Merry Christmas! ♡ Presents and gets haul

Merry Christmas, Gals! 🎄🎁 How were your Christmas celebrations? I’ve been seeing so many amazing photos of gal looks and makeups and gets that they motivated me to do this post. So I'm really excited of this.

At the beginning I was thinking about taking some pictures of my look too, however here we get together to celebrate really late at night for dinner and then we take pictures at midnight so I was already too tired and feeling a bit sick. But I could take pictures of my nails and clothes at least! Did you saw it on my Instagram? I was really excited with them.

Japanese food + casual Liz Lisa co*de

Hi, Gals! Somehow today I got a last boost of energy just when I decided to go to bed so I decided to write a small blog post aka. story time of my day. I don’t usually go out, but today I had a full day out having lots of fun with friends.

I started my day doing my makeup on camera with my precious gals from GyaruGO! 💖 From time to time we get together to do our makeup on video calls and it’s so much fun! There is nothing better than spending your time full of laughs with friends. So I took that time to get ready to my main date. And by that time I already did something I never thought I would do: Cutting my bangs. I’m super loyal to my hair stylist and usually she’s the only one who comes to cut my hair but I just got crazy. What do you think about this change?

So once I was ready I went to meet my friend for our super nice date... to the dentist. 🤡🦷 We had many things to check, specially me because after removing my braces I like to go pretty often to be sure my teeth are still perfect! And they were. So after knowing everything was ok, but headed to our main place: Kaikan! A delicious Japanese restaurant I really like and haven’t visited for a long long long time.

Kaikan is my second favorite Japanese restaurant after Naruto, another restaurant whose ramens are loyal to the Japanese ones. But the good thing about Kaikan is that is bigger and their menu is larger too.

Happy Holidays! + Papillon Lookbook

¡Ya no tenemos que esperar más! Este fin de semana el lookbook de vacaciones de Papillon fue lanzado y está precioso. Es increíble la cantidad de esfuerzo que le puso cada gal que participó y cada look no es más que más y más bonito que el anterior. Así que aquí les comparto el look que preparé para ese día y mis páginas favoritas. (Fue muy difícil elegir solo unas cuantas). 

We don't have to wait anymore! This last weekend Papillon's holiday lookbook was released and it's gorgeous. It's amazing how much effort put every gal who joined on it. Every look is just prettier and prettier than the previous one. So here I'll share with you the look I made for this edition and my favorite spreads. (It was really hard to chose just a few).

My favorite Himekaji trends of all time!

I know, I know that when we talk about Himekaji, the first thing we think about is floral prints, dresses an sukepans. However, the style has had many trends during the years and after following many of them, I think I've decided which ones are my favourites and the ones I wear the most. 

 

1. Floral Dresses

I've always prefered JKSs over OPs because of versatile they are, but even if I began Himekaji loving plain colors, after some years I fell in love with prints, but not all of them. There are many kind of floral prints in Himekaji but for me the best ones are the old-school ones.  2009 - 2012 floral prints from Liz Lisa and Dear my Love (DreamV) were not just the prettiest ones, but also the most iconic in Himekaji. Once I talk about the oldschool style, this is the first thing that comes to my mind. 

#GAL101 - Where to buy press-on nails?

Hi, Gals! Estrenando este nuevo diseño en mi blog, decidí hacer un post casual para compartir mi emoción por las nuevas uñas que me he comprado y estoy esperando a que lleguen. Es la primera vez que compro uñas por internet porque siempre pensé que no me quedarían porque mi uñas y manos son muy pequeñas. Así que decidí empezar con unas baratas. Y si todo sale bien, quiero comenzar a probar tiendas mas especializadas y populares entre gals. Mientras tanto, aquí les dejaré todas las que encontré para inspirarme e inspirarlas. ♡

Hi, Gals! Releasing my new blog design, I decided to do a casual post to share my excitement for the new press-on nails I bought and I'm waiting for to arrive. It's the first time I'm buying nails online because I tought wouldn't fit me since my hands and nails are really small. So I decided to begin with cheap ones and if everything goes ok, I want to try on more specialized and popular gal stores. Meanwhile, here I'll leave all I found to inspire you and myself. ♡

 

Antes que nada, mi sueño siempre ha sido tener uñas extremadamente largas. Cuando comencé a usar uñas acrílicas (como la de las fotos anteriores), fui usándolas poco a poco cada vez más largas. Sin embargo, luego llegó la pandemia y desde entonces ya no he podido usarlas más. Así que por eso me puse a buscar press-ons que pueda usar solo cuando me vaya a vestir. Y entre tanta búsqueda encontré varias tiendas que me entusiasmaron.

