Nail of the week and lego

Still in NYX mood. This week color is my favorite color and I must say this is the perfect purple nail polish I've ever had.

NYX Girl Fierce Purple

My friend made these lego costumes for his office halloween party with his friends. It looks so cool I just have to try it on! They made the full body and everything looks like a real lego! Here are some pics I took just with the head on :)

Nail of the week and everything else

This week I decided to try one of the NYX polishes that I got. I'm so excited to try the Bermuda Triangle. It looks gorgeous in the bottle and it looks even better on my nails!

RV is going back to Indo for 2 weeks last weekend, so we had lunch together on Friday. There's so many restaurants I want to try in downtown Mt. View and for this time, I picked Vaso Azzurro. I was really excited to eat there because of all the rave reviews, but it was pretty disappointing. The foods are bland and we ended up spending $50 for lunch!

Nail of the week & new nail polishes!

Nail of the week...
Orly Rococo A-Go-Go

These NYX polishes just came yesterday. My friend and a couple of her coworkers ordered tons of NYX nail polishes last week, so I ordered some too. I've never tried NYX polishes before, but I heard great reviews about them. The price is really nice, $1.99 each! In addition to that, I also get a Sephora by OPI polish. I can't wait to try these on!

Hermes Gavroche with Mors Ring



I recently bought this Hermes gavroche and have been searching on how to use it. I saw this tutorial in tPF and tried it on. I had the mors ring for a while and never used it, so I finally find a use for this. My fold is not as neat as the girl in tPF yet, but I'm learning :)

Back from Hawaii!

WARNING: This post is pictures-heavy!

I'm back from my week vacation in Maui. It was exciting and tiring as well. The first few days we need to wake up early due to the activities we are doing, but overall, it was a great trip!



We started our trip by going to Old Lahaina Luau the same day we arrived. It was a new experience for all of us since we've never been to any luau before. The settings are beautiful and the location is by the beach with a lot of different activities and of course, foods!


I really recommend this place to have your luau experience. The foods were just okay, but the view, the attractions and pre-attractions were great!


We actually got a chance to see how they cook kalua pork! They seasoned the whole pig, wrapped it in leaves and cooked it in an "underground oven".


The next day, we started our day early and headed to Hana. If you've been to Maui before, you know going to Hana takes forever and the roads are crazy! We did make some great stops to take pictures and enjoy the scenery.



I might not go there again if I go back to Maui, but for first timers, it definitely a must! It took us the whole day round trip from our hotel in Kaanapali to Hana.





We stopped at Mama's Fish House on the way back to have dinner. We did not have a reservation and we waited for an hour. However, it's located by the beach so we played with the sands and took pictures and one hour seems like 5 minutes!
