Been lacking the energy to do nail art that requires more than a simple paint job. <br/><br/>This came into my life almost 3 months ago so I've only managed to paint my nails when I have help around. <a title='Uploaded from BlogBooster' href='http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ed9zgcJOqMY/TmOrtB3neTI/AAAAAAAADQs/vorouyz_iZ0/BB_Photo.png'><img alt='New born suzette' src='http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ed9zgcJOqMY/TmOrtB3neTI/AAAAAAAADQs/vorouyz_iZ0/BB_Photo.png' style='border:none;'/></a><br/><br/>She now looks like this coming to 11 weeks old. <a title='Uploaded from BlogBooster' href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzcBTbKfLIrGF1F8MTuPuyhF022M2AQ_uC_KRMt-p1uUd22bLFMP26f2dPtec91qaj8dSz2WGHj6czvTJmsxffya3hLCQ59Jwx0weAAv7LQHdDOeI3sCQ5pQYGhHUX2LCUG-ztVnh2AcA/'><img alt='11 weeks.' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzcBTbKfLIrGF1F8MTuPuyhF022M2AQ_uC_KRMt-p1uUd22bLFMP26f2dPtec91qaj8dSz2WGHj6czvTJmsxffya3hLCQ59Jwx0weAAv7LQHdDOeI3sCQ5pQYGhHUX2LCUG-ztVnh2AcA/' style='border:none;'/></a><br/><br/>Blah blah blah, just popped in to say that I spotted a new line of makeup in Korea last week so I grabbed some stuff despite not needing them. I'm kinda still on maternity leave so haven't had the need to prettify myself except for the weekends. <br/><br/>So here I present 'Too cool for School'. <a title='Uploaded from BlogBooster' href='http://lh5.ggpht.com/-2qhm5vSf1hQ/TmOtkxSmEUI/AAAAAAAADQ4/eOJF45tfPgE/BB_Photo.png'><img alt='Too cool for school.' src='http://lh5.ggpht.com/-2qhm5vSf1hQ/TmOtkxSmEUI/AAAAAAAADQ4/eOJF45tfPgE/BB_Photo.png' style='border:none;'/></a><br/><br/>Offhand I can remember the BB mousse n blusher were 20000won. The mascara n the pink beauty blender may be less than 10000won. One boutique was spotted at The famous Myeongdong. I bought my stuff from a fashion street near Sinsa station at Gangnam. I believe this brand is fairly new since I've only spotted these 2 outlets. <br/><br/>Signing off now. I'm still painting my nails so I have not exactly abandoned this hobby. See y'all again.<br/>

Hope the new year brings more energy and inspirations. I'm aiming for a cheongsam/qipao look with this, to bring in some Chinese new year mood.

Photos and blog post all done on the iPhone. Colors are fairly accurate. <br/><br/>Find me on twitter, suzieducks. I may be slightly more alive on that.

PD is nowhere near <a href="http://www.wedgwood.com/GB/Home">Wedgwood</a> blue but i was trying channel the delicate feel of fine china on my nails.<br />
<br />

<br />
PD is a lovely grayed out baby blue(or dusty blue or dusky blue) with subtle glass shimmer. it's also easy to apply but still required 3 coats for true opacity. i'm wearing 2 here since i liked the way the pinks in my nail beds glowed through the polish.<br />
<br />

here i am clutching my favourite daily drink. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakult">Yacult</a>. it's getting sweeter on my palette but since the lady drops by every week i have no heart to send her away without buying any. <br />

i didn't really want to write a post on this since my pictures didn't come out very well. plus i've worn the mani for a week before pictures were taken.<br />
<br />
but i wanted to show you my wall color. eh heh heh heh. <br />

<br />
it's no wonder that i am attracted to this and trekked all the way to the Marina Bay Sands' (with my mother!) Chanel counter to hand over SGD$35 for a bottle of polish. <br />
<br />
a fuzzy but true color rep.<br />

<br />
He stopped by London and got the saddlebag that i requested. it's a little smaller than i had anticipated and i regretted not ordering the diaper bag instead.<br />
<br />

<br />
He also stopped by Paris and i made him go to one of my Favourite finds in Paris. The <a href="http://www.fragonard.com/">Fragonard</a> perfumerie. my list included the <a href="http://www.fragonard.com/parfums_grasse/perfumed-sets/women-s-collection-c-20.htm">"box of 10 mini perfume"</a> as well as both the <a href="http://www.fragonard.com/parfums_grasse/perfumed-sets/for-children-c-19.htm">children's one</a><br />

he only managed to get his hands on the children's set as the other was sold out. :( i'm currently wearing the Little Adventurer's scent and it's invigoratingly citrusy :)<br />

