Review: Dearlee Gold Color Glitter Nail Polish from Born Pretty Store

Finally got the chance to try on my new Dearlee Gold Color Glitter Nail Polish from Born Pretty Store. They sent it to me for review purposes but it has not in any way affected my whole point of view, opinion and thoughts on this product :)

At first glance you might be thinking its an OPI, but I'm telling you its not because such nail polish is so expensive, and being a cheapo I wont allow myself to buy something worth that much, especially for a bottle of nail polish. Good thing I found this one on BPS, because it really reminds me os those glitter nail polishes from OPI :)

There are glitter specs of different sizes, but the most obvious ones are the bigger hexagonal shaped glitters. I'd have to say that the bluish green color dominates because of its sizes, but this shade is really a gold, thus the name gold glitter nail polish ;)

Under normal lighting (outside, without flash), it looks like a dark shade. This photo was taken in the afternoon, btw.

But with flash, you will obviously see the gold glimmer that it gives. Yay me is happy ^_^ Haha. I think this is the first time that I am wearing something gold-ish on my nails, and I feel very sophisticated with this one on my nails lol. It feels elegant and classy, something those rich girls would want to paint their nails on.

The bottle is also a chubby one, just like most glitter nail polish bottles are. But the brush handle could get you confused with crackle nail polishes, just because the handle has cracked designs.

Brush is okay, I am able to pick up as much glitter in one setting, and its also easy to apply on my nails. Believe me I am not in any way good at nail polish application but I never had a problem using this brush, except of course for man made errors like me stabbing my nails with the brush and getting the edges of my fingers dirty hehe.

Overall, its a really pretty nail polish and a very good alternative for those expensive brands that you have most likely heard about. And for a girl like me who will definitely find it hard to own an international brand (most likely because its too expensive and/or they are not locally available and buying online is not a good choice either because shipping and tax will make it more expensive than it is already), this is pretty much a saving grace for me. I love that I finally own a glitter nail polish, and I will surely be getting more of these next time.

P.S. As I was trying to change the settings on my camera, I accidentally pressed on it with a random setting and here is the outcome. Isn't this what they call bokeh or something? Those out of focus light photos wherein the lights become circle-ish and are just really pretty. Haha I cant explain what and how it is, but this bottle of nail polish certainly gave me this nice photo effect :)

Now did I get you interested with this product? IF you are, then you might want to check it out over at Born Pretty Store, or click this LINK. This 15ml bottle of nail polish retails at only $4.22, and if you use my coupon JELW21, you will automatically get an additional 10% OFF your total purchase. And on top of that, Born Pretty Store ships worldwide for free! Yay.

The 2012 Kia Rio Scavenger Hunt

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Kia Rio for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I love adventures. I am a great fan of the outdoors and travelling especially if it involves hunting out for something. The thrill is just so overwhelming that the whole experience itself is very much worth everything. Speaking of Adventure Hunt, have you all heard about the Kia Rio Scavenger Hunt 2012? Well then, let me tell you more about it.

This year, Kia sent two pairs of bestfriends to LA on a geocache challenge to participate in the 2012 Kia Rio 5-door. They will be doing a scavenger hunt, which involves looking for hidden clues as well as discovering the beauty and landmarks of Los Angeles. And the prize? A Hollywood celebrity! Awesome, isnt it?

The journey through LA will be made easier and faster with the help of Kia's sleek, high tech and user friendly vehicle. Getting through the streets of LA has never been easy. With the help of Kia's latest bluetooth system, rear camera display, innovative USB input jack and more incredible features and UVO Technology intigrated in this amazing car, the search for Christina Milian will be over soon before you'll know it.

Now as for the geography, here are the places in which the teams will be going to: The griffith Park Merry-Go-Round, which is actually a historical landmark in LA since 1937. This is also known to be the place where Walt Disney first brought his children before Disneyland came to life. Then they will also be going through one of the most popular historic music store, the Amoeba Records wherein you will be able to find rare vinyl, CDs, tapes, music memorabilias and if you're lucky you might even catch a live show. The journey just keeps getting better as the team will be able to go to one of the most expensive and swanky destinations in Beverly Hills, and that is the Rodeo Drive. Another stop will be Pink's Hot Dogs, an LA favorite food stop which serves hot dogs of course which are by the way named after Hollywood Celebrities. And last but not the least, a little bit of fun and excitement at The Roosevelt Hotel, which is in the middle of Hollywood Blvd and is home to both history and the best parties in LA.

If you want to know more about this Kia Rio event, here's a video that you can watch. You can also check out the Rio Explorer Page for more details.



Overall, I think that this event hosted by Kia is really one big event that I hope to be able to participate in. Not only because I want to be able to meet a star, but because I just love adventures and going to places. Among the challenges, I think the most challenging will be the one at the park, only because most park are usually big and has lots of people, so finding what you want might be hard on a crowded place.

Now what do you think of the Kia Rio Scavenger Hunt? If given the chance, would you also like to participate on something like this? I sure would love to, especially if I will get to meet celebrities. I wouldn't go on babble names as there are a lot that I would like to meet. And if ever, I'm going to bring my little sister with me so that she also enjoy the ride |:)

Nail Art Goodies from Born Pretty Store

After reviewing the Dearlee Apple Green Nail Polish, Echo from Born Pretty Store has again sent me another product to review. This time they let me choose two items, and I choose the Gold Glitter Nail Polish and the Magnetic Nail Polish in #60 .

These came in after a month and I am super excited to try them out. I didn't realized that the glitter nail polish is also from Dearlee, so basically I now have two from that brand :) The magnetic nail polish on the other hand is from a brand called CH Nail, and its my first time to hear from this brand. Not to mention, its my first time to try out the magnetic nail polish trend.

I choose this color because my little sister loves the shade of violet, and I kinda miss her because she is not here. This sort of reminds me of her :|

And this particular glitter nail polish was a dream come true, especially since I couldn't afford the one from OPI. Haha :p

I'll be reviewing these stuffs soon so please do watch out for my coming posts. Once again I would like to thank Echo and Born Pretty Store as they have always been kind and friendly to me. Definitely one of the best online shops I have ever been too, and I really mean it, not just becuase they are a sponsor. 

I really miss doing nail art posts and I hope I can be back to my regular almost everyday blog posting. Until then, take care :)
