[Nail Polish] Ciate over several

Hello everyone!

Happy Monday?!?!

After so long, I am going to share one of my manicure from June... (what?!?!)

Okay.  I applied Ciate "Jewel 083" over different colors to see how they work together.

On my thumb is "Jewel 083" x 2 coats.

On my index finger is "Jewel 083" over  "No.41" from Rimmel 60 seconds collection.

The base color of my middle finger is Ciate "Holiday Blue 021" (read this post).

The base color of my ring finger is "Stormy Weather" of Deborah Lippmann.

As for my pinky finger is a grey creme from Zoya.

[Done with my left hand.]

[Let's now look at the base colors of my right hand.]

Thumb: Nude creme from random brand.

Index: Chocolate Brown from OPI

Middle: "Nymphea" from Dior (read this post)

Ring: "Lincoln Park after Dark" in Suede from OPI

Pinky: "It's raining men" from Deborah Lippmann 

[Work Attire] [Casual] Packing for the Weekend (Value Pack!)

Packing for the weekend is not completely casual at all because I usually get off after work on Fridays.  Thus, today, I would like to share what I have packed for my trip home last month.  

Here's how I stay chic and cool.  

(Most items  are less than $1000 NTD, about $33 USD)

First, you have to pack for all occasions on your calendar and travel LIGHT!

Friday: Work + Commute

Saturday: Family Birthday Dinner

Sunday: Commute

[Note] It is extremely hot already here in Taiwan, so I have chosen silk and light weight fabric in this post.

Friday's Outfit

[Work Attire] Fit and flare dress is perfect for a casual Friday.  

What is missing in this photo is a dark wash denim shirt (in my bag) to top it off when sleeveless dress is too revealing and keep me warm in some over air-conditioned meeting rooms.  

You can always replace sandals with any flats if open-toe shoes are not permitted at work.

Shoes: Sam Edelmen Gigi Sandals (shop here) (purchased at about $3x USD)

Dress is about $6 ~ $7 USD.  Belt is about $7.

Saturday's Outfit

[Casual] A&F Navy Lace Top (a tad peplum style) goes well with nude/pastel pink maxi skirt!

Same belt to create proportion and the same GiGi sandals.

Lace Top: about $30 USD.  Maxi skirt: $12 USD.

I didn't take pictures of my Sunday commuting outfit because the only difference is I wear the cami with the denim shirt and tie at front.  (Denim shirt is about $25 USD.)
