Korean Nail Polish: ETUDE

I am on a nail polish craze lately; bought two from Japan, bought 3 more when I came back and 1 more from HK duty free airport. How am I going to keep them from drying when I can't use them during the school year? Well, I figure that later. For now, please enjoy these matte and marshmallow shades from Etude.


Hell yeah! Finally found the right skin tone nail polish for me!! Its perfect
for my yellowish skin with a touch of tan and it is not thick at all unlike
the face shop (of which is the same price) 




Since its the shade of frost baby colors, it didn't change much
when I dabbled some on my left hand
Etude= rose shaped headers

Alternating them on my fingers really bring out each other.
pink + blue= (not necessarily the background) purple!
Flower Treatment nail polish remover does the job
right AND smells like apple candy! Wash
your hands after use though
P.s. Watch out for my indulgence of the trip: my Chanel nail polish. Also, beware of chipping of Etude matte colors in 5 days or less. It took mine 5 days with minimum nail action (meaning painting, grabbing cameras, typing and knocking around the kitchen for food).

Japanese Nail Polish: Pa

I recently tried out my haul from Japan and it was awesome! If not almost impossible to dry, either ways, I think the presentation of the bottle has a nice personality to it and the size of the bottle is just right, because I'm only allowed to wear them on non school days anyway 

This tarty  bright yellow green shade is really versatile, it could go with almost
any color of footwear :)

It reminds me of skittles when paired with my purple flip flops, and it does
not only make my toes look like candy, it shows off my flip flops too!



The gold really sets off the green surprisingly well, and it gives a
muter but still eye-catching feel to the footwear.

On a completely unrelated note, I was able to unveinify
my feet without edit on these photos, hihi :)

Nara, Kyoto and Osaka, Japan (the better photos are on the bottom part haha)

I've been really busy lately but here are some pictures from my latest trip to Japan. Math classes have been giving me a headache and seeing these help me chill out a bit. Maybe they can give you the same effect :)


Isn't spring just gorgeous?

I thought it was some photoshopped thingo when I first saw it as our
computer's wallpaper years ago, but the Golden Pavilion is real!

Where tea used to be held in

Older than over 12 generations of my family. That tree is ancient!

Wishes for the gods anyone?

Kyoto

The famous Todaiji

Deer can be unseeingly greedy, I tell you.


A beautiful peak of one of Japan's temple, Nara. It was quite
rainy that name.

The Japanese Zen Buddha, so simple yet so awesome.

a guardian of one of the temples, fierce to keep spirits away
Night + Sakura =breathtaking view of spring

Not a real geaisha, they only come out at Gion starting around 6 in the evening.
 I guess there was a place offering a geisha makeovers though

traditional wares but crazy price

A couple walking around the outside of
Osaka castle in kimono's, they apparently just finished a photo shoot

I found this lovely lady outside a restaurant in Gion



The cupcake one is my favorite.

Buds, pretty buds 


Sakura against the night light

I thought I'd never see these on actual soil!
Sakura before they turn to buds, I think...

Power pink sakuras anyone?
Flowers :)

Owls for sale, they sorta remind me of Errol from harry Potter
