NOUGHT

Eugene brought me out to dinner tdy after my weekly Floorball match... I thought I'd post piks since

• I was wearing slight make up (MAC ppt liner in Prussian, MAC pearlglide in Spare Change, Chanel Glossimer in Bikini Peach, NARS blush in Orgasm),
• I was wearing 2 of my favourite things (vintage tie dye semi crop top and cut off denims)
• my tattoo had kind of healed up (invert it in your mind, it reads "It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves.", sort of like my life philosophy and an attempt at existentialism bolstered by a cosmic reference. For those interested it's actually a quote from Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar) and
• the food was relatively good (we ate at this place called Badoque, the seafood aglio olio was certainly yum).

p/s: stringy hair because I just showered~

GR8 EXPECTATNZ

I rarely do my toez, but I was in need of some therapeutik nail painting today (I think the therapy lies smwhr between the dizzying smell of lacquer and the prospect of creating micro art)... so I give you, inverse french sprkl nailz,

• American Apparel Office
• Essie Van D'Go
• Ettusais multicolour glitter

Argh, I absolutely H8 not meeting expectations (let's not even broach the topic of surpassing for the moment). And worse still, I absolutely h8 not knowing how to go about meeting them. It's like there's this block (mental or otherwise) that I just can't break down. I blame myself.

THY WEEKLY NAIL ART

Forest anchor nailz using;

• American Apparel Hunter
• Chanel 450 Illusion D'or
• Chanel 440 Gold Lame (4th finger)

I've got to werk on my free hand nail art, the anchor is all sorts of hideous. Anw, tried to capture the sparkly brilliance that is Illusion D'or but there's only so much photobooth can do. In reality it is a micro gold glitter wonder with the occasional blast of iridescence. On other things, it is that time of the year where I feel like burying myself in books. Finished Sputnik Sweetheart, Everything is Illuminated is next on the list~

"In the end, like so many beautiful promises in our lives, (it) never came to be."

TODAY

Today,

• I wore my paisley joggers,
• Caught karate kid (which was sooo unexpectedly gd),
• And got a new tattoo :>

LONG TIME

It's been a long time since I went shoppin so I killed it a little lot today. Found the elusive Zara paisley pants, which are inherently silky joggers that can pass off as pajamas, got my japanese nail art magazine plus a new book to read (Sputnik Sweetheart; I mean I'm not rly big on sexual writing but I've been hearing too many gd things about this one), tons of corporate wear (3 shirts of blue/pink variety + 2 pants), and some drugstore lashes from Watsons. I am officially beyondbrokegal87.

JEWEL

Frenchy jewel nailz, using

• Chanel's 440 Gold Lame
• OPI's Yoga-ta Get This Blue
• Swarovskis

Caught the A Team tdy w the guyz, it wasn't half bad I kind of liked it actually. Need to go shopping for corporate wear soon, for those who are semi interested I'm starting work at Barclay's Capital in 2 weeks~I'll rly miss summer. Last 2 weeks to party it up :s

TUMBLR

Ughhh got so wasted last night, damn you champagne!

p/s: I rly like how my photobooth captured miniature northern lights~

GRADIENT

Gradient nailzz, using:

• Chanel 453 Magnolia Rose
• Chanel 517 Mistral
• Some OPI colour that I'm damn bummed out with, because it took forever to dry and smeared all over the place when I was applying the topcoat
• A foundation sponge available from any drugstore
• Swarovski crystals

Ok I feel this space is gearing towards the likes of a lacquer blog, I apologize.

TDY'S TOPIK= NAILZ

Got Nail Venus Summer 2010 fr Kino today, and also put my name down for Chanel's limited edt Gold Lame and Illusion D'or, both were apparently stocked at the Taka counter, OOS when I was there today.
