Nails~

I absolutely LOVE painting my nails! I admit it, I have an obsession with nail polish. I change colors every week and love to try different designs. Lately I've been trying to cut back on them, at $5-8 a bottle this hobby of mine is getting a bit expensive haha. I've been browsing some blogs and forums and it looks like the nail polish Hidden Treasure from Sally Hansen is quite sought-after. So I've been looking for it for the last month but no success. But yesterday I went to my local pharmacy to buy some face wash and went to the makeup section for a quick peek and there, on a separate display, was 2 bottles of Hidden Treasure!!! I can't tell you how excited I was then! I grabbed the 2 bottles right away and ran to the cash! I tried it on right after I got home and I must say it's pretty amazing! The big flaky glitters are really gorgeous and it has a kind of holographic effect to it.

You can't really see the effect of Hidden Treasure over Nouvelle Vague. I wasn't able to catch it on camera but it's much nicer in real life. Also, Hidden Treasure looks better on dark nail polish since you can see the flaky glitters better (it's gorgeous!). If one of you guys is interested I'm selling my second bottle of Hidden Treasure. I bought it for my friend but she found a bottle at her local pharmacy too so I have an extra one =)

Oh and since we're on the nails topic, I did my nails last week with OPI's Wing It from the Flutter Collection. It's kind of a raspberry pink nail polish with blue and pink micro-glitters in it. It's really pretty I fell in love with it when I put it on! I also got a lot of compliments from friends and customers at work it made me really happy hahaha.

Oh and just to let you know I'm still getting used to my DSLR so the pictures don't look that great at the moment but I'm getting there! My friend is going to give me a small crash course on DSLR cameras hehehe ^^

Canon XS

I have a part-time job in a huge electronic store and last week there was a re-opening of a store so we had huge deals on several products. One special caught my eye and it was the deal on the Canon XS. It had a hugeee discount, from $529.99 to $349.99!! Since there was only a limit of 15 per store and the sale only lasted 3 days, I couldn't resist and bought it!!! I've always wanted a DSLR but never owned one so my friends suggested me that the Canon XS was a good starter DSLR. I can finally take good quality pictures I'm so happy haha! The only camera I own is an old Canon powershot and it takes blurry pictures, even my phone camera is clearer -_-. I love photography and maybe this can be the beginning of a new fun hobby hehe. =)

Anyway, I would love to post pictures for you guys to see but I still don't really know how it works haha ^^ I'm gonna go read the manual now and I'll keep you updated!
