NOTM: Anchors Away!

My Nail Of The Moment!
Been wanting to do a design like this since my exams ended but didn’t have time to sit down and work on it!

Here are the colours/polishes I used for this look.

China Glaze Hey Sailor! for the red, and First Mate for the blue.

I ordered my polishes from Timtam00 previously! (the colours I wanted wasn’t available anymore but she helped me to bring them in again) And she’s having 20% off all blog prices (except for Blaze polishes at 10% off & Gelish Starter Kits) during this GSS season! Just need to quote ‘felicianeo’ in your email header when making your purchases to be entitled to the discount!

Apply the blue on the ring finger, and reds on the other fingers.

Using a white striper (nail polish that has thin brushes), apply the stripes to the reds.
I really think I don’t look good in dark colours, and I think the white stripes instantly brightens up the look!

Here’s the thin brush polish I used to do the stripes. Misa Nail Art polish which I got at a flea.


As for the anchors, you’ll need a dotting tool! Follow this steps and you should be fine!
I struggled a little for my right hand though. Need really steady hands!


And tadah! You’re done with pretty and eye-catching nails. One of my favourite nail arts till date! (Okay, by right should be white base and red stripes but I didn’t have red striper so this is the best alternative I guess!)

And don’t my nails remind you of this super pretty STEAMCREAM design!! Coincidentally, STEAMCREAM is currently having their 3rd Twitter Giveaway and they’re giving away THIS DESIGN!!! (The name of the tin is called Transat btw, and can be ordered at their online store from beautycarousel.com HERE. Free shipping for local orders, and same price as in retail stores.)

Same thing as their first giveaway! Just need to follow them on their Twitter (@STEAMCREAMSG) and RT one of their tweets! That simple! Giveaway ends on tomorrow, Sunday, 11.59pm!

I like how the sides come with small little nautical designed motifs! So cute!

Susan joined the first giveaway after reading my post and she won the tin!! So you never know when you’ll be really lucky!

Good luck!! (:

The greatest joy in life.

I think the greatest joy in life is to be able to eat good food. Like honestly. Whenever I’m bored, the first thing I think of is what to eat. What to eat over the weekends when I meet my boy, what are some of my food cravings… And I start visualising the food taste and I crave for it even more. Oh, T always say that I stress over the weirdest things.. Like what to have for lunch. Hahaha. And when I’m having my lunch I’ll ask my parents what’s for dinner. I like to look forward to good food. It keeps me happy.

So here’s some food spam pics! I always eat the same stuffs so I hardly post much food pics. (If not it’d be the same type of food every time haha) So since I’ve new food pics, I shall share them here and tempt you all with nice food.
(Actualy it’s 11.25pm now as I’m typing this and I’m really hungry!)

Went to Thai Express to celebrate early Mummy Day!


I don’t really fancy Thai food, but Thai Express is one of the Thai restaurants I don’t mind going.

Ehhh some pancake thingy. Reminded me of french toast for some reason!

Seafood Tom Yum Soup. Usually Tom Yum soup (from Hawker Centre) is orange/red in colour, but I guess the authentic ones are clear in colour!

Mango Smoothie. We saw them digging out chunks of fresh mangoes straight from the fruit!! Really thick.

Phad Thai. Always order this when I’m here! So if you don’t fancy Thai food but your friends insist on having Thai cuisine, order this!


Stuffed chicken wings. This is a really interesting dish. Somehow the chicken has no bones, and it seems like they dug out all the meat and left the skin, and replaced the insides with pork or something?? Don’t really like this. The spices taste is too (dunno how to describe) for my liking!!

I miss the prawns spring rolls they used to have. ): ): And I remember their chicken wings weren’t so weird last time!! Where did the good food go!


Anyway, Gary shared with us about the story behind this iPhone cover…
He was at the 7-Eleven with his friends and this foreigner (Caucasian I think) was there. And I think he and his friends were talking about the iPhone cover that was probably sold at 7-Eleven, and the foreigner said to them: “Oh you like it? Take it! I’ll pay for it!”

