Macarons and Ombre Nails

Aren't these macarons so lovely? It's a bit expensive, but I like how they taste and look! So dainty.

Inspired by the pastel colors of macarons, I did ombre nail. 

Here's step by step on how I achieved that look:

1. Apply base coat.

2. Apply white polish. Try not to have it too thick or too thin.

3. Prepare a clean makeup sponge, and cut the sponge according to your nail size. Apply the desired nail polish onto the sponge.

4. Dab the sponge to the nail. If the color is not saturated enough, apply more and more until desired.

5. Apply fast drying topcoat. I recommend the Sally Hansen Insta-Dry.

6 . Get a Q-Tip soaked in polish remover to remove polish that has gotten on the skin. Another method I use is in the hot shower, genty peel or scrape off the excess dried polish from your skin.

7. Ombre nail: complete!

I used Revlon 'Minted' and Essie's "French Affair" as my gradiation colors.

Until next post...

Suddenly I See

 | FRY'S ELECTRONICS HEADPHONES | FOREVER 21 SHIRT DRESS | URBAN OUTFITTERS PURSE | DOC MARTENS |

I love starting my day with good music because it instantly brightens up my day. The title of this outfit is one of the songs I love listening to in the morning, because it was featured in the movie Devil Wears Prada, and this song comes up when all the women are getting ready in the morning to start their days. Listen to it:

Suddenly I See - KT Tunstall

 Perfume of the day: DKNY Be Delicious

This is an amazing perfume. It's very fruity and juicy, so not heavy at all. I bought the little version of this, so I only have a little bit left... sad. But this is my all time favorite perfume to use throughout the whole year, preferrably spring and summer!

 So you guys are probably used to seeing me with wavy hair.. today I decided to straighten my hair. Wondering what products I used? Here you go: Got2b heat protector, Remington Pearl Straightener, Biotherm Silk Therapy (not shown above)

Last but not least... this is my leftover lunch from school. I just finished eating these... so yummy! I love my mom for making me legit Kimbap every morning.. :')

Hope you guys enjoyed my outfit! I cannot wait for the weekend to come already.

Korea Trip (continued)

So through my Formspring, I got a suggestion saying that I should post more pictures from my Korea Trip. I took so many pictures that if I decided to upload them all, it will overwhelm my blog with it. So I am going to upload bits and pieces through a period of time. This is my second continued post about my Korea Trip. If you want to see my first blogpost about it, click here!

 This was one of many meals that I had. The food was yummy!

 This is called ganjang gejang (간장게장). It's basically crab marinated in soy sauce. As strange as that sounds, it's actually quite delicious.

This is takoyaki. It's a Japanese snack, I think.

 At night, we went to the Seoul Lantern Festival. It was gorgeous and filled my eye with joy. This was the entrance.

 Yup. These were all made by hand. I was just amazed by how grand and detailed it was.

 This was one of the fine attraction that people gathered around. It was so awesome!

While I was walking through the festival, I looked up and noticed the buildings in Seoul. This sight really hit me that I was actually in Korea. (even though it is my home country, I have not been there since 2006...) Also, it made me realize how I loved city life. I just had to snap a picture of it.

So this concludes my second post of my Korea Trip. I will probably post the third one up, so keep checking back if you don't wanna miss it!
