Manicure Demonstration - Summer Lace

Hi all!
Here is my current manicure and I'm in love with it.

Isn't it too cute for the beach ;)
My thumb nail reminds me of that piece of cheese little mouses love haha.

Products used.

Base color: Peachy Keen by China Glaze;
Lace and dots: P01 by Eclipse (which is a korean brand).

the oooh-la-la glossy shiny gel-like finish is of course created by
Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat!
because i love love love my manicure and i want it to last longer,
i did three thick top coat!
that caused a salesperson asked me if my nails are done with gel
and that question made me happy.
i also used their non-yellowing clear base coat.

I used the largest-sized dotting tool for dotting (my thumb nail) and creating the lace.

Realized that I liked using random caps as my polish paint plate...


Bottom line: Cute, classy, perfect manicure for summer! :)

Nail Polish Review: Demure by Revlon

Well if you ask me, I will very much like to do swatches and reviews on nail lacquers, because I am simply another nail freak in the world! Can't live with my bare nails honestly :P

But I am actually not planning to work my blog as a swatch blog (for the time being) because I do not always do my nails perfectly (and sometimes my cuticle can look horrible) as I may not have the time and mood! (have to admit I'm such a pessimistic person, sadly. lol.) Plus, there are already so many good bloggers out there (I just can't stop loving them) to help all of us to do the right choices on buying new polishes. So, for now, I'm going to keep my blog as a personally record of my little nail art. Hope you all will love my nails hehee.

Here is my current manicure.


Demure by Revlon
It actually looks more like a coral pink in real life.

The name of the polish isn't quite a perfect fit, the colour is not Demure at all... Passionate if I were to name this.

there are actually gorgeous pinkish micro glitters. my camera didn't capture it well.



Bottom line: I would still recommend this because it's such a beautiful color for summer. The formula this time is quite thick and can cause little bubbles. I will probably add thinner to it once my thinner order has arrived!
