Nice Things To List: kure bazaar

Hello there!

It's time to show off some bling bling! Today I chose to do a Queen theme for the letter 'Q'. Now, I needed to have the most shiny bright in-your-face polish because I guess that's how a Queen feels like, bold and confident!

So I chose without much hesitation, Chloe and Bella "Titanium" which is a strong silver reflective flakie which I was sent a long time ago for review. I also used a dark blue shade from Kure Bazaar called "Queen" (how apt right??) for the base color of my pointer and baby finger.

For the pointer and baby fingers, I had on two coats of "Queen" and then wiped most of "Titanium" from the brush and lightly stroke the flakies over the blue. I didn't want to have to much because my middle and ring fingers had on a full base, three coats of "Titanium" as the base.

For the two images, I did reverse stamping with BornPrettyStore.com's BP L007, which was also sent for review a long time ago. I used Konad Black stamping polish to do this. I did normal stamping but I didn't transfer the image, instead I added a layer of top coat over the image on the stamper after letting it dry for a while.

Then after a minimum of 45 minutes, I peeled them off and placed them on my nails using Glisten & Glow "HK Girl Top Coat" but using very little product to stick the decal onto my nails.

I then decided to mattify the whole look using Revlon "Matte Top Coat" because, one just has to matte all the flakiesss!!!!!!

So here's some great macro shots I managed to capture ;) Hope you like it!

Hello hello! It's something new to the blog, first time doing the fishtail design! I first saw this over from Lucy's Stash with a great pictorial too. For this manicure, I would say it is revolved around the glitter accent which I used Sephora X - Turbulence.

This polish topper has black and bright light teal blue glitter from micro sized to big hexagons! Here's a delicious macro shot for your eyes *winks*

I laid it over OPI - My Boyfriend Scales Walls (yaaaas again) and hence thought I should use white, blue and black for the color combination of my fishtail design. Ta-da!

I used Kure Bazaar - Turkoise for the blue and Barry M - Espresso for the black (:

My lines may not be really perfectly straight, but I like it either way so oh well :P I also used Revlon - Matte Top Coat to give this look a rather unique look. All the photos here are mattified! I'm loving how it turned out on macro hehe!

And here is the overall look of my manicure for this week!

I do very much love this combination, thanks to the inspiration of the glitter! Tell me what you think, cause initially I was afraid the bright blue glitters won't go well with a white base LOL.

Hello hello! Let's take a trip down to the safari!

Nah, just kidding... Here's a cute lil' elephant for you! Not just any elephant, but a blue one *wink wink* This mani was inspired by TrendyPolish. I did some alternations tho!

Starting with the chevrons, I did a base of OPI - My Boyfriend Scales Walls (duh) and did (rather ugly) freehand chevrons using Kure Bazaar - Queen and Turkoise using a fine brush.

For the glitter accent I used the glorious China Glaize - Water You Waiting For. Oh, so lovely... *swoons*. I used the same blues for the elephant and then for my pinky I used small dotting tool in the colors to create some polka dots, alternating the color in columns!

I love the overall combination of the patterns, glitter and elephant, all very fun and cute :D

Dotity, dotty, dot!

Well well, it's time to get my brains going cray-cray! In this manicure I was struggling to visualize which dots should be placed at which areas because there are just so many DOTS!

I used Kure Bazaar - Hipster as the base color and OPI - I Just Can't Cope-acabana for the dots. I used a medium sized and small sized dotting tool for this mani.

I am pretty sure I followed a fellow nailstagrammer but I honestly lost my screenshot of her design! So if you do know who the clever person is, do let me know :)

Tbh, the main purpose of this mani was to try out the color combination. No lying here on the blog! Hence I thought this nail art was a good opportunity to find out! I think that yes, yellow and gray goes pretty nicely together, don't you think?

Alrighty readers! I am back!

It has been a pretty long while, hasn't it?! Well, I have been really busy lately so here I am back in full swing. YES, FULL SWING! And I mean with a video tutorial! I seldom do that do I, especially a pretty long one on YouTube and not just some 15 seconds tutorial on Instagram LOL!!

Getting back to the mani... Here I have a dry marble nail art that I was pretty much inspired to do becuase of IG@yorkbeauty! She basically does hella loads of dry marble and I had some feels for them so I decided to come up with some of my own :D

Here is the look that I came up with. It looks messy, but I guess that is what makes dry marbling fun right?

Here's a beautiful macro shot for all you readers out there that share the joy of macro babies *drooooools*

Now, for this manicure, I used Kure Bazaar polishes that Mom got for me from France. They're Queen and Turkoise. I do love this color combination, I mean by now you guys know I'm a big sucker for blues :P

And as always, video for the last, enjoy the step by step tutorial :D Basically in short, I did some blobbicure at the beginning then used a thin brush to create lines down and across the dots on my nail and that is about it! Tell me what you think of this video, would love to hear some feed back!
Butttt, if you ever want a written step by step tutorial, here it is!
1. Apply base coat 2. Apply one coat of dark blue polish 3. Let dry completely 4. Apply second coat of dark blue polish thickly 5.

Let dry completely 8. Apply top coat

Hello there, readers!

Today I have a new brand of nail polish to swatch! It was bought in Paris when my parents went on a vacation earlier in September this year. The brand is Kure Bazaar, a never-before-heard polish (at least to me).

Today's color is a very fall appropriate shade, Hipster. The reason I had this color on is because I wore a grey scaled outfit. A grey top, a black and white striped leggings and my favorite dark blue jeans textured Converse.

It was a last minute decision, an hour before I was suppose to leave house (9.30am) for school I decided my nails shall be painted! *flips hair*

Anyway, here's my mani featuring my outfit taken at the bus stop.

Moving on to the actual swatches and review!

May I warn you that all swatches are in ONE COAT. I repeat, ONE! The coverage was excellent and formula was really great, this polish is basically flawless.

Hipster is a grey shade with hints of blue undertones. Under some lighting blue shows more while in others the grey shows stronger.

I wore this for four days and there was no chipping. I had on Glisten & Glow's HK Girl topcoat to bring out extra shine.

Overall, a really great polish with really great quality. I dare say this is one of the best polish quality (apart from a-England Camelot).
