#SGSwatchFest: World Water Day and Earth Hour

Hello my dear polish lovers! Earth Hour is tonight and in celebration of this special event, together with World Water Day (which was yesterday), I thought I'd do a special mani!

My mani was inspired by blues and greens - the beautiful colours of our Earth. From left to right: China Glaze Meteor Shower, Nfu Oh #40 over black, Gloss 'n Sparkle Edge of the World and a saran wrap nail with OPI Mermaid Tears topped off with NOPI Khloe Had a Little Lam Lam.







Time for some close ups!

This is two coats of China Glaze Meteor Shower. I think that it's important for us to just enjoy the simple things in life like watching the night sky and I'm hoping that during the hour when the lights get turned off, maybe we can all just look up to the sky and appreciate the beautiful stars.



This is one coat of Nfu Oh #40 over black. #40 is a colour shifting flakie which shits from green to cyan to blue and it just reminds me of the ocean.



This is three coats of Glass 'n Sparkle Edge of the World. It's a pretty teal jelly with blue and green hex glitters, together with some finer holo glitters. Very suitable for Earth Day eh? :)



This is a saran wrap done with OPI Mermaid Tears topped with NOPI Khloe Had a Little Lam Lam. I loved the saran wrap mani with the sepia tones and I wanted to do it again with more water / ocean-inspired colours.



If you have some time to spare, do take a look at the UN World Water and Earth Hour websites! Till next time! :)

#SGSwatchFest: St Patrick's Day

HAPPY ST PATTY'S DAY TO ALL MY READERS WHO ARE CELEBRATING THIS HOLIDAY!

According to Wikipedia, St. Patrick's Day is named after St. Patrick, one of the most commonly known patron saint of Ireland. It is a religious and cultural holiday that generally involves festivals and the wearing of green.

So without any further ado, here's my St Patty's Day mani featuring the gorgeous Gloss 'n Sparkle Goblins Grave.



I didn't want to do a typical shamrock green mani so I chose Goblins Grave, a beautiful midnight green jelly polish with teal and green holo and black hex glitters. It's definitely looks much prettier than it sounds!





I'm generally not a fan og holo hex glitters (at the moment) but the colour combi of Goblin's Grave was done so perfectly that I do love this polish very much! This wass three thin coats. The polish applied nicely and had a pretty quick drying time.



Absolute love!
