Xmas Collection 1 + Giveaway!

Something exciting to share here, before I blog about the outdoor shoot we did just this week for the upcoming collection!

I recently visited Candilicious Nails, a home-based nail parlor to do up my nails for Christmas and New Year, & I'm loving them loads! & yes, SIX&TWELVE is partnering with Candilicious Nails to for a free giveaway for the month of December (read on to find out more).

Here're pictures that I took from my last visit!

Cosy room with pink walls, which girl doesn't love pink! Loving how the white cupboard compliments the pink too!

Gelish! They're currently having a promotion for Gelish nails, check out their website to know more!

Here's some pictures of the process.

I didn't know what to do for my nails because I usually just paint them with colors I like (like pink, red, midnight blue, yes I know super boring, I don't even do French tips!), so I left it to Shanice to come up with a design for me! I think if you have some ideas in mind, you could communicate it with her, like show her a picture or something? I'm sure she'll be able to do it for you!

Pink gelish with maroon french tips! Loving the subtle glittery nails teehee.

Adding on the blings! I was surprised when I saw that she's putting more and more stuffs onto my nails, haha! But I love them! Especially the flowers on my nails, that are made of acrylic powder.

Drying them under LED light. The good thing about Gelish nails is that it takes only like 30 seconds to dry, and it won't chip and will last for dem dem long! Shanice chose a light pink base for me so that when my nails grow out, they won't be so obvious. So thoughtful right!

The complete product!

With a happy me! heehee :)

Here's the full set of gelish colors that she has, and us in the background looking silly haha!

Not forgetting the basic colors from OPI and other brands! You'll definitely be spoilt for choices.

One good thing I love about visiting a home-based nails parlor is that the manicurist gives you her full attention. & there's no other person around to rush her so it's really relaxing. What's more, Shanice is really nice and sociable, I actually spent about 2 hours at her place without feeling like I spent such a long time there.

SO! For the promotion, we'll be giving away $10 vouchers for Gelish services (U.P $35, which is already super cheap!!! And with this voucher it's only $25! That's how much you pay for a classic manicure, or maybe more at other nail parlors) for the first 30 customers for the upcoming collection! Some terms & conditions apply though, like the standards of having to book an appointment etc. She's located at Yishun, super near YJC. The address will be stated on the voucher, so no worries about that! & really really be assured of the quality because I'm really loving this nails that she designed for me! :)

If you haven't seen the preview photos that I've uploaded onto the Facebook page, here's a little preview for them! I'm really loving the photos that we took in USS!! Zoe & I were brainstorming on places to go for outdoor shoots, because we haven't had one despite shooting together for so so long (almost 1 year odd I think!!). & since USS is sheltered at some places (which is super important since the weather's been really crazy for the past few weeks), and I could get free tickets, we decided to head there with Jing & Shine!

Cover pic that I did up for myself! & if you look closely enough, you'd have seen me in the background, HAHAHA! It was dem hilarious that I couldn't stop laughing at it whenever I see it!

In the cover is the Contrast Trimmings Chiffon Blouse, that comes in Emerald Green, Red, Cream and Purple! Emerald Green is darker IRL, will post a closer pic of the color during the launch! New color on our color palette :)

Blouse does not come with any inner tube or spag tops, but will be priced really affordably! Besides, I think most people will have basic tube tops and spags already right? :)

My darling baby in Emerald Green! :)

Shine in Nude! And yes we'll be launching the skirt in the next collection next week.

Jing in Red!

Another casual top we have here is the Shoulder Gathers Button Up Top that comes in Happy Mustard, Emerald Green (told you it's a new color haha! I just love it so much!), Navy blue and Sweet Pink! Uber love all the colors!

Zoe in Happy Mustard!

Spotted the Kungfu Panda and ordered them to queue to take photo with it haha! It's so cute lor!! & I'm so sad I didn't get to take photos with any of the mascots.

Shine in Navy! Love the piao piao hair here teehee!

Zoe in her fav pink!

Last but not least, my favourite among the lot is this Side Ruffles Racerback Top, comes in beige, forest, navy and grey. The material is super comfy (same one as the scallops dress, skater dress and raglan tops), and there's even a tie-front ribbon at the front! So dainty and sweet looking, and have you spotted another new color here?

So cute, loving this picture. Models are wearing forest green and navy respectively.

Paired the grey with our MNG Jeggings in Blue which we still have a few left!

