All the way from Singapore!
From the lovely Fern who runs Polished Serenity
Skin Food
Ah, problem. They don't have names so...
Creamy Green
Sparkly Red
Foily Amethyst
Line-up from a different angle - I just love the manila labels! And polish specifically for pedicures! Hurrah.
This one is still in the plastic and I like scrumpling the bag so that stays on.
Sparkly Magenta
2 Rainbow and a Canmake. No names.
Er, candyfloss pink, blue-tinged pink, sparkles in pink.
And...
Shampoo + conditioner sachets. Useful as I had my hair cut today and it could do with a good conditioning.
A blackcurrant sweet sachet which I thought at first was a (poor eyesight) BLACK CARROT sweet.
Mmmm, *eats all 5 little sweets in one go* quite powerful.
A serum which Fern (Fern, you ARE lovely) has written instructions for use on in English because it's in "Singaporean". I am so ignorant that I don't know what language it is - Malay? Better go a-googling.
I must start adding sweets/candies to swaps. I forgot how much people like them.
What's the weirdest sweet you've ever had? Personally I detest liquorice and can't understand why anyone likes it. But black carrot actually rather appealed to me.
And have you ever done a swap?
I'm about to do my RH nails with one of these polishes. The first person to post a comment guessing correctly will receive an email from me asking their address and ultimately a parcel of polishes based on their preferences for tried/untried (obviously there's less choice if you opt for untried only) and colours and finishes. But wait for me to ask you. Any country but postage can be expensive so a UK resident might just get a bigger haul. But surface mail (ship) is fairly cheap so that might work.
So just guess which of the swap polishes above I am about to paint on my nails. Or just tell me about sweets if you don't want any polishes. For a teacher I can be very poor at exposition so I hope that's clear.

Laneige is actually Korean! ^.^ Sadly there is no singaporean language unless you count 'Singlish'.

And I AM SO GLAD YOU GOT IT! :)
And asian nailpolishes NEVER have names. At most a jumble of letters and numbers
Oh my god look at the labels on those top two bottles! I'm a complete sucker for manilla labels, just fab.
ReplyDeleteI love Asian supermarkets, the bizarre beauty products and strange snacks.
Black carrot sweets sound yum. I had a packet of Pineapple Lumps from NZ and ate them in minutes.
Those polishes look beautiful :) The labels are so cute!
ReplyDeleteAnd since you dont have the name/url option on your blog heres mine ;

Oh, I can totally do this! Looking deep within your soul, I can see that you are about to paint...sparkly magenta...on your nails. Right? Of course right!
ReplyDeleteI love those Coca-Cola/root beer-flavored candies you can only ever seem to find in Asia. All the cloying bodily destruction of soda and sweets in one!
foily amethyst FTW :D
ReplyDeletei have that colour too... its beautiful :)
