Recent Purchases ~ Clothes + Polishes

It's been a while since I've blogged! I've just been too lazy... or busy(ish) I guess. Here's another post :P! It's a bunch of stuff that I've bought over the past 3ish weeks. All the stores are having their sales and stuff.. and of course, I can't resist.

Minted - Blue Lagoon - Pale Cashmere (Revlon Colorstay line) - Gold Coast - Sparkling - Scandalous

Minted - Blue Lagoon - Pale Cashmere (Revlon Colorstay line)

Gold Coast - Sparkling - Scandalous

Another group shot... isn't this one cool? xD I clearly haven't been taking pictures for a long time, being fascinated by a shot like this u__u

 All these Revlon polishes were from Walmart except for Gold Coast which I got on sale at London Drugs for like $4.99 I think.. At Walmart they were $3.97 each.. so cheap $__$ Not sure about the Colorstay one.. I think it was on sale too.. Maybe 5 bucks ish?

 I got this other Revlon one on Thursday, at Walmart again while I was with Nini c: We both bought one polish each haha she got a dark blue one that I've had my eye on for a while but never felt like buying cuz it's dark... and it's Summer now so I don't need it :P Well I guess I don't really need any of these... But never mind that *cough*... Essie's Camera was from Superstore on Wednesday. I got it for $7.97 I believe since it was on sale. I've had my eye on this colour for a while, but I never wanted to buy it cuz full price Essie is just so expensive (even on sale... 8 bucks.. sigh)... There were only a few left, and since I wanted this colour pretty badly I just decided to get it (x

Anyway~ On to the clothes ^^

Vero Moda Peter Pan collar white chiffon dress - The Bay, $29.99 (sale)

I got this dress from The Bay a good... 3 weeks ago while shopping with Cindy. It was on sale for only $29.99 so 30 bucks +__+ I just had to get it! It's so cute c: Hopefully I have somewhere to wear it to soon haha.
There was a sheer dark green blouse from BCBG Generation that I wanted too.. It looked good when I tried it on :c But it was on sale, and still $55.. I didn't wanna spend that much money :/ It was on sale too -sigh- Oh well. I haven't been back to the Oakridge Bay since... -.- Oh well. I'm not sure if I would get it even if I saw it again anyway.

H&M sheer white blouse with black details - H&M, $15 (sale)

I still haven't had a chance to wear this one... I'm not really sure how I would wear it anyway, but I just liked it so much -.- Plus it was only $15 so whatever~ I will wear it though! I promise! If not it'll just be such a waste of money...

H&M black t-shirt with lace detailing - H&M, $10 (sale)

Haven't had a chance to wear this one either... Hopefully I'll wear it soon! I love the lace detailing.. It makes a kinda masculine looking shirt so feminine. (btw the photo on the right is harsh ps'd cuz I wanted to show off the lace... :p sorry if it looks weird)

H&M boyfriend fit jean shorts - H&M, $10 (sale)

I loooove these! I can't remember the last time I bought shorts so I was super excited when I found these cuz I won't wear shorts unless they're a little longer like this c: They're super comfy~ It's so funny cuz when I first found these, I just wanted to try them for fun, and the price tag said $29.99 and I was like.. nah.. ;~; even though I was heart broken... Then I came out of the fitting room to walk around the store more and I found the exact pair of shorts, but the price tag said $10 instead and I was like F YEAH~~ SO GETTING THEM! Such a great find c: Can't wait to wear these when it's absolutely unbearable to wear pants outside xD

Dex long white cardigan with striped detailing - The Bay, $12.99 (sale)

I'm so glad I got this :D It'll be a good piece to just put on when it gets really hot and I want to go out for the night time or something ^^ Even though it's a tad bit long for my liking... I still love it! I saw it the first time at The Bay and it was $19.99 but I didn't wanna get it since it had a little stain on it :c I just left it and really regretted it lol. That was at the Lougheed Bay and I checked the Metro Bay to see if they had the cardi since I needed to pass by there on my way home anyway... I remember seeing it at the Metro one over a month and a half ago when I was there with my little bro, but I didn't try it on cuz he was super tired and I didn't want to bore him :P Plus at that time I just finished shopping for him.. so I was pretty broke luls. Anyway they didn't have it anymore at the Metro Bay.. So after a few days, I returned to the Lougheed one and tried it on again xD But this time it was reduced to $12.99. There were only XS, S and a L left... I tried on the S and it fit alright but I wanted something more comfy and baggy to wear over a t-shirt and shorts so I just decided to get the L. Even though it's a little longer than I'd prefer, I still like it cuz it's nice.. plus it was only $13! ^^

