Hello all! I spent a fantastic weekend in Hong Kong and stayed at the lovely Peninsula Hotel. I’m a sucker for classical Asian colonial architecture and this place didn’t disappoint! I’m not really used to people turning down the covers and offering to unpack for me, but it was wonderful. Everything was just perfect. I ate tons of great food (the Indian restaurant Tandoor is one of the best restaurants ever) and everywhere I turned, there was another tempting snack. I’ve been to HK several times before and I always really enjoy it- it’s one of my favorite cities in Asia. It’s much more multi-cultural than Japan and more exciting and boisterous.
I did get a hearty stash of nail polish, but I’m a little afraid to use it on my natural nails. I put some on my guy’s toenails to see what would happen. So far, nothing’s turned green or fallen off. The ladies in Hong Kong believe in color and sparkle- greens, purples and neons and spectacular glitter bombs. One brand looked more professional than the others and I think I’ve seen it in Korea, but I’m a little afraid of some of the ultra-cheap glitter bombs I got. I’ll put it on fake nails or maybe use them to give a mani to one of those mean ladies who laughed at me when I had food poisoning. (Just kidding).
I’ll be posting some photos of the haul shortly and swatch them in the next few days. Glittahbombs away!
Hi Jen, good to see you back and well rested.
I want to thank you so much for my nails, they are even more pretty than they look in the pics.
I want to ask for your permission to make a post about them in my blog.
I love the extras, and my fave is the Christmas one, Thank you so much again!!
Hi Arie,
Thanks for the good wishes! Of course you can make a blog post from the nails I made for you- I’m so glad you liked them!
Glad to hear that you had a great vacation after all that’s happened lately! Can’t wait to see the pictures!! Tried my first franken this past weekend, I made a complete mess but it was well worth it
Aw, sorry to hear it was a mess but better luck next time!
I can’t wait to see the glitters you got in HK. ( I just realised that HK could also stand for Hello Kitty…) I hope it was a great trip!!=]
It was a great trip- aahhh. I needed a little pick-me-up after all that’s happened lately. I’ll post some photos!
Gasp – I can’t wait to see what you got!! NEED PICTURES STAT!!
And I would soooooo paint those girls with bad nail polish!!
Yeah, I’m going to make a franken with rat poison, Funky Chunky, and plutonium and give them manis. Or maybe just Funky Chunky alone would be enough. Mwa ha ha…
Must have been so nice to spend a weekend in a beautiful hotel like that. I agree with Brooke, paint those means girl nails with that polish. Sounded like a wonderful time. Glad you enjoyed yourself.
Thanks Lucy!
