My winter holiday, a photo blog

January is already upon us and my winter holiday has already ended but I had an amazing time catching up with family and friends, exchanging gifts and travelling around!

So here is a little photo blog about it (^_^) . Beware, this is a photo heavy post.

NARS Night Series

Hello everyone ^_^/

Just two weeks are left for Christmas so I did a bit of holiday shopping. One of the top items on my wishlist was the whole NARS Night Series collection. I love the Night Series eyeshadows and have collected almost all of them over the years so as soon as I saw the eyeshadow palette and nail polishes I knew they had to be mine.

I was so excited when the package arrived!

Here is what was inside. The NARS Night Series Eyeshadow Palette and two nail polishes, Night Breed, a black creme with silver glitter, and Night Rider, a sparkly glittery light purple.

I am so in love with these two nail polishes right now <3
So of course I had to wear them on the spot. Application was perfect, as expected of NARS nail polishes, and you would be pleased to know that these are one coaters! I still applied two coats but one would have been just fine.

After wearing my nails like this for a couple of days, I wanted to spice them up a bit so I did a drip design using the same colours.

What do you think of this collection? Will you be getting anything from it? Are you a fan of NARS in general?
