For those who don't know I LOVE nail polish, nail stickers, nail diamante's ... anything you can paint on or stick/glue onto my nails I covet. I have drawers full of the stuff ..... but I just cannot help myself when I see something new.
I MUST HAVE IT!!
I recently returned from a ten-day holiday in Singapore and boy was I in heaven over there - the make up and nail items I could (and did) buy was enormous!. I seriously had a crazy time.
Today I am showing off a few of my nail purchases. I have been flat out with work since my return so as yet have not had any time for 'play'. But I intend to very soon!.
Above right is a collection from the Etude House range. I love this brand (I also managed to get some make up and skin care goodies too - in a post to come).
I love the '3 Step Nails' sets. These sets create gradient nails in gorgeous colours. I managed to get them for 2 for $S12 - plus the lovely lady popped in the cute tissues as a freebie. That was another thing I loved about Singapore makeup/skincare shopping if you bought a product they always through in freebies (in a post to come I have a photo of the HUGE haul of freebies I got from one shop!). And of course I love a freebie - so I was in heaven!
As you can see from the pic I also got two other polishes - both are glittery over-lay colours. Which will look great brushed over coloured polishes. My mum even decided to get some too!.
Upside down again...gee I just can't get it right.
Anyways I simply LOVE Ciate and am slowly building up a lovely collection. So when I saw the Limited Edition Colourful Manicure I just could not help myself. I already had the other one in this collection, so I thought why not make it both!
Unfortunately my daughter's dog somehow got hold of it an demolished the box a few days ago (nearly dead dog!). Luckily it was just the box that was ruined (so dog still alive)
Off the top of my head I cannot remember the names of the two nail polishes - but they are just divine....a gorgeous glittery purple (my fav colour) and a fabulous golden orange....mmmm they are simply delicious!
While in the Face Shop I spied this Check Check nail kit. Three colours which to can overlay to created a checkered effect...marvelous!, can't wait to try these out.
I loved the Face Shop it many wonderful products and all reasonably priced too. While there I also bought these Gradation Nail Arts sets.
You may have noticed I love gradient nail kits - I think at last count I have about 15 of them.
As soon as I saw the purple kit I fell in love and simply had to add it to my basket. Luckily for me they were on sail, if I remember rightly I managed to get each set for $S6 each.
On my last day I managed to find an Etude Store which had this range - all other store were sold out and I was getting a bit panicky as I thought I would have to go home empty handed.
The Roses & Flowering Nails kit has two enamels (red and a white) plus lace stickers. They are so sweet, but I think I should have bought two sets!.
I also managed to get two lip tints and the eye shadow kit. A lovely haul.
Walking past a chemist I noticed they has some varieties of KISS nail products I cannot get back home in Perth. I managed to retsain myself and only bought two nail strips and a set of false nails for my daughter. I am really loving the rainbow glittery strips!.
A visit to Sephora had me so overwhelmed I simply walked out the first time without making a single purchase. OMG! what a shop!. Just row upon row of every conceivable beauty product ... it was system over load.
I must admit the shop was simply too much and unfortunately I didn't buy very much. Plus a number of items I desperately wanted (i.s. the Smashbox Nude Palettes which I already have but wanted to buy for my daughter, and a lot of the Urban Decay sets) were sold out - very disappointed there. I ended up going to three Sephora stores and all were unavailable.
However all was not lost. I did buy the Nails Inc. Bling It On set (once again sorry bout the pics). I was excited about this purchase as I have had this on my wish list for a while.
So all up I feel my nail adventure was a HUGE success I managed to get quite a number of products and simply cannot wait to try them all out.
Onvce marking is over and I have my holidays I'm going to spend some time experimenting with my goodies (and dream of other 'yet to be' purchased items)
Oh my god droooool! Fantastic haul, enjoy all those nail goodies!!
