Welcome to Rainbow Chiffon! This blog will contain blog entries about stuff I feel like sharing with the Gyaru community or my other friends who are interested in fashion! Feel free to comment or email me! I love meeting new people!
Also, this is where I talk about Yelping/reviewing restaurants with Billy, my baked goods, and stuff that I've cooked. ♥
While I was browsing Louise's blog, she mentioned on a post of nail polishes she got from her boyfriend that she had something called a nail wheel - which is literally a wheel of fake nails for you to try swatches of nail polish on. I thought it was pretty nifty and actually really useful because I do plan on reviewing more nail polishes in the future...
So I went on eBay to hunt for one that'll not only be cheap but will get here quickly.
Eventually, I found one right here by eBay seller city-green that's not only in the States and was cheap - but it had free shipping! So I ordered on June 03, 2013 and it arrived June 07, 2013 (from New Jersey to Arizona) in the package up above. Not bad~! If I need to get another one for some reason, I know exactly where to go!
Anyway... When I opened the package, this is what was inside:
"Remind You of Happy Time"
It was only the bag which contained the nail wheel and a small coupon book for the next time I decide to buy from that company! Anyway...
I don't know if you can see it real well but, yes, it is transparent. Haha, I was hoping I can get the straight up white ones but I actually like these a little better. I'm not quite sure why but I just do! Although, it might be a bit more difficult to tell where one would miss a spot when doing swatches for reviews so it looks like I have to be very careful!
Before I put nail polishes on it!
I know it's kinda blurry but that's because it's reflecting the flash off of it...But at least you can see it a little bit better!
After!
I'm really glad I got this because know it'd be easier for me to do reviews without having to paint my own nails and make a mess or just get a paper towel, put the nail wheel on it, and then paint them. Well, it might be a little bit more work but it will make life easier (especially since I tend to do reviews spontaneously anyway) for me.
The nail polishes featured on the wheel (starting bottom and going counter-clockwise):
Sinful Colors (Beautiful Girl), Hard Candy (Silver), Hello Kitty (Mixed Berries), Sinful Colors (Unicorn), Forever 21 (Sparkly Pink), Revlon (Midnight Affair), Hard Candy (Pink), Hard Candy (Black), War Paint Beauty (Pretty In Pink), & Hard Candy (Red).

The nickname is Lily. Born in August 27, 198(X) (which makes her a Virgo & a Fire Rabbit). Currently in Arizona, United States.
Other interests include watching anime, reading manga, writing, video games, baking, listening to Japanese & Korean music, tweeting, sleeping, learning about technology, writing, and others she can't remember.
Kinda shy, kinda quiet. Gets grumpy when hungry or sick. Can be critical towards others but generally very nice and has patience. Otherwise, she likes to have fun, eat, joke around, talk crap about music idols, and sleep. She's nice 99.9% of the time unless she's having one of those days.
This blog started out as a school project in April 2012 but soon became an addiction!
As with most Gyaru blogs, I'm going to do reviews!
Disclaimer
The reviews I leave are strictly my opinion as well as to be considered constructive criticism. My intention is not to come off as harsh, mean, rude or as an attacker but to give the item or store a (hopefully) fair judgement based on my experiences and knowledge.
If you have any questions, comments, or if you want me to review your products, feel free to contact me!
The purpose of “Quick Look-Through” is to, well, quickly look through an online shop that sells to Gyarus all over the world without actually having to buy anything. I would, of course, want to review those when I do manage to get it but until then…
I’m going to be blunt: I don’t have any money to spend on these Gyaru online shops. As much as I want to, there’s just no way I can do it now or maybe even in the future. Or in the odd time that I do have money, I’m rather picky about what I expect and want from these shops. Great navigation, good colors, awesome products with affordable prices and the likelihood of reaching an international market (let’s be real here – we Gyarus come from all over the world).
I will only look through online stores that at least have an English option.

It is understandable if you have any questions, comments, or inquiries. Please feel free to leave a comment or contact me and I will get back to you.
These are past websites that I have done a Quick Look-Through of. They're in alphabetical order.
There are just especially important memories that I've shared with everyone on Rainbow Chiffon! They're going to be organized by the year (top being the most recent).
Past restaurants that Billy and I have been to before. This is just a collection of reviews. They're going to be organized by the year (top being the most recent).
