I wanted to do a pink nail for Valentine's, but gravitated towards this particular shade of mauve instead. I never thought about it but mauve can be such a romantic colour. Pink is too, but in a more cutesy, puppy love kind of romance. Mauve is a more calming, serene, staying up until the morning and watching the sunrise together kind of romance. Am I being too sentimental :p<br />

I really love the Electric Lane Glitter Topcoat, they really pack the glitter in and one coat gives life to the colour underneath. I just couldn't help myself but to add some heart stickers and jewels.<br />

I hope you liked this week's Nail Love! I had a lot of fun doing this one, and looking at all these mauvey purpley images are such a nice calming way to end the week. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend :)<br />

I can't get over that weird mascara brush hat, it's so distracting!! But anyway, I love the design and choreography of this scene, how everyone seems to be walking into each other but just seamlessly slides out of the way without noticing. I think the production of this on a sound stage was great. If it had been on location, the setting would not only have taken away from the simple colour scheme of white, grey and black, but also the elaborate hats and gowns.</div>

I love the bit with the two women who wore the same ridiculously extravagant hat. I guess there really is no way to hide if you're both wearing something so unique and huge!</div>

Apparently, the ribbons in this outfit are not black and white, but a <i>very deep purple</i> and white. Flowers are attached onto the side, little violets, wheat, and red roses. I love the lace under-bonnet, the little flower details are darling.</div>

This is probably one of my most favourite scenes in the movie. You can feel Eliza practically floating through the air, nervous and excited. And when Higgins offers his arm it's like omgomgomgomgomgomg totally cute moment!</div>

I love the empire shape of this dress, beaded and gemmed throughout. It moves so beautifully when she walks and dances. It's definitely wedding dress material!</div>

When I was a kid, this was my second favourite outfit (after the Embassy Ball outfit) because it was pink and there were grapes in her hat. The shape of her jacket is really interesting, with it being pointed in the front and long and pleated in the back.</div>

Imagine walking down the street now with that ensemble! This is the last and most feminine outfit for Eliza, a pink chiffony organza dress with ruffles and a huge rosette with a matching ruffly hat. Here she is finally a lady - perfect hair, rosy cheeks, and a reasonable, fair, forgiving attitude, coming back to stubborn old Higgins. I don't like the ending too much, but I like that it stays true to the characters. It would not have been Higgins if he suddenly became head over heels drooling over Eliza. So I guess it was a good compromise :)</div>

<br />
I'm having another Movie Break ♥ I love to watch old movies because the clothes are always so gorgeous and lovely and I always like to look at fashions from another decade.<br />
<br />
This choice is not completely random though - if you can guess where this story takes place, you'll know what one of my destinations are for that trip I told you about in my last post!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v178/pinkunome/2012%2002%2001/00.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="201" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v178/pinkunome/2012%2002%2001/00.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
My Fair Lady has always been one of my favourite movies, it was the first Audrey Hepburn film I've watched in my life. My mom used to play it for me when I was a child, and I would love the extravegent clothes, the beautiful sets, and gorgeous, funny Audrey Hepburn.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The film starts off with beautiful flowers and gorgeous gowns. All the ladies are dressed perfectly, with piled up hair and rosy cheeks. The rich and the poor are contrasted very dramatically in this film. I find that in this scene, and often in the rest of the film, they use a lot of straight lines on set when they show the upper class, possibly to give off a neat, formal feeling, a feeling of order.<br />
<br />

<br />
After the rain scene which gets all the upper class people in a flurry, we get our first glimpse of Eliza Doolittle, in her black straw hat, dark green overcoat and yellowed apron. It's a big contrast to the pastel gowned, neat, clean, beautifully dressed ladies in the first scene. She is more free in her manner, running around, slouching onto columns, messy hair and dirty face.<br />
<br />
As the movie progresses, Eliza goes from wearing dark heavy fabrics to light flowy fabrics. This is her darkest coloured outfit in the movie, with a dark faded green, plum and black.<br />

