It's My Party!

"It's my party, I can cry if I want to, cry if I want, cry is I want. You would cry too if it happened to you!" ~ Lesley Gore
 
Guess what day it is??! GUESS WHAT DAY IT IS!! Huh, huh? Yup. That's right. It's my biiiiiiirthday! :D And I would love to cry because I just spent 5 hours doing chemistry and French homework. But that's okay because I did get to do my nails to celebrate today. ;)
 
This is the first time I tried out cupcake nails and I was inspired by Hannah. I think they turned out sooooo freaking cute!

Q is for Quilt

And the tests are done. <3 Okay. That's a lie. I actually have one more on Monday which I shall continue studying for as soon as I finish uploading my Q nails! ;D And man, midterms are so stressful. :p You have ALL your tests in the same week. :/ And this happens every month?!?! Yikes! I'm proud to say though that I did really well on the 4 I already finished. Wish me luck on Monday! :)
 
So here I have my Q nails for the ABC Nail Art Challenge. :) As you can see, I decided to go with the classic quilt nails because I am so out of practice and this is all I can do for nail art. >.< AND OMG YES. I GOT A NEW WATERMARK LOGO! All the thanks goes to Sandra at @beefette on Instagram!

Simple Stripes

Waaaaaahooo! Polish Pals got a makeover. ;) This last week I've been making some slight changes to my website and I'm proud to announce that I officially have a "Search It Bar" on the right hand side of the screen (when your viewing on a desktop) and a new Polish Pals banner! :D Isn't it sooooo cute?!?! A HUGE thanks to Sandra aka @beefette on Instagram for designing the perfect logo. ;D I love it a loooot. She developed like 20+ designs until we came up with this one. ;) We're in the process of making a new watermark too so stay tuned to all the changes happening here. ;)
 
Anyway! Let's get back to nails. I FINALLY had the chance to do some easy-peasy yet pretty nail art. :) It's midterm week guy so you might not see me post until this weekend...  :/ Boo.. But this is what I have on my nails at the moment. :)

Hey everyone! I decided that Swatch Sunday will probably be put on hold for a while -- I liked the whole Swatch Sunday idea when I didn't have anything to post during the summer but since I'm so busy at the moment, the only time I have to post is on the weekends so I don't want to waste all my days just posting swatches. xD Anyway! Let's get on with today's post!
 
Today I have for you some more awesome products from KKCenterHK.com to review, specifically one of their brush sets. So here is a quick photo of what all 15 brushes look like! Keep reading to find out my 100% honest thoughts on these brushes along with a quick pic on how they look when you use them.

O is for Orange

O is for Orange Nails.
 
That's right. ;) I'm FINALLY continuing my ABC Nail Art Challenge! I am so sorry for the long break but school has been crazy and my inspiration has been low. :( I have found my inspiration for O nails though! And as you can probably guess, they are orange but they're not your typical "orange nails". xD
 
And taaa-daaah! I wasn't kidding! They are orange nails! Of course I have to credit my inspiration to this adorable little pumpkin charm that one of my friends', Grace, made me! Check out her website tiniestworksofart.storenvy.com for more cute creations or her Instagram @tiny_works_of_art :)

Strapless by Pure Ice

It's time for Sunday Swatch again! Yikes, time flies so fast when you're busy... I haven't actually had time to swatch polishes and to be honest, I think I'll keep my neon chevron design on from yesterday on for the entire week because I'm in looooove. ;) So I have for you today this super gorgeous blue glitter polish by Pure Ice called Strapless that yes, I swatched a couple weeks ago. ;)
