Polka Dot Nail Tips & Swirling Nail Design


It is another quick update for today for my nails of the day. Because I have to go on interview with my teachers. I am gonna take some classes and kind of don't have much time for blogging. But at the same time don't wanna be a MIA again. Anyways, here is two random nail designs I've done. Recently my nails are outgrowths a little bit and I can do more nail tutorials.




Finally yesterday I decided to made a fresh manicure on my nails. And I used a nail polish which I won in one of give-aways. It is Sinful Colors in Mercury Rising #860. This nail polish is so beautiful! I like it very-very much! I had pretty the same color may be 2 or 3 years ago ( my little sister liked it too so I gave it to her ). And after that I couldn't find anything like this. And one day I saw a give-away for this nail polish and I won it! Yey! Now I have such color again. Very glad to have it! As usual, when I did this picture for the polka dot nail tips there wasn't sunlight out there; it is raining 2 days in a row. So, you totally can't see all the beautiful-ness of the nail polish. But it is kind of burgundy color with a tiny red and gold sparkles to it. Anyways, I applied this color in two coats as always and with VoV Chamon nail polish in White I created some dots on the tips of my nails. And for final step you just have to seal all the design with a clear top coat. 




Here is another nail manicure which I was wearing on last week. For this design I've used VoV Nail Cone nail polish in Beige Mousse #1297 all over my nail plate in one very thick coat. And then before it got dry I drew a few pretty thin lines along and across the entire nail plate using Sinful Colors in Mercury Rising #860 nail polish again. And quickly with a needle I made kind of circular motions all over the surface. It is not my design, I saw this on you tube and totally can't remeber where it was, so without a links to that video. But anyways, I am sure you've got an idea. I think it's very simple nail arts, but still being sort of nail art. LOL:


Hope you like the designs and give it to try one day :D

Bright Makeup Looks




As I said in my previous blog post I was gonna show some of my make-up looks which I've done during whole last week. Also here is two looks I did using one of the Sleek palettes in Acid which has sort of neon colors in it. By the way, I am gonna to do a series of make-up tutorials using all the Sleek palettes I've got in a swap. So exciting about that too. Have a lot of bright and nice ideas for that.


Anyways, here is the first looks I've done using bright Acid palette. Cutting the crease with a neon purple. On my upper lid I have a neon pink and blue eye shadows. The pink one is so pretty and such vivid eye shadow. In love with all those colors!




Here is another one using some yellow and green neon shadows. Kind of tried to create a 3D effect on my eyes. For my lips I used Sleek Wonder Last lip color in 608 Berry Blush as well. Excuse my wet hair on this picture. Here I just got washed them.




This is another bright look using my VoV 24 palette. I did this make-up before I've got the parcel. So, just played with some colors. Using matte eye shadows in white, green and black. Sort of Spring make-up look.




And here is the last one. Again using VoV 24 palette. For this look I used more matte eye shadow in light orange, bright orange, chocolate brown and baby pink I guess. Hahaha~ I just noticed that my orange pajamas totally suits this make-up look :P


Just a quick update! If you like to see any of these make-up tutorials just let me know and I'll try to re-create it for you.

Swap Package From Yinnie!




Hello beauty world! I was totally without internet during the whole of last week. My old PC absolutely croaked and I was waited until the new one which we bought get home. Finally today I got my new PC and it working so fast; wow! Previous was like a big old turtle, and now I'm flying like a bird from one program to another. So nice! Anyways, it was pretty long time without beauty blogs and everything connected with make-up 'n stuff and I missed it a lot. During that time, while I was totally MIA I did some of make-up looks (I think I'm gonna show it in my next update) also I was read New Moon book. After I watched the New Moon movie, I started hate the saga, like absolutely hate it. But I already bought the rest of the Twilight saga books and thought that I still do nothing I am gonna start read New Moon book. And yes, of course! I like those books anyways. And now I started read Eclipse and still being very exciting about it. I will say you my opinion that the books is much more interesting than the movies! But I'll tell you a secret, I hate hate hate Bella! Such a selfish girl!


On last week I got the package from Yinnie. We did a little make-up swap. And I wanted some UK Sleek palettes and she gladly accept to do this swap with me. ThanQ so much dear Yinnie! I so like all the stuff you sent me! And very-very appreciate the attention to my baby :) You're such sweetheart! Love ya girl!




