Happy Hands Lady Goodman and The Worst Is Over

I'm still in a purple polish phase so these two Happy Hands polish which I got from Mei Mei's Signatures were no brainers.

This first one I have here is Lady Goodman, a lilac based shade with pink, purple, holographic and golden glitters. I particularly love the purple square glitters!



This is three thin coats of Lady Goodman with a thin coat of clear polish to smooth things out.



Lady Goodman is a very sweet polish and it's extremely wearable. It's girly but with some edge!



Here's a close up bottle shot. You can see the holo glitters better here.



The next polish I have is The Worst Is Over, a lavender based shade with orange, pink, purple and blue glitters. This one is not a sweet as Lady Goodman and I really like the contrasting orange glitters. They stand out so much and give the polish a burst of colour!



This is three thin coat with a thin coat of clear polish over. I don't think the clear polish helped in smoothening the glitters but I'm sure any regular topcoat will do the trick.





Here's a bottle shot so you can see all the glitters better!


Hope you enjoyed this quick post!

A Good Girl Haul

Hello there! I've been trying to document my hauls here to keep track of my purchases and normally I'd feel so guilty but I feel like such a good girl this time round. :) I bought 10 bottles in May and only 2 in July. TWO. AHHHHHH, I feel like an addict kicking her dirty habbit, except I'm not sure if I want to kick this polish addiction!

Starting off with a bang, I bought a tin of Burt's Bees Lemon BUtter Cuticle Cream. To clarify, I did not break up with Lush Lemony Flutter. I just wanted to try something new. I do love the citrus scent of Burt's Bee. Somehow my Lemony Flutter has changed its smell and it's extremely soft and not flakey like those I've been on other blogs. I think it's because of how hot and humid Singapore is. Which is why I love how refreshing Burt's Bees was! The smell was sharp (I LOVE citrusy scents so this one is a big plus for me) and it wasn't too oily. I'm now alternating between the two, using Lush when my cuticles need that extra love.



I couldn't resist the charm of the Essie Resort collection. Can you blame me?  The formula was great and the colour payoff was amazing!



These next four were my recent purchases from Mei Mei's Signatures. It's pretty obvious I'm on a purple trajectory huh? This is Girly Bits Twitterpated, Black Cat Lacquer Tetris (a square shaped multicoloured glitter topper which I am in love with), Happy Hands Lady Goodman and The Worst is Over.



Meimei was also kind enough to send me a couple of polishes to review and I really enjoyed them! You can read the review here. I really liked how I wouldn't ordinarily buy these shades but they turned out pretty dope.



This is Scofflaw Cuckoo Cloud Land (a phrase from Radiohead's Like Spinning Plates) and Whiskey Tango Foxtrot which I purchased form Shoppe Eclecticco. I absolutely love these two, not just for their names but for their beauty as well!



I also got Emily de Molly Land of Confusion and Oceanic Forces, Femme Fatale Cosmetics Nightsong Grotto and Cloudburst from Shoppe Eclecticco. Couldn't resist these four beauties either and these Australian indies always sell like hotcakes on Annette's shop so I had to ninja them before I regretted not getting them!  



Well, that's the end of this humble haul post. I'm pretty happy to be over a month "clean" now, because it not only means more money in the bank but also more swatches to come. I'm trying to slowly swatch my way through my indie collection and hopefully this low buy will continue on so I can get through the stash faster!

Till next time!