End of "Hauls blogging" for this week. I must start to save up the extras for my trip in December. i will be in Melbourne for training and then some vacationing. Any recommendations makeup and nail polish wise? i'm also looking forward to fleas and craft shops too!suzieduckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02399888497121375266noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567627528837480233.post-47774039379198788632010-10-11T21:26:00.000+08:002010-10-11T21:26:31.919+08:00Goodies in the bag Pt3Things came in the mail last week too! My Nars' 18% <a href="http://cherubslips.livejournal.com/">spree</a> items arrived as well as some polishes from <a href="http://nailvibe.com/">Nailvibe</a>.<br />
<br />
let's talk about the polishes. <br />
<br />
<img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_TNG5c0OeK6U/TLMCNg6WcKI/AAAAAAAADKs/pL4M7hVw3AE/s720/IMG_1590.JPG"width="450px"><br />
<br />
after falling in love with Nars' Midnight Express and realising that there's no way i can get my grubby hands on them i went on a blue polish hunt. i settled for OPI's Dating a Royal; and of course i HAD to buy more than 1, my first Essies another gold for frankening and art.<br />
<br />

<br />
Nars goodies. Luster blush, Hungry Hearts highlight bronzer duos and Barbarella lipstick.<br />
<br />

<br />
i was in a bronzer mood when i ordered these so the colors are in the same tones.<br />
<br />

<br />
here's a better color rep of Luster, which i am liking much more than Orgasm (i'm thinking of having a blog sale for that).<br />
<br />

swatches from top to bottom: Luster blush, HUngry Hearts duo and Barbarella lipstick.<br />

<br />
Hungry hearts is very glittery, which i am not overly fond of, but it does manage to give my cheeks a nice glow. definitely not bronzer material.<br />
<br />
Barbarella is another peachy nude color but it is a bit on the sheer side and thus require more work on darker lips like mine.suzieduckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02399888497121375266noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567627528837480233.post-62801243686897026842010-10-11T21:04:00.001+08:002010-10-11T21:04:57.761+08:00Goodies in the bag Pt2yes, the Takashimaya members extra 10% off.<br />
<br />
the DH and i both got Casio watches at 'special' prices. heehee. both are black and matchy matchy. i'd take a nicer pix but he wore it to another work trip.<br />
<br />
and this is also the first time i've ever gotton make up with the DH in tow. so embaressing! i caved in and bought myself the Lancome Teint Miracel Foundation. You can read all about it on one of my favourite beauty blogs;<a href="http://rougedeluxe.blogspot.com/2010/09/lancome-teint-miracle.html">Rouge Deluxe</a>.<br />
<br />
i've only wore it for 2 days, but both days were sunny, hot and humid and i am glad to say that it's really light and comfortable. it also controlled oil well.suzieduckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02399888497121375266noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567627528837480233.post-82740588753179509522010-10-11T20:49:00.000+08:002010-10-11T20:49:11.553+08:00Goodies in the bag Pt1Another weekend, another round of hitting the malls. <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
of course i've gotto get Bad fairy nail polish. it's an awesome ombre duochrome from yellow/orange to red/magenta. i have a bad for ombre colors in the warm spectram ever since i spied my eyes on the <a href="http://www.purseblog.com/coach/coach-ombre-signature-handbags.html">Coach Ombre Framed Clutch</a>.<br />
<br />
others include Bite of an Apple blush(bright coral), Sweet Joy e/s(for general highlighting use) and Strange Potion lipglass(easy to wear peachy pink nude)<br />
<br />
i got items that appealed to me and items that i know i will use on a daily basis, not just based purely on internet hype. i didn't manage to get my hands on the She who Dares e/s duos despite sitting for 1.5 hours waiting for the store to open. luckily the green swatches similar to my favourite Fyrinnae's Dragonmagic.<br />

i have the same application problem of it drying too quickly and thus causing cuticle drag. i have to work in a breeze free zone. i find the smaller brush harder to use too.suzieduckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02399888497121375266noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567627528837480233.post-34584019288753897992010-10-04T21:27:00.002+08:002010-10-04T21:33:58.151+08:00Huals in the mail<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>Guess what came in the mail just in time to disperse the emo that was mounting on the way home today? 3 packages! <a title='Uploaded from BlogBooster' href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2cGcz-HVTgLcqyS6PCcNyaTRW9v9sdup9ezyJxj-VQUHUNYs4l7mVpw-QVALLtZvS9VlUaFtGtPl_IhJiHvMa1MZ9BOkWjjzHggBLM6m0f3iU-b7yTdwR0gAj17Kizs5rdyo-4Ec_Z9w/'><img alt='' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2cGcz-HVTgLcqyS6PCcNyaTRW9v9sdup9ezyJxj-VQUHUNYs4l7mVpw-QVALLtZvS9VlUaFtGtPl_IhJiHvMa1MZ9BOkWjjzHggBLM6m0f3iU-b7yTdwR0gAj17Kizs5rdyo-4Ec_Z9w/' Width='450px' style='border:none;'/></a><br />

