Nail Polish Haul - OPI Jinx Liquid Sand & Innie Minnie Mighty Bow

Hola all...hope you have a funtastic Tuesday ahead!

This time I am going to write about my other nail polishes haul. So besides Essie, I also bought two new red and orange shades nail polishes from OPI. As you can see, I'd posted the swatches on my Instagram @gie_dazzling.


I know it's so late to post about liquid sand nail polishes, but I just have to. I just wanted to share how much I love it in real life after seeing the swatches only on the internet! 

Liquid sand nail polish is a jelly base glitter polish that when you apply it to your nails, it looks like a jelly polish with glitter in it. However, it dries to a matte, grainy, sandy and rough finish. Sounds cool hu'uh? And my first liquid sand nail polish is called Jinx from the Bond Girls Collection. It consists of six liquid sand polishes, but this one that caught my eyes the most.


Jinx is a bright red-orange with lots of gold and microglitters. The color is just stunning. The formula -as any other OPI polishes- was great. It took only two coats to get the full opacity and no top coat is needed!


Second nail polish is called OPI Innie Minnie Mighty Bow from OPI Couture de Minnie collection. It's a classic candy apple red with strong red and golden micro shimmer for added dimension. The color is very vibrant and extremely saturated. It's completely a different red shade compare to my other red nail polishes. 


I'm so glad to bought these two and add them into my ever-growing nail polishes stash :D

My First Essie Nail Polishes - Avenue Maintain & Naughty Nautical Mini Set

I cannot sleep. It's 6am in the morning yet I cannot closed my eyes even for a while. As you know I'm still off-working and enjoying what being called enjoyable-long-leave, thus I never worried to wake up late, even until past twelve..haha (gak beneer iniiih)

Anywhooo,
Back to the subject lol. After checking my archives, I just realized that I haven't bought any nail polishes since February 13. Geez, its almost 5 months ago. I believe I've missed so many great collections. But since I'm only a Nailpolish junkie-wanna be, i'm not that sad if i missed one or two or even hundreds of great new collections. I'm sure I can always buy them at later time.

During almost 5 months nail polish haul hiatus, around several weeks ago I started to order nail polish again. This time I thinking about buying different brand and that brand was Essie!

Essie is the must-have in nail care. Essie’s multiple prize winning formula is known for its “no-chip” properties, assuring perfect long-lasting coverage. A charming whimsical and distinct name is given to each color to show-off the personality captured by this color.

The brand is so famous amongst nail polish junkie, and I guess I'm the last person who happened to realize it far too long. When everyone has had hundreds of their collections, I've just started thinking to collecting them since last month. *shame on me*

And my first Essie nail polishes was Essie Avenue Maintain from the Madison Ave-Hue collection. It's a medium sky blue shade with cream finish. I never think that I would love this kind of shade, but that chic Parisian blue just caught my eyes and I instantly fell in love with it.



The formula was great, although in my opinion the consistency was a little bit too thick, thus it's a bit trickier to apply than my other nail polishes, but it's still easy. It gave perfect coverage only in 2 coats. The dry time was okay and pretty long lasting. I just got several minor chipped on top of my nails after more than 5 days and after doing the dishes *no complaint to that, though! 

As always, I ordered the nail polish through online shopping at MP-FD Lena, since they're not available yet here in Indonesia.

My upcoming Essie nail polish would be the Summer 2013 Naughty Nautical Mini Set collection, which I hope will be arrived soon in few more days. I decided to buy this because of the pretty shimmer and only just one set, I can get 4 awesome colors to try on. I can't wait!

Like a B26!

Hi All, 

Yang lagi berpuasa, sudah kelar sahurkah? kalo bisa, please stay awake a little longer and wait for subuh to come and jangan lupa do the subuh pray yaa. After that..silahkeun dilanjut bobo2 cantiknya.

Me? berhubung gada kerjaan, alhasil gw udah menjelma jadi manusia kalong yang cuma bisa merem ketika matahari udah nangkring dengan cantiknya..so yeah..I'm not sleepy at all rite now. In fact, I can even do a blog post!