Here is the Sleek palettes she got for me. Sunset, The Original, ACID and Storm ones. I like them a lot. And can't stop playing with all the colors. I did some looks using the Acid palette which are neon colors kind of and I'll show it in my next post. Also I really do like the Storm palette one, very nice and wearable colors. I can create with that palette from day time looks to very dramatic night or smokey eyes. Such great stuff.




Also she put in the package some extra products like Soap & Glory body butter which I didn't have a chance yet to use it (just want to finish Aveeno one) and Petroleum Jelly Rosy Lips. Which smells like green tea with rose. Good stuff tho!




And lasheZZZ! It's exclusive part in my fake lashes collection! I like how thick they are in the outer corners! Can't wait to use them as well!




And she was sooo sweet and also included some things for my son! I was so delighted and appreciate it a lot! She get some chocolate sweets for my baby. He ate them 2 days and was waited until there will appear little dinosaurs. But unfortunately all the eggs were eaten before and we never saw them hahaha~




And also the T-shirt for my baby from Zara. Very nice and light fabrics especially great for hot and wet summer in Korea :P But I think he'll get in it only next summer.


And the other day I got a little package from OxfordJasmine. I won her blog give-away and she sent me that blotting tissues. Which is very different than Clean & Clear one.




So, here is my packages I've to share. And now I am gonna replay to all messages I've got on my e-mail and blogspot and other stuff when I was Off. Just a ton of messages!


ThanQ for remembering me!

Eyebrow Shaping and Makeup Tutorial Video


By popular demand, here is a video on how I do my eyebrows! I will show you how I pluck and trim my brows, as well as how I fill them in using brow powder. This is purely for reference only, and as I said in the video, if you have never done anything to your brows before, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE find a beautician or makeup artist to help you out first!

(excuse the no-makeup scary-face by the way :p)

Link Love (with Some Commentary)


Do you read Jezebel? I am fairly obsessed with the mix of semi-serious and pop-culture content with a healthy dose of feminism mixed in. The comment threads regularly leave me busting up with laughter, especially when ladies get on a tear about hunky, male celebrities.

At any rate, this week the kind Jezebels have been running a series on Beauty 101 after soliciting feedback from readers on

Beautiful Mandy Moore Hairstyles

When we first met Mandy Moore, she was in our CD players singing us through our teenage years. Now, the grown up Mandy Moore has discovered acting. We have seen in her excellent films such as “Because I Said So” and “Saved”. As we have watched her grow into a young woman, we have watched her style change as well. take a look at the different hairstyles that we have seen Mandy in.

Mandy Moore HairstylesMandy Moore Hairstyles

At first, Mandy was just a young strawberry blonde girl who possessed the gift of singing. Now, we find her on the silver screen, the same hair color is there as well. Mandy prefers to wear her hair longer. In the move “How to Deal” however, we did see her with a cute short cut. This cut was very close to a cut that celebrity Ashley Judd had for awhile. There are short layers and the hair stacks on top of each other. This is a great style if you have thinner hair.

Mandy Moore HairstylesMandy Moore Hairstyles

Mandy typically parts her hair down the middle. Because her hair is longer, she does have some longer layers put in there. This adds some body as well and gives the hair some more life. The last thing that you want is long, flat hair. That would simply be no fun at all. The only product you would need to finish a style such as this would be hair spray.

2010 Short Choppy Pixie Hairstyles


If you ought to get a short and sassy hairstyle, the choppy pixie may be a hot option for you! This season short pixie crops are worn messy with lots of texture. You can easily take a pixie haircut from everyday wash-and-wear to a serious style statement! Wear it choppy and messy during the day, and glam it up for the evening wearing it sleek with a '40s side parting.




A super short choppy pixie hairstyle is not for the faint hearted – you'll need confidence to pull off the look, as well as delicate features. But if you don't have elfin features, a short pixie haircut can be tailored to suit most of the face shapes adding bangs or longer layers at the top.

For heart-shaped faces, short crops with volume will balance out the narrowing face. Contrary to popular belief, square shaped faces can suit short haircuts, but be sure to keep the edges of the style soft as this breaks up the strong lines of the square face. Oval faces shapes can pretty much pull off any short hairstyles.

Choosing The Best Long Layered Hairstyles

Long layered hairstyles are a favorite look for long, straight hair. Long layered hairstyles frame your face and show off the silky locks at the same time. Twist the ends of the hair with a straightening iron (not a curly iron) to achieve a gentle curve at the ends of your hair.

Long layered hairstyles for girls are popular because they are versatile. Layered long haircuts can be worked to look professional, casual or glamorous. Styles range from short to long hair, wavy, or straight in any startling.
