White- Julep Gunta // Gold Glitter- Forever 21 Gold Rush
I’ve been having fun playing around with different holiday manicures- busting out my favorite red, gold and glitter polishes. This time I wanted to switch it up color-wise and try something besides red or gold; enter this bold blue polish from Julep. Then, since it is the holiday season, I had to add a coat of glitter for the sparkle factor. The end result reminds me a little bit of a starry night sky :)
Tell me: What colors have you been wearing on your nails recently?
![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?
