For the holidays, I definitely wanted to rock some glam nails. I bought this perfect gold nail polish using the Sephora gift card that I won months ago from Elle Sees. I think when you have a color that fabulous, you don’t need any other embellishments on your nails! The second picture is of the nails I did for New Year’s Eve. The color scheme of my outfit was black and gold, so I wanted some fun sparkly nails to match! First I taped off the top portion of my nails and painted the bottom portion black. Then, after the black dried, I put on a light coat of clear on the tops of my nails and sprinkled gold glitter on them. Needless to say, there was glitter everywhere for days! For the final touch, I covered my entire nails in a gold sparkle nail polish and I think I achieved some serious sparkle! :)
Tell me: What look did you sport on your nails for NYE?
![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?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

Your fancy nails best my fancy nails every time – I’d resent you if I didn’t like looking at all your amazing manicures so much…

This post cracks me up bc I literally tried doing the black and gold nails yesterday and failed miserably. I am the worst at painting my own nails. They look great on you!
