Wabbit yeah

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

Doing a CNY kinda portrait drawing but not totally done with it yet. Anyway, may everyone have a healthy and prosperous new year! May the rabbit be gentle on us :D

My first week of CNY nails.

Nah, a pic of me and my not so new dress and curls again! But not very used to curls nemore. Feel a bit too mature with them. But they still go better with dresses. My bangs are overgrown, but thank goodness to this video, I learned to style them! :D

Till I update the drawing, Happy CNY again! :D

1.1.11

Happy 2011 everyone! I hope you all had a great celebration last night. 

2011 is here, and even though it was only a few hours away from last year, and that another year is just another number, it still feels like something new, a new 'time', a fresh day, another chance, a starting line. I still feel pretty drained from the past year, but I'm so gonna inject myself with optimism, and prepare myself for the best/worst.

Looking back 2 years ago, everything was different. I too feel very very different. How I'd like to stay back there, be forever young and innocent. But without getting here, maybe, I wouldn't know how to appreciate everything that much now no? Never mind

Anyway,  I found out I made resolutions on the eve of 2009! Completed half of them by 2010, then completely neglected everything throughout 2010. 

So Imma keep track of those 10 resolutions, and hopefully, manage to complete them and be my ideal self. hahaha. :)

Oh, here are some of my holiday nails. :)

New Year nails

Christmas Nails

Christmas nails which I ruined on Christmas eve >_<.

Till next time xoxo

I liveee(d)

Hello all :D A picture to bring the Art of Daphy back to life! My 2010 Prom nails!

So sorry for my absence. It was quite a long emo, confusing, self discovery, pre-quarter life crisis (maybe), bla bla bla phase. The things I went through, or might still be going through, is so much like what one of my favorite bloggers, sweatlee.com is in. I feel like I understand everything she writes, all her feelings and thoughts that she expressed. The situation's different but the feeling feels somewhat similar. And the comments on those emo posts show that alottt of people go through this. All I know is, right can seem wrong and wrong can seem right, that you'd suddenly not know what is right and what is wrong anymore. One can get sooo lost and down, we'd wanna rip our heart out, stab it a few times over, and try to staple it back T_T. The guilt, the misery, the confusion, the wants, the needs, the could haves, the should have beens, could really bring one to the edge of the cliff on tip toes, wait there, and decide whether or not to lean forward. T_T 

But life does go on, and the wind will push us back on our feet. And we know we have to grow up and get over ourselves, and be better than that. Hence, I'm smiling again and hopefully, everyone else that are and might go through all this be strong. Life in 2010 has been really harsh, for most people I know. But, we'll walk this road together, through the storm, whatever weather, cold or warm, Just let you know that, you're not alone, holla if you feel like you've been down the same road (Eminem 2010). >_<.

So, since I'm back, hopefully there'll be more art, happier art, and pictures. Getting my new phone in a week HOPEFULLY. So desperately need a camera. I realized I blog so much less without one! 

Wow, since I've typed so much already, I'll just leave all other things till next time lah, lol. Good night.

itsbeena WHILE

It's been a while!

But I'm still alive and kicking! Fighting all of life's challenges with my awesome martial Art of Daphy! MUAHAHHA *hopeful music in the background*

>_<.

Anyway, took a couple of pictures of the past weeks on various outings and events BUT, don't feel like uploading them because the all picture's quality's awful T_T. Pains of not owning a tiny digital camera anymore. There are other good pics though, that are a bit long overdue, causing one to not have the mood to blog about them anymore T_T

As for my artsy side, stopped drawing/ painting/ pianoing since classes started. It's the 6th week already and I've been feeling busy from the very first day.

Nail art however, is still a weekly thing thank god. :D

And I recently stumbled upon this awesome French nail art site! http://nail-art.over-blog.fr/

I LOVE the designs they have! You can find the tutorials on YouTube too! Check out their Gallery. I'm so in love with the designs. Gonna attempt them or get inspirations from them soon. Muahahaha..

That's all for now. Till the next time! Byes

Color my Cwabbie

Above is my first time trying out this kiddie coloring thing :D It's so FUN! 

