A Collection of NOTD

March 31, 2013

I’ve compiled some of my older posts into a collection of NOTD! Hope you enjoy browsing at a selection of nail polish colors I enjoyed wearing!

OPI in Leaf Him At the Altar

This is a forest green with gold foil duochrome. I quite like the color because it’s so unique and it dries super fast! This is in the mini sephora bottle which I think is actually better. I’ve never been able to finish a bottle of nail polish. August 31st, 2012

OPI in Almost Famous

This formula was a dream to apply. No clumping, and dries fast. However it also chips super fast!
 August 13th, 2012

Rimmel Lasting Finish in Pink Bliss

I love the color of this polish. Such a soft and sweet baby pink. The color is true to the bottle, and drying time is fast. Only complaint is that the formula is slightly streaky. I used 3 coats. Aug 2nd, 2012

Sally Hansen in Stoney Creme

This was a picture taken a while back while I was still living in dorms. I quite like this neutral color as it’s appropriate for many occasions. This is 2 coats of polish and it provides an opaque creamy coverage. I’d definitely recommend trying this out for a nudey nail color. July 6th, 2012

NuRy Pink Polish

This is a nail polish I picked up in China last summer. The color is a bright pink with silver microshimmer. It looks really good in the bottle but was terrible to apply. This took me 3 coats! Also, the dry time is ridiculously long. After about 45 mins of waiting, my nails still smudged. About a day after wear, chipping started to happen. A really cute color, but not such a cute application process. July 6th, 2012

Eyeko in Vintage Polish

This is my absolute favorite color for spring/summer. But the formula dried up and it’s so goopy. It was a disaster to apply today and after doing my nails I threw it away. So sad. But the application is so difficult that I figure I can pick up another mint green. June 4th, 2012.

Sally Hansen in Lacey Lilac


A quick nail of the day during final exams!! Takes about 2 coats, thinner consistency. Applies nicely. Very pretty spring/summer color! April 14th, 2012

Essie’s Meet the Parents

This is with two coats. I picked up this bottle at Winners for $5.99.
Here is a compilation of some of my NOTDs using the Tinsel Town collection by OPI. I split the package with my friend and had 8 to play with. See my original post to see which colors I got.

🫎🍁 Don't miss this LIMITED EDITION release from @t 🫎🍁 Don't miss this LIMITED EDITION release from @tatcha! Inspired by the changing fall colors of the Japanese maple, this beautiful kissu lip mask now has a berry red tint. I love the moisturizing squalane and Japanese peach extracts. My dry lips have never felt so hydrated and soft. Definitely give this a try if you're looking for a smooth and plump lip with a hint of color. 

🍮 The packaging is also stunning with the maple motifs on the lid that makes this display worthy in any bathroom or vanity!

It has been a minute since posting 😅 the first two It has been a minute since posting 😅 the first two weeks with a newborn have been full of challenges and adjustments. But it's nice to take a break and go through some of my beauty products as a break 🤭.

Here are my top three face creams for the changing weather especially if you have dry skin!

Swatched from left to right: clarins, drunk elephant, aestura 

👌  moisturizing face creams for dry skin

Clarins Extra Firming: I love the day and night version of this cream. The night is even more heavy duty and creamy so sometimes I use the day version only 💫

It's got a beautiful scent and amazing collagen technology to plump the skin!

Aestura Atobarrier Lotion: this is a newer korean brand thats available now at Sephora. Part of the amorepacific family, so you know it'll be good!

The packaging is very simple and unassuming but I love how this soothes the skin! Its quite lightweight in texture but I used this when I was sick and it saved my nose after blowing into tissue a gazillion times a day! 🩵

Drunk Elephant Bora Barrier: im always a big fan of drunk elephant. This one is my favorite face cream from the brand. I love the pump packaging and this is perfect if you want hydration and barrier support!
