Nail favourites!

As someone who has just recently stopped biting there nails, I have become obsessed with nail polish even more. I need to wear nail polish otherwise I feel like I am just going to bite them... if I wear it I think 'They are way too pretty to be ruined!' while staring lovingly at the colours.
I used to buy nail polish about 4 years ago to put on my stubs. My collection was full of cheap, bright colours from The Face Shop. Sad to say, I stopped using them and they all dried up. Even while biting them I would still buy some cheap ones if I really loved the colours.

At the start of the year I had around 15... since about 2 months ago, it has doubled! Okay, 30 doesn't seem like lots but I am unemployed and have no money so I get all happy every time I buy just 1!!

Out of all of them, I chose my 8 favourites to show you my readers! :D


Tony Moly (not sure of the colour code or name) Mint Green?, Rimmel Lasting Finish in Strawberry Fizz, Canmake (again, no idea..) Blood orangey colour?, O.P.I. in Gone Gonzo!


Rimmel 60 Seconds in Instyle Coral, Ulta3 in Lollypop Lilac, MaxFactor Mini in Diva Violet, Revlon Polish in Girly.



Do mind the mess and also the little bits of stringy things... it's from the cotton wool when I used the remover!
In terms of colour, these are my favourites. I love bright, pastel and shiny colours! 

Tony Moly: It takes around 3 coats to become opaque and chooses when it wants to work well -.- but I love the colour so I don't mind about the hassle!
Strawberry Fizz: The colour is adorable and application is easy, not to sticky consistency and only needs 2 coats.
Canmake: Almost opaque after one coat! Easy to apply and no hassle, however the colour can be too bright  sometimes :)
Gone Gonzo: Needs 3 coats for full effect. Is a bit sticky. I think it is better suited as a top coat over a light blue! Difficult to remove with nail polish remover.
Instyle Coral: I had a coral obsession and this one delivers perfectly. Not too bright and brush is easy to apply. Needs 2+ coats.
Lollypop Lilac: Lovely sweet pink colour. Easy to apply with 2 coats. Isn't very chip resistant :(
Diva Violet: Deep violet colour. Applies easily though not opaque until 3 coats. Chips easily though!
Girly: Silvery pink tint, applies smoothly with no streaks in 2 coats. Chip resistant, however difficult to remove with nail polish remover.

I love all these colours, and I will continue to wear them despite the little set backs. It is very difficult to make the perfect nail polish so it doesn't bother me! 

What's your favourite nail polish? Have you tried any of my choices?

What's in my bag~

I remember doing a post like this 2 years ago on my tumblr and I think they are really fun! What's in someone's bag can show a lot about the person and what they are like... Or it can just show how much junk you carry around with you of course. I think I'm the latter situation!

I got my bag from a shop in Japan! It is actually made of a soft navy blue material. At the time I was looking for a medium sized bag that wasn't too showy, so I really loved this one. My host mother bought it for me for about $30 as a gift! Attached to it is an alpaca and Totoro keychain :3


My wallet is a Cath Kidston inspired wallet that I bought in Singapore for about $5! For the most part it is full of receipts and cards, but I've shown my most used ones which are my ID (I'm too lazy to get my license and Victorian practicing hours and rules are so stupid), my Priceline club card and my myki (Victoria's super annoying card system that doesn't work half the time!).


Next up is my makeup bag that fits my basics that I use most of the time! The pouch came for free with Seventeen magazine Japan and is by the J-brand Dazzlin'! I usually keep my Garnier BB Cream, Etude House Lip Tint, Revlon Lip Butter and some mascara in it :)


Last is the random stuff I keep at the bottom of my bag... Not including rubbish and bobby pins... There is my notebook which has one of my favourite groups Beast on it, a cute pen, my crappy mobile phone which I'm surprised hasn't broken yet, my glasses by Tommy Hilfiger (2 for 1 at specsavers yay!), a softlips vanilla lip balm and my iPod touch which isn't in the picture because I was using it to take these bad quality pictures...

Thanks for reading everyone! Do you have some interesting stuff in your bag?? :)

1. I haven't studied like most people my age because I want to travel. Last year I went to Japan and Singapore. This year I am hoping to go to Korea!

2 K-pop is a HUGE part of my life, it's my number one interest. Last year I went to Singapore just to see my favourite group Big Bang perform for 1 hour. Lot's of people say it's a phase but so far I have liked it for over 6 years.

3. My boyfriend is a French International Student? Not so interesting haha.

4. I was once on Korean television for 2 seconds! Hehehe

Me covering half my face and wearing glasses... still counts!
