Military Caps/ Vintage Army Caps!

So recently I've purchased two of these military caps on Gmarket, thinking that I could gift one of them to my cap-loving brother as his birthday present (and give myself a reason to get my own cap, :D). I certainly did not regret my purchase.

This seller [FORPURE] had a really pretty good rating, and upon receiving my order, I think that the caps are worth every penny spent. With a relatively fast delivery time, the caps came in great condition and I couldn't believe that I can get it at this relatively low price of SGD$9. You hardly find these kind of prices in Singapore!

The above pic is my cap, model no. AH077. I love the denim-blue (sadly, not clearly visible due the the sunlight) and the metallic buttons along the side of the visor/bill of the cap. It's not too flashy while adding on a nice touch to the other-wise plain cap. Love the words along the side of the cap too! Some k-pop fans would know that these caps are getting pretty popular with K-entertainment recently (Lee Minho, Tiffany and Micky Yoochun were spotted with these kind of caps recently) and I've been meaning to get one because it makes a pretty good accessory while serving its purpose in the hot, sunny weather of Singapore. :)

[Review] Canmake Colorful Nails: no. 53 Peppermint Cream

I just went to Watsons the other day, and I found that Canmake Colorful Nails series are having a sale at 2 for S$12.90 (Otherwise, it'd be S$17.80 for 2), and recently being infatuated with nail polish, decided to snoop them into my basket. The two colours I picked are no. 53 Peppermint Cream (this review!) and no. 52 in Sandy Brown. The Canmake official descriptions are given below:

These are my very first Canmake nail polish, and I was pretty excited to grab them. Canmake has a pretty good reputation amongst the Japanese drugstore brands, and I certainly wasn't disappointed. Took me about 2-3 layers to get the following effect:

No. 53 Peppermint Cream is a pretty pastel emerald colour. While the official site used a rather pastel sky blue icon, the colour's as you can see in my picture above, has a greenish undertone. Under sunlight, and to some people, the colour actually does seems to be closer to a shade of pastel blue than a paster green, but with comparison, it is pretty clear that the green undertone stands out.

Pros:

[o] Jelly like texture provides not just extra shine, but also ease of layering.

[o] The brush cap might be a little small, but the brush is just nice for me. Not too hard, not too soft, and picks up a good amount of polish.

[o] Small, easy to keep with it's square design.

[o] Once completely dry, not prone to chipping.

Cons:

[x] Rather expensive for a small bottle if it's bought at usual price (S$8.90). I can easily top up to get a much bigger O.P.I or China Glaze.

[x] Take note: the more layers you have, the longer it takes for it to be completely dried and fixed; if you're not careful, the layers could slide if you press too hard on it, and you'd have to start over again.

[x] I heard that the bottle dries up pretty quickly? I'm not sure since it's my first purchase, but you might want to keep that in mind.

Overall:

As a relative beginner, I think this nail polish is pretty good, for the brush makes it easy not to go out of the boundaries (or rather, not too much anyway). And I love this pastel colour! If you're fond of easy to layer kind of nail polish, or just want to try a certain colour, you can consider this nail polish for it's small size and easy to glide on liquid formula. :)
