A friend told me this "Painting your nails is therapeutic."

And it is.

Whenever I'm bored or feeling a little too stressed on a weekend, I like looking at my mini collection of nail polishes, pick out a colour that matches my mood for my day, sit down and just apply! I prefer painting in the day because I can hold my fingers to the sunlight to ensure that I applied the coats thick enough, otherwise it won't look opaque. Plus, I don't know how I sleep at night but when I paint my nails at night, the next day they will be flattened or scratched -_-

My mini collection of nail polish comprises of OPI and Faceshop, but I've never tried Sally Hansen's before! So when I received a box of them, I squealed and painted my nails almost immediately. Here are the colours they sent me!

My nails are really brittle and break really easily, so I don't like keeping long fingernails. However, this Sally Hansen diamond strength range helps strengthen my nails for less breakage!! Plus I'm pretty klutzy and my nail colour chips quite fast, with the no chip for 10 days feature, my nail polish colour lasts longer and looks prettier!!

Don't you just hate it when your nail polish brush picks up uneven amounts of nail polish? One of the tougher parts of painting your nails is controlling the amount of paint that's on the brush. Too little and there's uneven polish, too much and your nail will bulge out (sorta). I liked how the brush was specially made for easy application and a smooth finish so it was easier to pick up just the right amount of polish!

My index finger isn't painted because, like I mentioned in a previous post, I went for my surgery and they required me to remove my nail polish on both hands, for the equipment to measure my blood/oxygen level accurately lol.

In 240 It's Chiff-on!

The colours are so pretty that I painted each hand a different colour. Still can't believe that I am protected from chipping for up to 10 days, due to their special formulated Micro-diamond mix that contains platinum and aluminium! Each bottle is only $13.90!

So I did this manicure by myself, don't forget to apply a base coat to protect your nails!! Especially for darker colours, they are more likely than not to stain your nails yellow.

Finish your manicure with Diamond Flash Fast Dry Top Coat ($16.90) that dries your nails in SIXTY seconds, contains safe and wholesome solvents (does not include toxic chemicals such as TFR – Tosylamide Formaldehyde Resin).

Sally Hansen Diamond Strength No-Chip Nail Color is available many other colours apart from the ones posted here! Check out the collection at Watsons, Guardian, Sasa, BHG, Robinsons, John Little and other stores.

PS: I think I look really different in the gyaru make up, (in Dollywink top and bottom lashes, brown mascara+powder, Candydoll lipgloss) Think it makes my eyes look a little droopy.

Now, go get gorgeous!
