Nails ~ Mint + Silver & Small polish haul + Jewelry

Hello~ just wanted to pop in here and share my most recent nails and some other stuff :)

I went for the mint+silver trend that's really popular these days >< I know this design looks like something so stereotypical lol like something you'd see on instagram/pintrest etc. but whatever :P I just got Mint Candy Apple really recently and I felt like wearing mint... so yeah, whatever.

Here's the polishes I used

Revlon Silver Dollar, Essie Set in Stones, Essie Mint Candy Apple, Art Deco Silver

I'm really loving Mint Candy Apple. The colour is adorable and I think it goes well with my skin tone :P The polish is really, really thick though. I'm not sure if it's just the bottle I bought, or if the formula is just like that.. but yeah it was hellllla thick. It probably only takes 2 coats to be opaque, but I kept putting more layers on, hoping for it to smooth out... it didn't work really well :x Maybe I should try thinner layers next time, although I find it really hard to control the thickness of the layers especially when I'm doing my right hand, using my left. But yeah, the colour is really cute and I'm loving it so far.

Here's some polishes I bought recently

Essie Sunday Funday, Saturday Disco Fever, Bikini So Teeny and As Gold As It Gets, Superstore, $7.97

I picked up 4 cuz that was the limit at Superstore lol.. plus they were having a no tax event, so yeah.. I sorta went a lil bit crazy xD
Sunday Funday is a cute pink-coral with subtle glitter, Saturday Disco Fever is a bright red-orange, Bikini So Teeny is a light blue with really subtle glitter and As Gold As It Gets is a gold glitter from their Luxeffects line from a few Christmases ago.

Lastly is just a few jewelry pieces I've picked up recently

Infinity bracelet, Icing, $9.75 and Material Girl Gold&Silver stud bracelet, The Bay, $5.99 (sale)

 I just love anything infinity... :P they had some necklaces but I knew if I bought those, I'd never wear them anyway.. and plus they were all pretty tacky looking except one gold, really dainty one.. but I'd never wear that, plus I feel like the gold will rub off really quick anyway.. so no point :/

That's all for now ^^

Long time no see!!! Random "recent" purchases

Hello blog world! I haven't posted in soooo long.. Guess I kinda just fell out of the routine, but I'm back xD Unfortunately, I haven't taken pics of the clothing pieces I've purchased since my last post.. but they'll be up soon (I hope :x)

Anyway~ here's a few things I've purchased "recently" :P I use the quotation marks because it's been a few months since I bought some of these things... but anyway, here we go~

Material Girls sunglasses, $13.50 (sale), The Bay

 One day a while ago, I was just trying on some sunnies for fun and I came across these. I was feeling really cheap that day so I decided to go back for them. I received an email shortly before going that said The Bay was having a "25% off for 2 items" accessories sale. It was 30% off for 3 or more items, but I couldn't get myself to buy more than 2 pairs cuz I didn't really like anything else.. plus I was using gift cards, and the most convenient amount they came in was in 25s... so yeah. Anyway, these were originally $18 each but I got them for $13.50 each :3

Silver & Gold Infinity rings, $7.25, Icing by Claire's

 I was SOOOO excited when I found these! I've been looking for something like this for sooo long. I could've purchased them online/from FB shops.. but you can't even try them on. Plus I never really felt compelled to go through all the trouble of ordering and facetrading and blah blah. Anyway~ I walked into Icing one day when I was walking round Metro and I spotted these! At first I only saw size 8's.. Then I found one size 7... Size 8 fits fine, but in order to wear it on my fatter fingers, size 9 or 10 is better.. so I kept looking.. I ended up looking around the whole store (and they had infinity necklaces too! but they were too ~bling~ for my taste, so pass) and then I went BACK to the ring rack.. looked some more and I FOUND THEM~ Size 9~~ I felt like it was fate so there was NO way that I wasn't gonna get them XD Plus they were only $7.25 for both.. what a steal >_< The quality of Icing pieces are a lot better than F21, so I thought it was such a good deal. That's my little story that follows these rings xD I love the infinity pattern... well, cuz I love Infinite :P It's my lil way of showing them some love without being too crazy lol~

Sephora by OPI polishes in I Gotta Blush on You and Ocean Love Potion, $7.99 each, Winners

 These are my first ever Sephora by OPI polishes ^__^ I couldn't resist the colours! They're so cute haha, plus I picked them up for only $7.99... gotta love Winners.

Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Polishes in Something Blue and Diamonds, $3.97 each & Pure Ice in Jail Bait, $1.97, Walmart

 Picked up these polishes cuz I haven't tried either brand/line of polishes before. Plus the Diamond Strength ones are usually a lot more expensive...

Jewelry storage box, $7.99, Winners

I picked this up just the other day :) It's so pretty! Btw this is like my whole ring collection.. lol I barely wear em anymore but I have quite a selection, don't you think? -_- Woo spending money on ~useless~ stuff... that's me alright lol. Oh yeah, I totally forgot to take a picture of this before I put all my rings in... and I'm not about to take them all out, take the pic and then rearrange them..... so yeah. This is the best I got, lol.

PHEW~ This is the end.. of this post <__<" I think I'll do one more nail post before I go to bed. Not gonna edit cuz it's almost 3 and I got school early tmr... (sigh... why did I take that nap on the couch... WHY....) Bye!

Recent Purchases ~ Accessories/Polishes/Clothes + Flower Photography

Woo I've been so lazy ever since the semester ended... Never wanted to do anything u__u *cough... Alright here's some of the stuff I bought recently :D

4 Leaf Clover Bracelets - $4.80, Forever 21

 I love theseeee they're so damn cute :D They look really cute when I wear them together too.
Originally I only bought the vintage gold one cuz I couldn't decide... and I didn't want to get both.. But I went again a while after and got the silver one too.. It's only 4.80 so whatever haha c:

Pink&Gold Studded Bangle/bracelet - $7.80, Forever 21

 Ugh I looove this! Love the cute little studs that aren't too bam-in-your-face.... And I LOVE THE PINK!! :D There was a light blue one too but I decided not to get that one.. I liked the pink one more :p Can't wait to wear this >.<

Material Girl Boho Necklace - $3.99, The Bay

 I saw this and I couldn't resist buying it.. The original price was $20!! That's freaking crazy! But then when I got home I noticed the feather was kinda broken... but oh well, it was on sale for 3.99! Can't complain!

Sinful Colors' I Miss You & Nail Junkie - $3.99 each, London Drugs

 These have been on sale for a while at London Drugs... Not sure if they still are. I thought these two polishes would be really pretty for a gradient nail... But I've been too lazy to do my nails for a while now.. haha... Well I wanted to let them rest.. but then they started breaking.. so my nails aren't really long enough to be painted right now.. u__u.. Whatever.. saves me time lol

Black Lacey Top - $7, H&M

 I'm so glad I decided not to get this when I wanted it a few weeks ago... cuz it's on sale now! Only 7 bucks! SUUUPER HAPPY :D I love the lace details on this shirt :3 And the cute little pocket ^^

Here's a close up... c:

Black Skirt w/ Leather Detailing - $10, H&M

I saw this skirt a few times at H&M...  but I don't really need something like this since I have a black skirt that's pretty similar from Zara.. but I tried it on cuz it was only $10 compared to the original $34.95 price... And it looked good so I figured might as well... I love the leather details on the waist band... and it has pockets :DDD I love me some pockets! And it has two tiers.. kinda so I love that too c:


Here are just some random photographs I took in my front yard cuz I was bored... My brother was watering the plants and I was keeping him company xD

 This is heavily, heavily edited... lol. It took quite a lot to make just those flowers stand out... -_- Oh well, I quite like how it turned out though c:

 Just another flower~

 These are super pretty for photographing.. too bad I didn't take pictures of them earlier in the summer when they were in full bloom :/

Here's just a set of yellow flowers.. I have no idea what any of these are called lol.

Alrighty~ Phew I'm done :D See you next time!
