Nail Talk . . .

Nails actually need a lot more hydration than your skin.

Using any type of oil or natural cuticle cream will help you a lot.

If you have watched my "How to get Long Nails" video

you will see that I include Cuticle Cream & Hand Cream.

This is not only for my cuticles or hands but for my 

nails also.  

Also - I accidently painted my nails this weekend

with a Green Color by OPI called "Gargantuan Green Grape"

WITHOUT using a basecoat. I dont know how I forgot that.

I was rushing & not paying attention . . . 

But, now my nails are stained a bit yellow & look horrible.

So, I have been leaving my nails unpolished this week 

so they can recouperate.  Im going to do my whitening

treatment often.

Base Coat is suppperrr important especially with those

super pigmented or dark colors.  I always use at least

2 coats of Basecoat - sometimes 3. It helps the polish to go on

nice and smooth & if you are using a strengthening one (which you should be)

then its helping your nails not to break also. Before applying basecoat

I prep the nails using a 4 sided buffer ( 10 swipes for each side) 

If you have super dry, brittle nails even with a 

nail strengthener & even after applying Vitamin E oil or

other things  - then look at your diet.

Are you eating well ? Or are you eating lots of

processed, fake, salty crap ? If you dont have

adequate vitamins  in your body - how can it

repair itself ? 

Eat vegetables and fruit everyday - & if you are

lazy just throw a bunch of shredded carrot, 

banana, pineapple in a blender for example

and there you go.

Just stick to whole foods - Im trying not to eat any junk ! 

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 ! !  ^ ^
