Let’s have a little sharing session.
What’s your nail colour of the day?
Mine is a bright bright red called Gorgeous, by Stage Cosmetics.
Yesterday was the first official day of Spring according to the Chinese lunar calendar and we were encouraged to wear red – so I did. A bright red dress 😀 And to get into the spirit of things, I painted my nails red too – Stage Gorgeous Nail Color was the shade of the day.
I purchased this for RM10 during the warehouse sale a couple of months ago. I believe it retails for RM35 a bottle in store so I got a great deal yes? 🙂
I love the colour. Its a bright bright scarlet with shimmer that is truly amazing when it catches the light. Personally, I find that when wearing red nails or strong coloured nail polish, it looks better on short nails. Red polish on long nails look like bloody talons *shudder*
I liked how Gorgeous went on smoothly and was easy to apply. The brush does not splay everywhere so I did not go too much out of line although I’m a klutz at applying nail polish. Looks just as great on the fingers as it does on the toes 😀
If this auspicious looking red polish doesn’t bring me luck for the rest of the year, I don’t know what will! 😀
So over to you – What is your nail colour of the day? Red for CNY? Pink for Valentine’s Day? Blue? Green? Nude? None? 😀

ParisB says

plue says
i don’t paint nails. my work HATES nail polish of any sort! 😛
but that red, it screams for attention!
ParisB says
Aww… why is your workplace so boring 😛 Perhaps sneak in a nude or light shade? 😉
plue says
put nail polish also no use. it chips. even my nails chip. stupid one. kenot wear ring or anything fancy cuz it all end up in scratches and i’d hate them liao. hahahaha
ParisB says
Haha there’s a reason I don’t wear nail polish on my fingernails too – chips! So I wear them when I feel like it and take them off in 2-3 days. Using a topcoat helps tons for the colour to stay on.

ParisB says

ParisB says
aiyiyi sounds very bling! 😀
rinnah says
Haha… mine is still the manicure I did for my birthday… gonna go for another round just before CNY and make it red!!! 😀
ParisB says
Yes yes! Red for CNY is perfect!
Hanny says
I’m going to have red nails for CNY too! Red with sparkles, but haihz, its all from a generic Sasa brand, hehheh.
ParisB says
That sounds pretty!
Kahani says
It looks pretty on your fingers. Am currently sporting Gorgeous on my toes. Fingers have Revlon’s light metallic pink polish – Blush.
ParisB says
Blush is a pretty name 🙂 Going to sport Gorgeous on my toes for CNY 🙂
winnie says
i have put on bright red on my toes. this is my first attempt, i like it.
ParisB says
Red on toes is sexaayyyy! 😀
Irene says
Nude pinks! Haha, my friends said it’s pointless coz they can hardly see unless my nails are right in front of them :P. The ones from Kate and Etude House are my faves.
OT, but anyone knows where to get Essie in M’sia?
ParisB says
Not being a nail afficionado I can’t help but maybe someone reading this can 🙂 As for nude shades – sometimes they help you look more polished overall. Nail colours aren’t always about making a statement 😉
Mei Ping says
I’m wearing Revlon’s Blushed on my toes and nails. At the tip of my nails I put on Anna Sui’s silver glitters.
I just made an order of OPI’s Parlez-vous OPI ? and Done out in Deco and Essie’s Chinchilly. OPI is RM30 each and Essie RM26.50. It’s my first time ordering from this website, so can’t vouch on its reliability. Am still thinking of the OPI’s mini Alice in Wonderland set.
ParisB says
Ooho very tempting prices there! 😀 Hope you have a safe experience!
izzah says
one question, how do u knw where and when a warehouse sale will be held? i’ve heard so many people going and they get products for a really cheap price! mind telling me where i can get the info?
ParisB says
The only way to know about sales is to keep your ear on the ground – information is also available in newspapers and online 🙂 I always share news on sales on my Facebook page when I hear of them. Hope that helps
Indira says
I rarely paint my nails, but my fave nail color is Revlon Get Reddy.
All Women Stalker says
Love red nails but I can’t seem to pull it off… I always stick to platinum and beige… as for today, I’m wearing platinum
Pearl says
Yea, i kinda agree long nails does not fit red colour, so it seems scary to paint my finger nails red! But I love it on my toe..I m so in love my Elianto Indian Red colour, super sexy on your toes and it match all my shoes..specially black and yellow (I had one lol). I seldom pain my finger nails too but I did for this CNY deliberately..Pink 129 Testimo, pink colour w a hint of glitters..
Happy Chinese New Year to PB and all Chinese readers!
