L - R: French Manicure Tip Guides / 146 That's What I Mint / 120 Absolute Blue / Tip Painter / Quick Dry Topcoat / All by Essence





I came across Essence Nail Polishes while shopping for nail polishes at Watsons one day. I was really surprised by the affordable prices of their nail polishes so I thought that I would buy some and try them out. And they have really nice shades too! Essence nail polishes range from S$2.90 for regular shades (essence colours), S$3.50-S$3.90 for top coats and other misc nail products all below S$4.

If you guys have no idea how much nail polishes in Singapore cost, I'll give you guys a break down of some of the more common nail polish brands prices here. The price range from of nail polishes from OPI/Essie which are around S$10-S$13, Revlon nail polishes are around S$10-S$15, Etude House/TFS nail polishes are around S$3-S$6.  

So the Espress nail polishes are definitely one of the cheaper nail polishes in the market. I got 2 really cute shade, 120 Absolute Blue which is is more like a lilac blue in real life (I have it on right now) and 146 That's What I Mint which is a green apple mint shade.

I wanted to try out their french manicure tip guides (stickers) as well so I got a pack of them (S$2.50 for 30 pcs) and I also got a essence tip painter (white polish) to go with it. I also needed a new top coat since I didn't really like Seche Vite so I got their quick dry top coat and I am really impressed by the results.

I will be doing more nail tutorials in the next few weeks and more nail polish swatches/reviews so please stay tune!

October Fashion Haul | Topshop, H&M

Read Article →
Hi guys! I'm a few days late but here is the long awaited October's monthly fashion haul. I got a ton of accessories this month, mainly from Topshop, they were having amazing designs on bogo this month so I went on a slight frenzy. This post is going to be pretty picture heavy so let's get right into it, shall we?


I'll start with accessories first.


I got this very cute pair of earrings from Topshop. It was on sale for S$9 and has a very cute floral design made up orange gemstones with a faux pearl in the center. Original price was around S$19.



I got this mainly because it felt very designer inspired to me, like something you would find from Burberry. It has a very classy, elegant , upper class feel to it so I would definitely wear this to more formal, glamorous occasions. Also on sale for S$9, original price was around S$23.





This necklace is definitely one of my favourite out of the bunch, it has a white leather weave band with a gorgeous pendant made up of a mixture of lilac/pale blue rhinestones with clear ones. I think this is the perfect necklace for matching brighter outfits. On sale for S$19, original price was S$33.





I really didn't expect to fall in love with this necklace when I first saw it. I don't really go for tube necklaces because they can weigh down an outfit and make the look too busy. But I find myself reaching out for this necklace so many times. It matches almost anything I wear since my style is very casual, plain tee with jeans, and this necklace makes it more interesting. Original price was around S$33 - $36 and I got it on sale for S$19.




This is hands down my favourite necklace purchase. This collar necklace has amazing details, and looks so well made and expensive. It has translucent white rhinestones of different sizes with silver spikes. I can't wait to wear it out. It was on sale for S19, usual price was S$36.




Last piece and probably my least favourite out of the bunch. Don't get me wrong, I still love it. It has a very tribal, ethnic feel to it. It 'clangs' a lot which can be a nuisance at times. The design and colour spectrum of this necklace is amazing, it has black, gold, silver, white and neon yellow! So it goes with so many different colours and outfits. Originally S$33, on sale for S$19 as well.


Moving on to clothes...
 I got 2 basic tops from Cotton On (left) for S$5 and a coral tee from H&M (right) for S$7. Both tops are super comfy and cute.


From Cache Cache, I got this pair of adorable palm tree printed mint shorts. Although it is the fall season now, Singapore is still battling with the unpredictable heat and stormy weathers so shorts are definitely a staple for us. Originally $40 but had a 50% off.

 From H&M sale section, I purchased a pair of low waisted polka dot jeans. It fits really nice, doesn't make my legs look any bulkier than it is. It was on sale for S$30, originally around S$60-$70.



I went a little crazy in H&M belt section. They were all on sale for less than S$10 and I was really surprise because there were some really heavy pieces. From top to bottom: S$10, S$5, S$3, S$3. I believe some are still available in stores.


From Topshop, I got a cute mint polka dot headband for S$9. It is made from a nice chiffon material with wires in the ribbon area so you can twist the ends of the ribbon to your liking. I think this is a nice piece to have, especially if you really love the colour mint.




I also got these pair of sweet wedges from H&M shoe section. I have been looking for similar designs since forever, sandals are so in trend these days and it was reduced to only S$15 from the original price of S$59.90. They are very easy to walk in too.


That's all guys! I hope you enjoyed this post and I'll see you guys in my next one! xo
