Nina Ultra Pro In A Tiff

Because it's April/Autism Awareness month, I've decided to keep wearing blue. It's not that hard, since I do have a few blues which need to be worn. I will probably pull out something completely not blue at all once April is over though.

At first I thought this would be a blue creme, but when I got it I was pleasantly surprised. In the bottle the shimmer is very obvious, there's bits of pink, blue and silver. It's also pretty obvious when it's still wet, but as it dries, the shimmer gets a little bit shy and decides to hide in the thick creamy base.

Also, it's not exactly blue. It kind of looks like it wants to be Tiffany blue, but isn't exactly. Tiffany blue has a bit more.. yellow (?) in it. I thought about the name for awhile, and 'In A Tiff'? Wordplay on the word Tiff? As in Tiffany?

Anyway, it's pretty thick and opaque, so I did 2 coats with top coat. I had no issues with it except for the thickness, which can be fixed with thinner anyway. The wear was good too. I wore this Sunday to Thursday with minimal tip wear. Imagine the pictures with a bit more green/yellow. They came out too blue. If you click to enlarge the pictures, you'll see the hidden shimmer.








Under fluorescent lighting: it's really not as blue as it appears here.

I'll probably update this post later with a bottle picture and maybe a wet/dry comparison.

Also, a lot of people have left some very lovely comments on my guest post on colorfulbottle's blog, which I am very grateful for. Thank you guys so much (if you're reading this)! If it's a tutorial you want, then it's a tutorial you'll get (I think I adapted this from a movie, was it Troy?). I hope you don't mind being a little bit patient because I barely have time to paint my nails let alone do a tutorial. After my exams things should slow down a little and I'll be able to do it then. (:

By the time you read this, I'll probably be on my weekend holiday. I'm on a family holiday despite my busy university schedule. I'm almost at the end of the first semester. And I have a law and ethics test on Monday, which is the day after I get back from my short vacation. :/

I hope you're all having a great weekend! (:

Swap with Kellie Gonzo

I finally finished my Chemistry test. After an entire week (actually just about 4 days) of hardcore studying and listening to the same playlist (which is my Study playlist and has only instrumental songs like soundtracks etc.) daily, I can confidently say..

I am probably going to fail that test. I am probably going to fail so hard, they'll put my paper in the dictionary next to the word "fail" as a definition.

On the bright side, I have a whole bunch of stuff that is impossible to get here. All thanks to Kellie (whose blog is awesome by the way, I'm sure you've seen it) who kindly agreed to do a swap with me. I know I've said it before, but thank you so so so so (times infinity) much! <3

This was my first ever swap and it could not have been better (:

Also, my watermark has become increasingly obnoxious-looking to me, even though I haven't changed it since I made it. :/

I've worn a couple of them already (too excited :P ) and am wearing the OPI now. I have a little formal-ish school related activity tomorrow so it's quite appropriate.

I would post pictures of what I sent her, but only after she's received it. I like giving surprises. Haha. I doubt mine can top hers, but.. hopefully she will like it (:

I love each and every single one of these polishes to death. I'll be holding on to them on my deathbed. They must be buried with me so that no one else can every own/use them. *serious face*
