Nail, Face and Outfit for Saturday.

So on Saturday, I went to my friend Teresa's Birthday/Get Together. I thought I would go for a new look and get rid of my green sparkly nails for the party/the rest of the week... only until I get my China Glaze Polishes which I ordered on eBay! 

Here I have the nail polishes I used to create this 'galaxy inspired' nail look. I attempted one with similar colours last time (here) and since I got this new ORLY Nail Polish in Sapphire Luck. It is such a wonderful colour! But it does take a few coats to get it to a great opacity.

It's messy due to the fact I cleaned my nails several times and my nails kept bumping into things so I had to redo them. *sigh!

For my FOTD/OOTD It's not really noticeable due to the lighting of this picture in which I took on my iPhone's front camera but I like this picture. Hehehe! This photo I snapped with lovely birthday girl, Teresa!

Using Australis Make-Up Finishing Spritz! 

My question to you guys is! What's your favourite primer! I put my new Natio Primer to use on Saturday (got it that day as well) and it works wonders! Anyone of you use primers? Yes? No? Any ones that are Holy Grail ones to you or any you recommend? I would love to hear what you have to say! Leave a comment below!

Peachy, Coraly and Pink Nails.

I wish i was more creative with my titles LOL. Everytime i post something i try to think of something 'catchy' but i suck. :(

Anyways! What i get up to in my spare time is just playing with nail polish and I don't like having too many bright colours on my nails. If you know me - I'm a pretty neutral coloured and also neutral towards make-up i barely have any wild colours in my collection but probably a bright pink lippy .... i'm still a slight noobie when it comes to any beauty products. So i'll be usually wearing a nude lippy or especially nude/peachy coloured nails (if you've noticed) 

Nevertheless, lately my nails have been outwearing my OPI Dulce De Leche for 2/3 weeks with a Clear Top Coat. I love that colour! It's probably my signature nail polish colour! It started getting edgy but not cracky - which is what i love about OPI nail polishes. They're absolute quality but a bit pricey (especially if you live in Australia they cost $20AUD at David Jones) but i bought mine on eBay for roughly $15AUD.

I wanted to get rid of my Dulce De Leche Colour (for reference - the picture above) and so i was looking through the nail stash and found my next 'go to' colour which is Revlon's Iced Spice (130) - I looks really old according to the spill stains my mum has probably made and all but it was a bright Peach colour and a new colour variation to my nails.

I got bored after having this colour for a day and reverted back to my OPI Barefoot in Barcelona which is a mauve? (not too sure) I think... well just a darker version of Delce De Leche... I sort of got inspired to use my Nubar after a long time after seeing Tezza's post, on where she is wearing the same Nubar 2010 as i own here!

Galaxy Nail Attempt & Misc.

So last night i was really bored and i decided create a little look with my nails. It might look slightly tacky but i swear it looks better in real life. I wanted to do galaxy nails but the only way i could do it and probably achieve it (from what i can think of is marbling - which is messy) so i did the most noobiest thing and got a coat of purple nail polish (Revlon's Plum Attraction) and a teal aqua nail polish (Incolor by Jordana in Ocean View) swiped a few coats on top of each other to create a streaky effect to create a somewhat 'galaxy' effect (kinda fail but it made do) and i finished it off with some plain silver glitter nail polish and Nubar's G188 flakey nail polish.

Anywho as mentioned, i got my NYX lippies. I must say these two are my instant favourites at the moment. 

I know i just got them like... earlier today but i'm madly in love with them already. 

NYX Round Lipstick in Pumpkin Pie and NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm

Put together & viola! My new lippie sensation LOL. I wore them out today for my late lunch with the boyfriend and he said he liked it hahaha! I forgot to review about my Stockholm Lip Cream which i will now! (I'll probably add an edit to my previous post)

NYX Lip Cream in Stockholm: Overall, they apply on really easy. I love the pigmentation and also how it feels on my lips - I love how Matte it is as well! This wins me over my MAC Dazzleglass and since it is a lip cream it seriously does wonders! It's glides on smooth and also i just love the texture and the vanilla smell! definitely a 5/5 for me! 

So a little earlier i headed out to Harry Cafe De Wheels at Orange Grove with Lorenzo to grab a Cafe De Wheels Hot Dog, omgggggg it's so freaking nice and i just had to take a photo of it. It's freaking scrumptious as and apparently it's not that fattening... LOL. The best $5.90 ever spent on a good hot dog. So this was considered my late lunch. 

Sooooo nommy, i had this before at the city outside Capitol Square right before my 11am class started. This was my breakfast - felt so guilty but oh so furfilling. 

Be back soon!
