Hello! I'm just painting my nails as I type. What am I painting? Scroll down then ;)

I'm really excited to start this new blog, and I really hope anyone who reads this will enjoy my content.

Down to KL town for big ol' birthday boy's birthday lunch, and shopping after!

Haul of the day!

Floral print cami dress from Miira mew, a Japanese boutique in Tokyo Town, Pavilion. Was surprised at the prices of the entire shop, because they were around the 20-30 Ringgit range for dresses, tops and skirts.

This dress costed RM22.90, and came in two designs, this floral, yellow, salmon and blue one, as well as a navy blue tribal print one, which my sister got. Both are really cute and summery, and they are in free size, with a cinched but stretchable bust line. Such a bargain!

Grey loose pullover/ long sleeved T-shirt from DIVIDED by H&M, while at LOT10, that is SO comfy and versatile. It has a somewhat blurred stripy black and grey pattern, and is really really soft. Looking forward to wearing this over a lacy black tube top, or lounging in it on the beach. It's a little sheer but not entirely unwearable on its own, at the price of RM49.90.

Second thing which was from H&M, a basic black flowy high-neckline dress, made from really soft and lightweight T-shirt like material. Also another really versatile piece, which can be dressed up or down. With some killer heels and some statement gold accessories, this dress would really classy but yet comfortable. Or, maybe with some ballet flats or sandals and a simple cross-body bag, it could be an easy "I didn't care but I still look good" outfit. So excited to wear this one! It sold at RM49.90 as well.

Uniqlo's Airism camisoles were on sale for RM19.90 which was about 40% of its original 30 Ringgit price. Have had these camisoles for ages and are really lightweight and easy to wear under white/skin coloured clothing. For me, these are under-school uniform camis that can be worn everyday to combat the extreme humidity and heat in Malaysia without being indecent in school. Love these!

Black sandals with gold detailing and pretty grayish stones which I really like and have been what I've been looking from, and they're from Opera in Sungai Wang. These were about RM50, not sure of the exact price. These are actually a size up from my shoe size, 36, but fit pretty well. I'm still a slight bit doubtful of the level of comfort these sandals provide, but they have a really thick and squishy base, which I like. I like the cute little flower/ clover detailing which can actually be pulled to adjust the length of the straps too. I'm expecting to get a lot of use out of these new babies!

Nailpolish current favourite:

The Loreal Paris Holographic Shine nailpolish in the colour 812, with ORLY Top2Bottom as a basecoat and topcoat.

The Holographic Shine nailpolish has been a new discovery for me and it is such a pretty peach-toned pink colour with holographic glitters that give it a gold sheen at different angles. Two coats of it is sufficient for it to be glittery and opaque. I think this has become my second go-to nail polish when I don't know what to paint it as it goes wonderfully with my skintone and looks very flattering. Its holographic glitters is another advantage as it's not very visible if not painted on very smoothly.

My only problem with it is its texture, which can be a little gloopy and hard to apply and must be shaken very very well. But it's a possibility that the thickness and gloopy-ness could be caused by the fact that it is a VERY old bottle of polish (I don't even know since when) and could be drying up. I would love to get a new bottle soon and I really really hope they didn't discontinue and will not discontinue this product.

The Top2Bottom clear polish is a current favourite for me as it glides on so so easily and is very very easy to use. It's finish is a basic glossy look that makes nails feel much smoother if you have bad painting skills like me! HAHA. As for its lasting ability it is average, but it does the job.
