chipped only on my right hand because we use our right hand more! and its 6 days! but I really have a feeling that I got a good base and top coat. I would recommend to everyone! GO BUY DEBORAH LIPPMANN haha I have not really try other brands though. The only one I have tried is the Revlon.. and I am sure it does not work as good as deborah lippmann, I have tried Orly top coat but after a few use, it become really thick.

Okay that's all Im going to spend his birthday going around. He does not like the LV wallet that I got him, so we have to return it back.. :( 

Some update from Walter's birthday... We ate 3 cakes all together!

the second cake

he's so handsome and skinny here <3

blowing candles on the 3rd cake!

Anyway, HAPPY VALENTINE's DAY!!
