[Tried & Tested] 'Polka-Dot It' Nails With House Of Holland Nailed By Elegant Touch

Hi Huneybees,

House of Holland, a brand name that's not a stranger in the London Fashion scene has teamed up with Elegant Touch to create a range of bold, fashionable nails. Designer Henry Holland has been known for his strong, colourful and playful prints, with a touch of his renowned sense of humour and uniquely irreverent aesthetic, and this range of House of Holland Nailed by Elegant Touch does not fall short on that.

The stiletto shaped nails are "housed" in a kaleidoscope layout, showing off the on-trend fashionable nails. What I have is the monochrome with 3D dots - 'Polka-Dot It', and knowing that I'm a colourful person, this was a change for me. But the 3D polka dots are so fun to look at and play with!

In the set, not only do you get the 10 displayed nails, there are also another 14 more with/without dots for you to play around with the designs. There's also a nail file, instructions booklet and a nail glue.

So, once I've filed my nails to the right length, I picked out the designs I wana do on my nails and lined them up accordingly. With just 2 drops of the nail glue on the back of the nails, I pressed it hard onto my own nails, allowing it to dry and stick on.

I've always been skeptical about fake nails as past experiences of them coming off easily just by getting something out of my bag, is simply too irritating. I usually have to carry the nail glue around with me and it was too much a hassle!

But when I got the 'Polka-dot-it', I have to say kudos to the glue! I had the nails applied for almost a week and I was attending events, rummaging through my bag, taking photos, instagramming, typing and not a single nail showed any sign of falling off! 

I simply love them and everyone were loving them, a lady even stopped me whilst I was shopping to snap a picture of my nails. Hehehe! And did I mention, they go so well with the leather punk style, stack up on those studs as well!

The House of Holland Nailed by Elegant Touch are available in 6 designs (Get Nailed, Classy Nude, Face Ache, Zig Zag Stardust, Polka-Dot It & Geek Chic) and you can find them at selected Watsons Singapore store at the price of SGD$13.90.

Have fun nailing it!

Putting on PAPERSELF Lashes

Eversince I learned about PAPERSELF, I never stop lusting over it. Paper Lashes is simply too appealing and imagine my excitement when I was told by PAPERSELF, they would be sending a pair over for me to put on and review about them!

"So, which pair would I be getting?" This was the only question I had for the week, whilst waiting for my surprise to arrive...

Can you guess which designed I got?

I received the Deer and Butterfly pair!

With intricate designs and packaging, I really couldn't bear to take them out of the box! I was contemplating when to wear them and finally, I decided to wear them for clubbing!

I would say this was one of my favourite from their many designs. The butterflies were so flirtatious at the end of the lashes! However, I find it was a pity that the deer was not very visible. But nonetheless, I still liked the effect it has on my lashes and it was not that exaggerating as I thought it would be! It's like any false lashes, with lash glue and a tweezer, you can wear the lashes easily within minutes!

Gorgeous! I love how all the attention is at the eyes!

Although the lashes looks good with any colour eyeshadow, I still think nude colours are best for the lashes to fully stand out and let the designs be obvious. Even though it was said for one time use only, you could simply cut the lashes into parts for different placements along the eyes and the pair I wore, was taken off with much care and I actually managed to wear it the second time before throwing the pair of lashes away!

I would highly recommend these lashes for parties and events and especially for this festive season! Head on over to any Topshop or Sephora stores to get yourself some amazing lashes! 

Happy Shopping!

XOXO,
Christina aka Huney

Range of PAPERSELF Lashes.

PAPERSELF have been producing and extensive line of pretty paper lashes and recently, they have just launched their latest collection and they are:

• The British Collection - Rose and London skyline a tribute to Britain’s craftsmanship, inventiveness and sprit. The essence has been conveyed using the iconic imagery with subtle cultural influences. This collection celebrates Queens Diamond Jubilee in U.K. and London taking the central stage for Olympic and Paralympic games.

• The V&A Collection - Lace Garden is the special collection with Victoria & Albert Museum. Given the brief of LACE by the V&A, our team was inspired by French silk bobbin lace from the nineteenth century.

The ‘London’ lashes represent the city skyline with iconic buildings like Tower Bridge, London Eye
and Big Ben and ‘Rose’ the national flower of England is elegance in true fashion.
Rose: Rose needs no words
London Skyline: So London

The Lace Collection: Lace Garden: Glamorous Elegance
‘The Lace Garden’ is the theme of the very first exclusive collaboration between PAPERSELF and
the Victoria & Albert Museum. The Lace Collection launched in early September in the store and
online. Given the brief of LACE by the V&A, the PAPERSELF team was inspired by French silk bobbin lace from the nineteenth century. The diverse and delicate floral patterns brought the theme of
floral gardens to the PAPERSELF team’s imagination. With the refined lace patterns, exquisitely cut
details and tactile structure, Lace Garden is a wonderful combination of vintage and
contemporary design.

It is now available in the main gallery store and online website in the V&A. http://www.vam.ac.uk or go to www.paperself.com for more information.

I can't wait to get my hands on the lashes. So many ways to wear them, so many different looks. What about you? Like the lashes? Will you be getting them too?