Nothing can make me happier than getting packages in the mail. (I lie. The sight of seeing the DH walk through the arrival gates make me pleased as punch as well.) <br />

I got some dollywink lashes from exclusive lens . A very soft but firm Elf powder brush from Smoochiez for foundation and one OCC lip tar in Grandma from Sophia's spree.<br />

<br />
always wanted to do a leopard spots mani. and finally i got to try it. its as easy as everyone claim it to be. LOL! sometimes you just gotta try it to believe it and not worry about it.<br />
<br />
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP-sUXzRJ3VpEnDd5AJb90MrNuKCYxTUpY-yHOm0oktAGqmC2X1pseiE58sdF1W5xaIWttPhkkvfetvh-brMcFAyTXSgLUAaD3flo50a1wDSFmcK9vIkRcAtgzJ7der2q4zf9mdhWTVJw/s512/IMG_8072.JPG"width="450px"><br />
<br />
my bottle of classic camel had a crack in the neck of the bottle and a wonky brush. so i'm not sure if the thick and gloopy polish was due to evaporation from the crack. plus the weird brush made application a bit of the PITB.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
soon after taking the first set of photoes the bottle broke with a swipe of my kitty's tail. Nail Polish carnage! i emptied out a cheap (but with a good brush!) polish bottle and transfered the remains.<br />
<br />

<br />
i wished the gold glitter were more pronounced or that the base color was a little sheerer for the glitter to show through. overlaying the mani with a gold glitter works too! ;)<br />
<br />

<br />
this is relatively easy to apply as well. however, maybe it's the weather here, it does dry quickly therefore will cause cuticle pull if i were to go over any painted area within 1 coating.<br />
<br />

*Takes deep breath* Yep! that's quite a lot of shopping. I'm planning to go away in december so i'm trying to show restraint in the next month. like that will ever work. hahaha!!!<br />
<br />
p.s. i'm expecting an OCC lip tar, MAC VenomousVillians (fingers crossed for the online availability), Drugstore.com, Kira Kira contacts and dollywink lashes.suzieduckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02399888497121375266noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567627528837480233.post-80097856954097932032010-09-26T21:40:00.000+08:002010-09-26T21:40:00.423+08:00Sinful Color's Let's Meet<img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_TNG5c0OeK6U/TItfgSeaM0I/AAAAAAAADDU/pw85w6wQ-tU/s640/IMG_1518.JPG"width="450px"><br />

<br />
this is a shimmery yellow and i think this is 3 coats. it's relatively easy to apply without terrible streaking.<br />
<br />

<br />
i've also bought a whole lot of crystals in different duochrome colors and i love to use them so expect lots of similar NOTDs from now. <br />
<br />

crystals are very easy to use when your in a design funk but can't seem to wear a 'naked' mani.<br />

this was the only nail polish i got when vacationing in Italy. <br />

i saw it in Coin(departmental/pharmacy/grocery) and it was part of a Peacock feathers collection. So far i couldn't find any information online.<br />
<br />

<br />
it was a beautiful dark blue teal with colorful shimmer in the bottle(probably due to the refraction from the bottle) but the shimmer did not translat so well on the nails. i like to have more pronounced glass shimmer.<br />
<br />

<br />
this color gives me the shivers. good shivers. see the glittery goodness? i'll bet it's look spectacular with a shiny top coat on.<br />
<br />

<br />
i've used plate m57 for this. i've discovered that i can scratch out the Konad stamp on the matte surface. i guess it's a sacrifice i have to make to retain that matte sheen.<br />
<br />
tip wear after a few days. you can see the metallic silver grit that they use to make the polish matte. <br />
<br />
brown acrylic powder for the ribbons and flowers. i have not done this for so long. getting real rusty with the shapes.<br />
<br />

<br />
tip: if you run a remover lightly over this type of matte polish, you can remover the upper colored part and reveal a different look.<br />
<br />
i made the mistake of wearing solid without a basecoat. it stained my nails a crazy yellow! i've never experienced staining this bad ever.suzieduckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02399888497121375266noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567627528837480233.post-79695145829801741942010-09-15T12:22:00.001+08:002010-09-15T12:22:00.231+08:00OPI's who the shrek are you??<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-UuqwgBcPR-mCTZDq5PUbWPWxl5nnbMD6IAWzI0oWbMZ2RCubfNU2ZIUzsjyGHw5MYUsCziqAObAwdsMzesy0LNZRBzRk8kEcwl2yyrId5orJgOYgLFy2tqgBvUq6RS1-3HP8MOQyg3A/s720/IMG_1482.JPG"width="450px"><br />

i'm sure everyone's seen swatches of this awesome chartreuse lime green goodness. i've decided to make it a little more bling bling, and create more glitter dust in the house.<br />
<br />

