New Nail Polish Spam - Part 2


 * Photos taken in natural daylight with flash to ensure correct colour since the natural light washes out the colours - No base coat - No top coat*

essence colour & go polish - let's get lost


let's get lost by essence, is a vibrant dodger blue colour with a creme finish. The formula was smooth and easy to apply. This was 3 thin coats. One thing to take into account is that this polish does stain your nails so you may want to consider using a base coat.

From Watsons - S$2.90

essence colour & go polish - little miss sunshine (118)



little miss sunshine by essence, is a mustard yellow colour with a creme finish. The formula was great, thin and easy to work with. This was 2 coats, probably could have used 3 since I am seeing some bald spots as I write this.

essence colour & go polish - L.O.L


L.O.L by essence, is a chartreuse (aka Shrek!) colour with a creme finish. The formula was smooth and easy, no dragging. This was thin 3 coats, you could probably get away with 2. I love this polish, it's unlike anything I have in my collection.

essence colour & go polish - off to miami



off to miami by essence, is a hot coral colour with a creme finish. The formula is amazing on this polish, this was 3 thin coats and it's supa  glossy. Definite must have for summer!

essence colour & go - modern romance


modern romance by essence, is a pale peach base with pink shimmers with a creme finish. The formula was very thick and difficult to apply on this one which resulted in it being quite patchy. Also the pretty pink shimmers you see in the bottle, don't translate onto the nails which is a shame. This was 3 coats.

essence colour & go polish - date in the moonlight




date in the moonlight by essence, is a gray/blue creme base with blue shimmers. The formula was smooth and this was 3 coats. It looks kind of blah in the bottle but is actually nice on the nails (I got it because it matched an eyeshadow that I was buying from essence :D )

Part 3 will be up soon!

New Nail Polish Spam! Part 1

Hey guys, so if you've seen my last few hauls on You tube then you would have seen that I have been buying a lot of nail polish since around April time.

So today I'm bringing you the first instalment, enjoy!

Essie - Shake Your $$ Maker - Neon 2013 Collection


Shake Your $$ Maker by Essie Neon 2013 Collection, is a bright emerald green colour. The formula is very sheer, this was 4 coats and you can still clearly see the nail line (perhaps use a white base). The polish dries to a leather effect, almost like a rubbery texture whilst still remaining glossy.

Essie - Boom Boom Room - Neon 2013 Collection


Boom Boom Room by Essie Neon 2013 Collection, is a neon candy pink colour. The formula was good, slightly streaky. This was 3 coats. Unlike Shake Your $$ Maker, this particular colour from the same collection dries to a glossy finish, not a leather one.

Essie DJ Play That Song - Neon 2013 Collection


DJ Play That Song by Essie Neon 2013 Collection, is a bright warm purple colour. The formula was great, very smooth. This was 3 coats. The polish dries to a leather effect, almost like a rubbery texture whilst still remaining glossy.

essence colour & go - 146 that's what i mint


that's what i mint! (146) by essence, is a pastel mint/baby blue with fine silver/blue shimmers. The formula was great, very smooth and creamy, super glossy. This was 3 coats. Although you can see the shimmers slightly in the picture above, they are actually not noticeable to the naked eye which is a shame, however this polish still makes me droooooooool.

From Watsons - S$2.90

essence colour & go - 140 go bold!


go bold! (140) by essence, is a gold base with super fine gold glitter with a foil finish. The formula was smooth and easy to apply, especially since it is a glitter polish. This was 2 coats. This would be a perfect polish for Christmas, New Year or any type of event, it's seriously a beautiful polish on the nails.

From Watsons - S$2.90

essence colour & go - 106 free hugs


free hugs by essence, is a blue based candy pink with a creme finish. The formula was a little thick, and as it was drying it started to bubble as you can see above. (Just apply your fav top coat and it should counteract the bubbles).This was 3 coats and it makes me feel like Nicki Minaj :P

From Watsons - S$2.90


essence colour & go - 147 miss universe


miss universe (147) by essence, is a dark blue packed with blue and green fine glitter with a shimmer finish. The formula was great, very easy application. This was 3 coats. I <3 this! It reminds me of an old FaceShop polish that I finished up.

That's it for part 1, part 2 will be up sometime soon!

Guilt Free Grub: Yummy and Healthy 3 Ingredient Cookies

3 Ingredients? Guilt free...? Cookies...?  I know what you're thinking, is this make believe?      It's not! And I'm going to show you guys how to make them.

I've seen many different recipes and takes on these cookies but this is the recipe that I have come up with and enjoy for a nice snack when I'm craving something 'naughty' like sweets, cakes but don't want any added sugar.

[ As a side note, I've had another blog for a while where I have posted a few recipes and some photos that I have taken from the zoo and my graduation trip to Bali. I've decided that I am going to move my posts over to this blog because I don't want the hassle of having two blogs and a Youtube channel. So I thought I would let you guys know, and I hope you like them].


Prep Time:     5-10 minutes
Baking Time: 15 minutes

Preheat oven to 350 F (about 176 C)













Cook for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

This recipe is really just a back bone for you guys, you can literally create so many varieties and make them to your own personal tastes. Instead of raisins you can add nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds), dried fruits (cranberries, apricots, prunes), chocolate chips, shredded coconut, spices, vanilla extract and so many more things.

I personally enjoy them just like this however I would add a hint more cinnamon next time.


Hope you guys liked this recipe! If you make these post them on instagram and tag me (thevisionshazy), I'd love to check them out!


Thanks for stopping by, crunch ya later!
