Flowers Nails & March Nail Polish Haul

Hello hello! Before I show you guys my very belated nail polish haul, here's my NOTD! I just added another layer of OPI So Many Clowns... So Little Time to my previous mani & then made flowers using a dotting tool. I remember someone asked me to do a tutorial before & I have yet to do so. Oops! Does anyone still need to see a tutorial? If so, I can make one after my next mani.


Now my belated belated nail polish haul from March! Better late than never.
I like to make these kind of posts to help me keep track of what & how many polishes I bought within that month.
Also afterwards, I update my spreadsheet. Too many polishes, not enough fingers!

Blackened Bleu - Falling Stars - Myrza's Meadow - Elle's Spells - Buddha-ful

My first batch of Barielle polishes that I bought from Hautelook.


Floam - Sticks 'n Stones

I got these two during the second time Polish Ninja stocked up. I pulled an all-nighter that day
& was amaze when I saw the notifications in my email so late in the night. Two of my lemmings!! :D
I worn Sticks 'n Stones twice, but didn't take pictures & I have yet to wear Floam.


Whimsical - Effervescent Opal - Steel Her Heart - Black with Envy - Midnight Affair


Hot Pink - Rad Purple


Dress Me Up - Foie Gras - Hook and Line - Stone Cold


Agro - Mahogany Magic - Riveting - Electrify

My brother went on a nail polish adventure to get me these China Glaze from their Hunger Game collection.


"Turquoise" - Ocean Party by Sassy Lacquer


No names - the caps are so cute!



Candy Shop



No names, but for $1 how can I resist


Choose Me! - High Spirits - Ole

That's all. Oh was that more polishes than I expected.
& Is Floam or Sticks 'n Stones/Connect the Dots one of your lemming? Or do you own it?

Skin Food BL003 w/ Wet n Wild Party of Five Glitters

Hello lovely readers! =) Today I have a nail post to show you guys. I know... finally! I have a little over a week of free time before I start summer school, so I'll be painting my nails again.

Recently Skin Food opened a new location in San Francisco & I was drawn in by the samples they were handing out. I ended up getting two bottle of polishes because of their cute packaging & it was also my first time buying Skin Food products. I read before that Skin Food had problematic nail polishes a couple of years back, I'm not too sure if it was certain polishes or all of them. Hoping their formula are changed by now.


Anyways this is my current mani, I'm wearing four coats of Skin Food Milk Creamy Nail BL003 for the base color, one layer of Nubar White Polka Dot, one layer of Wet n Wild Party of Five Glitters, & one coat layer of OPI  So Many Clowns... So Little Time. The Skin Food polish applied streaky for me, that's why I had to pack on that many coats. Other than that, it came out to be a nice mint green color. I wore BL003 w/ White Polka Dot for 4 days without chipping & only slight tipwear. I wasn't satisfied with how it looked in the pictures, so I added the multi-colored glitters & SMCSLT for a more milkier look. This mani is similar to how I did my nails for my birthday a few months back.

Can you believe this mani has a whopping 14 layers of nail polish?! It adds up when I show you guys how each step looks with SV & a matte top coat. =) I don't mind the many layers, it makes my nail feel a bit stronger. Haha.

That's it for now. I'll try & play catch up tonight. I have 1000+ posts to check out in my Reader. How fun.
