Elianto Sparkling Diva Racing Green swatches and review
One of the awesome polishes lovely Nikki kindly sent me in my suprise package I showed you yesterday was Elianto Sparkling Diva in Racing Green.
Racing Green is a dark spring green with gorgeous green and gold shimmer through it. I was worried it might stain (as a lot of greens do!) so I layered a thick coat over my underwear polish Misa High Waist Hue. Turns out I needn't have worried as it didn't stain at all. Application was a breeze - I really enjoy the Elianto formula and brush and dry time was good.
Close up:
Bonus bottle close up! Not only is the shade beautiful but it's such a pretty bottle too.
THANK YOU for fulfilling this lemming Nikki!! =D Elianto polishes are wonderful and I need to get myself to Malaysia pronto so I can browse the entire selection!
Have you tried Elianto polishes? If not you really should try and get your hands on some!! Thanks for looking as always!

Surprise package from Nikki!
The thing I love most about bloggging is the blogging community. It's very supportive and so much fun to be a part of! One of the lovely ladies I've had the pleasure of knowing is the lovely Nikki who I swapped with a while back. A few weeks ago she surprised me with a wonderful package filled with awesome polish and masks!! XD She also very sweetly included a few things for my sis too!
They were all so beautifully wrapped! I didn't want to open them and there were sooooo many of them I spent ages opening them all up!
SO many awesome Asian nail polishes! *squeals* These brands are hard to find even in HK let alone Sydney. I seriously have way too many polishes now LOL.
An army of Etude House. Check out the awesome matte bottles!
Nikki included her favourite Etude House nail polish remover and it smells WONDERFUL. Much better than Zoya Remove! Also some Etude House Dear Darling polishes.
More polishes including the amazing Elianto Racing Green which I'll be showing you tomorrow! The finishes on the polishes Nikki sent are all really interesting - shimmers, duochrome, matte - just the ones I love.
Nail art items!! I enjoy using the Nail Star Two Way Nail Art Pen & Brush and these colours are super fun.
Awesome masks including the Hello Kitty Sexy Look masks eeeeeeeeeek. I've wanted to try these for ages! Plus lipbalms from My Lip Stuff which my sis has laid claim to haha.
Some cute items from Malaysia! The keychain is of a traditional Kadazan dress which is of Nikki's race, hair clips that Nikki made and also cute mini ear caps =)
Thank you SO MUCH for your wonderful package Nikki!! You really shouldn't have spoiled me so ♥ I've been trying out a lot of the polishes and they are awesome!

Chinese New Year manicure
Hi ladies! Tomorrow (February 3) is Chinese New Year and I wanted to share with you my Chinese New Year Manicure I've been rocking to celebrate. I’m really disappointed that I wasn’t able to spend CNY in Hong Kong for the 2nd year in a row as the festivities and atmosphere at this time there are JUST AWESOME =D 2 weeks of celebrations?? Yes please count me in! Sydney CNY celebrations just do not compare at all unfortunately but I will still eat plenty of food hehe. I am busy cleaning and preparing for New Year celebrations tonight so this post will be light on words.
Here's what I used to create my mani:
Pinky: 2 coats of Elianto Glitter Shine Red with flower design from Essence image plate stamped using China Glaze Passion.
Ring finger: 3 coats of Ulta 3 lily white with flower design from Konad image plate s9 stamped using BYS Glamourpuss. Topped with a coat of China Glaze 5 Golden Rings.
Middle finger: 2 coats of OPI Red My Fortune Cookie with 福 (fortune) design from Essence image plate stamped with Konad Special polish in black. I then used Art Deco nail striper in gold glitter to freehand a french tip.
Index finger: 2 coats of OPI Glitzerland with Asian floral design from Essence image plate stamped using BYS Glamourpuss.
Thumb: 2 coats of Ozotic Pro Premium Holographic 511.
恭喜發財 - Kung Hei Fat Choy!