<br />
this glitter is from Coastal Scents. it's their Fairy Glitter Dust. it's a sample so i'm not sure which collection did it come from. i am very tempted to get mor of these.<br />
<br />

this mani turned out rather nice now that i've seen these pictures. i didn't particular like how the gems turned out cos some of the spangles were pearlised and the colors are not vivid enough. <br />

<br />
unfortunately, i only wore this for 1 day. yup. i did it on sunday (i was ill btw), and i didnt' go to work on monday so i got bored and took it off to do another mani. uh huh. the nail art must go on even in the face of a bladder infection.<br />

while the DH is packing for another trip to Japan, imma put up some yummies he brought back from his last trip. pictured above are the soft and fluffy Camembert cheese cake. there's also some sweets from another of his Munich trips. Hanuka wafers, Hazelnut ballz and gummies. <br />
<br />
don't we all love Japanese confectionary. picture taken straight from the refrigerator. it's been a month and we still have not open these boxes.<br />

(i'm still reliant on seche vite, some things i just won't give up)<br />
<br />
i managed to find a seller on evil bay with reasonable prices and decent shipping. all in all i paid 109SGD for these 10 bottles. not too shabby.<br />
<br />

<br />
i got some chocolates, coral, green and glitter, plus their base coats. so far so good. i'm not fond of the small brush that picks up too little polish at a time.<br />
<br />
i've also made use of the Cherry Cultre 20% back to school sale to haul some polishes that i refuse to pay retail for. i'm a cheapskate.:P<br />
<br />

<br />
actually, together with the shipping i ended up paying a dollor or 2 less than retail. LOL! at least i got to try Sinful Colors.<br />
<br />
i've also gotten addicted to buying crystals. be prepared to see these being used heavily in the next series of NOTDs. <br />
<br />

blings are so easy to use when in a creative funk. plus i like shiny things.<br />

<br />
i'm so excited with this achievment that i just have to quickly blag about it. ;P and plus the fact that i didn't have to spend oodles amount of cash on getting this done.<br />
<br />
i bought an Argentinian football iphone case at a sale. since football season is over these were going for $10 as oppose to $35. the reason i choose this design is because it's easier to prettify (not like the german, or brazilian etc). It's a sweet baby blue shade. <3
i started by buying some deco glue. deco glue is a clear viscous liquid that sets in about 1+ hours, so you still have a chance of making little alignment changes. also the viscous properties mean that the lace will not soak up everything and make sticking it to something impossible.
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ8nFtrDA05rmKxZ0JNLY1v3eUJBKnK6fqTxE0_hrytX3zOqLk_dCo5ugTaNBkToze8g9kGB5idccdTwWIvgWfqUrjzB2QrcYPPKH8Wohyphenhyphen-jVwHQQmi4YNlIQMYm2p1xOVGz2MWm6DDWo/s912/DSCF8054.JPG"width="450px"><br />
<br />
very carefully spread the glue over the lace. i glue down in sections so that i will not creat a sticky mess. deco glue is sticky! remember to avoid the camera hole otherwise you will get shadows.<br />
<br />

<br />
i simply made a bow with matching blue ribbon and use some deco glue to stick it down.<br />
<br />
i've actually worked with the phone in the case because i want to make sure that i have enough clearance for the hinge. otherwise when that glue sets i might not be able to close the case. wait to dry overnight. <br />
<br />

<br />
i got carried away and didn't capture any 'in progress' pics. basically what i did was to place crystals randomly onto the case. (i removed the phone this time) when i'm about satisfied with the placement i glued everything in place with <a href="http://www.diamondglaze.com/">Diamond Glaze</a>. <br />
<br />

<br />
i love this so much i think i want to deco my makeup brushes next. all in all, i spent about 20SGD on the crystals and deco glue plus 10SGD on the case. i already have the lace and ribbons and the diamond glaze in my craft stash.suzieduckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02399888497121375266noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567627528837480233.post-11659770269969971902010-09-11T12:21:00.000+08:002010-09-11T12:21:20.213+08:00opi's black onyx hologram goodness with coastal scents glitter<img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_TNG5c0OeK6U/TIsABNaI2oI/AAAAAAAAC9w/b7kdeg5A-wo/s800/IMG_1456.JPG"width="450px"><br />

in the shade.<br />
<br />
this is achieved simply but putting on 2 coats of black (i've used OPI's black onyx here), dipping my just painted finger into the baggie of glitter and lightly tap to adhere the glitter better, brush off the excess with a paint brush and then finally a coat of seche vite, or 2. <br />
<br />

<br />
i took these pics after wearing these nails for about 4 days so there's plenty of the micro scratches on the top coat already. this is a gripe with seche vite top coat, it scratch easily(then there's the smell and the fact that it thickens too quickly)<br />
