Nail Art Tutorial: "Frosted Taro" Nails

Happy Tuesday everyone! Monday passed by quickly so I think this week will pass by without any problems! AYE???

Nail art tutorial! Yay!!! I've been lazy with my nails recently as my last nail art as seen here was sported for 2 weeks! Yes it survived 2 weeks with just a small chip on my left pinkie finger! :)

Some of my readers are sweet enough to email to to request for more gradient nails. I am personally fond of gradient nails as I love combining different colors to come out something unique! This isn't very unique but it's something I would sport on a daily basis :) Hope you like this!

Step 1:

Apply a base coat to protect your nails. Apply 2 coats of platinum polish. I am using ELF's.

Step 2:
Drop a thick polish of light purple color, using a brush, brush it downward towards you. Do this as quickly as possible

Step 3:

Drop a darker purple polish color on the tip of your nails and do the same downward strokes.

Step 4:

Drop 2 lines of white dots, do as many dots as you like. You can make this vertical, horizontal, or in my case, slanting.

Step 5:

Draw 5 bigger dots of Pink nail art pen, use a needle method to create a flower

Step 6:

Apply rhinestone in the middle of the flower to create a sparkly flower bud.

Step 7:

Top everything with a silver glitter polish.

Step 8:

Apply top coat, sit back, let dry, and relax :D

Enjoy your "taro" looking nails

If you wonder where I get my rhinestones?
I do have them available in my Prettynails Shop
Thanks so much for being a part of my daily beauty habit! :)
Hope Tuesday treats everyone fine!

Tip for the Day: Foundation

(note from Author: All brands discussed here are not used by author but just examples of what's out there, please purchase products at your own discretion, thanks)

Thanks for the positive responses on my series on "What do I need to purchase to start my makeup collection?". I am happy that you find it exciting to read my advises and thoughts! You don't know how much I appreciate it!!! :D Made me an energizer bunny! THANK YOU!!!!

As promised, here's the next installment, this time, let's talk about FOUNDATION!

How do you choose your foundation?

First you have to know what are the types of foundation available ---

Oil-free and matte liquid foundations -
lasts longer on oily skin, but can make your skin feels dry and flaky.

ex. Nars Balanced Foundation, Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier Oil Free Foundation, YSL Matt Touch Foundation etc..

Ultra Matte Foundations -great for seriously oily skin, goes on very heavy and can leave the skin very dry.

First Blind Swap Ever

When I posted the first "I Wonder" post on the best body moisturizer, the lovely Cris emailed me and offered to help me purchase a body moisturizer that she really likes. Korres Body Butter!

She didn't specify what she wants from my side of the world as she just wanted to have a Blind Swap experience. This is my first as well and all I can say, it was such a wonderful experience blind swapping with Cris! Thank you so much for the added extras! I hope you like what you got from me too! I can't wait to try the goodies :D

Thank you Cris!

Weekend Food Tripping at: Modern Toilet Restaurant

You read it right!!! Toilet and Restaurant goes in one sentence! LOL
We've seen about this toilet restaurant over email, I think they have it in Japan? Not sure. But when we were in HK, we were handed out a tissue pack advertising the Modern Toilet Restaurant! We were so intrigued we have to look for it! :)

It isn't hard to find the restaurant, it's located at Causeway Bay at the 4th floor of the same building as the biggest Watson's Store in that area. They have a total of 2 branches in Hong Kong. Causeway Bay and Mongkok Branch. I love how cute the ambiance is, yes, it should be gross but I find it super cute!

Menu

Our seats
Table has a basin
Shower and even shampoos!
Look at our seats! I love it!
They use real toilets!

Closeup on our toilet seats
The seat cover is removable!
You can really do your thing there
IF YOU DARE! lol



They also have Sauna seats
Imagine your first date?
and you're both inside a Sauna?
Don't tell your mom!! lol

Cute decorations!
Sad to say, they don't sell these!
They should...cause,
"I want to buy SHIT!" :P

Here's a cute table setting
that greets us!



And let's talk about our orders!
I love the presentation
Gave us the kicks and laughs!

Stone Grill Chicken
HKD58 / Php370 / USD8.25



Braised Pork Ball
HKD55 / Php357 / USD7.80

Sliced Beef and Mushroom
in Kimchee Soup
HKD50 / Php325 / USD6.90

Marton No. 5 Ice Cream
HKD18 / Php117 / USD2.50

Overall experience? WONDERFUL! We had a blast laughing and talking about how cute the place is, how cute the presentation is, great customer service!

But how about the taste of the food?

BLAHHHHH!!!! It lacks taste and it's actually not that good! LOL We were joking around that since we're eating in a toilet, we're eating crap! LOL To be honest, it's worth the experience, first timers would enjoy this but I would say I'm not dining there again because the food is not great! But I'm only joking about eating the CRAP. The food tastes like food but nothing outstanding!

---------------------------------------

You know what I've realized about HK after staying there for 4 days? It's not easy to look for places to eat! Since HK is such a small place, restaurants are jampacked in one building and there's so many people eating at the same time, you really have to line up! Gosh! I've never felt so hungry in my life when I was in HK! LOL When it's time to eat, the restaurants are just hidden, nowhere to be found!

Anyways, it was a great dining experience! It'll be fun to see such cute themed restaurant down here! I'm sure everyone would want to have the experience on eating in a Moderm Toilet Restaurant! :D

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Are you still hungry with my food post?
Or have you lost your appetite?

:P
