NOTD : China Glaze For Audrey Nail Lacquer

After searching high and low, I finally found my favourite Tiffany blue shade from China Glaze! 

This China Glaze For Audrey is a really gorgeous turquoise blue/ aqua/ mint green (or better known as Tiffany blue) nail lacquer which is inspired by Audrey Hepburn's movie Breakfast at Tiffany. 

P/s: the above picture is not edited at except being cropped & watermarked to show you the true colour of the nail polish!

Part of my nails colour on the nails colour wheel so that it's easier for me to look for the colour I want to apply! 

Believe it or not, although I have more than 70 nail polish bottles (I know I'm crazy) lying around at home but I am not an expert in applying nail polish. There are some bad days where I could remove and reapply over and again. 

Review and Swatch of China Glaze For Audrey

I was really happy to find that China Glaze For Audrey's texture was creamy and pigmented. It was really easy to apply and I could even pass with 1 coating *so proud of myself*. And the 2nd coating was to make sure I have an even finishing & shine  I think the nail polish texture & brush was really good for this colour hence it was a breeze to apply. 

If you read the labelled this comes with a hardener hence it would have the benefits of strengthening the nails, resistance to chipping and colour fading! Not only that China Glaze colours are free of DBP, Toluene and added Formaldehyde. And it uses China Clay as a nail hardener instead

And I applied my nail polish last Thursday and until today (5 days and still counting), the colour stay on so well without any chipping because I also used Seche Clear Base Coat & Seche Vita Dry Fast Top Coat this time around! I absolutely love their fast drying top coat - if you love applying nail polish ... you got to own this! 

These 3 are my best beauty purchases of the month! I was glad to grab all these at a special promotion price at my Jessying x China Glaze Soiree party *post will be up soon after I have edit the pics*

China Glaze For Audrey is selling RM49 while Seche Crystal Clear Base Coat and Seche Vita Dry Fast Top Coat is selling at RM45 in their counters located in Isetan KLCC & Gardens Mall.

Finally I get to sit down and post up this beautiful Summer Collection 2013 after attending their launch 2 months back! 

RMK's Summer Collection 2013 creates the perfectly jeweled eyelids in palettes of 5 colours, with blusher to enhance the dewy skinned fresh look of the season into your makeup.

The display that would be showed on RMK counter

 RMK Ingenious W Powder Eyes comes in 5 shades (1 limited edition).

The duo eye palettes are rich in pearlescent particles for the perfect shine. Layering the 2 textures will enhance the original colours – from fresh green, demure brown to bronzed gold combinations. The texture has been enhanced for ease of glide when applied onto the skin, and for depth of colour when 2 textures are layered.

 

I can't get my eyes of EX-01 Gold because it is super glittering! And the purple (that looked like indigo blue) one would be my choice !

The 3 limited edition colours are all enhanced with a tint of pearlescent particles to add a healthy summer glow to your complexion. Choose from the Pink Gold for the natural rose tine, Orange Gold for the healthy glow, or the Brown Gold for the bronzed tint.
