Essence Choose Me! NOTD and a tag
HAPPY NEW YEAR ladies! I hope everyone is having a great start to the year and had loads of fun on NYE =) Essence Choose Me! has been on my wishlist for quite some time and I was so happy to receive it in my Xmas package from Christina! It's a dupe for the more expensive OPI Catch Me in Your Net and Zoya Charla which I didn't pick up last year.
Choose Me! is an awesome blue/teal polish with green and gold shimmer. It's a stunning colour and can look more blue or more green depending on the lighting. As with other Essence Colour & Go polishes, it applied smoothly and the brush was easy to use. Below is 2 coats without topcoat.
Close up:
I then added some dazzlings from the Essence wheel I received from Christina in our last swap and also some blue and silver rhinestones.
It's a gorgeous polish but I had some issues with removal - it stained my fingers blue!! Did anyone else have this issue? I was in flap about it and soaking my fingers in acetone didn't work and neither did soap. In between laughing at me, my sister suggested I try toothpaste and thankfully it worked a treat. I used a pea sized amount of toothpaste and scrubbed my fingers for a good couple of minutes and my fingers returned to normal colouring. Thanks to my sis for this great solution!
Christina also tagged me so I thought it would be appropriate to do it in this post since she sent me this lovely polish =) Some random facts about me:

8 questions tag x 2!
Hi ladies!
Just wanted to let you know that I've added formspring to my blog as I'm getting more questions and what better way to answer them all in one place. So if you have any questions for me or just want to know me a little better, please feel free to ask away! I love to help out (and give my opinion even when not prompted LOL) so no question is too silly or difficult! =)
I got tagged to by 2 very lovely ladies and I'm finally getting around to doing them now. Better late than never right! Hope you enjoy reading these little tidbits about me!
The 1st set of 8 questions is from the sweet Ronnie:
1) How old were you when you start dating your first boyfriend?
I was 18 when I met my boyfriend and we started dating after a few months. Nearly 6 years on we are still doing just fine and I hope he will be my first and last boyfriend <3 He is affectionately known on here as "the boy" or "my bf" lol and I know he would absolutely hate it if I posted a pic of him on here - so here's a photo of his as a cute kid instead =p
2) What's your favourite quote?
I love baby shoes >.<
Life is short. Wear cute shoes!
3) What's your fashion pet peeves?
This is obviously NOT ME!!
Leggings worn as pants *shudder* Not cool!
4) Give one of the products you regret buying and WHY?
Too many to list! And I can't think of anything off the top of my head lol but nothing recently.
5) What's the worst epic chat-line have you ever heard?
I haven't had any used on me but there are just so many bad ones! The one that comes to mind right now is: "If I said you had a great body, would you hold it against me?" HAHA.
6) What's your favourite eyeshadow color?
Humid by MAC - which is a gorgeous green - is my all time favourite eyeshadow colour but I usually wear neutrals.
7) Name 3 make up brands that you heard of but that they don't launch in your country.
Makeup Forever, NYX and Skinfood. On a side note I just read Wan's post about dangerous toxins in Skinfood polish and I am SOOOOOO disappointed!! I have 2 beautiful Skinfood polishes from my swap with Nikki that I won't be able to try >.< BOO!!
8) Have you made any great friends in this blog? Mind sharing WHY they are the great friends of yours?
Yes! Because they are sweet, generous and talented ladies who share my love of nail polish and beauty.
Next set of questions comes from the lovely Winnie:
1) What inspires you the most?
My friends and family.
2) Who is your favorite celebrity/model/singer/actress/actor?
Hmmm so many! If I had to narrow it down, fave female singer is Kelly Clarkson. Yes I like pop and I'm proud of it!
3) What is your most used medium? (Blogger, Youtube, Twitter, Facbook, Tumblr...)
Blogger!
4) What is a makeup product that you cannot live without?
Concealer. My skin can be OK most days but my t-zone goes crazy sometimes and I get redness so concealer is a lifesaver.
5) Would you rather be pretty and super chubby, or super skinny but ugly? why?
I don't care as long as I'm happy and healthy!
6) What is your favourite thing to do on weekends?
Relaxing by hanging out with the boy, shopping and eating LOTS.
7) What is your favourite city?
Same as Winnie, Hong Kong. I haven't actually travelled alot but HK will always be my favourite as my family is from there =)
8) If you could only eat one type of food (es. Italian, Japanese) for the rest of your life, what would that be?
Even though most of the time I'm sick of it because I have it all the time, I couldn't live without Chinese food.
Thanks for tagging me ladies! Oh and I just realised this is my 100th post, WOOT!
