Chocolate Taupe

Here I am, with yet again, another random post where I go on and on rambling about things that probably no one ever cares about. But I do. And no, i'm not gonna talk about guacamole again.
TODAY, I attended tutorial in the morning, as usual. Pukul sembilan stangahhh joooo ko gils punya awal tu. Bagi sya lah. hahahah. I was *this* close to not going cause I was still feeling tired and sleepy but well I toughened myself up and went anyway.
Spent almost the ENTIRE DAY on campus with Dal today, came back around 6pm. It was a productive evening cause I've done a considerable amount of work on my part for our MPP group assignment though i'm only about 60% done. Telling you if I stayed at home I wouldn't have gotten a single thing done.
Cause I always get distracted. Like now. Look. I'm writing this when I should be writing the rest of the 40%. LOL.
Right now I am tired. My period came today and of course with that comes that "masuk angin" feeling. Basically you just feel SICK and you don't wanna do anything haha (I am SO going to sleep after this). This means my PMS symptoms are gradually coming to an end, my boobs still hurt though ahahhaa but i've been less emotional and feeling strangely optimistic.
OH AND OH AND OH.
Look what arrived today! The stuff I ordered online (not the one from the UK though) but from Nail Fiesta. HAHA. It was on LABOR DAY sale ok. Couldn't resist it. hahahaah.
From the "NYX Girls" Nail Polish line!
From left to right, "Baby Pink Glitter", "Carnival", "Alps Bunny", "Chocolate Taupe", "Collection Noir"
My favorite is Chocolate Taupe. It looks the ugliest in the photo but I swear to you it looks better in real life.
Or maybe I just love that color. HAHA.
And the girl behind Nail Fiesta surprised with a little free gift!!!!
The NYX lipliner pencil! HAHAH.
Well too bad I don't use lipliners
(and the one she gave is in such an awful shade. too dark)
but I don't care i'm still happy cause it's FREE and it's freaking NYX, okay.
hahahah.
This is "Collection Noir" coated with "Alps Bunny".
Looks like OUTERSPACE!! I love it I love it I love it!
Too bad it only looks like that in pictures with the flash on =.=
I'm also digging "Carnival". Pretty much became adventurous in my selection of nail polish cause I wouldn't really choose anything like it. It's so... flashy. and very flamboyant.
It's interesting, really.
Collection Noir!
(I apologize for my horrible paint job. I was way too excited to paint them properly with utmost meticulousness and dexterity
whoa. did that just rhyme? HAHA)
I was hoping that Collection Noir would be a lot flashier and more sparkly than that.
But unfortunately it only looks sorta sparkly in flash pictures and from afar it looks
like any regular black nail polish.
for example:
just like a regular black nail polish.
and i'm sorry to say that you won't be seeing swatches for the rest of the nail polishes I bought, I was too tired to paint then remove them then paint again and remove them and then paint and YEAH YOU GET MY DRILL.
Hopefully in the future I'll show you swatches of Chocolate Taupe and Baby Pink Glitter!
OH AND MY VERDICT.
NYX girls polishes are probably one of the cheapest selections of nail polish on the website (www.nailfiesta.com), though of course, Elianto is a lot cheaper (but their colors are SO boring =.=) The NYX girls nail polish line has 144 colors. C R A Z Y. I had a TOUGH TIME choosing what I wanted. Seriously.
I practically everything. hahahaah.
And since they're not really the expensive ones like OPI you could say that the quality is mediocre. The formula could be improved (it's sticky and a bit hard to apply) but for 9 bucks I guess it's not bad. You cannot find any of these in Skinfood or Elianto. Or The Face Shop for that matter. NYX girls rocks, credits to how they have SO MANY COLORS.
Next nail polish I'm aiming at is the OPI New York City Ballet mini collection. Wanna get it for my birthday! hahahaha.
So I am guessing that is it. and yup. if you haven't noticed already.. i'm a nail polish freak :p
