Simple Snake Skin Nail art (Stamping Nail)

Chinese New Year 2013 - The year of Water Snake.

So excited about this coming years, cause there will be a longgg holiday in here, Taiwan. So to celebrate the chinese new year I try the snake skin nail, I use 2 different methods. 

The first method: 

1. I paint 2 coats of china Glaze 'Nude' 

2. Then used a garlic or vegetable net wrapped around my finger

3. Then using a sponge I dabbed OPI 'Pros&brons' and 'Warm&Fozzie' all over the nail 

4. finally I use Konad stamping nail M57 plate then sec he vite top coat  and this is the final result:

The 2nd method I used, is very simple, just use the sponge and dabbed OPI 'Pros&brons' and 'Warm&Fozzie' all over the nail 

*Ops, the glitter can be very messy

And here is the result;

So easy and simple right ^.^

Are you also excited for the Chinese New Year? what will be on your nails?

Etude House Etoinette Versailles Nails review

I'm sure, most of you already heard of Etude House's Etoinette collection, so I grab the nail series from that collection

They have 2 choices of nail set from this collection. I got mine in #01 Versailles Rose

and the other one that I didn't buy is purple based color 

*this pic I got from Etude House Taiwan website: www.etudehouse.com.tw

Anyway, let's look inside the box :

We have 3 nail polishes: Mint Leaf, White Rose Dew, Water Rose (from left to right)  @ 4ml and 1 sheet of nail sticker (but I would call it nail tattoo- cause you have to soak in the sticker first in order to use it) 

The swatches:

Mint Leaf, White Rose Dew, Water Rose (from left to right)- 2 coats without top coat, no flash and taken indoor.

I love mint leaf color so much, It's pastel green but it has gold shimmer in it, so beautiful. The water rose, it's pastel coral pink color, the color didn't flatter my skin, It looks off for my skin. 

For mint leaf and water rose 2 coats + 1 coat of white rose dew, and for the middle finger 3 coats of white rose dewe, without top coat, no flash and taken indoor.

WOW!! I love the GLITTER (white rose dew) so much, the glitter are mix of small round, big round chunky and even square gold glitter. I LOVE IT!!!. This glitter make the water rose (my index finger) looks very pretty (I love it with the glitter, not to wear it alone). 

In conclusion: 

What make me love this nail pack;

1. The color combo are pretty, it's feel like spring/summer
2. The Glitter nails are amazing 
3. The bottle are slim and light, make it easier to carry on for traveling 
4. The princess craving on top of the bottle make it look so cute and girly (and the cap is pink ^.^)
5. They gave nail tattoo instead of cheap nail sticker

The cons:

- The price is slightly expensive than the other series pack. As far as I know they usually sold nail pack (as dolly 3 steps nails series, juicy cocktail series) for 290 nt and for this collection I got mine for 380 nt.   Is it over pricing?

What do you think? Do you also like Etude House Etoinette collection?

Etude House Waxing Patch Review

Do you girls have a mustache? I DO! and it's been annoying me for so long timeeee. I used to use Sally Hansen waxing strips, but unfortunately I couldn't find it here in Taiwan and I've tried using the hair removal cream (forgot the brand) but it came with strong smell and irritated my skin so bad. I even got it laser (hair removal laser), it can clean up the hair and last for 1 month, but leaving that skin area so dry and itchy. So, when I visit Etude House i saw this stuff

YES!!! It's face waxing patch, so exciting to see this ^.^

Don't worry they have english instruction of how to use it at the back of the box 

These are the inside. One box contains of 10 pieces of waxing patches. 

How to use it? 

1. After washing face, throughly wet under nose skin area

2. Peel patch off and apply to under nose area, pressing down to ensure good contact with skin.

3. Let dry for 10-15 minutes. 

4. After dry, slowly peel off starting at the edges, pulling toward center. 

As you can see in the photo, the patch a bit shorter than my mustache so the result......... is a BIG FAILURE!!!!!

There are not much hair attach on the patch!!! my mustache still there T.T, where did I go wrong?

Well, there are some points that I like about this patch, It came with a packaging per patch so make it easy to carry on and easy to use, and since it has aloe vera, green tea and chamomile extract, it didn't irritated my skin. 

Overall, if I have to rate this product, I'll rate it 2 stars out of 5 stars, because it doesn't do the job, it didn't pick up my mustache hair!!! 

Have you ever use this waxing patch before? Do you also have the same problem like I have? or Do you also have this annoying hairy problem under the nose??? If you have please leave me comment what you usually do to get rid of this!!

Y.E.T Nail Wrap Review

Y.E.T (YES! ENJOY TIME) nail wrap, I'm so excited with this product. It's Korean product and their nail wrap designs are so cute and unique. I ordered mine from Taiwan online shop for 99 nt (taiwan dollar) It's around 30,000 IDR.

The front packaging is so cute (so appealing ^^) and at the back they give some instructions of how to use it. It's simple just choose the nail wrap (or i can say nail sticker) based on your nails size, stick it on your nails then buffer the left over and you're done!

This is what's look like from the inside. Nail buffer is included and they have 2 of 9 unique designs so, 18 pcs in one packaging and they also have variant size of the nail wrap, so you can choose which one fit to your nails. 

My first attempt to use the nail wrap ^^ (without top coat)

What I love about this nail wraps are;

- No dry time!

- Quick Finish!

- Easily use!

- Unique design! 

Those are what they said in the packaging and I'm all agree with those ^^ 

plus since I have short nails now, this wraps definitely too long for me, so I can cut some of the design and stick it on my nail (just like my ring finger and index finger) 

The only problem I have is with the nail buffer, it's not working!!!( or is it me who can't use it?) anyway, I'm using scissor instead of their nail buffer, it's easier. 

Would I repurchase it? Oh YES!!! I love this products, it's easy to use and it's fun. Their designs of nail wraps are so unique they even have glow in the dark version ^^, I might grab that one someday. I don't know if you can get this products on your local country, but if you do, you should buy it ^^.  Highly recommended ^^

The Face Shop Nail Pack Review

There are 3 kinds of nail pack, the lemon for the brightening, the paraffin for moisture, and the milk calcium for strengthening, I chose the milk calcium ^^

at the back of the packaging there are the list of ingredients and how to use it.  It came with 10 pieces of nail mask. 5 for left and 5 for right.

My nails before 

 Within 5 masks, there is 1 mask a bit bigger than the others, which is designed for the thumbs. The masks are really wet and smells so good.  

 There are lots of left over essence in the packaging, so I just use it for the rest of the hand palms, and even my feet ^^. After 10-15 minutes just open the mask, and i gave my nails and hand a little massage, just for the essence to soak in. 

My nails after. My nails, fingers and hand looks so bright and smooth. I'm really impress with this nail pack. As for the price, I feel it's quite cheap I got mine around 50 nt (Taiwan dollar). Really recommended!!
