I usually paint my nails every 3-4 days, but not all of these manicures make it to the blog, so I thought it would be fun to share them in a quick round-up post today. The dark purple color was a polish I tried on in Sephora and I absolutely love it. I didn’t pick it up in the store that day because I’ve already spent way too much on beauty this month, but it’s definitely been added to my wishlist!
Tell me: Is there any particular nail polish color on your wishlist right now?
![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?

That purple is gorgeous and definitely a good choice to add to your list! I’ve been wanting a minty green color. Fiver by butter LONDON is pretty as well as Mint Candy Apple by essie.
I love Essie’s Mint Candy Apple and I have to look up the butter London one!
every 3-4 days? that is dedication! I’m lucky if I can find the time to do it once a week. (i have no patience to let them dry). I love your blue manni. I must do a blue one soon.
Yep, I get tired of one color really quickly! The Julep gel top coat I’m using right now dries pretty quickly and I also have this quick dry spray from Sephora that works SO well- I definitely recommend it.
