Korean nail polish - Dear Face review

It arrived in my mail box packed neatly in a tiny box -
and they gave me free face mask, how cute!
Taadaa! The full color range I got
And it is all tidily wrapped up in bubble wrap, fantastic and
extremely thoughtful!
Black and white nail art pens! They are not too bad,
very convenient compared to using brushes and nail
polish. But they dry a tad too quickly for my liking,
making pin-point drawings difficult.
Have tried the all except the maroon red in the middle,
blue and orange are a tad tougher to manage. You'd need
delicate double coating for them, but the effects are gorgeous!
Overall:
Color: 9 out of 10
Texture: 7 out of 10
Durability: 8 out of 10
Service: 9 out of 10

Overall I recommend it greatly!

Want a nail polish to be reviewed? Well get in touch with me and send me some samples and I'd gladly do it :)

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 :)
