It's That Time Again--My Nails!

I'm such a horrible person.

I want to blog, but I don't know what to blog about (cos I'm a boring person, that's what >.<) although I do have a few outfits lined up for future fashion posts but unfortunately, I am not really in the mood for it at the moment, so just to blog for the sake of blogging, I'm gonna talk about my nails.

Yes, it's that time again--nails.

Don't pretend you don't love it! xD

Anyway, I've forgotten when I got these done already, it's been so long ago. These are all backlogs of photos of my then-current nail polish designs that thoroughly thrilled me at the time!



Dark shimmery purple from Elianto with bright red stripes from K-Le (Korean brand). 
Can you see them? :)

(I hate that my 2.0 mp camera doesn't take close-ups of my nails very well. The colours look more awesome in real-life, I swear! It just doesn't do them justice T.T)

By far, this is my most favourite design! They look really pretty after I was done. I was darn proud of myself for thinking of this design and colour combination all by meself. :P I think they look really good, don't you think? :D

Sadly though, the dark shimmery purple, which is my favourite bottle in my entire nail lacquer collection, has finally gone and died on me. T.T I've had it for too long; it doesn't spread well anymore. Too thick and viscous. :(

(fyi, old nail polish--the non-branded ones lar--get thick and sticky after some time. I dunno why that happens. Contamination? Too much exposure to air? So I never really get to use an entire bottle of nail polish. I'll be lucky to even get to three quarters of it. @.@)

RIP, dark shimmery purple. You've brought me much joy! *sniffs*



Opaque bright pink with pretty flower nail stickers! 
Both, also from Elianto :)

I love the flower nail stickers, I do! So dainty and pretty, kan? :D

Sam helped me pick this colour out when we stopped by Elianto at Jusco, S2. Personally, I think it looks better in the bottle than it does on my nails :(

I think it's a super sweet colour but because of its brightness, it somehow makes my hands look darker. What do you think? >.< (I hope this is not one of those, "Ohhh, now that you mention it..." moments! ARGH.)

Well, since it's a new bottle, I gotta keep using it anyway. Cannot waste. =.=



Simple maroon from K-Le :)

This is a new one I bought at Family Store when I was passing by. I just couldn't help myself! Just wanted a new colour, although I'd only just bought the opaque bright pink one recently. Aheh. :P

I considered putting the flower nail stickers too, but I wanted to see how this colour looked like on my nails, bare.

I think it looks all right. I'm not jumping up and down over it as much as I thought I might. It does, somehow though, make my hands seem fairer. :D But a little too dull for my taste. (Buying-compulsions, whyyyyyyyy? T.T) At least the bright pink was striking!

So there, the last three colours of my nails. :)
(What a total waste of your time, eh? @.@ haha)

At the moment, my nails are naked. Which my brother says is the best colour of all. =.= Boys. What do they know. Pfft.

p.s: You can read more of my nail posts here! You know you want to! :P

a friend told me that you could try pour in some of the nail polish remover into the coagulated nail polish and give it a good shake and roll in your palm.

another tip is that after you pour in the remover, you put it on top of an iron (you know... iron yang gosok baju tuh) but cover the 'besi' part with some cloth first la... cuz it might get too hot.

my friend do that all the time and it saves her favorite nail polish from turning hard.

aiyah... seriously.. i am jealous of people who can manage to apply nail polish so perfectly like you.

*swooooooooooon*

i kalau pakai sebelah kiri je lawa, bila nak switch hand apply sblah kiri terus cacat-ed. buruk gila.

nak tunggu my friend pakaikan, have to wait till i got back to penang to see her. hahaha...

I have tried that before! But it doesn't last! T.T I think for some brands, that works. But sometimes when I do that for some of my bottles, it makes it 10X worse the next time I open it! :'(

Ooh, but I might try the iron trick. Never heard that one before! :P

Ahaha, actually, my right hand nails also a bit cacat-ed wan, but can't really see. The trick is to practise! haha Practise more and you'll get better! :P

nail polish dries up because the alcohol in it evaporates, the same reason it dries up on your fingernails. so to prevent it from drying up, pouring nail polish remover (which contains alcohol) should help. Of cos sooner or later it would dry up, because of the same reason. BUT im quite sure u should still be able to use it. Not sure bout the 'iron' thing though. mayb it is to melt/mix better those which are 'over' dried up in the bottle.

Thank you for the info! But I did wonder why it is that pouring nail polish remover does not just dissolve it all, since that is what it is supposed to do. @.@

"To My Parents: I'm Not Your Damn Slave."

Image
I came across this video that not only shocked me, but, strangely, moved me (in a weird kind of way). A fifteen-year-old girl, Hannah, posted on her Facebook wall about how crappy and how unfair her life is, because she has to do school and  chores at home. She shared this with the entire world on Facebook but blocked her parents from seeing it. Unfortunately for her, her dad, Tommy Jordan, runs an IT company for a living, and, well, let's just say her plan failed. @.@ I would like to transcribe (from the video) what Jordan read from his daughter's Facebook wall: "To my parents, I'm not your damn slave. It's not my responsibility to clean up your shit. We have a cleaning lady for a reason--her name is Linda, not Hannah. If you want coffee, get off your ass and make it yourself. If you want a garden, shovel the fertiliser yourself. Don't sit back on your ass and watch me do it. If you walk into the house and get mud all over the floor that I just cle...

This Old Man

Image
I grew up with nursery rhymes. I don't remember actually learning them in kindergarten, but give me one line, and I'll be able to tell you the rest. Well, most of it anyway. I guess Tadika Kiddyhouse did a good job in teaching kids their nursery rhymes. (No, no, no understanding needed. Just rote memorization! Good job!) :D I can remember every word to "Hey Diddle Diddle". If you ask me nicely I can sing it for you :) Hey Diddle diddle The cat and the fiddle The cow jumped over the moon The little dog laughed to see such sport And the dish ran away with the spoon. One question though: Have you ever wondered what these children's nursery rhymes mean? We've always accepted the unacceptable in nursery rhymes. How a cat learned to play a fiddle, how a cow can jump over the moon, how a dog can laugh, and how dishes can elope with spoons. But one nursery rhyme that's kinda got me stumped is "This Old Man." This old man, he played one...

Teaching Profession

Image
I hate it. I really reaaalllllyyyy despise it. >.<  Oh. I don't mean teaching profession the profession . I meant teaching profession the subject . Yes, I know it's pretty strange to study the subject Teaching Profession when I'm in the teaching profession. But I do. Paper was over and done with. TODAY. *cheers* And boy, am I relieved. Relieved is an understatement. I have been frustrated studying for a subject before. I have struggled with a subject so bad I wanted to give up. But never, NEVER as it was with Teaching Profession - the subject. First pain-in-the-butt fact : Teaching Profession - the subject - is taught in English. Finals was in English. Text book given in MALAY. Bahasa Malaysia. Our beloved national language.  Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against our national language. Honest. But come onnnnnn. Finals in English, text in Malay?? wth. Can't they even be consistent? Uniform? If you're gonna have the text book in Malay, ...
