Beauty Story Aqua Rose Swatches and Review

Hey everyone!

First of all, to say that I was missing is the understatement of the year. Sorry for that, I somehow found that blogging doesn't bring me happiness as it used to, since none of my friends even read my blog (lol). After a newfound passion and also the realization that I have lots of materials for my blog but never even posted them made me write this, in the middle of the night, just wanting to show you some pretty nail polishes that I received last year (or maybe it was 2016... I seriously forgot).

Anyways, today's post is about an Indonesian local brand, one that is widely known for its cute and awesome beauty products. They sent me a few things so that I can post them on my instagram, but the pics never found its way to my blog since I abandoned it. This nail polish line is called Aqua Rose, which is a tribute to the formula and also the cute bottle it comes in. It's a water-based nail polish packaged in rose-shaped bottle and it's so gorgeous!

Anastasia Brow Definer vs Etude House Drawing Eyebrow Swatch and Review

Hello! Today I have a comparison that I've been dying to do, since I couldn't find anyone talking about it on the internet. For this comparison, I'm going to give points for each subcategory. 
I bought the ABH Brow Definer in the color Ebony from here for IDR 350.000
My friend got me the Etude Drawing Eyebrow #6 Black from Korea, which cost IDR 50.000.

The Body Shop Colour Crush Mint Creme Swatch and Review

Heya guys!

I finally did a swatch on these The Body Shop Colour Crush nail polish in Mint Creme. It's a pretty blue-green pastel that I think should be a staple in every girl's nail polish collection.

By the way, I made a new logo to make my editing a little bit easier, what do you think? 

I bought these at the Body Shop counter in Emporium Pluit for IDR 99.000, and I've had this for a couple of months now but didn't have the chance to play with it until now.

For these swatches I did 3 coats and a layer of Seche Vite topcoat.

For the formula, I think it's a bit thick and kind of uneven at 2 coats so I added an extra thin layer to even it out and add topcoat for that glossy finish. I love my Seche Vite but the shrinking... OMG I'm ready to kill a man whenever I see that shrinkage near my cuticle area!

For 99.000, you get 6,8 ml of product and it's quite a reasonable price IMO.

And I added some floral patterns for KuteksJunkies challenge:

I think that's it for today, and I will see you guys soon!

Love,

Sovi

Marc Jacobs Enamored Hi-Shine Lacquer in 110 Gatsby Swatch and Review

Hello again!

This post is dedicated to the gorgeous Marc Jacobs Enamored Hi-Shine Lacquer in 110 - Gatsby.

I've always loved rose-gold color but never found a cheap (and available in Indonesia) nail polish that has the color. 

The polish bottle is flat coin-shaped bottle (but way bigger than a coin, duh) with a black cap. Inside the cap, you can see that there's the polish brush with standard brush (not wide, not too thin, with flat end). 

The polish itself is 13ml, around the same amount of OPI or China Glaze.

China Glaze I Sea the Point Swatch, Review, and Comparison

Hey guys, I'm back with a new swatch post for you today; China Glaze I Sea the Point, from their summer 2014 line, Off Shore. I am, have always been, and probably will always be, a sucker for blue/green shade. And this one is no exception. even though I already have a very similiar color (Essie Butler Please, which I will talk about more below), I still had to buy this one. 

I got this from GlamCollection8, for IDR 70.000, which is a steal, because they're having a huge sale on all brands for this month! yes, you're welcome :p

The New Sally Hansen Triple Shine Pixie Slicks, Oyster Bar, Twinkled Pink swatch and review

Heya!

I'm back with another blog post about an event (woah, so busy, Sov?)

So on June 26th, I was invited to Sally Hansen Indonesia's Triple Shine Launching event. At first I wasn't invited, but the lovely Ci Chell asked me to come :D

Anyhow, the event took place in Bistronomy Jakarta, a beautiful restaurant in South Jakarta. I was the second person to arrive there, so I sat down and chatted with Ms. Amy, and when she asked me what I blog about, of course I say nail polish, right? And she was shocked because she has never heard of or seen Indonesian nail blogger. Mostly beauty blogger who includes nail-related post but not really a nail blogger. It's okay though, this only means that Indonesian Nail-related communities and bloggers are blooming ;)

Back to the event, we were all seated in a 3-seat table, which has 4 nail colors on each table.

Etude House Play Nail 182 Review and Swatch

Hey dolls!

Today I'm back with another Korean nail polish to show you.

Last year, Etude House released a HUGE collection of nail polish in a line named 'Play Nails". The collection consists of colors already published, but bottled in a new packaging, and also some new colors.

A couple of weeks ago I ordered a bunch of them through a Pre-Order system from Warxisister OS, because nobody in my country would stock the whole 190 colors! It costs IDR 43.000, if I'm not mistaken.

More after the jump!
Etude House Play Nails 182 is a navy blue jelly with medium and small hex silver glitters. Upon seeing the promotional pictures, I knew I had to get it! ;)

See the word 'G' in the label? I used google translate to find out that it's short for 'Glitter' which is the translation of that little korean under the 'G'.

I am SWAMPED with exams and tryouts, but I will be back right after the national exam, April 18th! But right now all I can post is old swatches and nail art :(

Anyway, today I have Wet n Wild Fergie Gold Album to show you. I bought this a few day before Chinese New Year, at Sogo Emporium Pluit. 

The ever so lovely SA offered me the nail polish package, which consists of 4 WnW normal nail polish for IDR199.000, but I told her that I already have all the colors, and what I wanted is the Fergie collection (even though I don't have any WnW nail color, sorry mbak!) and then she told me I can have 3 WnW fergie plus a topcoat for IDR199.000, even though the normal price is IDR79.000 a bottle ;)

Ang without further ado, here's the swatch of Gold Album:
