It's a girl thing

Got myself some new nails, the red nails are pretty and all but the polish from Rubi wasn't good at all :(

Here's a short review of the red Rubi nail polish:
1. Too translucent, you'd need at least 5 coats or something before it looks opaque
2. It peels. Literally. From the ends you can see the nail polish un-rolling itself off the nails
3. It washes away easily, the sides of the nails started to lose the red coat after a while
4. It's sticky. I'm particular about how the nail feels, and with Rubi it just feels like it'd stick on to my skin when I touch it
5. It's a really pretty red though, with a highlighter tinge. Very striking.

And here are my new nails. It's so girly!





Here's a small tip: To clean the cuticle skin from nail polish, you may wish to cut the top of your cotton sticks in half, producing a sharp tip. The plastic tip in the cotton stick will be revealed once the cotton is chipped off and you can use it to clean those hard-to-reach corners :)



Here's my flickr showreel with the nail work done over the past two months :)
