Orange! Feat. Etude House Play Nail Polish Review

 Howdy!

Today's outfit post features colorful outfit from GOWIGASA and (also) colorful nail polishes from Etude House. ♡

Sorry for lack of decent pictures of my manicure. Being unable to paint my right hands right, I ran to a cheap nail parlour nearby and ended up with THIS ugly manicure, which I couldn't possibly remove because it was already 9 PM by the time it was finished and I had a morning flight the next day and I needed to take pictures of this post right there right then. Come to think about it, it was all my stinginess' fault for not going to a better nail parlour, not to mention my bad time management for leaving everything to the last minute. Ah………. T_T

Anyway!

I'm making up for that with my pretty decent pedicure here. Not bad, huh? ;D

Loving my candy colored pastel nails!

Overall, Etude House Play Nail Polish has nice consistency, colors pop out nicely and I just needed to swipe twice to get the stronger coat, whereas the colors have appeared at the first swipe. I added a coat of glossy finish top coat with quick-dry effect and my nails went dry very fast and lasted that way for two whole weeks. It also happens to have 130 friggin shades to choose from!! XD

Yea that's a lot of nail polishes! XD

#OOTD

To complement my colorful nails, I put on neon colored tied-up button down shirt and a pastel colored flare skirt; both of lightweight materials to tackle the humid, hot weather in sunny Bali. I combined them with my navy striped bikini (forgot where I got it from) which nicely matched my striped sunnies ^^.

Okay then, thank you so much for reading and see you guys on my next post~ (ˆヮˆ)づ♡

XOXO

Airport Outfit feat. UNIQLO Ultra Stretch Jeans

Traveling long hours might not what you have in mind when you're going somewhere far away. You might have packed what you need when you reach your destination, be it bikinis, winter coats, stilettos, and so on. But have you seriously considered your airport looks? In order to survive a long flight, we think you should. :)

// Points to Remember //

1. You want to feel comfortable because you're going to spend hours sitting / sleeping / trying to get along with your seat there. Therefore, comfort should come first.

2. You want to look stylish all the while being comfortable. Now why should I be stylish, you ask. "It's just for the airport. I'll BE stylish when I reach my destination". Nuh uh, you WANT to look good (or decent, at least) ALL the time, because boy, you never know who you might bump into. Could be an enemy or a prospective lover. Who knows?

2a. A derivative from point 2: it doesn't hurt to bring or put on some SOS items, such as hats, sunglasses or hair ties. This will save you from unwanted situations like puffy eyes from lack of sleep or messy-limp hair from too much sleep lol.

So what kind of outfit that combines both elements into one? Enter UNIQLO Ultra Stretch Jeans.

Quoted from UNIQLO's web about these stretchy pairs: "Leg-defining for the cleanest and skinniest silhouette - hugs snugly from thigh to ankle. You’ll always have ease of movement and the most perfect fit."

Sounds too good to be true for a pair of denim? Well, we're here to find out for the Airport Outfit Challenge -which requires both comfort and stylish look!

UNIQLO Ultra Stretch Color Jeans in Olive (Dark Green)

On Jess:  GOWIGASA Pastel Striped Sweater, Two Tones Postman Bag, Rayray Sunglasses | Shoes from Japan

UNIQLO Ultra Stretch Color Jeans in Khaki (Brown)

So, does it live up to its claim? Yes. Does it meet the requirements for the Airport Outfit Challenge? Gotta say YES!! It's been a long time since we treat ourselves to an awesome pair of jeans that brings comfort yet looks pretty as well. We mean, look at those colors! Perfect shade of olive green and khaki? Boy, do they know how we love earth colors... and considering how hard it is to find these colors on jeans (with great material as well), it must be our lucky day. The comfort level is amazing, too. The material is pretty thick, yet SOFT and elastic. Hate to pick up quotes, but it DOES 'hugs snugly from thigh to ankle' lol. Can't wait to put them on for our next flights and pair em with other outfits as well! :D

Now, do you know that UNIQLO is currently having this exciting event called "USJ Fit Model"? You get to have fun trying on a pair of Ultra Stretch Jeans of your choice (there are many color choices and various sizes), posing with it and get your pictures taken by a professional photographer on site, get your best pic printed for free AND (as if it's not enough) get the chance to WIN FREE USJ worth of IDR 499,000 or UNIQLO Shopping Vouchers!
