O.P.I - Lucky Lucky Lavender

I have finally owned my very first bottle of O.P.I!!!!!! ♥♥♥

I bought it online and guess what, it's only RM20!! XD compared to the original price of RM69, hehehe~~ they were having a clearance that's why it was so cheap, so I can finally fulfill my dream of owning a bottle =P I do hope it's original though, haha!! Well, it does look like it is anyway.

I was so eager to try it on that as soon as my friend recieved the stock, I had to go out and 'yum cha' with her on that day to get my nail polish X) haha!! And, well, here's how it looks like after I apply:

My attempt at being a hand model, hehehe~~ how nice if I can find such jobs, just model hands and get paid, haha!!

Close up of the nail polish

Well~~ as you can see, it is kind of smooth, not like all those cheap nail polish which is super streaky. I love the glossy finish that it gives, makes your nails look like their salon done ;) But, well, for the price their selling (shall I remind you, RM69!!!) it had better be good. It's quite easy to apply on as well, just a few swipes and you're done. But you have to be a little quick, cause it'll dry of if you take too long (I guess they have a fast drying formula to it), but it shouldn't be a problem though.

But for me, personally, I don't find O.P.I all that it's hyped up to be. Well, for one, the colour is quite thin, even after 2 layers I could still see abit of uneven tone, you need about 3 layers. But for me, I normally prefer to apply a maximum of 2 layers, 3 layers is too thick and also because 2 layers gives a slightly translucent, natural look to your nails instead of an overly solid look. Another thing about O.P.I is that the ends chip off pretty quickly. After 1 day you could see slight chips at the corner of your nails and it's super annoying, you would be expecting better from such a brand. Maybe it's just my nails, I don't know, but I do have other polishes which stays for at least a couple of days before wearing off.

But, anyhow, I still love it, cause it makes my nails so shiny and glossy *bling bling* ( I love shiny stuff XD) It's still pricey though, so I don't think I could afford it, I shall find other alternatives. I heard that Skin Food is pretty good too, have yet to try it, and I found this brand from pasar malam called Miko, I've tried their nude colour and it's also super glossy!!! Not to mention it's only RM 5! Have yet to try other colours though, I shall write some reviews after I've tried some, hehe~~

Updates

I'm guessing nobody really reads my blog anymore, specially because most of my friends are not so into blog nowadays, and I've set my blog not to appear on google search, so I don't get random readers, haha!! Well~~ it's a good thing too, I can start rambling and no body would bother XD

Hmmm...... It's now my sem break and I'm staying home almost everyday, kind of lifeless huh? Why did I not get a job? heheh, don't ask, specially cause I have transportation problem.....

So~~ there's not much updates to my life, except that RAVE 2 is over a month ago, my grandma just passed away *sobs*, and I'm now the secretary for my Student Council!!! Installation was 2 days ago, so I have to leave my dear editorial team and say hello to a whole year of reports, stress and *gulp* (I dare not think of what else...).

Well, I applied for asst. treasurer (cause I don't want so much work, heheh), but I wouldn't mind taking up the treasury post if given, but not the secretary!!! T.T Eeeeeeeee...... I hate writing minutes, hate reports, and the most dreadful thing is I'll be in charge of giving the AGM report during the next Installation T.T I loath speeches...... Why!!!! Eunice, can I steal your post?? XD hahaha!! Oh well, I'll just have to belive in myself. I miss my editorial team though =( I loved my work, though I do get lazy sometimes, heheh. Samaan, make sure you take good care of my team kayz, if it starts to turn upside down I'll come after you, and Kim Mei, jaga him!!!! But I'm sure both of you would do an excellent job =)

Not much is coming up..... Seng Keat's birthday only I guess, other than that, not that I know of, haha!!

Toodles~~