Post kali ini cuma mau cerita2 betapa seru dan hebohnya temen2 kostan gw yang baru ini. Each person came from a different background, which means they all have a different character as well. I cannot mention person to person, but to my opinion, everyone complements to each other. 

Ada yang talkative, ada yang passive, ada yang aggressive dan ada yang impulsive. They're all unique in their own ways. As for myself, I can always become anything depends on the needs and situations. Even long before I moved to the new kostan, I've always been appointed as person in charge for every kostan event, gathering, hangouts and even break fasting together. I dunno if it's because my natures, or its because I'm the oldest (though, Im not proud of it -__-). It's seems they all understand that I loved being in charge. Likewise in the new kostan!

I love arranging things, organizing people and of course gathering people to know one another. It is fun how most of us can get together pretty well. We all can mingle and laughed at any kind of jokes. Thus no wonder if I mostly spent my weekend with some or most of them.

Especially during this holy month, where we always wake up for sahur together and sometimes did iftar outside our kostan. It was fun indeed!

Our first Girls Night Out.

Our first karokoe time and closing-an :p

During fasting month and farewell Gani Si anak Medan :(

Such a short period of time, yet there are so many story has been shared amongst us. I do hope our friendship will last forever.

Btw, rata2 dari kita berasal dari luar Pulau Jawa. Ada si wong kito gilo, ada si Nasution dan ada si Papilaya yang ternyata aslinya adalah keturunan Jawa dan India *rollingeyes*. For me, that's a good news, karena pasti akan banyak oleh2 mudik dari mereka semua nanti (ngareps ya cyiint).

Weekly Recap - July #4

Ahhhh, aku melu deeh..bulan ini postingan longkap-longkap gak kira-kira. Dari weekly recap #1, tau2 udah weekly recap #4 ajuaah. #2 & #3 nya maneeeeh?!

Well, to be frank, being so-called off-work person, gw jadi kebablasan rajin begadang nih. Hampir tiap hari dari awal puasa sampe detik ini, ndak pernah absen tidur setelah langit terang (dibaca - jam 7am keatas) Bad..Bad! I know..tapi gimana duonk, secara temen2 kostan udah ketergantungan ma gw untuk ngebangunin mereka sahur, alhasil gw jadi kepikiran kalo seandainya gw sampe ketiduran (care cekalih). So itung2 nambah pahala, gw gak worried deh kalo mata sampe berubah jadi mata panda..demi ituuh..demi!

Dan, itu adalah salah dua alesan gw ndak bisa posting2, karena gw selalu bangun tengari bolong, alhasil mau kemana2 juga udah males, nah kalo gak kemana2, udah tentu gak ada juga yang menarik buat diceritain bukan?! Intinya siih, emang gada yang menarik in my daily life recently.

Speaking of which, another reason why I rarely post anything is because; gw akan lebih banyak posting tentang haul ajuaah. Lama2 ndak enak juja kalo post isinya cuma nafsu konsumerisme doank, rasanya menyesal gimanaa gituuh. Yah abis hiburan dikostan kan cuma internet kenceng and processor lappy yang ngacir. Awalnya niat gw cuma mau blogwalking, eh ujung2nya ngecek FD daaaaan tau2 nyasar ke forum2 racun yang ujung2nya mengarahkan gw ke MP yang pada pasang judul thread SALE segede2 bagong! Kelar deh tuh semua urusan menguras tabungan dan dompet!

Padahaal, mulai kerja aja belumaan, eh ini udah spending2 (bilangnya sih untuk menyambut kerjaan baru - tapi mustinya gak gitu juga kaleeee) Yaudahlahyah, jadi nyesek nih ngebayanginnya..apalagi pas kemarin ngobrol2 ma si Celz, ya koq gw malah pingin cancel aja itu PO di lapak (pengen di BLACKLIST Gie!!)

Wokeeeh, guess I blabbering waaay tooo much! Can we just on to the recap then!