Vero Moda top - The Bay, $19.99 (sale)

I got this top at the same time as the cardi above.. I tried this one on a week before too and I realllly liked it, but it just wasn't worth $29.99, especially on sale.. I can't believe the regular price was $39.99... 40 bucks just for that omg x___x Anyway when I went back, the price tag still said the same thing.. $29.99.. I was so frustrated but I really liked it/wanted it.. So I asked the cashier lady if there were any further discounts on this. She said probably not since that's what the price tag said, but when she rung it up at the register, it only said $19.99 so I took it :D! I wore this today and it's suuuuper comfortable and light weight. Good for hot days!

H&M boyfriend fit jean shorts - H&M, $10 (sale)

These were an awesome find too c: I purchased these on Thursday with Nini. We were just browsing and I came across these.. Thought it'd be nice to have more than one pair of shorts :p So I tried them on and they fit so I got em! Such a steal for 10 bucks only c:

Phewwwwww! Long post x__x Hopefully it won't be too long until I do another blog post... But who knows, I know I'm going to be pretty busy for the next few weeks.. then final assignments and exams u___u Can't wait... Anyway, until next time~

Nails ~ Pale Pink & Roses

I just did these last night!!

Revlon Colorstay in Pale Cashmere - I LOVE THIS COLOUR!!

I was watching some cutepolish videos yesterday, and this was one of her tutorials. I saw it here and there a few times and decided to give it a try myself. I am quite pleased with them.. but they took me a while to do :p

Here are some more pictures - only my left hand though cuz that's the nicer one :p Plus it's easier to take pictures of it...

These took a total of 4 coats of Pale Cashmere x__x Light colours like this are almost always difficult... This one was definitely no exception. I got this polish a few days ago at Walmart because they were on sale.. or was it just rolledback or whatever? I'm not too sure, but it was under $5 where as normally, drug stores sell them for like 8 or 9 x_x. I heard the Revlon Colorstay formula is really good, so I've been wanting to try it for a while.. So yay!
Oh yeah~ And here are all the other tools and polishes I used.

Sinful Color - Envy, Essie - e-nuf is enuf, OPI - Italian Love Affair, Revlon Colorstay - Pale Cashmere

. 

 I also used Essie fill the gap! base coat, Seche Vite top coat and dotting tools to create the roses.
After I took these pictures, I applied another few coats of Revlon top coat just to prolong my mani's life :p Til next time!

Nails ~ Orangey Red

Same location but different lighting.

 Polka dots! Wet n Wild Megalast Club Havana and the light orange is nameless. This is either 4 or 5 layers, I lay on polish like there's no tomorrow.. (These pictures were taken about a week after I did them).

These lasted about 2 weeks before they chipped.. Of course, that's cuz I piled on like 4 or 5 layers of top coat (first 2 are always Seche Vite, but it's too expensive to use so much of that, so for the layers on top, I use Revlon's top coat from their regular line). I usually do my nails once every week or so, but I was busy last week so I just left them on for another week.

Wet n Wild's Club Havana & this random one I got from the night market a year ago.

I used Essie's ridge filling base coat cuz that's all I have atm before putting on Club Havana. I really like this colour! I always feel weird now leaving my nails only one colour, so I decided to dab some polka dots on with the light orange. The ring finger is accented with more polka dots. Anyway, a few people said it looks orange, but some said it's red... In the bottle it looks pretty orange, but I would say it looks more red on your nails than in the bottle. It's a really bright, awesome summer colour... (too bad the weather still sucks here). The formula's pretty good, especially since it's such a cheap polish.. I got it at Walmart for like... under $3 I think. All in all, it's a good polish.
