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!

1. NYX - NGP 195 Bermuda Triangle

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 :)
