BYS colour change nail enamel changing the color with our temperature.... A "mood ring" type of nail polish! Kekeke

Change your look without having to change your nail polish!

Ingredients list....

The brush is the average size brush tip. I find it quite normal... nothing too special.

During the days (about 3 days) of me wearing this nail polish.
I don't see any changes in color.. maybe my temperature was pretty consistent (lolx) But it does have a tiny bit of ombre effect (lighter one nail bed and darker on the nail tip)

I should JUST put my hand into the freezer for a min to see the changes... (:P)

Please pardon my dry cuticles!

Diamond Collection fantasy begins with…
Diamond Strength No-Chip Nail Color: Be drawn into a magical fairy tale fantasy, with each shade of the extensive selection (of 18 ultra-luxe shades) reflecting a distinct dimension of grandeur and beauty. The range spanning across regal jewel tones, confectionary color, bold brights and ethereal sheers are all synthesized with diamond powder particles. Housed in a radiant faceted glass bottle reminiscent of a real diamond, each formula carries the brand’s trademark brilliant strength and quick touch dry-time.

To further amp up the radiance in your nail color, the light refractive diamond powder particles make nails instantly twice as shiny as natural nails – embellishing your fingers with beautiful sparkles with a multi-dimensional, faceted shine.

Last week, I had my FIRST gel polish manicure (complimentary) @ the grand opening of SASA bigest outlet at Jurong Point.

I don't feel like having some loud colors.... so I pick the nude shade... #150 Fake Bake and top it with some shimmers(which I forgot to take note of the "shade" Hai~)

You can get Red Carpet Manicure products at Jurong Point SASA (not sure whether it's available at other outlets) - they have a huge shelving of products from gel polishes, gel polish remover, oil to the UV light thingy (Oops.. not sure what the name of the UV light box/gadget called.)

If I didn't remember wrongly, the price of each gel polish is SD$19.90, remover SD$15, cuticle oil SD$10 and the UV light gadget SD$138(I think)

Gel Polish "normally" last about 3 weeks ... I'm pretty rough with my fingers, if this last a week, it's good enough for me! lolx

Ok, I'm not being creative on the "Title" lolx

Using essence Ballerina Backstage nail polish(I need a black base and I can't find my black polishes!!!) and PR Nail Color(Ming got this for me from KL)

The essence nail polish look really similar to China Glaze Lubu Heels.

The PR nail polish has a very pretty iridescence sheen. Kinda like a chrome type of polishes.

Lately, I hardly paint my nails ... wanna give them some resting period... OK la, I'm just Lazy :b (lolx)
