VIP Fashion Night - Vedure Nail Bar

Hi Huneybees,

So in my previous blog post, I mentioned that there was a nail bar that night. I hung around a little, left my name on waiting list, but time was tight and I didn't get to get my nails manicured by them that day.

However, I did move around the nail bar for photos and saw some interesting things that make me wana "pay" them a visit soon....

Nail artist busy at work...

I guess alot of you would have known Vedure for being popular for their use with Minx nail strips. Oh man~ Why I didn't get to try it?! Anyway, here are some of the designs that Minx have...

Don't you just want to have one design for each nail?!

To tell the truth, I thought Vedure's all about Minx nail strips, so guess my reaction when I saw these templates of super beautiful nail art designs on the table~ Now I even wana "throw" my toe nails in too!

I like the "Measure Me" from above and "i Love Shoes" from below. What about you?

Guess I'm gona make a trip down to Vedure and I'll definitely let you guys know about it soon?

Blogs Huney'z Been Following

Hi Huneybees,

Ever since becoming a blogger, I have also been reading up and following some bloggers' blogs. Some interest me, some are because I've made friends with them at events and found their blogs pretty interesting. Let me introduce some to you...

1) http://www.hpility.sg/

Hong Peng aka HP is our president for the G+ group of Nuffnang, how can I not follow right? He has a lot of readers for his blog and I'm in love that he always updates his blog almost everyday of things happening in Singapore and that he also has a "fetish" for Korean songs. Love his recommendations on the blog, even though I don't know what they are singing about, but it's all super catchy songs.

2) http://iisjong.blogspot.com/

Joey aka iisjong is someone I met during a blogging event and first impression of her is that she's so young and different from all bloggers. Everyone was going jap/korean inspired with their fake lashes and contact lenses, she just hid behind her big ass glasses and looked so hyper and adorable! She's a HUGE fan of Rikkakuma and I love how she incorporates her soft toys in parts of her blog posts. The posts can be seen that she puts in lots of effort while writing and not writing for the sake of writing.....

3) http://www.scrangie.com/

Being a nail art fanatic myself, of course I must follow back some other nail art bloggers to find out what's new in the nail art market. She's from United States and so she tends to be the first to spread about news of new collection from O.P.I., China Glaze, etc. She's not bias in her posts and she also does a lot of comparison which helps alot when I am buying my nail polishes.

4) http://daily-nail.blogspot.com/

I stumbled upon this blog many moons ago while searching online for ideas for my nail art and I found her! She's from Las Vegas and at that time she was on the 365 days Project, where she created 365 different nail designs almost daily. Her ideas were so creative and almost effortless and I love it! Even though she has finished with the project and doesn't blog as often, I still get excited to read her blog posts everytime she updates as she always surprises me with her nail art designs.

5) http://blog.ditz-revolution.net

Helga Gabrielle Weber is from Philippines, a web and graphic designer (*like me). Her blog is mainly of her clothing, sense of fashion, but there's also alot of other beautiful photos that she takes. I find her sense of fashion super couture and she tends to mix and match her clothes in ways I never thought of.

She's currently in pink, blond hair with a shaved side parting (how cool is that right?) and maybe coz of the weather I find her clothings very feasible for the us to wear here in Singapore. She doesn't act cute in her posts and keeps them short and sweet, mainly with lots of photos to inspire. I think is amust for all ladies who love to stay in fashion!

6) http://colourhuney.blogspot.com/

Yes! I recommend myself! This blog of mine is new and I adore it like baby, because I get to share my beauty secrets with the world. Who says plus size girls have to be hidden at a corner?! I stepped out confident and not afraid to express myself with colours (makeups and nail arts), why shouldn't you?

I'm not being bias here, but as a blog reader, I would recommend you guys to read this blog as I only recommend the best and even list out the pros and cons for you guys, so that you guys can consider "deep deep" before "plunging" in to get that product. I strive to inspire all girls out there to be beautiful and confident of themselves, effortlessly. Always check back for updates and more creative ideas!!

Muahz,
Christina aka Huney

M.A.C. A Tartan Tale (Chapter 1)

Hi guys,

After the much talked about M.A.C.'s Venomous Villians, here comes their year end collection that's launched every year. This year they have came up with a collection that revolves around the Tartan pattern.
So what's Tartan?

Here's a little explanation I pulled off Wikipedia:
"Tartan is a pattern consisting of criss-crossed horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colours. Tartans originated in woven wool, but now they are made in many other materials. Tartan is particularly associated with Scotland. Scottish kilts almost always have tartan patterns. (Tartan is also known as plaid in North America, but in Scotland, a plaid is a tartan cloth slung over the shoulder or a blanket.)

Tartan is made with alternating bands of coloured (pre-dyed) threads woven as both warp and weft at right angles to each other. The weft is woven in a simple twill, two over - two under the warp, advancing one thread each pass. This forms visible diagonal lines where different colours cross, which give the appearance of new colours blended from the original ones. The resulting blocks of colour repeat vertically and horizontally in a distinctive pattern of squares and lines known as a sett." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tartan

Basically, it's the Scottish inspired plait design and they have incorporated that in their packaging design. Check out the pics I took, thanks to the friendly M.A.C. staffs that allowed me to take little snaps.
