To be honest I was so excited about my Halloween manicure. I mean, I live in a country where Halloween is just another day. Halloween costumes, as fun as they sound, are just unheard of. So where else to turn to but nail art!
I really wanted to practice my Ruffians again and test out my new Elianto #18 Orange Red polish so I combined all of it… and got something I didn’t really like :(
HALF-HEARTED ATTEMPTS ALWAYS END UP BEING FUGLY.
Even though I’d planned it for a long time, I did my nails after coming home from my Biology practical exam (more about those later) and I was tired and just wanted to get it over with. Sigh.
While I was thinking of a blog post title, I thought of Jack ‘O’ Ruffian. Then I thought WHY DIDN’T I DO THAT!?!? D: As in paint the typical black eyes and mouth of a Jack ‘O’ Lantern in my orange Ruffian :( Okay la whatever I’m giving you guys a bad impression of the mani before you’ve even seen it. Sorry!
Was too lazy to edit this batch of photos, so I just did what I could with my pretty awesome newfound camera settings (I’ll tell you about that after ‘O’ Levels) and tried out a few different white balances too (see freaky ghostly blue and Frankenstein green).
What was that nursery rhyme about the itsy bitsy spider?
Left hand: spider webs.
Right hand: spiders. Couldn't draw the webs for my right hand cause my left hand is so bad at handling the brush :( I botched up the spider on my 4th finger so badly cause it was my first try.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
‘O’ Level’s aren't as bad as I thought they’d be! It was a rocky start but things went more smoothly once I got used to it and stopped getting heart-pounding nerves every time I sat down in the Hall. There’s usually a few days break between each paper so it’s actually quite relaxed. Especially now that most of the more major fear-inducing papers are done and dusted! Proof: I’VE EVEN GOT TIME TO PAINT MY NAILS, GO OUT TO DINNER AND BLOG :D
I bet I’ll be taking all this back the day before the Add Maths paper though T_____T I think that’s the paper I dread the most, even more than Malay 1 and Chemistry 2, which is saying A LOT. But, I will comfort myself with the thought that both those papers weren’t that bad after all.
Dinner pics from a few nights ago! My sis is back right now with superbly chun timing. She arrived the day my exams started and is leaving on the last day of my exams -__- Her boyfriend’s also currently visiting and playing tourist!
Me and sis. I’m the one in purple in case you can’t tell us apart. Although I really think we look nothing alike side by side in this pic!!
Photo to show off my false eyelashes from Beauty Splash!!! (Please don’t judge unPhotoshopped pics D:)
I love them so much, they’re so comfy and pretty natural looking while still being massive! They’re actually really wide, I cut off a lot from the edge with the longer lashes already for this pair. They’re the criss-cross type though you can’t really tell from this pic.
On a related note, I also REALLY love The Face Shop’s Perfect Stick Concealer. It’s the only other thing I’m wearing here besides my falsies and Nivea Lip Care.
If you’ve seen me in person right now, my skin does NOT look like this! Being the daunting stressful exam period, I’m having probably the worse acne of my entire life. Angry red spots all over my cheeks and chin and even some on my forehead and nose, PLUS purplish blue eyebags, really FML.
And the Face Shop concealer (I use Natural Beige, the darker of the 2 colours they have) manages to cover all of it considerably well, with a significant difference, and has totally no-fuss application! I love the soft creamy texture and it’s so easy to blend WITHOUT disappearing.
Okay it sounds like I’m writing an advertorial for Face Shop. I’m not!
To close, the lighting in the restaurant made my nails look tangerine. I should get a tangerine polish soon.
See you all November 20th and good luck for the rest of your papers if you’re weathering ‘O’ Level’s too! :)
P/S: Just read this graduation speech posted on a blog that I follow, and I urge everyone that's about to graduate to read it!! It's a bit long though, so only if you've got time to spare. http://willyyilly.blogspot.com/2010/10/lessons-of-life.html
