Nails Inc!!

Hello lovelies :) I really wanted to share these nailpolishes with you all since I purchased them back in August!! The three nailpolishes are by Nails Inc and I absolutely love them!! I saw these at the Beauty and Spa Expo and bought 3 polishes for $25!  You can purchase these online at Asos or Beauty Bay.  My favourite one of the lot is "Shoreditch", I love pinks and reds so this neon pink definitely caught my eye! I was also quite fascinated with the blue polish "Baker Street" and I simply adore the 3D glitter polish "Sloane Street" (although it took a good 20 mins to get it off!)

The consistency, opaqueness and colour is amazing and I am excited to get my hands on more colours from Nails Inc! Check out the swatches below and let me know what you think :)

As always, I used Sally Hansen Maximum Growth base coat and Out The Door topcoat. Colours L-R: Baker Street, Shoreditch, Sloane Street

Natural makeup tutorial - "Pistol" featuring the Naked 2 palette

I have recently fallen in love with the Naked 2 palette all over again and decided to do a tutorial mini-series featuring the metallic shades in the palette.

Today I am showcasing "Pistol" a beautiful dark grey which is very versatile - the colour that ends up on your eyelids depends on the brush you use!  For most of the eyeshadow application, I used the Sigma E25 which is my all time favourite eyeshadow brush (I only have one, I really need to order a back-up incase anything happens to this one...) By using this brush, it creates a wash of the Pistol eyeshadow all over the eyelid which isn't too heavy for a daytime makeup look :)

The photos below are without flash and with flash, respectively.



Products used:
Naked 2 palette
The Balm tinted moisturiser
Garnier roll-on concealer
Inglot face powder
Urban Decay eyeshadow primer potion
Pixi nude palette

Jazushi in Surry Hills

This year I spent my birthday with the girls at Jazushi - a cozy Japanese restaurant offering live jazz. I loved the food, the company and the entertainment, it was definitely a memorable night :)  We ordered the set menu which was just absolutely divine - Japanese food is just sooo good!

First course was Salmon and Kingfish Carpaccio.

Second course was Green Tea Noodle salad. This was honestly the best salad I have ever tasted. The dressing was super delicious. I could have easily eaten another plate of this!!


Third course was the Grilled Silver Cod - melt in your mouth goodness!!


Fourth course was the famous camembert tempura - everyone loved the texture and the taste of this :)

Fifth course was a selection of sushi and nigiri

Sixth course was the JFC (Jazushi Fried Chicken) which came with a "namban" type of sauce.

Seventh course was the Kakuni Kurobuta Pork Belly.

Eighth course was the Wagyu Sirloin steak.

Ninth course was dessert! Creme Brulee with cheese cake and a green tea icecream!

Spring OOTD #1 and Lookbook.nu!

I wasn't sure if I wanted to upload my first spring OOTD on Youtube - the lighting was just horrendous and editing a video is not like editing photos, you can't fix the colours or vibrance on my video editing software. Boo.  Nevertheless I decided to post it up so here it is (so just ignore the terrible lighting).

As this is the first OOTD for Spring I have opened a Lookbook.nu account! Find me HERE.




What I'm wearing!
Saba heels
J Brand jeans
Sportsgirl lace top
Botkier bag
House of Harlow necklace
Swarovski earrings