<br />
Here is Eliza, with her funny attempt to dress up. I can just imagine her making up her mind about going to find Dr. Higgins, throwing open her closet and putting on all her most expensive clothes, making the extra effort to match her orange neck tie to the orange feathers in her hat. She is still wearing heavy fabrics, like her velvet jacket, and her thin stole pales in comparison to the full, flowy stoles shown in the first picture.<br />

I love Eliza's room (a little too floral but still cute), especially the wash basin and tipping pitcher! Imagine how annoying it must be during that time to take a hot bath, or a bath in general. Knowing how bad I am with hot things, I'd probably burn myself with the hot water from that hot kettle!</div>

After a hilarious 'bath attack', we see a clean and nicely dressed Eliza, with a side-swirl hairstyle that was popular in the Edwardian era. Her dress is in a lighter shade of brown, with pretty scalloped details. The huge bow in her hair is too cute!</div>

Another pretty outfit, with a lovely belted rust orange skirt. I find that in a lot of scenes, Higgins has small details in his outfit that matches the colours of Eliza's outfits. For example, in this scene, he has a small orange handkerchief in his breast pocket.</div>

And here they are matching in beige. I think this outfit is very cute, especially with the tie and pendant. Did anyone else feel sorry for her when Higgins fed the last strawberry tart to the bird instead of Eliza?!? I really felt for her at that moment :(</div>

Here is Eliza in her big 'Eureka!!' moment. Even though she is dressed in a dark colour, it is a flowy emerald green dress, lightened by a white pinstripe blouse, and a small bouquet of violets tucked into her belt.</div>

I think this is the cutest nightgown ever, it has cream yellow ribbons!! Look how she blends into her surroundings now, such a big difference from the dark brown velvet jacket and gawdy black hat she was wearing when she first moved in.</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">So I've been kind of having my head in the clouds these days, everything's just been floating by, a Luna Lovegood kind of week. It's been harder than usual for me to write up my blog entries, things don't seem to flow as easily so...</span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;">I like glitter. Especially on my fingertips.</span><br />

Nothing too complicated about this week's Nail Love. I concentrated the bigger glitters at the tips and piled on the top coat to get a streamlined, smooth look, as glitter coats tend to dry bumpy.</div>

I'm in love with this gorgeous black and blue colour! This is one of the colours I bought from Nail Inc.'s Special Effects collection. It really makes me think of being underwater and looking up to see the rays of sunlight getting reflected off the fishes and eventually getting broken up as it goes into the depths of the ocean.<br />

Heart Rhinestones</div>
<br />
You can see here the look after putting on the layers. It starts out as a creamy black (step 1) and once you paint on several coats of the overcoat (step 2), it changes the colour and adds a new dimension to the nail. I love the holographic flakes in the overcoat! I finished the look by adding on a heart rhinestone (step 3) before the colour dries to help it stick and then sealed everything with a top coat. You can see on the edge of my thumb I have on a bit of Sephora by OPI's "Too Good for Him", a purple and blue glitter colour - I was experimenting with the look but then thought that the glitter would take away from the beautiful colour.<br />
<br />
I hope you like this week's Nail Love! I'm really liking this rhinestone on the nail look, what do you guys think?<br />

I am totally in a romantic mood with my Nail Love this week, because I am celebrating my 2 year anniversary with my boyfriend :)))))) The time has passed unbelievably fast and it feels like I've known him forever yet have only met him yesterday. It's a strange but wonderful feeling and I feel so lucky and grateful to have met him ♥</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This week's look is a more experimental one with a barely-there pale pinky colour and a glittery half moon, which I've done using the reinforcement technique. I placed a heart rhinestone on top of each nail, but on the pinky is a simple rhinestone to balance with the smaller size of that nail.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have to admit I like the look of this more from far away. The glitter and the rhinestones give an understated luminescent twinkle which I think is very elegant. When I start looking at it up close too much, it starts to look odd. Maybe it's the barely-there colour. Or my short nails (yes, to me, this is considered short). I've had to trim them because I've been sick and hadn't felt like lattes in the morning, which is how I get my daily calcium so my nails have been getting chipped and sad.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, I hope you guys liked this week's Nail Love! Have a wonderful weekend :)</div>