Before anything else, my dream has always been to have extremely long nails. When I began to wear acrylics (the those in the previous pics), I got them longer and longer each time. However, then the pandemic arrived and since then I can't wear them anymore. So that's why I started to look for press-ons I can wear just when dressing up. And after searching so much I found many stores I'm excited about.

Girls Falsenail World

Etsy Stores

Para quienes aún no conozcan Etsy, esta web es como un eBay o un AliExpress pero para profesionales creativos. Así que hay muchísimas tiendas de uñas prehechas o incluso también puedes comprar diseños personalizados. Estas tiendas generalmente tienen tallas, lo cual es lo mejor de todo porque mis dedos son pequeños. Sin embargo, como son diseños hechos a mano, suelen ser un poquito caros. Están entre 20 ~ 40 dólares más envío. Pero si quieren ver opciones más económicas, sigan leyendo. ヽ(^o^)丿

For who doesn't know Etsy, this web is like eBay or AliExpress but for creative professionals. Here you can find many stores with premade or even custom made designs. These stores have sizes most of the time, which is the best because my fingers are really small. However, since this are handmade designs, they're usually pretty pricey. There around 20 ~ 40 dollars plus shipping. But if you want to see more economic options, keep reading. ヽ(^o^)丿

Glitter Festa

 

YesStyle Stores

Otra web en donde encontré uñas es YesStyle, que es un e-commerce coreano con todo tipo de productos e belleza y moda. Ahí he comprado pestañas y carteras en el pasado. Sin embargo, también tiene ropa y obviamente productos para uñas. Ahí encontré está única tienda con press-ons llamada Glitter Festa. Así que para diseños un poco más sutiles, es una buena opción. Sus precios van entre los 3 - 7 dólares más envío. Aunque creo que por pandemia no tienen envío a Perú, lo normal era que tengan envío gratis por compras desde 35 dólares.

Another web where I found nails is YesStyle, which is a Korean e-commerce with all kind of beauty and fashion products. I've bought lashes and bags in the past. However they also have clothes an obviously nail products. I only found one press-ons store there that is called Glitter Festa. So for pretty subtle designs, this is a good option. Their prices are aroun 3 - 7 dollars plus shipping. I think because of the pandemic they don't have shipping to Peru, but normally it's free shipping for orders since 35 dollars.

EchiQ Official Store

AliExpress Stores

Y finalmente Ali, en donde compro la mitad de mi vida. Claramente iba a buscar aquí las uñas que quería comprarme para probar y espero que lleguen pronto. Aquí he encontrado uñas de diferentes precios, desde 1 - 10 dólares. Depende mucho de cuánta pedrería tenga y qué tan largas sean. Esta vez me compré 5 sets de uñas y el envío me salió 8 dólares porque lo compré todo en la misma tienda. Pero aquí les dejo una lista con más tiendas.

And finally Ali, where I buy half of my life. Clearly I was going to search here the nails I wanted to buy to test them and I hope they arrive soon. Here I've found different prices from 1 - 10 dollars. It depends on how many rhinestones they have and how long are those nails. This time I bought 5 sets of nails and the shipping was 8 dollars because I bought them all together from the same store. But here I'll share a list with more stores.

• Echi! Official Store
• Shiny Brothers & Sisters 
• Mazerdoo Official Store
• Breezy Bud Store

  

Y eso es. Ya quiero que lleguen las uñas que me pedí, pero debo espera un mes. Lo normal. Y espero que queden super bonitas y no se despeguen con facilidad porque quiero probar muchos otros modelos. Sobre todo me gustaría probar los de Etsy porque tienen diseños mucho más trabajados, pero son bastante caros incluyendo el envío. Deberé pensar al respecto. ¿Ustedes han comprado press-ons online en el pasado? ¿Qué tal les ha ido?

And that's it. I already want the nails I order to arrive but I have to wait for a month. As usual. I also hope they're super pretty and don't fall easily because I want to try many other designs. Specially the ones on Etsy because they have way better done designs. They're pretty expensive though, specially including the shipping. I should think about it. Have you ever bought press-ons online? How was that?