On My Life
I always imagining my life as a remarkable life. I wouldn't complaint no matter what had happened. Mau seberapa sedih, senang dan kecewa, gw selalu menganggap itu sesuatu yang akan jadi bagian dari story of my life. Thus my life will always be LEGEN...wait for it...DARY!

On My Health
Alhamdulillah si sakit pinggang udah mulai berkurang nyerinya, tapi kapan waktu batuk2, tetep berasa ngilu disebelah kanan. Well, mungkin gw akan coba ngecek sekali lagi to ensure my self. Meanwhile, I just got a cold. I've been sneezing all day long. Maybe it's because lack of sleep (yaeyalah) and lack of vitamins -__-  also, I think i'm about to have a sorethroath nih, nelen udah ndak enaaak...(hadeeuh..koq ringkih amat ini bodyh) *buru2 nelen esterc sekali 2*

On Spending My Weekend
Went here and there with bunch of friends, mostly with my kostan friends. Where to? where else if it's not to the MALL! Especially prior to the Ied Fitri celebrations. Who wouldn't want to check what kind of kaftan style for this year is and how much would it be (ketauan banget deh). Although at the end I didn't buy any kaftan at all, and ended up buying other than what has been planned for *sigh. 

On Trying To Do a New Thing
I Cook. I literally went to the kitchen, slicing something and cook *for serious* This was something I never did for years...You don't believe it? Neither do I, but somehow I did. It was all my kostan idea. She just had this kind of awkward mind to cooking for iftar menu last weekend. So she went to the market, bought pasta, mushroom and so on and asked my other kostan friend to helped her out in the kitchen, including me of course! So there I am, standing gawky in the kitchen without knowing what to do. Until she asked me to slice sausages. Hahahah...seriously, I hardly remember when was the last time I ever touch a knife and cut/slicing something. But she made me do it and I can't help myself to keep giggling while slicing. LAME -I Know-
To my surprise, being in the kitchen was not a bad thing at all, especially when you're with bunch of rempong besties that mostly just messing the kitchen instead of cooking in orderly. LOL

On Exercise(s)
Haaaaaa...during this fasting month, I must say Good Bye to gym and kostan swimming pool. Gak ada tenaganya booo. Padahal yaaa, niatnya setelah buka pingin ramean ngegym setengah jam buat ngebakar kalori makanan berbuka yang penuh gula dan karbohidrat itu. Tapi teteuup ya ceu, rencana tinggal rencana. Wong abis makan bawaannya malah lemes dan ngantuk duluan! Jadii, setelah puasa harus back to normal lagi niih..half hour a day minimum pokoknya! *pasangikatkepala*

Selebihnya? Menunggu hari kemenangan datang tanpa ada tanda2 transferan THR (hahahaha..ketawa miris karena ngareps). But it's okay, rejeki gak akan kemana bukan? Sooo..ada yang mau transfer THR ke sayaaah?? *ngareps duakali*

Met Berpuasa dan semoga lancar puasanya yaaaaa....

End - 06.00

Weekly Recap - July #1

Alhamdulillah, I'm done with my sahur and it's time to wait for Subuh Pray. While waiting for it, I think it's better if I start to post another weekly recap (akhirnya!) It's been quite a long time I haven't post about weekly recap! Frankly speaking, I felt too overwhelmed with lots of thoughts, plans, ideas, what-to-do(s) on my head. As you may probably know, I've been out-of-work for this several weeks. Don't ask why, because it was my decision, and honestly speaking, Insya Allah I would never regret it. I do believe 'rejeki tidak akan tertukar" and selama kita terus berusaha dan berdoa, Insya Allah juga semuanya akan menjadi baik!

