Hi everyone! I hope you’re all
having a beautiful Monday morning like I do. I’m currently having my morning
coffee (ooops! Did I say coffee? I guess
I did… long story – let’s talk about it next time… ♪♫ lalalalala ♫♪) and my
cheese whiz sandwich, and thought I’d share with you my very recent love affair
with Jacqueline Burchell! It’s a nail polish, okay?!
I first showed it here and I didn’t expect to like it
this much! If there’s one thing a totally suck at, that’s none other than
painting my nails. I sometimes think how come I can draw yet I can’t paint my
nails beautifully let alone, properly?! I mean, I know how to color but how
come when I paint my nails I always go beyond the borders, goodness-gracious!
So when I got a nail polish in my
loot last month, I had a mixture of “wow” and “uh-oh” in my mind. My first impression
with this nail polish was not that good if you can remember. It strongly smells
of paint thinner in my opinion despite its claim of being free of toluene. I
also have never used anything this glittery for my nails in the past especially
because I was never that adventurous when it comes to my nails. As you can see,
we clearly started off on the wrong foot.
Last week while my husband was
playing DOTA on his laptop, I decided to paint my nails and to my surprise, I
reached for this one without giving it much thought. So there I was, painting
my nails and complaining a little bit (or
maybe a lot, I really can’t remember, lol) about its scent, the fact that
it has these chunks of glitters making it a tad messy to apply, and to top it
all, my very poor skills in painting my nails. While in the process of
completing my masterpiece (a decent-looking painted nails at the very least), I
noticed how it dried up so quickly I didn’t need to bother with a fast-dry top coat.
After an hour (like seriously? yeah,
unfortunately. *drop shoulders – sigh*) of painting my nails on both hands,
I looked at them with… a surprising amazement. They look gorgeous! This nail
lacquer is amazing! I think I need to stock up on this because it seriously
made me a little (cough-cough) proud of myself after seeing how stunning it
looks on my nails. Even my husband, who is well aware of how badly I struggle
in the manicure-pedicure department, gave me a word of praise for this very
unexpected beautiful piece of art, #LOL.
I am seriously thinking of
purchasing the full-size version but might go with a different color. I still
don’t know! This red looks gorgeous, I know, but if you’ve read Jen’s Manicure Monday where she featured one of
Deborah Lippman glitter polishes, you will understand my interest in checking the
other color options.
So, if you’re from Singapore and
interested to get your hands on any of the Jacqueline Burchell nail lacquers, simply click here. And NO, baby! This is in no way a sponsored post and I’m not gonna get a single cent from that link – although I wish I am, but really I am not, hahaha. #defensivemuch

There you have it, lovelies! What’s your craziest nail-painting
experience? And what nail polish made your heart go “boom-boom-paw” the second you laid your eyes on it or the moment
it touched your nails? Let me know!