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Josefin Sans';"><span style="line-height: 24px;">So one of the few things I did manage to do last week was watch Breakfast at Tiffany's. It's one of my go-to movies for when I'm feeling down. I love everything about it, the characters, their quirks, the random storyline, the script, the way they talk and enunciate the words. Oh, did I mention Audrey Hepburn?</span></span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Josefin Sans'; line-height: 24px; text-align: center;">This film is one of the results of the great collaboration between Hubert de Givenchy and his muse, Audrey Hepburn. One thing I love about how Givenchy did the wardrobe for Holly Golightly is that he didn't give her many pieces as her character is desperately trying to save up money (she doesn't even have a chequing account), but instead uses accessories and mixes and matches to get different looks. Here are my favourite looks from the movie.</span></div>

The famous opening scene where Holly Golightly eats breakfast at Tiffany's in her iconic black gown. Such a classic look. I love the long strands of pearls, highlighting the back of the dress, and how she keeps the look young with those famous Wayfarers.</div>

Who doesn't love that darling eye mask? There are a couple places where you can buy lookalikes online, but I still have not found the perfect replica yet. This look is so adorable, the purple tassel ear plugs are perfect for Holly!</div>

Five minutes later, she is fashionably dressed and ready to go! I love the scene of her getting ready with Paul. It's so cute! This is the first scene where you see Holly's little black dress, which she wears multiple times in this movie. It's a wonderful, versatile piece, knee-length with a ruffly hem. I love how she accessorizes with a big black hat, cute dangly pearl earrings and black alligator shoes!</div>

So cute here, look how happy she is to see Paul! I never figured out what exactly that is, a towel? A curtain? A bedsheet? It must be a bed sheet because it had to have been big enough to cover her... Well anyway, she looks so good!</div>

Here she is wearing the same little black dress from the earlier getting-ready scene. All she had to do is to accessorize with bubbly, sparkly earrings, a huge bib necklace, and a long cigarette holder and she has a totally different look!</div>

Back to her little black dress! This time she adds a fluffy hat, a brooch to her dress and the earrings from the party scene. Does anyone else think that part where Doc carries her back into her apartment is so awkward?</div>

Look how cute and happy they are walking down the street! The orange coat is stunning on Holly and Paul is looking very dapper as well. The scene in Tiffany's is one of my favourites, I love the way they speak so eloquently about an otherwise awkward situation. I wonder if Tiffany's would still engrave something that wasn't bought at their place today. And the bit in the Five and Ten is so cute, I love that Holly tries to steal the fish bowl.</div>

Finally, the last outfit! Holly is getting ready with Paul as she is at the beginning of the movie, putting on the same little black dress but wearing the beige trench coat on top for another serious moment! It looks perfect cinched in the waist and with her black alligator shoes. And who else loves that beautiful lipstick colour? She looks absolutely gorgeous!</div>

I wanted to create a look for this week's Nail Love that is elegant yet whimsical to ring in the New Year. I spied this beautiful blue colour at Sephora that was perfect for the look. Even the name was perfect: "Countdown to the Kiss"!<br />

I couldn't pick it up on my camera but there are actually light blue/teal-ish glitter in the polish - reminds me of the blue paint on cars. It's so beautiful and I can't stop looking at it, so I'm pretty disappointed that after many attempts, I still can't get it to show up on camera! If you have a Sephora near you, definitely go check it out! </div>

I had some spare time the other day and decided to do 4 of my holiday looks. They are not so dramatic because I've never been able to do those dramatic looks, but these are looks that I would do on myself. Hope you enjoy :)</div>

For a simple night of celebration - sometimes I just want to stay in and avoid the crazy crowds and traffic. This is my look if I stay in with family, comfy and cozy. I kept my hair straight and just have base makeup on with simple eyeliner. I love my new oversized sweater, it's in the softest, coziest shade of blue. It might not show up very well, but there are little pearls dotted throughout the sweater, so cute ♥</div>

For a romantic night of celebration with my boyfriend. I love this lace top from H&M, especially the sheer sleeves. For my hair, I have curled it with a curling iron, and then kind of softly teased it for extra volume at the bottom. I have also ran the curling iron through my bangs for a puffy, mushroom-like bang shape. For my makeup, I have added a deep brown shadow on my eyes, and have used it to create a winged shadow towards the outside. I have add peach blush on the apples of the cheeks and brushed the remaining over the bridge of my nose to create a soft, flushed glow.</div>

