My experience with...

... Transition lenses. OK. Like buying a cuckoo clock, after a while, the excitement dies down. I was so excited when I picked up the new specs on Wednesday night. It felt a bit strange, though. The plastic refracts a little differently than glass, I suppose. I'm glad my optician advised me to get thick plastic frames, because the lens really are rather thick. But I think they gave me the high index ones, so it's not too bad. Thanks, Transitions. You guys ROCK!
Yesterday morning noticed that the lens DID grow darker as I was walking up from the parking lot. Most of my time is spent in front of the computer, so no photoactivity there. Had a photo shoot in the dead middle of the day, and this time the lens did grow quite dark as the sun came out (it was cloudy earlier on). Then I realised that most of my time is spent indoors, mengadap the royal highness (my computer). But it's lovely to have specs that will automatically protect your eyes as you drive long distances on the highway in blazing hot weather. Or simply try to get to your event in KL in the middle of the day. :-D I like...









Then there is the deep red Chanel nail polish that had always taunted me from the bag where it resides behind my desk. So one fine day (night, actually), I decided to give it a go. Little did I realise how tricky it was to smoothly layer the paint onto that little square of nail. It doesn't look nice unless you smooth it on evenly, and some nails are just tougher than others. Mine is the ring finger (jari manis). It kept a) being uneven, b) getting smudged off, c) accidentally wiped off while I do the other hand. Aiyooo! It took a while to do my toes too.
The end result: I like the ones that are smooth and shiny, but overall, I'm so not used to having blood red fingertips! The toes look pretty cute though. I might do it again sometime with a less dramatic colour, but it has to be during a girlie session so that we can do each other's nails instead of playing contortionist just to reach the toes. :p
