Gelish, A042 :



Close up without lighting:
Ombre nails has always been so popular but I haven't tried it on myself before. This is my first attempt doing ombre glitter nails though and it turned out pretty well! I basically used a brush and my pinky finger to blend out the harsh lines. I'm really in love with this ombre glitter nails and I'll have the design on for quite awhile just that it will be a different color hehe. I'll make a video on this soon, so be patient guys!

Randomly did my nails without thinking any design/pattern and I realized that it looks like Pokeball from Pokemon (HAHA). Basically what I did was to paint a natural pink color for the base. I used a rose gold thin tape and stick it horizontally in the middle. Finally, glued on a big rhinestone in the middle to finish the look! I'M SUPER IN LOVE WITH THIS! Because it's so simple and pretty!

Illamasqua Nail Varnish, Stagnate :

Illamasqua was having 50% off storewide so I went in to see and fell in love with this color immediately! I have always love taupe and browny colors. This is the perfect taupe AND brown mixture color.
First coat was slightly translucent. But I only applied 2 coats and a little bit more on my nail tip because I was able to see through my nail tip. Favorite color for the time being because it's so pretty!

Base Coat : OPI Original Nail Envy.
Top Coat : OPI Infinite Shine 3, Gloss/Brillant.

Stay Tune, guys!

Items are bought with my own money.

Tools that I used :
Sand Block :
After removing your gelish, your nail will have a rough surface. So I like using a sand block to buff away the roughness and make it smooth.

Nail Buffer (180/240 Grit) :
This is just a really old nail buffer I had. I always use this to buff my gelish so this is what I'm using. Use what you have :)

Cuticle Pusher :
This is used to remove the gelish. Alternatively, you can use an orange stick as well. 

Kabuki Brush (Optional) :
I just used an old brush for this. Just to wipe off the dust on my nails after buffing. You can also just wash your hands or wipe off with remover or something.

1st way | This is super easy to use. All you have to do is just tear open and wrap your finger. This is my favorite way because it's less time consuming and less hassle.

2nd way | Soak the cotton pad WELL and WET. Traditionally, you use an aluminum foil to wrap your nails. But that's not environmental free and it's such a waste to keep throwing away the aluminum foil. So I got these reusable clips that you can keep using and it's environmental free!

3rd way | The traditional way. Using the aluminum foil.

Of course, you'll also need cotton pad and remover for the 2nd and 3rd way.

Once I'm done removing, I like to put OPI Nail Envy to protect and strengthen my nails. I find it very important to put nail oil once you're done. Acetone really dries out your skin and my cuticle is slightly dry whenever I remove my gelish. Nail oil just helps to nourish your cuticle.

And I'm done! I didn't cut my nails because yes, I was lazy and I like having long nails HAHA

Hi guys,

Lancome recently launched a new collection which is the JUICY SHAKER! I love the name of the product and I absolutely love the idea of it. As the name is, juicy shaker, the bottle is really tiny and adorable which you must shake it in order for the color to get on the applicator. I remember how I used to love shaking my water bottle as if I'm mixing some drinks because it was so fun.

Look at how adorable the packaging is!

On top of that, these products smell amazing! You know how some lipgloss has a very strong scent to it and when you put it on your lips, you can smell it for the entire day and think to yourself "this smell is seriously so irritating"? It's like you couldn't stand the scent at all because you kept smelling it? Well, Lancome Juicy Shaker isn't like any of those! Some of them smells like fruits and some of them smells like vanilla. There's one that smells like cinnamon and it's not strong at all. I love how the smell doesn't affect me for the entire day. Even if it does, it's not irritating me at all because the smell is really pleasant.

Info listed on Lancome website:

1L Water : 
The jelly mix actually calls for 1,250ml of water but I like it more "dense" ? Anyway, the end product wasn't hard as well.

Can Of Longan :
I wanted to use fresh longan but I couldn't find any so I used can instead. Works well :)

Fresh & Peeled Lychees :
I managed to find some fresh lychees. So I just peeled, remove the seed and break into smaller pieces.

(Use any fruits of your choice! I just like this two fruits of combination.)

Chia Seeds :
TOTALLY OPTIONAL! I just like to have the crunch of it but actually can't really taste it also LOL

Jelly Mix :
Any jelly mix of your choice. You can use homemade jelly recipe of your own :)

I used a cupcake pan for this because I don't have any moulds for jelly. I ended up using a muffin pan as well. Use any moulds/pan you have. You can also just pour it into a container and wait for it to cool then cut out shapes of jelly.

Start off by boiling your water.

While waiting for my water to boil, I added some water into my chia seeds to let it soften.

And when it comes to a boil,

Gradually add in your jelly mix. You don't want to pour everything because you want it to be well dissolved.

And when you're done adding your jelly mix, let it boil for a little while more. Just to make sure that it's well dissolved.

In the meanwhile, I laid out my lychees and longans in my trays.

(On a side note: I also added some of the longan syrup from the can for some sweetness instead of plain & bland jelly. You can decide whether to add or not.) I also stirred in my chia seeds.

And you can start pouring in! You have to work QUICKLY because it sets pretty fast.

And you're done!!

Oh, you also want to poke the bubbles because you don't want your jelly to have "air pockets".

Let it cool in the fridge for AT LEAST 15 minutes and you're ready to eat it!! Enjoy!! :)

The bigger ones which is using cupcake pan.


These are the smaller ones, from the muffin pan.


This idea actually came from my mum and I was thinking that it's a great idea! So I decided to share it with you guys. I really enjoyed it because it's so refreshing and delicious! I mean, it's so simple! You can't go wrong with jelly mix and fruits. It also looks like you put in a lot of effort for this ;)

I hope you enjoy this post. Let me know if you made this!! I would like to know, show me a photo or whatever! :)

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. (In advance haha)
