Fav Youtube Channel - I love Beauty QQ ~ !

Even though she only puts a few eng subtitles - Im totally
addicted to this channel ! She completely inspires
me to want to be better in GENERAL...but especially
in regards to my skin. My sasa haul was inspired
by people like her and xpinkxx. Its great having
someone else giving you advice, like an older sister.
(Im an only child btw)


I prefer her to Michelle Phan in a way because
she is so real. Michelle does those odd poses
at the end of her videos & it freaks me out a bit.
I do love her but...I feel like Queenie is more
open to show the real her.







My purchase of the Loreal Go 360 Clean was inspired
by the video below...& I am totalllly in love with the
little scrublets. I often use it with my other cleansers
such as my Mandom Green Tea cleanser. It works soo well
& its super durable but gentle on the skin !

I started off with the blue one (sensitive skin)
and today I bought the green one which is the regular
gel cleanser. Part of the reason I bought a second one
before I even finished my first is solely
for the scrublet. I want to be able to do what
she does with 2 on my nose !

I love taking baths just like her & she gave

an amazing tip of adding some tea bags into your
hot bath water. Super natural and detoxifying !
She just has so many great ideas that she learned
from pros & her own experience.





P.S - If anyone out there knows Cantonese,
please let me know some stuff she is saying
where there is no subs ^ ^ Thanks !




Who is your fav beauty guru besides Michelle Phan ?

Pretty Nails Pt. 2

Zebra Nails

Zebra nails are always fun. 

I will share some tips of what

helps me to do them esp on my

non-dominant hand.

Use the brush to create thick lines by applying 

pressure.

Interweave the lines from one side of the nail 

and then do the other side.

Look at a photo on the internet of a zebra print and 

copy the individual lines.

Just dont leave too much space empty - fill it up

& you will come out with something decent.

On your non-dominant hand it helps to move your fingers

as you drag the brush - so twist your nail toward or

away from the brush for a cleaner line. 

Start with the Triangle either on the side, top or bottom

of your nail - this makes it a lot easier to fill up

the nail with other sorts of lines and makes it more realistic.

Practice drawing the lines on a piece of paper before

starting - you may see that painting on your nails

is even easier.

Here is my most recent Zebra Nail Tutorial : 

Brand Watch: Models Own

Models Own is currently having a 
facebook promo where if they reach
10,000 'Likes' then they will
do a 50% Sale . Sounds good to me !
So go onto facebook and 'Like' them !
However, you have to spend more
than  £20 on the site in order
to get the 50 % off which is like $30. 


They will send their 
facebook fans
a voucher for the site.

Models Own is a UK based company with 
makeup stuff... but Im more interested in the 
nail polish.


On their website they have the polish divided
into categories such as Pinks Greys Greens






I love that ! You can even buy the polish
in sets such as the 'French Manicure Set' 
They also have a base & top 
coat which makes your polish shiny
all in one bottle !


The colors are great ! There are at least 
one from every set that I want. The
colors are just so cute & fun !  
I've heard that the formula is quite good 
as well.


So, wait until the sale & go 
buy them up ! Thats what Im going to do...
The cool thing is you can grab 
some extra stuff like lip tint without
having to go to another site to do so.


By the way - the polishes will be £2.50 
 a bottle which is like $3.90 U.S ! !  ^ ^

NEW BLOGS ON THE BLOCK

Good morning ya'll!! Hope everyone had a great weekend. My son will be starting back to school this week - it's that time of year again. He is going to start second grade and he is excited.

My week is not off to the best start so far! I had to take Banana to the vet this morning, I think he ate something he wasn't supposed to and has an upset tummy. He was one sad little boy this morning. His poor little tummy was making all kinds of gurgling and rumbling noises. He was vomiting and had the runs during the night and into the morning.

Then after I get here to work my computer has died (maybe??)! I have a flashing amber power switch instead of a solid green one - not good. So my computer is off to Best Buy as we speak to get worked on. I am working on another girl's computer at the moment.

So sad to say I don't have my saved NBOTB sites for this week. So I'm going to do something a little different for this Monday only. If you have a new blog that you would like featured, leave a link in the comments section of this post. If I see that links left are not for NAIL related blogs/websites I will delete those comments, so please stick to the rules :) So please take a look at the comments on this post for links to new blogs girls.

Hopefully my computer will be back soon, but until then I will have to post from my computer at home, so posts will be done at night instead of during the day like I usually do.

New Youtube Channel

to make videos specifically about 
asian beauty products, random DIYS not
relating to nails, makeup tuts, 
advice, other random asian stuff...ETC...

So make any sort of suggestion if you want.


My next video is going to be on 'How

have been wanting to go for a while. 


I will be posting new nail stuff more regularly on 
kawaii nails also by the way. 


I have been doing my nails but - the videos 
haven't been coming out good enough to upload.
Its like I have OCD or something... 


But, I will try to go back to my once a 
week videos ! ^ ^ 

CUTE FRENCH MANI & A HEART "BREAKING" STORY

I know you haven't seen much posting from me this week. I had a bout of nail breaks come over me - I broke all but three of my nails in the past week and a half and finally gave it up and cut the remaining 3 nails off yesterday. Not that there is anything wrong with short nails, I just don't prefer them on me and I don't like the way swatches look on my short nails.

I'm thinking I might put on some acrylic nails this weekend so that I can get back to the swatching that I have to do. I might even PAY someone to put them on me, lol! I just haven't felt like swatching or even doing my nails for that matter because they are all so short.

Luckily I have another mani I did on my sister to share with you all. This was done at the same time of the pedi I showed you earlier this week. You will see the similarities between the two.

Pretty Nails Pt. 1

PERFECT PEDI

This is a pedi I did on my sister. Lots of stuff was used, as you can tell!! We kept laughing about it because she thought that her toes looked plain jane!! She has a base color on (a sheer) topped with Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure. Then a hot pink french with silver striping tape and black dots added to the french. And then if THAT wasn't enough, we stamped skulls on the big toes and added pink jewels for the eyes. Plain jane toes my ASS!! lol

My favorite part is the subtle touch of the Hidden Treasure - love it!!

Cleanser Routine ~

After removing my makeup with my 

Ponds Cold Cream & Wet Cleansing Tissues 

I wash my face with Loreals Go 360

Clean. What attracted my attention to this 

was the silicone scrubbie thing

which a lot of places in asia sell by itself. 

I could never find any

so I was excited to give this product a go. 

I probably wouldnt even have bought it

if it wasnt for the scrublet...

I have the one for sensitive skin.

I massage the cleanser into my face for around

2 mins and as I rinse it off I keep using the scrublet.

I noticed it really gives me the motivation to

pay attention to cleansing my face throughly and 

it makes me just want to keep rubbing away. 

Its soo fun to use ! I was  thinking of

buying a Clarisonic but with a cheap little

silicone thingy , you can still get a 

super clean face.

After using it - I follow it up with my 

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser for

Normal/Oily skin to reap all the benefits

of it for my acne prone skin.

The reason for this is that the purpose of the

360 one for me is just to get every last drop

of makeup off.

But, I still need my Cetaphil .

However, in the morning I only use my Cetaphil

with the silicone scrubbie. 

It realllly has helped me keep down my need to

use blackhead pore strips. 

( I use the ones by Etude house BTW.

 They work soo much better 

than the Biore ones ! ) 

Overall - Im loving this routine at 

the moment : )

I also have Kai Cleansing Brushes

which are super great

because if you buy 2

you can just wash your face so easily.

Your pointer finger slips right up

into the little pocket so its great !

Im planning to give one or 2 away in an

upcoming contest.