Met Agnes and friends after a movie and MBO and saw them coloring cute little pictures with these paint bottles on these really short tables. The colors were so bright and the pictures so cute that my eyes widened with interest! Then, I had to try this thing out because Aggy said I can paste it on smooth surfaces such as glass and laptops. When I heard 'laptop', I immediately ran into the store and got myself one of the lil pics.

 First, you choose a design. It's something like a rubbery frame that the sales assistants will place on this thin metal board. Then, you fill in the frame with these bright colorful paint thingys. Finally, after you're done, you hand it back to the sales person and they will oven-bake it for one minute and woarah

SO effin' cute! and the color's so bright! love love love!

Stuck it on my laptop :D Finally, I think my purple laptop don't look too disgusting anymore lol.

You guys and girls who still have a heart as young as mine, can head over to the lil kiddy artsy stores in front of MBO to try this out! tee hee!

And here's another nail art design I recently came up with. With some inspiration of course heh.

It's rather complicated but I like it. I call it Fall because of the red leaves and drops of white snow. :D

...modnaR

The week passed by in a blink of an eye. It will be the 2nd week of classes soon. I think the holidays were so good, it gave me so much time to do everything I wanted and needed to do, until it got me so bored.. And now that school has started, all my mind thinks about doing is, homework. :D Hope this doesn't fade away too soon!

Oh yeah, sold my little white baby, the Sony T2... Cos Imma get a better one soon! yay~ 

Got caught up with Pretty Little Liars too, finished the first 10 episodes in three days thanks to Lorna who's been feeding me dramas. Yum! This one, compared to Gossip Girls, is so much more frustrating T.T It even creeps me out sometimes because it involves a dead person. Can't wait till Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries and Glee starts again! aaa~ oh and 90210.. Oh no! This is me getting over excited over many things at once again >_<.

Tried sitting in the FIAT X19 on a sunny Sunday with the top dowm, Dammmnnn was it hot! But when the car moved it didn't feel that hot la, very windy.. But the sun still shines. Thank goodness for sunblock lol.

See how bright the sky is! Night time is way better with the top down.. Cause it's cooler, and above you, will only be stars and the moon ;)

Sweeter nails for the weekend. Light purple base. Shimmering purple grid, and light pink flowers with a silver rhinestone in the middle.

Till next time! bye

Nail art and stuff

Ello! Today Imma share with you some things I discovered from using this product:

The Skin Food Nail Lavender Remover. To remove nail polish, not your nails >_<. 

It was given to me by Agnes , still don't get why she bought it though cos she doesn't use it haha, but, much appreciated! Thank you Aggy! 

Well, the point of sharing this is because, before using this, I was using the RM2.90 nail polish remover available at Cindy stores or any cheap accessory shop. I was satisfied with it because it was strong and removes polish well. I didn't bother to try anything else, especially the more expensive type, cause I thought, what's the point right.

But after using this, I felt like such a fool :( I'm not sure how much the bottle of Skin Food nail polish remover costs because it was given to me, but I'm sure it's slightly more expensive, BUT it is sooooooooo much better than the cheap Cindy ones! It not only does NOT dry up your nails and skin around it, it also smells nice and removes very smoothly! Just a few gentle swipes is enough! Therefore, definitely less harm done to your nails and cuticles!

Conclusion, if you paint your nails as often as I do, try to take better care of them by using products with more quality. :D 

Oh, and I'm trying to keep to this routine of leaving nail polish on for not more than 4 days? So, Imma paint nails every Fridays and wipe them off by Tuesday to let em breathe. Hopefully I'd be disciplined enough heh.

Since we're on the nails subject, this is the current nail art I did and am still wearing hehe. It's only Monday!

Did a rounder tip this time cos got kinda sick of the usual flat tips. A bit more of a challenge to make it a symmetrical bullet but it was worth it! Fingers actually looked longer because of the shape haha. Did a simple pink base with my Nature Republic pink polish, and drew tiny flowers and curves with a very light pink Elianto using a nail art brush. Then added a bit of white for the 3D effect and dotted on a few very small sized rhinestones for the center of the flowers. Pleased with how it turned out considering not using any samples to follow this time. heh.

