Another (Relatively) Good Girl Haul

I got HARE Polish Star Tropics and Leap Light Year, as well as Polish Revolution Eleganza from Shoppe Ecleticco (now Rainbow Connection). I must tell you, I got the news about the HARE Polish launch during lunch and let me just say that carting out nail polish while trying to maintain a lunch conversation with your colleagues isn't as easy as you think!  


I was a really good girl in August and September and I didn't buy any polish at all. This is probably my longest no buy ever. It may have been my polish mojo disappearing, coupled with work taking over my life. It all ended just last week when Mei Mei's Signatures launched the new Glam Polish Fun and Games Collections. I just had to get Twister and along the way, I added a couple of beauties into my cart and then this happened!  


As you can see from the bottom row, I'm currently in a neon phase. Yes, I'm so epically late to the party but I don't think the phase will continue. I think I have enough neon babies for the mo'.

Hopefully my good girl pattern will continue on! Have a great weekend!

I bought my Hares from Llarowe and Shoppe Eclecticco. Shoppe Eclecticco is closing soon as Annette is moving to the UK but she has started a new shop, Rainbow Connection UK, which she will operate from there. Her new shop isn't open yet but I've provided you guys with the link to the facebook page. Go like it so you can get updates of all the latest launches! 
What do you guys think about bottle spam posts? Do you want more of such posts? I had a fun time cropping the images in circles and the close up shots are making me so happy! Till next time!

National Day Mani

Happy National Day to my peeps in Singapore!

This year's nail art idea came from my colleague. We were talking during lunch and she suggested painting the Merlion so I found the eaisest Merlion outline and viola!


After last year's national flag with the crazy small stars, this year I decided to go simple with a glitter polish. I'm wearing one coat of HARE polish Leap Light Year painted over a base of OPI Vodka and Caviar. It's the perfect patriotic red shade!


Here's a close up bottle shot of Leap Light Year.



On my thumb, I'm wearing two coats of piCture pOlish White Wedding  and I used a red nail art polish from Daiso.


Hope you're having a great long weekend! :)

Teal Indie Spam

Teal has always been one of my favourite polish colours. It was the colour that led me into this spiralling addiction so naturally when the indie trend came along, I couldn't resist snapping up all these teal beauties.



Here they are with their names.



Forgive me as I forgot to include Scofflaw Whiskey Tango Foxtrot in the group shot so it got its own individual shot.



Now for their close up shots! Before we proceed, I just want to lt you know that when I first started swatching my indies on swatch sticks, I initially painted the polish on the top side but after some rather unpleasant experience with the polish drying matte, I have now switched to painting the polish on the under side so if you see some of the close ups being grittier than the others, please don't freak out. I have marked the ones painted on the top side with a star behind its name so you'll know. 

This first one is Scofflaw Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Do you see it? HAHA, I absolutely LOVE the name. I like that it has a combination of both sqare and hex glitters. 



This next one is Hare Polish Bisbee. I first came across Hare Polish on tumblr, and I loved her creations from the get go. My bottle of Bisbee does have some tiny problems of taco glitter, perhaps due to the size of the large hexes, even though it's gone through the new formulation. Even so, I'm still very much in love with this baby.



This is Femme Fatale Consmetics Winter Hyacinth*. I have previously swatched Winter Hyacinth in a #SGSwatchFest post and there is no denying my feelings for this one. The white diamonds were such a breath of fresh air in a sea of indie glitters.



Alanna Renee Tranquil is everything its name suggests. It makes me feel so peaceful. Perhaps it's the colour combination of non colour-clashing glitters, nothing hugely contrasting. It's all just a picture of calm.



Similar to Tranqui, Emily de Molly Serenity also paints a picture of calm and peacefulness. This one is a little bit more lively with the copper glitters but still just as pretty.



Emily de Molly A Certain Shade of Green is amazing. It's very much a jelly with pale green, lilac and silver hexes. I like that the glitter isn't too dense, which give the polish a more minimalistic look.



Emily de Molly The Fifth Element* was one of the first few EdMs that first caught my eye. The red glitter makes this polish stand out. The only thing I would change about this polish would be to make it more jelly so the other glitters can shine through more.



This last one is Emily de Molly Majestic Flight*. The colour scheme reminds me of a peacock so the choice of name is seemingly apt. It's the darkest of the bunch but is still a beauty, no less.



I think I can probably do a pastel purple indie spam post soon too, looking at how I've been so inclined towards them. Till next time!

Four Month's Worth of Hauls

My nails and cuticles are in no shape to meet anyone so I'm going to share my recent hauls with you while I try to get them back in order. This seems pretty little for four months but that's what happen when work takes over! :(

As always, I'm starting with the indies. Every time I think I've gotten enough, more just seem to spring out and I can never resist them!



Loving the KBShimmer Spring polishes I got! I swatched them here. As for Bank Geek and Bejeweled, they will have to wait!



This next brand is becoming one of my favourite indie brands. I started taking notice of Hare Polish on tumblr quite a while back and I fell in love with the first few olours ever made - A Positive and Bisbee and I am so glad the brand is more accessible now! I'm still eyeing a couple of the older shades like Archipalego and Tropic of Cancer so I'm sitting tight and hoping they get re-released!





Now for the Australian indies...I swear everytime I see new pictures of the new creations made, my heart flutters and my wallet cries.



HOLO HOLO HOLO! Thee new holo shades from Emily de Molly are stunning!



These are the last of my Lynnderella haul (for now). I've got to start saving for my next haul because damn, they're expensive.



Moving on to the more mainstream brands, I got a friend to CP Lady Sings The Blues for me from BeautyAsia and I bought Ray of Light from the lovely Annette of Shoppe Eclecticco when she did some unearthing and found a spare bottle in her stash.



Here are the China Glazes I purchase recently. Ever since the indie craze, I haven't really bought much mainstream brands but these few still managed to capture my attention. I also got the three Zoyas from BeautyAsia.



Yes yes, I hauled the entires China Glaze Hologlam collection. I had to. I am a holo hoarder so this was such a no brainer. Swatches of the collection as well as comparisons can be found here and here.



I also couldn't resist the Color Club Halo Hues 2013. Seeing how amazing the 2012 ones were, I had to get the six new shades to complete the Halo Hues family!



That's it for my haul! I guess working does not have its perks for my wallet! :)
