About
a lil bit of me Hello~ I'm Lily! =). 17 going on 18. Capricorn. Total sucker for dimples. Shoe-a-holic. I love chick-flick, but definitely eager to watch action, science-fiction, and other genres as long it's not horror or slasher (I like scream series though). Nail art is my newest passion. My other passion is drawing, cos I find it soothing. Currently living away from home to study at uni. I love to eat (who doesn't?!), especially cheesy, creamy, lemony and minty things.

 Recently I realize that I don't have the passion to blog anymore. I guess I just forget the reason why I started this blog in the first place. I just wanted it to be a place where I can ramble on and on about whatever things I'd like to say, I didn't really care if anyone read it, because I just want to ramble non-sense and just to pour out every single thing I think, I do, etc. Because let's face it, I'm quite a chatty girl. ok. fine. I'm reaaalllyy chatty that I don't think anyone can really bear with me through out my whole blabbers. Even Sam, who claims to ALWAYS listen to me when I rambles, at some point I'm pretty sure, he'd dozed off *shrug shoulder*. So this blog is kinda a platform for me to..well..rambles. Like NOW. I know this entry doesn't even make sense, but I just want to, well, again, rambles. (I seriously need to find another verb for 'ramble' -___-"). Errm... I guess that's all? Right now I'm thinking on what else should I put in this pointless entry. Like a photo, maybe? Oh! oh! I have instagram now! :D Well, actually I've had it for a while, but never used it. username : lie2cious .JPG) ending off with this very yummy-looking waffles :p for you who happen to read this in the middle of the night and finding yourself salivating over it, well, I really can't do much, so...well, it was delicious though~

This video has been up for almost 2 weeks now, but I was just waaaaayyy too lazy to post it here -__-"..
Is it a pain in the ass to remove?
definite YES.
But I think the cuteness is worth it :)
Plus, you can always use the aluminium foil method, it'll make it a whole lot easier. I wasn't using that method when I removed this nail art, so it was hard.
Anyway, this will also used up a lot of your pearls.
Nail polishes I used :
L.A. Color Art Deco in Black
The Face Shop (for the pink base)
Pinkey (for making the pink more "pearly")
Both The Face Shop and Pinkey don't have a name.

Night everyoneeee~~ ♥
I'm uploading a tutorial right now ;) (but I'm trying something right now, so the video will remain private for a while)
Anyhow, I've been tweaking the codes of my blog template for the past hours, and now comment is available!! ^^ I've also tweaked the side bar (giving it dropdown menu, search by brand, by finish etc).
I'm not done yet though, there are still a couple things I wanna change.
I'm so excited!!

This is one of the Revlon polishes I picked up a week ago while my family come to visit :) 
It's the polish that caught my eye the second I saw it.
 In the bottle it looked like it will have a duo-chrome sorta finish, but it's not. Still, very pretty color.  This one is one thin coat. It's definitely still very sheer, obvious VNL and very strokey.  Two thin coats. It's still a bit strokey, but I think tou can get away with 2 thick coats.   And 3 thin coats :) I stopped layering it at this point, because in real life it's actually already decent-looking, but as in the photos above, the finish still a bit strokey, but won't be so obvious if you don't like really stare at it. It ended up to be a frost finish (hence, the strokey) with slight change of color if you look at it from different direction, so no, it's deifinitely not a duo-chrome. A bit lean to iridiscent IMO. 
I don't really have a problem with applying this polish. They're easy to apply and layering them were easy too.
What I do have problem with though, is the scent!! I seriously cannot stand the scent. I know it's supposed to be parfume-scented nail polish, but the smell was just too "chemically" and too much and just ugh!! Maybe it just me, but they smell like someone who POURED parfume all over his/her body.
And the other problem, and I'm having this with all Revlon nail polishes I've tried, is the brush. They're just soooo skinny please. I like my brush to be fuller so it's easier to use.
But other than that, I like the "Ocean Breeze" :)
 So, yeah, in conlusion I like this nail polish and I'm willing to deal with the scent and the brush because I really like the color ^^

This one, different than usual, is actually my nails today :) 
It's a regular mani, because I don't have the feel to do nail art recently :(
Anyway, the color's by The Skin Food. It's a beautiful greyish color with micro-glitter. I put matte topcoat on this one, that's why it's not shiny, but trust me, it is a really beautiful color.
Out of korean brand that I've tried (Etude House, The Face Shop, The Skin Food), The Skin Food is probably my most favourite. The formula is excellent, this one goes smoothly with only two coats and you can actually get away with one coat if you apply them a bit thickly. And brush is in good shape too.
Sadly, they're too pricy for me, so I only have two of them.
p.s.
I'm working on the quality of photos of the nail art in this blog right now, I know the past photos quality were quite sucky, so I'm working on it, please bear with me :) And seeing all of those nail art blog really made me feel I need to upgrade (lightning, neatness of nail art, etc).
And I'd like to state that this is NOT a nail art blog, it's a blog where I write about my life, my passion, my friends, whatever I feel like to write :)

