I bet you could have guessed that sooner or later I would have to bust out the Christmas nail art! I had some time to spare yesterday, so I played around with these colors and ended up with this little Christmas tree design. The lines are not as sharp as I would have liked, but not bad considering that I was free-handing with a bobby pin. As a Christmas present for myself, I might just have to pick up a set of proper nail art brushes!
Don’t forget, you can get 20% off on purchases of $20 or more from Julep- just go to their site and use the code VIP20 to get your discount! Also, check back on Wednesday for my last gift guide of the season- the $10 and under set!
Disclaimer: Some of these nail polishes were provided to me by Julep; however, I only recommend products and services that I like and believe that my readers will like as well.
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!

It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?

Super cute! I’m still deciding on my holiday nails :)
EEEEE! Nnenna, you are AMAZING! I love the little trees complete with glitter! :) I wish my left hand were as good as my right in painting dainty designs!
Aww how festive! I’m terrible with nail art – or doing my own nails in general :)