This year I decided to make Chocolate Crinkles. They are undoubtedly Christmas and look so pretty - it's ok if they crack, because <i>you want them to</i>!<br />
<br />
The recipe I used is <a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/chocolate-crinkles-ii/">here</a>. I would say I recommend it, simply because the texture is divine, so fudgy and softly chewy. However, next time I make it, I would consider adding more of a chocolate flavour and less sugar, because these were kind of too sweet and not chocolately enough for me. Otherwise, it's so easy and fun to make and yummy to eat :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I only have a picture of the batter after we've mixed it, because before this it was chunky and runny at the same time and.... just not so appetizing for the eye.<br />
<br />

These ones we made smaller so the effect is not so dramatic, but they're so cute! These are all in the span of about 10 minutes. I love watching it, my boyfriend makes fun of me because I sit next to the oven like it was the TV and concentrate on it like nothing else.<br />
<br />
Here's them out of the oven, I just love the crackling and the dark chocolate against the white powdered sugar snow!<br />

I wanted something cute and Winter inspired for my Christmas weekend, so here are my Snowflake-kissed nails! I used nail stickers for the snowflakes and that is what makes this look so easy. I've <strike>opened</strike> received most of my presents already, so I'm just looking forward to a (hopefully) relaxing weekend with my loved ones.</div>

Here are some images to get you into the gift-giving (or gift-opening, rather) mood! I adore pretty wrapped presents, and the simple colours of whites, beiges, and golds are a luxurious and whimsical palette.</div>

Santa Baby is such a cute Christmas song! I've been listening to Michael Buble's new Christmas album all week and I love his rendition of that classic song. It's clever how he tweeked the song to make it more applicable to guys.</div>

I wanted to incorporate Santa into my nails but I'm not too good at drawing so that means no Santa faces. Hopefully you guys recognize his cute little suit! I used a 3D nail art pen from Daiso to create the buttons, used a sharpie to colour in the "belt" (make sure that the polish is dry and hardened so you don't push the polish around and *gasp* end up colouring your own nail with a permanent marker) and painted on some gold for the buckle.</div>

This week my inspirations are the rich reds and golds decorating the city in pretty ornaments and glittering lights. I think red and gold is such an elegant colour combination, bold and festive, love it!<br />
<br />
Curve-aceous is a beautiful "opaque metallic cool candy apple", it has a great sheen to it, reminds me of the red twirl on the side of the candy cane :) I used the Frostiest Pink under the Anna Sui 709 because I wanted to add more of a beige undertone to the gold as the 709 is a light yellow-gold and I wanted a richer gold to go with the rich red underneath.<br />

What do you think? Aren't these pictures glamorous? I love that one with Elizabeth Taylor, she is absolutely gorgeous in that gold dress and the cute Christmas-y decoration.</div>

I hope you guys liked this week's Nail Love. I've been feeling so festive and Christmas-y and I love it! And of course, helping me get into this wonderful mood is the wonderful Christmas music! My good friend Sara burned me a CD back when we were in school of this Korean girl group called Big Mama. It's their Christmas album and I listen to it every year. If you like jazzy rhythms, beautiful voices and wonderful harmonies, they are definitely the music to listen to ♥<br />

The temperature has been consistently going down this week and all I can think of are warm wools, soft chiffon silk, and knit layers to keep me warm. There is nothing I would like to do more than to sit in front of the <strike>heater</strike> fireplace with a warm blanket, comfy leg warmers, and a nice big mug of hot chocolate.<br />
<br />
My nails this week are a simple, creamy nude with a dash of sparkle, like the holiday magic soon to arrive at our doorsteps :)<br />

Under: Sephora Nonfat Soy Half Caff</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Over: Sephora Traffic Stopper Copper</div>
<br />
The prima donna of this week is the Traffic Stopper Copper, a glittery coppery rose gold glitter. I really love this one! It is perfect on top of blush tones and nude shades. Nonfat Soy Half Caff is a pale milky nude shade, a perfect backdrop for the rosy gold on top. I wanted to keep the look simple and fresh, so I have applied glitter just at the tips. Reminds me of reflected light off a flickering bonfire.<br />
<br />
I hope you liked this week's Nail Love. These pictures are so serene, pretty, feminine - perfect for the girly girl in me :)<br />

