Wet n Wild Megalast Sugar Coat and 2% Milk Comparisons then Rhinestoned Mani!

Happy Wednesday everyone! I'm extremely happy today because I got my acceptance to University of Washington! Such an honor, they have a BEAUTIFUL campus, and not to mention, extremely close to where my dad lives too! So, definitely one of my top choices (:
As for today's post, I have a natural mani I wore to my dance competition that I want to show you guys. It features two very VERY similar polishes, Wet n Wild Megalast Sugar Coat, a very light lavender based pink jelly, and 2% Milk, a very light more beige toned nude jelly. In all the pictures below, I have on 2 coats of 2% Milk on all fingers except my ring finger which I have on 2 thick coats of Sugar Coat.

I feel that this picture captures how much more opaque Sugar Coat is!

Again, captures difference in opacity and also undertones.
 Below are pictures without the rhinestones haha :P You can definitely tell that Sugar Coat is more opaque, but honestly, their differences are VERY minute.

This is 1 coat under natural lighting. Looks almost identical, except for opacity.
 Here in the bottle, they look extremely different, you can see the more beige color of 2% Milk better in it's bottle, but it doesn't really translate onto the nail because it's a very sheer color.

All in all, I honestly think I don't need both of these, one is good enough haha. For me, the opacity at 2 coats is perfect because it gives a clean look without looking like I'm trying too hard, thanks to the slightly visible nail line.
That's it for today's posts, my sweethearts! Hope you're all having a fantastic week! Personally, I just wish March and April can just fly past, because 1) I'm so sick of highschool hahhaa, I have really bad senioritis! and 2) my beloved Jack哥哥, whom I mentioned a bit here, is coming back at the end of April and I can't wait! Heheheh, I'm off to do some homework now! Can't slack off, or I can't graduate :P
Byebye my lovelies~

OPI DS Opulence Reswatched!

Happy Tuesday everyone! I'm just living my March day by day hoping I get acceptances from colleges!
Today I have a preswatched polish for you guys called DS Opulence by OPI. I did a post about it before, here, but I don't think I did this polish justice. Honestly, it is one of my go-to polishes because it's safe and toned down, but at the same time, really sparkly and special! Such an amazing shapeshifter (: Lets get straight into it!

Opulence is a muted rose/mauve with speckles of shimmer in the shade/ indoor light, but under direct light, it turns into this gorgeous medium-deep rose with beautiful multi sized holo shimmer!
Middle finger 1 coat, rest two coats of DS Opulence, with flash. Look at that holo!
 One of the reasons I love this polish, the beautiful subtle holo shimmer! *o*


And here in the bottle, you can see a slight green duochrome, which is only apparent on the nails when you tilt it at extreme angles.


A bit of the green duochrome.
 Below, I will show you some more pictures of this polish in the shade, so you can really see how neutral/wearable it seems.


And then BAM, sunlight again~~~


Hehehe, I get so happy whenever I talk about this polish because 1) It reminds me of Jenni, and 2) My mom loves this polish as much as I do haha, beautiful beautiful beautiful polish (:
So glad to conclude a day talking about my favorite polish, makes me so happyyyy~
Thanks for reading, my lovelies~ I'll talk to you next time! :D

Fashion Friday Coral Formal! Plus My Favorite Pair of Heels :3

Happy Friday everyone! :3 I had a cooking presentation today, and also a publicity thing with the afterschool program I work at, so I figured I should dress up! But today, I'm not wearing a traditional black blazer, but I'm wearing a coral one! Hehehhe, dressing up makes me happy :P




And here's a super happy me showing off my favorite pair of heels! :D
 I wanted to take a close up picture of my skirt, but it didn't work out really well :| anyway, it's just a ruched mesh type material on top of a basic cotton skirt. Super comfy! Not restricting at all hahaha. And also, in the below picture, you'll notice that I have NO NAIL POLISH ON! I've decided to let my nails take a rest because honestly, they've been peeling and breaking a lot lately ): It's a really big commitment for me, because as you guys all know, I LOVE NAIL POLISH hahahah. But for the sake of my nails, I'm going to let them be bare for a while. Don't worry though! I have a few pre-swatched polishes that I want to show you guys, so I will have some nail polish blog posts up, but most will be fashion related. Sorry la >.<

Ruffly Blouse: Abercrombie & Fitch
Coral Blazer: Wet Seal
Black Skirt: Forever 21
Pink Bow Heels: Princess by Vera Wang

And here's one last camwhore shot before I leave :P
Hehehe, okay that's it for today! I'll talk to you guys soon, I have a dance performance again tomorrow so gotta wake up early!
Goodnight sweethearts