You might be wondering where was I the whole time, haha! I was the nanny that day, passing them accessories, adjusting their clothes for them, throwing shoes to them, picking out the outfits for them to change into, refilling water and making sure they are all hydrated.

Here's a picture of nanny Est.

We rented the double stroller from USS and it was one of the best decisions made! We just had to dump everything onto it and push it to where ever we wanted to go. FYI, that bagpack I'm carrying is loaded with JUST accessories, HAHA!

& because they kept laughing at me pushing the stroller like some aunty, this Zoe wanted WH to shoot me with the trolley. & I dragged her into the photo when she's chewing on food, which explains why she's covering her mouth hahaha silly girl!

A proper one!

& the two decided to join in and bully me as well. The stroller doesn't look THAT BAD what!!

Back view taken by Shine, I see that you have the potential to become our photog too hor? HAHA.

Okay this is one super long post!! Hope you girls love what we have in store for you, and remember, fastest fingers first!!

Preview C57.

Ahhh it's been SO LONG since I've blogged! Guilty as charged..

I've just returned to SGP and there's tons of things for me to do!

Been back since Monday and my days are nothing but packed. Met up with most of my friends alrdy, IKR, so efficient of me. But days were mainly spent in Zouk. My photos are made up of either just FOOD or in CLUBS. sigh, need to kick this bad habit of ours!

Had brunch at Arbite with Zx on Friday, and I love the one I had! Along with some skinny latte, yummers! Love the eggs, the mushroom and the bread (surprisingly, cos I usually skip the breads)! It's at serangoon gardens, on top, next to sushi tei!

Drove over to pick my dear Eileen up, who's in SG for some holiday! Wheeee, brought her around bugis to walk around, and we snacked so much! Hope you had a fun time here babe!

Then it was zouk at night! Some last min decision because we were saying we're not gonna club 'cos the music was really bad on Wed and it was getting boring. But.. somehow we ended up at Zouk at 9odd to get our chops and then to the bridge for some drinking.

I was so busy that night! 'cos I had different groups of friends there. & my phone had to be low on batt. But guess what! Zouk has this station just outside the entrance, used to be the hotdog stand, that allows us to charge our phones. AWESOME man! So I was there like half the time trying to charge my stupid phone, haha!

Okay this was Wed, when I went Zouk with my two girls, and met some others there. Though the music was really bad, and the crowd made up of really really desperate boys (whom I think are at least 2 years younger than me), I've got really awesome company.

:D

We'll be launching a new collection tomorrow too! Just gotten the shipment and met Zoe dear this morning to shoot a few pieces. We'll be having an outdoor shoot soon, so excited! :D

This collection is mainly made up of restocks of older popular designs in some old colors, + one or two new colors for each design! AND two new designs that's good for work/bridesmaids/dates/year end party! Wheeeee! Don't we all love versatile pieces?

Here's a preview!

And the two new designs in this coming collection!

Okay I have to end abruptly here. Gonna meet my ex-lecturer for lunch, teehee, excites!

Finally done with the first paper of my second semester! Questions not exactly what we expected them to turn out to be, but ohwells, it's over and we could only continue mugging for our remaining papers! One more marketing paper and finance paper to prepare for and I'm done!

My elder sis's gonna come visit me next Wed after my second (as well as second last) paper, and I'm so so so so excited for next weekends 'cos I've prepared activities lined up for her! :D heehee, can't wait to share pictures with you guys already!

So for the past week, I've been cooped up at home memorizing notes and whatnot. Did head out to the city for half to an hour to roam around, grab some necessities etc, and to take a breather. Hate how the weather is so fab now, but we're all cooped up at home. Sigh!

Pictures of the past few weeks that was in my phone and only gotten round to uploaded them since I just synced it to my laptop!

I've been hooked onto Kimchi Jiggae ever since my dearest Bi Ran introduced them to me the last time she headed down to Melbourne. So I googled for the recipe and made it myself!! SO SO PROUD of myself! You know how one bowl is like AUD15 out there? & it's so so easy to make! Plus the ingredients are SO NOT EXPENSIVE! I could eat this everyday and it takes like.. 15-25 mins for preparations + cooking it? WHEEEE my favourite favourite dish so far, but really cannot eat it during summers, so I'll drown in my perspiration.

Belgium waffles that my cuzzie ta-baoed for me when she was in the area. Missing it already, it's so crunchy and chewy at the same time! Yum tums!

