Feeling a bit badass late last night, so I decided to put on the Urban Decay Mrs. Mia Wallace Nail Color (CA $18 / US $15) from their limited edition Pulp Fiction Collection (review of the entire collection coming soon).

I quite like this colour on my skin tone.  Sometimes I feel like some reds make my hands look... evil... lol... I meant they would look like they were injured.  I know I'm going to get a lot of use out of this deep blood red colour, and I'm already enjoying it :).

What's on your nails today?

Until next time,

Everybody needs some TLC every now and then. I love me a good mani-pedi but I keep having trouble to find a place that lives up to the hygienic level I'm looking for. I'm so glad that I got introduced to Me & T Studio.

From L to R: Liz, Shawna, Shirley, and Dylan
Founded by Shawna Rao, a former critical care nurse turned entrepreneur, Me & T Studio offers services from mani-pedi to facial hair waxing, from spray tanning to lash extension application. Along with Rema from The Burgundy Book and Arianne from Glitter Geek, I was invited to check out Me & T Studio and explore their service.

As much as I love the look of gel manicure, I have a beef with the system.  1) You need to cure it, even though it's fast, I don't particularly enjoy this extra step.  2) The removal is horrendous, because you need to soak your nails in acetone, not only that dries out your cuticle, it also takes really really long to do.


I'm sure many of you share this love-hate relationship with the gel manicure.  So you might be glad that the new L'Oréal Paris Extraordinaire Gel Lacque 1-2-3 System does almost exactly the same thing with much less hassle.  This system entails 3 steps: Primer, Plumper, and Magnifier.

I always find the stained glass art at church are really beautiful.  What if I tell you you can get similar effect at home on your nails?  The Formula X For Sephora Liquid Crystals (CA $15.00 / US $12.50) did that for me.