And apparently he appeared a little drunk haha. Okay, don’t ask me why they accepted it as well.


Met my fave boy before dinner to walk around!

Since when Chippy changed their packaging! They became so hip some more got Chinese translations as well!

Tried this curry chicken thingy. Not bad! Looks like it’s a lot, but it’s actually overloaded with flour and crumbs. Will get sick of the taste after awhile.


iMac’s camera is so clear!!!! My next laptop would probably be a Mac I guess…

♥♥♥

I think my posts are getting really sucky. I’m so sorry about that cos I’m so busy!! I initially thought that I’d be able to blog more during my hols but no!! I’ve my internship + FYP to do (Yes we’re starting FYP during hols cos the prof wanted us to) so I’m really swarmed with work. And my blog bank is getting lesser and lesser and I’m running out of things and pictures to blog about! And my life is so uninteresting now. So… Please bear with me? ):

P.S. To the girl who’s still waiting for my safety pin tutorial…. I’m really sorry!! Wanted to do a video but I think that will take forever for me to film one. So I’ll probably do up a picture post! Within the next 2 weeks I promise!! :/

Sparkle and Light.

Here to blog about my new hair! Went down to Shunji Matsuo @ 313 to fix my hair straight after my last exam paper cos it was in a huge mess!

Here’s my ‘Before’ hair! Long, heavy and shapeless locks.

My stylist Eddie, working his magic.


He helped me to snip off quite abit of my hair so that it’s lighter!!

Dyed my hair to an Ash Brown shade! Nothing too bright cos I wanted something more natural.

Dyeing in progress! Trimmed my fringe too! I like the length now. (:

Anyway, Eddie was really patient in ensuring that every strand of hair is coated evenly so that the colour would turn out even! I think I was being very talkative that day and kept blabbering and asking all sorts of questions hahaha.


Picture I snapped of the interior while waiting for the dye to set in! Bright colours make me happy! Anyway, the place was rather crowded for a weekday and Eddie mentioned that it’s even more crowded on weekends!

Eddie did a 2 step hair treatment for me too! To help give moisture to the hair for repair.

Steamed my hair too to open the hair cuticles for maximum absorption.

I always get really amused by how this thing balloons up. I swear it’s twice the size of my face when inflated.

Blow-drying my hair in progress!!

I can never blow dry my hair well myself. No patience and skills. That’s why you need a professional to do it for you!

My hair has more shape now and feels so much lighter!! Head doesn’t feel like it’s weighed down. Maybe I should have cut it before exams so I could think better. Haha.


Was given Shampoo + Conditioner from the same treatment range to try out too!! Supposed to give the hair more moisture + helps lock in the colour better. Have been using it ever since and I really like the shampoo!!! Makes my hair really smooth and doesn’t tangle it up while shampoo-ing unlike other shampoos.


And this is how my hair looks like without professional blow-drying!! Taken 2 days after my cut! Not bad right!

Eddie was saying that my hair length shouldn’t be too long (nothing longer than this) to look fresher! I think my face looks sharper too!! I told him to cut my hair in a way that will make my face look more V-Shaped cos I have a really round face hahaha! (Just that you can’t tell in pics)

If you like my hair and want a haircut/chemical treatment, look for Eddie!! (Higher price for master stylists though!) I read on their FB Page that they’re having a GSS promotion! 20% off all hair chemical services (Colors, Treatments, Perms, Straightening), only applicable for Master Stylists! (Eddie’s a master stylist!) Valid by prior appointments only and promotion is from May 7th – June 7th.

(Please call them up to check with them on details on the promo!)

Shunji Matsuo @ 313

Tel: 62380226

You might want to call for appointments especially on weekends cos they might be packed!!

Ending off with a picture I took on the day itself and posted on my FB! And I’m actually surprised by the number of ‘likes’ it got! So I suppose that’s good!! (:

(Iphone front camera sucks big time btw!)

May all of you have good hair day everyday! Haha. Toodles till the next post!! (:
