Oh pih eye. Haul

Soooo, I, me, Au Yeung Wai Ying have been REALLY laaaazy. I have like a VERY busy schedule for school and everyday feels like I've never slept enough. I went back from vacation since a month ago and I would have definitely upload some pictures of my trip if I'd taken any. So all by all, I went to the far east, Hong Kong and even Macau for a few days. Now, I did take pictures of my trip to Macau of the hotel I stayed, but I didn't take any pictures while I stayed in Hong Kong. I guess Hong Kong wasn't worth the pictures because I almost go there every year. But this DO give me an idea, I bought a lot of clothes and I will, definitely, really, upload my summer purchase! But all my clothes are very neatly stocked in my closet and it would be a waste to take all of my clothes out of my very neatly stocked closet, isn't it? But I PROMISE I'll show you my mini collection.

So today's post is about my obsession lately. I really managed to have even MORE nail polishes than I already had. I created an obsession for the nail polishes of OPI. I never really liked OPI because I find them very teuer (expensive for German) and I didn't want to spend any money on nail polishes if it's only going to be on my nails for 2 days. BUT, yep there is a but, on my trip in Hong Kong, I was seeking for any cheap polishes like I do every year, now in Fa Yuen Street I bumped into a nail care store. AND it was like 65hk$. That's about 6,50 euros. Now that's about half the price of one OPI polish here in Belgium. And I did some research of course about how I can distinguish fake from real OPI polishes, and I can tell you, they are authentic (at least the one I picked). Apart from that store, I bought 1 OPI polish for 45$ (this colour won't be in the pictures) and that was real fake! Even the words on it are spelled wrong. Now I'm going to give you some photos of my OPI nail polishes. And I'll show you how much polish I actually have! And there are actually many more, because I sent a package with some stuff in it and I still haven't receive it :o( . While we're all waiting for the post package, enjoy the polishes! :oD Take good care of yourself!

 What actually do I love about OPI nail polishes?
- They have super pretty colours
- They are very shiny (also available in matte colours)
- They have A LOT OF CHOICE
- They dry SUPERFAST
- They stay on very long
- They have good brushes
- ...

- I bought most of them at Planet Parfum: for every OPI nail polish you buy (it was till 31/10/2011), you'll sponsor the organisation: Fight Breast Cancer: so my money is well spent! -

   

I love the OPI shatters! I still need all the blue ones, especially the turquoise colour, I just LOVE it!

From left to right:
- Gold Shatter
- Silver Shatter
- Black Shatter
- Pink Shatter
(made especially for the Breast Cancer organisation: Pink of Hearts 2011)

This one I actually bought for the red one (first polish), they also had it in a bigger bottle (15ml) but I thought these were very cute!

Name of polishes - From the KATY PERRY collection:
left to right:
1) The one that got away
2) Teenage Dream
3) Last Friday Night
4) Not like the movies

I also bought 2 bottles of Essie nail polish. I'd still prefer OPI nail polishes, I think Essie colours are wonderful though! But they aren't very shiny, they have a lot of pastels. Don't get it wrong, I do love pastels, but I just love shiny fancy colours more! 


The green one is named "Pretty Edgy" and the pastel blue-greenish one is called "Mint Candy Apple". 

It's not very clear, but this one is orange. I tried this one and I was quite disappointed. I mentioned earlier that I love shiny colours, but this one was apparently a matte one :o(. *Sobs* Still, I want to try other colours from China Glaze.

So, this is my collection nail polishes, most of them are very cheap, though very good quality. And no, I haven't tried them all yet, but I still got time. *Rolls eyes*

Some brands I have in this box: Arezia, Revlon, Eleanor, Joanna Rose, Pinkey, Essence, The Face Shop... (Mainly from Hong Kong)

As you can see, I have one from Chanel. Just one, not more. There was a period I was obsessed with yellow! Yellow clothes, yellow nail polish, yellow accessories... I fell in love with that yellow polish, but I was very upset because it doesn't dry fast... I had to apply A LOT of layers and I remove it a few times because it just didn't want to dry. Well, maybe it's just me, but I just don't really love the texture...

I also have those Yves Saint Laurent - French Manicure pens, but they don't work really well for me, because I can't draw very well I guess...

After my "yellow period", I got a "blue period" now. I think blue is a very daring colour!
