Quick Update ~ Recent Purchases

Hi :) I haven't been doing a lot of shopping... so there's nothing really to update about lol :x But here's just a few things I've bought over the last little while..

First are these booties! I finally, finally have a pair! After hunting for so damn long for a pair of short, flat booties with some sort of grip on the bottom, I just settled on these. They don't really have a great suitable-for-snow grip on the bottom, but they're good enough for me to wear on rainy/cold days ^^ I'm just so glad I finally have a pair of booties that I can just slide on :D Instead of having to lace up my black bootie wedges and/or zip up my tall boots, I can just wear these! So so so happy :) Plus they're flat so I won't be super crazy tall when I hang out with my friends LOL! I don't want to look like a super giant beside them all the time... :p
I got them at The Bay on super sale! I love the sales that go on after new years/the holidays are over... There's always some awesome deals cuz the shops are trying to clear out their inventory :D Anyway they were already on sale for ~$110, (they were originally $150 or $135 or something like that..) and then there was another 40% off of that price so they came to around ~$75 (after tax) :D

 The pictures of the booties look a tad bit wonky cuz I took the pictures downstairs, where the lighting is super yellow, compared to super white like in my room, and I tried to fix the lighting a bit in ps, but they still don't look that great lol. Also if the boots look dirty.. I'm sorry I already wore them 3x xD I cleaned them off a bit before taking the pictures though.. so it's not that bad :p

Anyway I also bought a few polishes over the last little while.

Revlon Elegant, Heavenly, Whimsical & L.A. Colors Art Deco striper polish in a glittery silver colour
 The two on the left were from Walmart. I forgot how much exactly I paid for them but they were around $4. I never buy Revlon unless they're under $4 lol :x Whimsical I got from Superstore cuz they lowered the prices or... they were having a sale, I'm not too sure lol. But it was under $4 too. The Art Deco striper is also from Superstore. It was under $2... I think it was $1.97 xD
I think Heavenly was part of a new collection Revlon just released... probably limited edition? It's just so pretty I couldn't pass on it :) It has little round glitters and little square glitters so I'm sure it'll be super pretty on top of a lot of colours.

That's all for now >.< Yeah, super tiny post I know... but I can't help it that I haven't been shopping much xD It's very good for me and my wallet :) Until next time I have stuff to post~ peace!

Nails ~ Manicurex2

Happy New Year!
Yes I know I'm super late.. but during the break I was seriously just too lazy... Now the Spring semester has started and I have to get off my ass and try to get a job!
Anyway, here's my most recent manicures :)

Top: L, Bottom: R
 These were from several weeks ago... I did them for new years since they're suuuuper sparkly and fun c: Sorry the pictures are kinda gross.. I finally decided to take the pictures when the nail polish was all grown out and gross :x At least I got a picture...
Oh yeah! I have an instagram picture that I took right after I finished the manicure...


It's super gritty and iphone-camera-quality (albeit iPhone5....) but oh well :)

Essie Beyond Cozy, OPI Rainbow Connection, OPI Servin' Up Sparkle + 2 random Korean ones

Here's what's on my nails now :)
I just wanted something that looked clean.. so I went with this nude colour. Originally, I wasn't diggin' the nude on my skintone so much.. but it looks much better after I did the half-moon mani w/ the metallic. I think this nude is too light, it makes my skin look darker.. and a bit.. dirty? I'm not sure, but I'm okay with it now.


Wet n Wild 2% Milk & Essie Beyond Cozy
Alright that concludes this post... Until next time...
