Scofflaw Cloud Cuckoo Land and Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

Hey guys! Yet another week has passed and this week, I have two Scofflaw polishes to show you. I got these quite a while back from Shoppe Eclecticco (now known as Rainbow Connection) and I swatched them quite a while back but only got to the editing recently.


This first one is three thin coats of Cloud Cuckoo Land with a coat of Seche Vite over. I wasn't expecting Cloud Cuckoo Land to be much more creme than jelly because I've seen/read some swatches and description in which this baby had such a gorgeous jelly base. 


Cloud Cuckoo Land kind of reminds me of Femme Fatale Cosmetics Sparkleshell, except without the periwinkle glitter and a whiter base. 
This next one is three coats of Whiskey Tango Foxtrot with a coat of Seche Vite over. It had such a wonderful formula. This one had the jelly consistentcy I was hoping for with Cloud Cuckoo Land.  

And by the way, did you notice what Scofflaw just did there? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? HAHA! Good one there! ;)
Hope you all have a good weekend!

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!

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!