I'm just finished with my mid-term. I haven't got my laptop back yet, but apparently I have one tutorial that I've edited ages ago, so that will be my tutorial this month :)  very big cotton candy, yes? even bigger in real life!! ^^ //edit (originally posted on May 3rd) p.s. speaking of cotton candy, I really really want the Revlon Cotton Candy!! It's a very subtle, yummy-looking baby pink let me search for the pic ^^ 
image : google.com
Revlon is still quite reachable for me, so I might getting it if I get the chance. It's a buzz-killer though that it's parfume-scented. I just bought 2 revlon recently when my parents come to visit and one of them is parfume-scented. And for the life of me, I HATE the smell!! It's very "chemically".
Anyway, I'll talk about the 2 Revlon I just got recently on the next post :)

Again, an old song :) I just discovered it yesterday on my way to Living World with Sam. I RAREly (almost never) turned on the radio, I usually listen to the song from the usb, but yesterday I feel like listening to the radio, so I turned it on. And this song was on already 3/4 thorugh and it really caught me quickly. I listen to it carefully for the lyric and search it on google :) *all hail whoever made googling is possible on mobile phone* ---------------------------------------------------------- Somewhere there's speaking It's already coming in Oh and it's rising at the back of your mind You never could get it Unless you were fed it Now you're here and you don't know why But under skinned knees and the skid marks Past the places where you used to learn You howl and listen Listen and wait for the Echoes of angels who won't return [Chorus] He's everything you want He's everything you need He's everything inside of you That you wish you could be He says all the right things At exactly the right time But he means nothing to you And you don't know why You're waiting for someone To put you together You're waiting for someone to push you away There's always another wound to discover There's always something more you wish he'd say [Chorus] But you'll just sit tight And watch it unwind It's only what you're asking for And you'll be just fine With all of your time It's only what you're waiting for Out of the island Into the highway Past the places where you might have turned You never did notice But you still hide away The anger of angels who won't return [Chorus] I am everything you want I am everything you need I am everything inside of you That you wish you could be I say all the right things At exactly the right time But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why And I don't know why Why I don't know
----------------------------------------------------------
I didn't realize the meaning of the song until I read one of the comment about how the song is the perfect "friendzone" song. So, Friendzoned people, here, I present to you, your ANTHEM!! *drumroll please* lol And yes, yes, I've been friendzoned before, and I may have friendzone others, so let's sing this song together, ok~
take care xoxo

I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to upload the second video of this month T.T The thing is, a couple days ago I spilled water over my laptop when I tried to open the bottle wtf. And now the keyboard won't work!! Luckily, my parents was coming to visit me, so they brought my laptop back to Jogja to get it serviced in Asus center *fingercrossed the guarantee still works >.<* What this has got to do with the video? Well, actually I have the video files with me, because I always save my stuffs in external hard disk, but!! I haven't finished editing them T.T. My dad lent me his laptop meanwhile, but I'm 100% sure this laptop cannot do the editing (plus it doesn't have the software and I don't have the master with me), or if it does, it would take ages!! Sooo, yeah, no second video for this month. Despite my laptop accident, I'm really happy though this past couple days 'cos I got to meet my little brother, mom and dad, and my grandma and spent time with them!! Oh!! and my food cabinet got stocked up! ^^

Labels: random blabber Rant on The Face Shop Sale...
Friday, April 20, 2012 7:31 PM
I said in my previous post about the face shop mini haul that they're gonna be having a crazy sale. The shop's employee told me that there will be 40%+10% off sale because they want to renew their packaging and add ingredients and whatever shit that is. And I was sooo pumped and couldn't wait!! I was already planning to get a big haul and try their higher price range of nail polish (the colors are really gorgeous please), so today is the first day of the sale and I was excitedly going there, only to find out from the EXACT same employee that the sale is only for the skincare wtf. When she told me about the sale I was on the cashier paying for nail polishes and she told me about the sale and didn't mention that the sale was only for the skin care. She said it like it was all items. AND when I asked her whether the sale is for the member card holder only, she said that the sale is for all people, but today I found out that the +10% is for member card holder wtf square. AND she told me the sale will start on 19th of April, but it actually start on 20th of April wtf wtf wtf. Major FAIL! I was so pissed that I kept on ranting on the way back to my boarding house *poor Sam had to listen lol*. Soooo, yup. No haul whatsoever. I really hate it when I already got all pumped and it ended up disappointing the shit outta me. I'm done ranting. I'm not so much ranting here about the actual sale, which I'm sure might be great, rather than about the fact that the employee gave me a very unclear message and two of 'em are wrong -___-"...
