Spring Nail Polish Picks!

Hey y'all, Juliana here!

Sorry for being MIA lately, the spring semester just started and I've been spending my time either at class, studying, hanging out with friends or family.
Buuuuuut, since it's the SPRING semester, I've been obsessed with some new nail polish picks so I thought I could share them with you all!

First up is Sweetheart by OPI! This girly pink is such a classic. It goes with any outfit and is super timeless. I'm actually halfway through my second bottle!

This second one is this dark red shade from OPI, called Visions of Love. From the Holiday 2013 collection, this burgundy shade actually adds a little sass into your everyday outfit. However, I find that with this wine red shade it's best to use it when you have longer nails- it just adds to the effect!

Now last but definitely not least is this purple-based grey polish by Essie. The shade is in Chinchilly. I think I've actually mentioned this in a blog post before! But this shade is the middle ground between a pastel and a neutral. Since it's neutral it can go with any outfit but I reckon that this is the perfect bridge between the winter and spring seasons!

All three rings came in a set from Topshop

All these photos are from Instagram! I finally upgraded to an iPhone 5s (gold!) and I've been obsessed with Instagram. My account is littlemissjuliana go follow me and I'll follow back! I'd love to see pics from people around the world. I've been instagramming pretty much every day or if not every other day.

I will do a blog post soon on my new iPhone!

Wishing Sally a safe trip back from Canada <3

Lots of love from Juliana xox

Nail Polish Favourites: Fall into Autumn!

Hi all,
I apologise for the one week break from blogging that we took; we were both super occupied with our school life :(
Aaaaanyways, back to business.
I've been loving painting my nails recently, and have been transitioning from the bright and bold pastels of Summer to the dark and ominous looking Fall colours.

1. Revlon Elegant

I've always thought that this colour reminds me a bit of Essie's Playa del Platinum, another great nude colour for your nails. I've been loving this, not only because it's a sophisticated "I'm a college student" colour, but a shade that goes with any outfit and any makeup.
It makes me feel sensible when my professors sees my nail colour- it would be incredibly awkward to take a nerdy subject when my nails are BAM bright pink.

2. OPI Sweetheart

This colour will always be a classic in my collection- I've used mine to the absolute pit bottom of the nail polish so I won't be able to upload my own photo for this, but it's super well loved. A classic baby pink- apply one sheer coat for a natural polished look, whereas a few coats will be a girly baby pink.

3. Revlon Ocean Breeze

If you follow me on my twitter, @LittleMJuliana, then you would know that I've absolutely been loving this nail polish. Just because I feel like a mermaid when I wear it. It's a mixture of blues and greens with an irridescent finish, and honestly, I would save this for the weekend/monday for a quick pick-me-up, plus it will definitely distract you in class. I would say to always use a top coat with this, it gives the iridescent glow an extra oomph, plus helps the nail polish stay on longer.
Oh did I mention that it actually smells like the ocean? I swear I'm actually a mermaid.

4. Essie Rock Star Skinny

Since Hong Kong either has a) no Fall season or b) it rolls around in late November, I live my Fall fantasies through other people's Youtube videos, whether it's Get Ready With Me: Fall Edition-s, or Outfit Of The Day-s, or everyone's raves about the Bath and Body Works Leaves candles. And this all happens whilst I'm wearing a skimpy tank top and shorts and the air conditioner blasting in the Hong Kong heat.

5. Essie Chinchilly

Essie Chinchilly just reminds me of warm Autumn days, snuggled up on the couch with a doona, a book, and  mug of hot cocoa, whilst a candle's burning in the background. My mother describes this colour as a "light sesame" colour, whereas I'd say that it's a muted, creamy, off-grey-taupe shade.

I've been so excited for fall, and even more excited for the fall nail polish colours and new Starbucks drinks. But, I just tried the iced Salted Caramel Mocha Frappucino today, and it wasn't as great as I expected it to be.

Anyways, signing off for now, I've got a lot going on the next day, and the rest of the week.

Love, from Juliana.