Elianto Thistle double bow NOTD
Hi ladies!!
My NOTD today is using wearing Elianto Colour Lacquer in Thistle which I received in my fantastic swap with Nikki.
Thistle is a beautiful pale lilac that looks almost pastel pink in some lighting. It is absolutely bloody beautiful!!! It makes my hands look super white or something and I can't get enough of the colour! It was hard to capture the lilac in it though unfortunately so the pic below looks more pinkish.
Application is pretty good - the brush is a good size and easy to work with, requiring very minimal cleanup. The formula like with most pale shades is a little streaky on so I did a thin 1st coat followed by a slightly thicker 2nd coat. Below is 2 beautiful coats without topcoat and it dried to a high glossy finish.
I konaded full nail design from Konad plate m79 using China Glaze Devotion. I then added the double bows from Fauxnad plate B09 (identical to Konad plate m3) using Konad Princess Polish in Violet Pearl.
Hope you like it! Here are some bonus pics of breakfast at Ikea I had a while ago but never got around to posting. You all know my love for all things Ikea! I'm constantly bugging the boy to go to Ikea for breakfast because it's just so cheap and cheerful. The hot breakfast is only $2.95!!! It used to be only $2 but it's still an absolute bargain, it would probably cost more to make yourself =p
Hot breakfast:
Cinnamon scroll and bread roll:
The boys coffee (with unlimited refills):
I also wanted to thank you all for the wonderful and positive response to my last post about my nail storage =) I'm glad you liked seeing my little nail area and storage! It's nice that I may have inspired some of you to tidy up your nail stash and given you some ideas on how to store your image plates and polishes =) I'm just a neat freak who HAS to have things organised just so and am by no means an expert!
I'm always on the look out for interesting ideas so I'd love to see your storage ideas too! If you come across a great idea or do a post yourself, leave me some link love in the comments of the previous post =) Also, if you have any requests shoot me an email or leave me a comment in any of my posts and I'll try my best.
Hope you all are having a good start to the week! Don't forget to enter my 200 followers giveaway here!

Swap with Nikki from .littlegreenheart.
Hi ladies! The last few days I've just been running out of time completely, I get to the end of the day and there's STILL so much to do >.< I haven't had a real chance to catch up on all your wonderful blogs but I will hopefully get to that =) On a good note, I received a lovely package in the post! The very sweet (and totally awesome!) Nikki from .littlegreenheart. emailed me a while back offering to do a polish swap with me. Of course I jumped at the chance!! Nikki lives in Malaysia and she offered to send me some hard to get polishes from Asian brands I have been dying to try .
Just look at all those beautiful polishes! Thank you SO much for the swap Nikki!! I've been admiring Elianto polishes for so long and now I can try them! I couldn't have picked the colours better myself =) And so beautifully wrapped too but I didn't photograph it because I was too excited and just ripped into the package!
Here's what she included:
In2it polishes in yumgum and jellibean. Totally digging the names of these, and the colours of course!
Elianto Colour polishes in Glitter Shine Red, Thistle and Turqoise. I saw Thistle and Turqoise on Nikki's blog and just lusted after them =) Thanks for crossing them off my list!
Elianto Sparkling Diva polishes in Alice Blue, Lilac and Shimmer Pink. Words cannot describe how gorgeous these are! The bottles are soooo darn pretty and the shimmer and colours are just lemming-worthy.
SkinFood Jojoba Pure Nail polishes in Coral Pink and I think the other is Apricot Gold. As you probably know I'm a sucker for cute bottles! These are no exception =p And the tops of these are made out of cardboard - so funky!
Nikki also very kindly included a handmade bracelet made by the Rungus tribe of Kudat, Sabah. I love beaded bracelets and the combination of colours on the bracelet is so funky =)
Excuse the very dry hand =(
I did a very quick mani using Elianto Sparkling Diva in Shimmering Pink. It is every bit as stunning on the nail as it is in the bottle!!
Shimmering Pink is a light pink loaded with silver shimmer. It's just such a pretty colour =) It glided onto the nail and the brush is awesome - no cleanup needed = BIG yay from me. It is kind of sheer though and you'd need 3 coats to get rid of VNL. Below is 2 coats so you can still see some VNL but I was impatient so didn't do another, however drying time was very quick so 3 coats wouldn't be an issue. Then I just quickly added some nail stickers that my workmate kindly gave me.
I bruised my index finger so please excuse the mark =(
Once again thank you SO much Nikki!! I'm dying to try all the colours out =) Please check our Nikki's blog .littlegreenheart.! She does fantastic manicures and I envy her ability to pull off bright, fun colours so well!
Thanks for looking!