This one was more complicated. Challenged myself to this after finding my favorite pink from Nature Republic hehe. Was a messy attempt >_<. Design's from a Youtube video.

I liked this design lots! It's so neat yet so pattern-full. From the same youtube vid as above.

Haha simply did the toenails to go with it. My toenails are always very very short because I wear a lot of cover ups. Especially sports shoes hehe.

The glamorous nails. I love zebra patterns! And the dark purple made it look classy in my opinion. Red should do well in replacing the purple I think. Maybe I would loose the bling next time. Will do another version of this when my nails grow longer hehe.

Till next time. Tata~

Heart Sales!!

Helloooo! Here's a short post on some shopping goodies! :p

Walked around Spring quite a few times this week and stumbled upon several good deals :D

We all know the end of season sales had been going on for sometime now but I didn't expect Charles and Keith to be on sale too! Until the day before yesterday when I was walking around Spring with Aggy and Elaine that I felt the urge to show Elaine the pair of heels I wanted so bad for months now from Charles and Keith which costed RM165 smthn D:

But to my surprise! All the shoes were on sale. And my heels were 70% off! omfg-joy-to-the-world-heaven-fell-upon-me. Howeverrr the pair I wanted was out of size! /dark-clouds-shadowed. Butttt, there was a slightly similar pair, which had a more blunter tip than the one that I originally wanted... The design is a slightly similar due to the Oxford ties on the top, so, BUY!!! RM47+ only. Such a good buy, so happy with myself and the patience I had for months now wtf

Nah my heels: 

:D For casual and formal. Oh the feeling of getting new shoes, so delightful, self fulfilling, dream come true and everything, So happy. muahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaaa >_<.

Oh ya, the flats in C&K however does not have such awesome discounts I wonder why. The brown strappy studded flats I got beginning of the year is still above RM100 :(((

Anyway, other stuff

Just tried this out. Nature Republic's Black Head Scavenger Oil Peeling Gel. Yeah, its this oil based gel that you rub on your blackheads every few times a week. it's supposed to slowly dissolve and pull out your skin's impurities. I think it's not too bad, shall wait for the results in a few more weeks, but I was very successful with the pore pack yesterday after using this. :D It's on 20% discount now, good time to try it out cos it's only close to RM40 now :D

2 Lovely nail colors I've been looking for for sometime now. Nature Republic's Pink: FRD 303 and white FWH001. Both shimmering, both very rich colors. The pink is just so beautifully sweet and sassy at the same time, just the pink I've been searching so long for, and the white is perfect for a glossy French Manicure! It is a thick rich shimmering white, like 2 times stronger than the Elianto's one. yum! Best of all, it's 50% of now for both! So I got both of them for only RM15.90. How much more awesome can they get. :D~

And I totally forgot about the Revlon Color Stay review!

All I can say is, I LOVE this foundation. It's rich, it has awesome coverage and it can make skin as er "contoured" T__T as mine look (almost) flawless! Especially in pictures! muahahahaahaa. It also lives up to it's ColorStay name cos it really stays like for a long time. I even wore it to the beach and got into the water and out, it still stayed!! (at least I think it did cos my face didn't look blemished after I got outta the sea water). Yeah, but every normal day, you can expect it to stay till you get off work or till the late evenings.

However, I won't use it everyday because it is quite thick and won't wanna suffocate my skin too much. Still sticking to Blemish Balms aka BB creams. ;)

There, my two cents. Enjoy :D

Pink n white ❤

Love my new nails :D Just because it's light. I really love light colours very much. I wanted to do a whitish design but did pink instead. It's a nearly similar design to the previous dark purple one but these have flowers on instead :D

How I did the whole thing:

1.) Paint 3/4 of my nail in pink. Left 1/4 of the lower triangle blank without nail polish.

2.) Use nail art Silver nail polish and drew 2 lines to smooth out the pink edge.

3.) Dot 5 white dots in a circle. 

4.) When white dots are semi dry, use toothpick to pull lines between the dots, facing inwards. Hence, shape of flower is formed.

