The Dragon goes to Hong Kong

Hello everyone ^_^/

As I mentioned in my previous post, in early September I went on a very exciting trip to one of my favourite locations in the world, Hong Kong. While packing my suitcase I was trying to decide what to do with my nails and since this was a business trip I decided to wear something that would bring me luck.



My nail polish of choice was Dragon from a england, a fabulous holographic green nail polish from the Legend collection.

Dragon is a symbol of luck and prosperity in Hong Kong and I can say it brought me luck too ^_^

I used two layers of dragon and then decided to add some nail stickers to add a dragon scale look to some of my nails. Topped everything with Seche Vite topcoat and my nails looked awesome for the whole trip.



Although my schedule was quite tight I managed to go around and see a bit of the city (and catch up with friends who live there).


Hong Kong is a beautiful vibrant city and there is so much to see and do. I had some time to make a brief visit to Disneyland and also admire the 100 Doraemons outside of Harbour City.

Of course I took some snaps of the food to share with you all.

I did a bit of shopping too but I will make another post with my Hong Kong haul and my favourite places to shop there.

Have you ever been to Hong Kong dear readers? What is your favourite travelling destination?

  1. Sounds so nice :D
    I've been thinking of traveling there since before as my friend/ex-coworker is there but still I haven't as I can't decide where to go with my limited budget.
    And I never knew Doraemons there!
    I wanna gooooo!

  5. I have an A England polish as well but I do not fancy the consistency. I'm now wondering if I received a bad batch, none of the other bloggers moan about how it goopy it can get lol!

    1. Hmmm, it sounds like you had a bad batch because all my a-england polishes are very easy to apply. Maybe you can drop them an email about it, the owner is very kind :)

  7. Nice pics :D!!!

    And fab trip :D! the food looks so good! I must admit we did not do so much local cuisine while we visited lol! But very vibrant city indeed :D but for some reason I felt like it was dripping from above everywhere?! (maybe AC fan outside xD?) did you notice that too?

    1. The food in HK is just awesome! So much variety! We didn't know what to pick everyday XD
      Ah I know what you mean! This time the weather was actually fabulous (the typhoon season had just ended) but last time I went in March and it was exactly like you describe. I think it is from the extreme humidity.

  8. I love Dragon. It's what drew me to a-England's polishes in the first place! :)