So yeah, one of the reasons I skipped so many weekly recap is because of that; I don't have enough story to tell because there's nothing to be told. My daily life was so-so. I spent most of my 'santai' day by staying at new kostan, browsing here and there, going out with him or her, and helping out BBP on his project; like went to this super fancy home decor store and raising my eye brows every time he asked me to buy that "not-so-picturesque" coffee table for a price of my kostan rent for a year! Blaaah! But well, I kinda liked it though. I think it's quite interesting. I learned a lot from BBP's job, I understand a little bit about how to make RAB for interior design project, I learned how to negotiate the curtains price and I also get the chance to know that there are sooo many "unreasonable-price" furniture out there, which surprisingly salable. Other than that, sorry to disappoint you..but, it was all boring! 

But then again, if I start to write another weekly recap, it could be mean something aite? whether I finally had a story to be told or I experienced something enticing. Both, I must say. I feel like I wanna write everything right now. 

So let's give it a start then!

On My Life
"Eventually all the pieces fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moment and know everything happens for a reason"
"Sometimes we need to thanked for one closed door as it will leads us to a new open door"
"When someone shows faith in you, you feel like you are worth it. Which is why when we are encouraged, we all blossom.
"If you never challenge yourself, you will never know your potential"

On My Health
Alhamdulillah semoga selalu sehat yaa..bhuuhbhuuh *suara nyembur* Amiin. So far my complaint was never been far from low back pain. I've checked to a good -Harvard Uni Graduated- Doctor at Rumah Sakit Jakarta the other day, and after several examinations and rontgen' results, he said that my spinal column was okay and that there's nothing wrong with my bone structure nor the spinal cord. So it's actually only because of my incorrect postures! The way I sit and the way I stand that can also trigger the LBP. Thus, starting from there I began to sit and standing straight. I also started to doing some stretching exercises such as pilates and yoga. Not much, just once or twice a week, but regularly. I do hope it works...Amiin (lagi)

On  My Social Life
I've done plenty of hangouts! (AGeJeH) Yeaah, being so-called-out-of-work-person does feels so great. I meant, when else can I get a chance slept and woke up super late if not being that person?! When else can I go out without worrying that my boss will suddenly call me just to check his flight (which I already reminded him several minutes ago) or when else can I do mall hopping, groceries hunting or even window shopping on a weekday if I am not that person?! So, I am glad with what ever decision I made. Although I realized that the laid back and the leisurely feeling wouldn't last forever. Sooner or later, I will miss all the manic-monday feeling, the morning routines, the deadlines (really?!!) and those 'at wits end' chores. And most importantly, I will miss my working attire, my lovely blazers! But I believe that it doesn't last forever either. Insya Allah, everything I miss will soon be coming true. *crossing my fingers* Until then, I will make time for my besties and brady bunchs as much as possible I can.

On Make Me Happy
Do I really need to explain this? seriously? you want to know? hokay..what makes me happy? shopping, get new things, owning dreaming things, surrounded by lovely friends, family gathering and of course seeing my parents healthy. But I'm not gonna to talk about that one by one though. Cause what I want to explain in here is just my passion for doing online shopping (not-to-be-followed) Recently I've been receiving so many new things from my previous mini hauls. Clothing, cosmetics, skincare even shoes. Geez, I spent quite a lot for this month only and I guess it wouldn't stop in a near time, as I am still on the hunt for that gorgeous, gorgeous, MK Hamilton Red Bag and the Zara Tartan Blazer. I've been dreaming about the bag for several days, thus it's so obvious that I really want it badly. So if somebody would ever care to ask (if) what makes me happy -for now- it's definitely if I can get those 2 dream items on my hands, right now, right this instance! *sepele amat ya itemnya..LOL*

On My New Activity
I don't dare to commit myself for any long-term commitment right now. I've had so many things going on in my head. Therefore, I really need to rethink and reconsidered everything all over again. But, for now on, taking that after office or weekend classes would not be a good decision! So, my new activity is as simple as mall hopping and searching furniture for BBP projects ajuaah :D

On My Future Wishes
Insya Allah, next month I'll be joining one of the well-esteemed construction company from US that just been established in Indonesia. I definitely have a lot of hopes in this new promising career path. Thus, I will surely carry out my biggest effort to it. So wish me luck ya...AMIN!

 Caiyoo Gie!