5.) Dot middle of flower with silver.

6.) Coat whole nail with a transparentlayer.

The End. :D

Neat and simple.

Just watched a video on using powder to do acrylic nail art. Can't wait to buy some and try to make a flower :D
Nights now. xoxo

Flexbrush nail polish, I think...

Yeah, can't really tell what's the name of it, but it's made in the USA. I got this a few days ago from the nail supplies store beside Pick n Pack. Awesome place, has everything you need for ur perfect nails. 

Anyway, about this nail polish. I first knew about this nail polish in a Youtube video from LOVE4NAILS if I remembered correctly, or it might be from another person I followed.. hmmm, nvm, She is good I tell ya, she comes up with all sortsa awesom nail art designs that I *heart* much!

So, at first I thought this nail polish is only available like, not in Kuching. But, I stumbled accross it in the store and I was so freggin' excited. It was retailed for RM35 but I was given a discount till RM20 :D

So what's so great bout this nail polish? Well, I think it's awesome cos it has a sharp tip brush unlike the regular nail polish, so I think it's meant for designing, like drawing lines or little stuff. And the silver colour is really intense. See:

The silver is really bright and thick and sparkly *love. Really brightens up the entire design.

And I am able to do fine strokes with the brush *thumbs up up up

So, it's awesome. I'm gonna have so much fun with this in the future of my nail painting ^^.

This, is a water-based eye makeup remover, made from deep sea water! ooO! I bought this cos I used to use their cleansing makeup remover thing before, which was cheap and pretty good. The brand is Mandom Beauty I think, from Japan I think >_<. Found in guardians. This eye make up remover too isn't very expensive and can really remove waterproof mascara, including my Majolica Majorca! *satisfied*

That's all fer now, really exhausted. Yay tmr is Saturday! Nights

Dam dee dum!~

Wokays, I am slacking a lot. I must admit, I kinda like lazing around doing nothing. Feeling so useless. Damn the holidays. Thank goodness school is starting in a week! Oh heart heart heart uni life. Like seriously! Ever since Foundation till now, I've been loving life a lot more. :D

Anyway, my blog has a new design yay. White. I like white or bright coloured backgrounds because I feel fresh and clean and happier whenever I look at them compared to a darker background. :) Hope you guys like it.
Oh, about my friends links, I have to slowly search for them again as I lost them all.. So.. haha.. if you friends whose links I have missed out, just drop by the chat box yea :D

So these days, I've been up to 2 books! Sophie Kensella's Shopaholic Abroad and Shopaholic Baby which I borrowed from Adeline :D.
Argh! I'm have been in the begining of Shopaholic Abroad for quite sometime already because usually, before I really get addicted to a book, I gotta get through the first quarter. If the first quarter didn't manage to magnet me, it will take forever for me to finish the book. >_<. And now Lorna just surprised me with Eclipse today. OMG OMG OMG. I was so delighted as I so loved the New Moon book very very much. I think I might just dig further into Eclipse before the Shopaholics. T.T Sorry Ade if I take a bit longer >_<. However, I am DETERMINED to finish these 3 books within this week or next cos as Henry said, classes are starting like NEXT WEEK! *stress* The other thing I've been up to is.. NAILS! hehehee~~ Learned a skill or 2 from YouTube! Just type, 'Nail Art' and you shall be showered with all sortsa videos on nail art :D This is my latest design which I'm wearing now:

The flowers I learned how to make on YouTube with nail polish and a toothpick.
I didn't colour the base because I wanted a cleaner and more simple look to my nails now. So, all I did was put 2 bright coloured flowers. Simple.

The first time I watched the videos I learned how to make these dramatic flowers:

And the red flower came out as a pretty successful experiment. Tho, I am still not totally loving the colour combination on it.

And this was what I had on me last night. haha:

Used up a lot of nail polish remover last night >_<. Henry didn't like the dark purple though. He said it looked like some disease wtf! And I got tired of it within a few hours. I guess it was a bit too complicated and colourful. Anyway, that's about it, should sleep earlier to prepare myself to face early mornings next week :D Nights!