Salad for lunch. HAHA, home-made. I know you can't see the greens, but it's really salad! I boiled the prawns, chicken tenderloins (they're like chicken breasts but less dry and has no fats, unlike the thigh meat or drumstick area), mushrooms and microwaved the bacon bits. And tadah~ so easy peasy! And it's really really filling! :D

Another round of kimchi jiggae, home made muahahahha! I'm so so so so addicted to this!

Believe it or not, this is MY dinner. And yes I almost finished all of them, save for the cupcakes. What's left of dinner was prolly 2 small slices of pizza and 3 cupcakes. Don;t know why I ordered so much, and yes that's a bubbletea at the corner of the picture. And I slurped it all up. Must be because it's the time of the month, haha!

Leftover red velvet cupcake for breakkie! MAX LOVE IT, best RVV cupcake I've ever had!

There was a new Killiney Kopitiam that just opened near my house and we went to give it a try. Verdict: not fantastic, and I could do better (I think?) since all they use were the pre-mixed sauces and gravies. Kaya was not too bad tho, but YAKUN is still the bez!

Second round of my dinner the next day. That thing on the right was my own chapalang soup, with chicken, cabbage, dried scallops, prawns, mushrooms, an egg and rice vermicelli. No salt, no pepper, nothing! Healthy eh, but the pizza next to it erm... just took up all my calories intake HAHA!

And 2 OTD when I remembered to take a picture of:

Did you spot my new earphones from Dr Drey? :D :D

And I wore this to club, yes, with my Tiger. HAHA! Told ya I'm a good girl who don't wear heels now.

Okay, back to books, hope my small post managed to entertain you for a bit! :)

Happy Birthday Dan! :)

Hihi! I've been caught up with studying lately 'cos it's now the study week (which we termed SWOT VAC) and next week's the start of the exam period! Can't wait for my first paper because that'll mean I'm so much closer to home! And Sis just texted me yesterday that she's planning to make a trip down to Aussie to visit me! YAY!!! I'm so going to drag her to go skydive with me, YIPEEEDOOOO!

OH! We're launching a new collection today! No time to blog about it yesterday, so here goes. Just a small short preview!

Here's the preview banner! Actually not really a preview 'cos it shows everything that we're gonna launch haha!

My favourite from this collection!!! :D

Random: Don't they look so good together? Am planning for something exciting HEEHE can't wait for December!! :D

I kept the one in Forest Green, and White! Here's a pic of me in the forest green:

Super duper love the back! Cos it gives this flowy feel~ You know what I mean? Yeap and luving the shell buttons at the front! Oh and because the back is made such that there's a tic tac button, where you can clasp them together to get the pattern at the back, you can clasp it anyway you want! Just experiment with it yourself! Like you could twist the cloth a bit before clasping them, or just clasp them like how we did! This top easily goes into the Top 10 favourites from what we manufactured! :D

We have one more ruffle top design, it's so cooling that you really have to get it if you hate the humid weather in SG! Our models didn't wear any spag tops inside for layering because the ruffles at front could sort of "cover" your bra, just that you've gotta wear nude colored ones if you're getting the lighter colored one. Black bras will be fine for the leopard printed top (favourite!!).

SIX&TWELVE aside, it's my best brother's birthday yesterday! Am quite upset that I couldn't celebrate it with him. I've missed so many birthdays celebrations while I'm here studying.. But to make up for it, I ordered cupcakes for him and got the maker to send them to his house to surprise him!!

Here's a picture of the cupcakes!!

Got them personalized to what I think Dan will like! :D

Because we've been project groupmates (& best friends) since year 1 in poly, we did tons of shitty projects together! Thus the books, and the FYP report (which we gotten an A for heehee) topper on the cupcakes!

That "boy" was modeled after one of the picture we took during our poly days. & the beef lagsana? Because we always OVER ORDER when eating in one of our canteens in school, and this dish is a MUST ORDER when it's available. HAHA!

Smurfs because we just watched the smurf movie together, and we cannot stop singing the la la la song even when we're in zouk! Teehee fun times, and of course, a picture of Dan, Andy and me! :D

Yup these cupcakes are from the same girl who made the ones for Zoe! She's so brilliant ain't she? Oh & Dan said that the cupcakes were super duper yummy, I ordered them in lychee and in lychee buttercream. :D

Alrighty, time to get back to my books. Have a lovely week ahead!
