helloberry bracelets

I have been obsessing over these bracelets lately and love every single colour that they come in! These "helloberry" bracelets are handmade by three friends here in Toronto, Canada. I started to obsess over these bracelets ever since I have noticed "ThatsHeart" on youtube rocking them and posting pictures of her arm candy on instagram. These bracelets are made of plastic lattice and are attached to a gold chain. The bracelet does come in many different colours, styles and sizes (bracelets are made at 20cm roughly 8inches, but bracelets can be customized according to sizes).

The bracelets that I decided to get are called the "Mini Smoothies" and the colours that I chose were "Oceanberry and Mocha". Each of these mini bracelets costs $14 CAD  and approximately $15 USD. However with the different types of bracelets that they have the prices range from $14-37 depending on which bracelet you chose and the colour. Shipping charges due apply and helloberry DOES ship EVERYWHERE. Since I live in Canada, the bracelets should normally arrive within 3-4 days but because of the amount of orders they had, shipping took a little over a week. Because these bracelets are all handmade shipping may take a bit longer due to the high volume in order but the wait is well worth it! Overall, I am definitely going to order more of these bracelets because they are so cute and are great to layer with different jewelry pieces!

Color Club Nail Polish Review

It's been such a long time since I have posted something! But I am definitely back and will start posting more reviews since I have just finished my finals. Lets start,

I have recently heard of this Color Club nail polish and decided to give this a try. The Color Club nail polishes are available in Canada and I purchased this duo from Winners for $8. From my knowledge, the duo polishes that I purchased is from their recent collection called "Blossoming". Now in this collection there are 6 polishes and they do come in a set but I was only able to find the duo. The colors are called "Blue-ming and Diamond Drops".
I was kind of skeptical to get these polishes because I was thinking that the color pay-off was going to be just horrible. Surprisingly, the color pay-off was great! it is very opaque and you could use just one coat if you wanted to. However, I find it hard to control because it is very runny and creamy. As for the glitter polish, "Diamond Drops" I would say that it is not the greatest glitter polish out there but for the price it works just fine. Overall, I would definitely purchase more of the Color Club nail polishes because for the price and the color pay-of it is well worth it.
