Beauty: My Nail Art Kit

I have been into nail arts recently that I decided to get more nail polishes for myself. Actually, I have been very fancy of nail colours and arts since long ago but, being a dental student, I need to set a standard for myself to keep my nails short and clean. Even though some people agrees that it is alright to have nail polishes on because somehow we will still be wearing gloves when treating patients but, I would like to draw the line here. No nail polishes during clinics.
So, I've been collecting some nail colours for this past few weeks and arranging them into this nice cookie tin that I got from London.

I don't really have a wide range of colours but, enough for me to do a few nail arts like, vintage rose, galaxy and easter bunny nails. But, I still need to get some more colours like, a classic white.

So, these are the colours that I got here. And most of them are quite cheap. The cheapest I got is just 18rs. But, I did splurge on some good colours that costed me 100rs each.

And these are the good nail colours that I have. Sally Hansen, which I thought was just another ordinary cheap colours but realised that it's a really good brand! And this purple sherbet Ciaté that my sister got for me for free from a magazine.

And some miscellaneous stuffs that I keep in the kit for me to do nail arts like a hair pin, brush, toothpick, crochet needle and a tweezer.

So, these are what I keep in my nail art kit. I am so excited that I keep taking a look at it and play with the colours. I am so thankful for so many gifted girls who are so willing to share their tips and tutorials on youtube on how to do these nail arts. I usually watch bubzbeauty and cutepolish. Do give them a try and watch their tutorials on youtube! =)

Blogger on iPad

Update: Just tried out the app but to my disappointment, it is still impossible for me to upload photos, edit the size and arrange them! Urgh. Anyone has any good ideas? Please, please let me know! Thanks! 

Yessss! I was literally struggling while trying to write the previous post on my iPad. It is so difficult to upload photos here because I don't have them here. They are either on instagram or in the phone's photo gallery. And I have no idea on how to transfer the photos to here. What a noob I am.
Right after the previous post, I immediately went to the app store knowing that there must be an app for me to use to blog. And guess what, there it is, a Blogger app! I am so thankful! But, I have yet to justify how good this app is since this is just the first time I am using it to blog.

I was scrolling for photos on my iPad, trying to find inspirations for me to write about. The thing is, this is not my iPad at the first place. My daddy actually passed it down to me after upgrading a mini iPad for himself so, most of the photos here are not mine. Okay, you guys must be thinking, why am I using this to blog?! Good question. It is because my laptop is currently dysfunctional. It went dead about a month ago because I left it on and it overheated. :(
But, I don't find it as devastating as I would be if this were to happen a few months ago, all thanks to this iPad. XD

I am trying to fill this space with as many photos as I can because I know that words can be really boring at times. And people tend to avoid reading and choose to look at the photos instead, just like me sometimes. Lol. So, here are some photos that I took when I was in London last summer. =)

Me with my parents at Wimbledon

Us at Chinatown!

Me with these super huge, cute dogs at London Eye <3

Okay, this one is a cheat. This is me at Basel, not London. And I am so much thinner here than I am now! *so sad* 

Turning over a new leaf

What happened to me?! I used to love writing online journals, recording every part of my life and sharing joy to everyone out there but, ever since I started doing my degree, I kind of lost it. It felt like a burden rather than something I am looking forward to do. And everything is so hard for me to keep up to.
Despite all these, I am turning over a new leaf. I want to start afresh, stating a new, clean page. How is that for a change? :P

I am still thinking of what I should focus on here. Whether to write on beauty or desserts or my personal life. Or a combination of everything? The thing is, I happen to love everything. I am in love with make ups, nail arts and everything beauty! At the same time, I am a baking queen wannabe. I started baking a year ago after moving out of hostel, owning an oven and making really yummy sweets. But then again, I do love writing about my thoughts out on anything because sometimes, it does feels better to let it all out rather than to keep everything to myself.

Did my friend's sister''s nails the other day! Loving the vintage roses and this is actually inspired by bubzbeauty, one of my favourite youtube beauty gurus. 

I did this for my housemate as well. Galaxy nails inspired by cutepolish, one of the nail art gurus on youtube as well. 

So, what do you think? Beauty, desserts or my life? Well, nobody says we have to stick to just one genre! So, I think I will start to write about anything that I love. Afterall, isn't that what blogging is all about? XD
I cannot wait to start writing again and I really hope, so much, that I can keep to my promise to write as often as I can. :)

Why caterpillar?

I feel very much like a caterpillar sometimes. Not literally. It is not the most beautiful creature, yet and definitely not everyone's favourite. Yet, it doesn't give up and wait patiently until the day when it finally turns into a beautiful butterfly.

Just like a caterpillar, I am not the best looking girl who has the perfect teeth, nice eyebrows or a good nose. And I am a fat girl. And I am not the kind of friend people would favour for. Do you ever notice caterpillars are always alone? Besides being killed by insecticides because they always eat up all of the leaves from your plants, they are practically alone all by themselves. People just don't like caterpillars. Even I find them disgusting. Bleh.

But, once they are never just caterpillars. They let time mould them into something beautiful. Okay, I know this is a little bit like the ugly duckling but, ugly duckling is just too mainstream.

Maybe it is the weight rebound I am having and the exams stress that made me in my worst condition.

Despite all these, I know I have God. I have my family, boyfriend and true friends to love me no matter what. I will continue to grow in Him and let Him mould me into a beautiful butterfly one day.

Nobody will be stuck as a caterpillar forever, right. =)

New beginning...

Welcome my friends, to my new blog called, Miss Caterpillar Girl. Ignore the title of my blog. I will come to that soon.

Something went wrong with my domain. I have no idea. It always happen whenever I want to start writing again. This time, it is for real. I guess it is time to let go. I will not deny that it is a pain to let go all of the things I had written, those good and bad memories. Not to mention, my twenty-five kilos weight loss journey. All gone. I am certainly not delighted about that but, there are times in life that we have to just march forward without looking back. I know, all these sayings are just self-comforts.

I don't know whether I can retrieve my archives or not, but let's just hope for the best.

But, I am thankful, that I get to start all over again, to write about my life, my thoughts and everything down in a new sheet of paper. Well, let's hope that I can keep up with it. =)