Since we got our first snow, I have been inspired by all things frosty and shimmery. My nails this week are a cool glittery blue, inspired by the shimmering frost that appear every morning as I step out of my house.<br />

Havana Dreams is a creamy cool tone baby blue, and it goes incredibly well with Naughty is the New Nice (loving the name!), from the Sephora by OPI Glimmer Wonderland Collection. Naughty is the New Nice is an icy blue with fine silver glitter, making it a cool, frosty choice for my ice inspired nails.<br />
<br />
For the gradation effect, I simply used a small piece of foundation sponge to stipple on the glitter polish. Concentrate on the tips first as that is where you want the colour to be the darkest. Then, as the nail polish gets used up, start stippling it upwards to create a soft gradation of colour. Go slowly as you can always go back and add more - it's actually kind of fun and takes no time! Great for makeover night with the girls! Just remember to let the bottom coat set first as you don't want to make a dent in the bottom colour. <br />
<br />
Hope you liked this week's Nail Love! I had so much fun doing them :) Let me know what you think! And to the people living in the US, happy Thanksgiving!<br />

It was crazy at Sephora over the weekend, especially with the VIB 20% off sale, it was almost like Christmas!! (can we just skip forward to Christmas now pretty please? did everyone notice how one day after Halloween, the Christmas decorations are up already in the stores?!)<br />
<br />
Glitter nail polishes are such forgiving things to work with because if you mess up and smudge it, just add a tiny drop and it will somehow blend right in. They also have the power of camoflauging any smudges underneath, so if you mess up your french manicure, make it a glitter french manicure and it will look great! <br />
<br />
There are so many new glitter coats out this season that I just had to try them all! I couldn't decide so I layered two together.<br />
<br />

<br />
The 212-Sephora is black with iridescent, gold and copper chunky glitter. You can see from the photos that from different angles, the polish looks totally different, from holographic green to brown-black, and even dark gold in the light.<br />
<br />
The Donmar is the overglaze polish of 'The Donmar Collection' from the new Nails Inc. Special Effects collection - A red-gold holographic flake glittery polish. It is a bit harder to see with the glitters already underneath, and unfortunately I couldn't pick it up with my camera, but from different angles, you can see pinky reddish glitters which brings out the gold in the 212-Sephora. Sadly, it was sold out, so I picked up 'The Old Vic Collection' instead as it was my boyfriend's favourite out of the series.<br />

Half moon manicures are deliciously vintage, first appearing in the 1920s. It has already made a comeback in the 1940s so it's no surprise that it's making yet another comeback this year! And it's no surprise that the half moon manicure took off - beauty and make up has always revolved around the look of health and well-being. Traditional Chinese medicine has always taught that nails, and especially half moons on the nails, were a sign of good blood circulation and overall health. <br />
<br />
I did this look using the new <a href="http://thebeautydepartment.com/2011/09/blue-moon/">technique with reinforcements</a>. It was easier than I expected and a lot of fun! Just stick the reinforcements on the area you want to keep clean, and paint the second colour over it. This look is best on longer, oval shaped nails, as the half moon will take away from the length of the nail. Next time I think I should use a base colour not so close to my skin tone... from far away I look like I have wierd short rainbow shaped nails.<br />
<br />
I originally just wanted the OPI (hot pink) on top, but it was way too sheer so I had to put on a thin layer of the Anna Sui (dark pastel purple with pink and iridescent glitters) to create a bigger contrast.<br />
<br />
It's such a girl thing to say "oh no I broke a nail :((((((((", isn't it?? But I find it really annoying when you spent time doing your nails and then ONE nail gets chipped or breaks and ruins the whole look. I have a bad habit of using my nails for things and at the end of every week my nails are a mess. Good thing there is a Sephora nearby where I can get my nail polish fix ♥<br />
<br />
Love these looks! Of course, who can resist a little Chanel, even on their nails?<br />
