Another haul from JMC Nail Art

Hi Beauties!

Like I said May is officially my hauling month. I have got some more haul posts for you. Few days back I got my fourth order from JMC Nail Art. Here are the things I ordered this time.

 

1. Nail art stamping plate

2. Kitty earings

3. Oriflame very me no time for shine powder

4. Two fimo canes

 

I ordered this plate because of the skull design it had. I really liked it as it was different from all the florals normally etched on the plates. Plus its the perfect design for Halloween nail art too. The plate cost me Rs. 300.

 

Next, the kitty earings. I wanted to get them for quite sometime but I always ended up asking for them late. They were always out of stock. No wonder, they are so cute and adorable. I already have the kitty necklace which I ordered sometime back from JMC. Here is the link to that post. The earings are of excellent quality with smooth and fine finishing. The earings cost Rs. 500.

 

I ordered the Oriflame Very me no time for shine pressed powder but the ones oriflame sent to Pakistan are in this packing belonging to a different product range. Its from their Visions range. The pressed powder looks peachy. i have not tried it yet, lets see how it turns out. This pressed powder is available for Rs. 349 at JMC. However I got it for Rs. 300 only.

I originally ordered two fimos. Snce there was a buy one get one free offer going on at JMC I got two fimos free with the ones I ordered. Each fimo is for Rs. 100.

Last but not the least I got free goodies from JMC :D These are the two rings I got.

These are antique gold colored rings and are adorable. I wore them to work on Friday and got compliments from all my female collegues on the style and design. The winged one is different and a real eye catcher while the rose one is simply too cute to miss. Both the rings are adjustable and fit me perfectly. See, this is why I order from JMC, I get free goodies everytime ;) (I am just kidding) :p There is another reason too, I got a 10% discount as well on my overall order :) (I am again kidding) :p These are not the only reasons, the reason I place order with her over and over is because of her professional attitude and good quality stuff. If you do not believe me try it yourself. You can visit her Face book page bo clicking on the following link. You will have the most wonderful shopping experience. This whole order along with delivery charges cost me Rs. 1345. Reasonable, eh? Hope you guys liked my haul. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!

Goofing with Fimo canes!!

Hi Beauties!

Here is a fun post for you girls. I am going to share my first ever experience with fimo canes. This post is for all those who fail in their first attempts, be it at applying fimo canes or creating an eye look or a flawless makeup application. Its ok if you do not do well the first time. It requires time and practice to improve so do not lose hope and be a little patient. So here is my first goofy attempt to putting on fimos on my nails :)

Here is what I used:

1. A nail color to serve as a base coat. Im using Sally Hansen French shell shimmer in natural color. It has shimmer particles and gives out a very natural shimmery glow to the nails.

2. A blade to cut the fimos. I tried this surgical blade and later a paper cutter too but my hands gave away. I am going to get myself a proper fimo cutter now. I found it really hard to cut fimos :(

3. A fimo cane. I purchased a few from from JMC. You can check out its Face book page by clicking on the link. I also did a haul post for the things I got formyself. You can also view the post for fimos here. Each fimo cost me around Rs. 100.

4. A nail glue. I used Kroxx nail glue. Got it for Rs. 60 from Raja Sahib Link Road Model Town.

5. A clear top coat. I am using Medora base coat for top coating after the application of fimos. Its for Rs. 95 and is available at almost all cosmetics and departmental stores.

How I did it and what Happened:

I started off with applying Sally Hansen French shell shimmer as a base coat and letting it dry. When I was sure it has dried off I started off with cutting the fimo stick with the surgical blade you see above in the pictures. My Goodness! I never thought I'll be required to take in some energy boosting tabs before cutting them. I found it really hard to cut them, required quite some force. I thought maybe its the blade so I used a paper cutter instead but that too was of no avail. The results were the same. Few of them were really thick some of them slashed from the middle and they got cut in whatever mood the fimo felt like. Oh well I did not want to waste them and wanted to see how they look on my nails so I still used them. I put a drop of Kroxx nail glue on the nail where I wanted to stick the fimos and with the help of a tweezer I put the fimo over the glue drop. Apply a little pressure over the fimo with the tweezer for sometime till you are sure that fimo is sticked in place. You might notice the fimo slipping here and ther over the nail but you will get a hang of how much pressure to apply so that the fimo does not move. After sticking all the fimos I applied the Medora top coat and let it dry. Here is the final look

See how uneven and thick the fimos I have cut. But not to worry, this was my first attempt and I intend to improve with every application. My morale is still high :p I'll definitely do another post when I apply them again. This was all to my first encounter with fimos, I hope you enjoyed my goofy post. Drop in your comments and let me know. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!
