Weekly Nail: Strawberry Ice Cream

Sorry this is a day late! Today is my Friday, and I've had a really busy week at work. I get one day off and then have to get straight back into it! I can't really complain though, gotta work to make money. I wasn't too sure how I was going to do my nails this week. I've been trying to decide what nail polish I should take overseas with me, and now I just need to figure out which pink to take! I have a lot of pinks, so I think I need to use a few to see which is my favourite.

I used OPI Sparrow Me the Drama over Revlon Pale Cashmere. I'm not entirely sure I like the way I've used nail stickers here, but I the combination of colours somehow reminds me of strawberry ice cream.

This week I did a practice pack of my bag, and realised that packing is going to be a lot harder than I first thought! So far, without adding toiletries like shampoo, I've already got 18kg, and hardly any room left! I think I can pack things a little smaller, and I can put a few things in my carry on. I've already had to make the decision to leave my black pumps behind and only bring 1 pair of heels. I've cut back to 13 dresses, 14 lipsticks, and 6 nail polishes. I've told a few people how I've managed to cut it back to 14 lipsticks, and no one seems to understand how I think 14 is not enough. I swear, the 14 is all lipsticks I will be using more than once! I can't possibly leave behind any of my MAC lipsticks, or my Revlon lip butters and balmstains! Anyway, I can tell packing is going to be frustrating and, if I'm going to have to cut back, will probably end in tears. I'll just have to keep reminding myself that they do have shops in England, and whatever I have to leave behind, I can buy an even better one of when I get there.

  4. This is really cute, I've been meaning to do a half moon mani for the longest time! I'm going away in July and I can't bare to think of how little makeup I will have to bring! But I figured I will only take a couple of lipsticks... like you, I need a lot of variety lol, but I will more than likely be buying so much that I can just wear them as I buy them, haha.

    1. Thanks, you should do one too, they're so easy and look lovely. I think choosing which makeup to bring with you on a trip is even harder than choosing what clothes to take! Taking less definitely does have it's advantages - like being able to fit more shopping in!
