IN2IT IN19 Jackpot

Had an interview a couple of days ago, so i had to chop off my claws and now i'm left with little stubbles of nails... :(

When I was in town, went to the local cosmetics shop and was trying to find a pink/purple nail varnish that I'm lacking at the moment. Little did I know that I found the best nail varnish that I've ever used in my life...

Introducing nail polish from IN2IT:

Taaadaaaaa.....
 IN19 Jackpot



It's a purple that leans a littttle pink in real life, very shiny very nice. Why do I like it soooo much?

IN2IT  Jackpot


First of all, it's a one coater. Yes, you heard me right. It is opaque in 1 coat. Screw OPI, Misa, Zoya, Essie all those high end nail polish. Girls, if you had never tried In2it before, you don't know what you had missed. Probably it's only the formula in this color Jackpot, I don't know... but 1 thing for sure, I hit the jackpot with Jackpot. Ok... it's a little lame... but it's an awesome polish!

Not only is it a one coater, it applies smooth like buttaaahhh... Literally. The polish just know where to go on your nails. It doesn't give you any trouble at all. It is a self behaving polish, yes it is. It's not runny that tends to go to your cuticles, nor is it thick and gloopy. Jackpot is just nice and opaque, such an obedient little fellow.

And... it's a self leveling nail polish... omg... I watched as the polish levels itself on my nails I was so touched I nearly cried.

What's more, it's so readily available here! It's one of the best things that I like about In2It. I can find it literally anywhere in my country. Screw all those international shipping fees and what nots. I'm soooo glad that I took a chance and bought it.

Another bonus, it is cheap. It's not effing expensive like some ahem Chanel ahem ahem, but really affordable. I spent about USD 2.80 after converting, and mind you, it doesn't have any shipping fees and all that. I was lucky I got it in a promotion, so it came with In2it keratin base coat for free, which usually costs around USD3.50.

Amazing bargain, I tell you. Great color, awesome application, fantastic formula, cheap price. What more can you ask for? Thumbs up for IN2IT.

1 word: AWESOME

P.s. I've only tried 1 nail polish from In2IT, i.e. IN19 Jackpot, so I'm not sure how are the application for other colors in the brand. Might buy more IN2IT again to try if I hit town, but I've been itching to try out Revlon nail lacquer too...

Skittle Pastel Manicure

I have quite a lot of untrieds in my stash, so after going back and forth among the bottles for nearly half an hour, I finally decided on a skittle manicure so I can wear every color. Yay!!




I wanted something fun and colorful, some cheerful nails, so this is what I came out with:

On my right hand:

Skittle pastel manicure: (L to R) OPI Alpine Snow, Color Club Take Me To Your Chateau, China Glaze Refresh Mint, China Glaze Something Sweet, OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender

This is my first skittle manicure, and I jazzed it up with some stamping on it.

I wanted something creative, so I stamped each finger with a different design. It looks sort of like a kindergarten wallpaper, doesn't it?





Thumb: OPI Alpine Snow stamped with China Glaze Someting Sweet; m79
Fore: Color Club Take Me To Your Chateau stamped with Konad White Special Polish, M79
Middle: China Glaze Refresh Mint stamped with OPI Alpine Snow; m79
Ring: China Glaze Someting sweet stamped with OPI Alpine Snow; m64
Little: OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender stamped with Konad White Polish; m35




I did it with my right hand too, but in different order. I didn't want a matchy matchy manicure which looks boring.

Skittle Pastel Manicure

I alternate between Alpine Snow OPI and the Konad Special white polish, I don't prefer one over the another for stamping, it all gets the same look anyway.

I know I know... my stamping is off and the alignment is bad and all that, but you get the look I was sporting, right? Right??

I get a lot of compliments on this manicure, so I'm happy! :D

Hope you like them!

Color Club Wild At Heart

Today I will show you an awesome deep purple holo nail polish from Color Club.

Color Club Wild at Heart

This is an awesome 1 coater, very very opaque, and drying time is comparable to those of OPI, very short!

Great formula, goes on smooth like buttahhh! Me likey likey!

CC wild at heart under shade

This is how it looks under the shade, daytime. It's a pretty lovely true deep purple, not vampish pruple, but original purple, with some small tiny silver shimmer which will burst into holographic rainbows when light hits.

CC wild at heart under the shade

I understand that some have gotten a dud batch of Color Club Wild at heart, where there is no holographic effect in it. That's sad. Really. But I was really lucky to have gotten the good one!

Maybe they didn't wait for the sun to come out, I'm not sure, but under the shade, mine look just like from a dud batch, deep purple with silver shimmers and no holo.

But when the sun comes out...

CC wild at heart sunlight

BWAHAHAHAHA.... look at the lovely holo!

Granted, it's not as holo as those China Glaze OMG and Kaleidoscope collection, or the Nfu Ohs, or the original holo OPI DS collection, or GOSH, but this is a really pretty not-in-you-face holo.

It is a linear holo, not strong, as can be seen, but still very pretty. It's such a shame a lot of holo are discontinued now. I would have gotten them in a jiffy if I could and swatched them. After all, the weather here is extremely good and the sun is always shining, such a pity... such a pity...

Color Club Wild At Heart Indoors

This is a shot taken indoors under the fluorescent lamp. Regardless, the holo effect is still visible. Pretty!

I did it without a top coat, thus the tip wear in the first few pictures taken today. :( Not very long lasting, unfortunately...

The weather became like below... after I took some photos, which was why I didn't take the photo of the bottle's lovely holographic effect. But anyway, I was lucky I was in time to take a few photos.

Gloomy weather~

Now I'm thinking of mattifying Wild at heart... hmmm....
