Cardcaptor Sakura GETS!

 Recently I posted about going to a Cardcaptor Sakura Pop-up Shop but they were sold out of some of the items I wanted to buy, so I ordered online.  There was a delay as the umbrella (my main item I wanted!) was delayed by the manufacturer, and the shipment only just arrived recently!

I'm super happy with everything~

Recent Outings and Coords!

Recently I've gone out a bit though I haven't posted in a while!

Kokorolia

I went to Kokorolia maid cafe with my friends again!  The outfit was rather last-minute and I should have worn an underskirt >_<  My petticoat is showing in the photo 🙀

Monster Hunter 20th Anniversary x Sushiro Collaboration!

 Yes, it's another Monster Hunter restaurant collab!! And the goods this time are quite nice in my opinion!

This time it's Sushiro, the Japanese brand of conveyor belt sushi. One branch got a full makeover with interior decorations, but it's too far away to bother going to, so my friends and I met up at a closer one.  There was only a Rajang standee here, but I got a photo!


RAR! It's Rajang!

An Upsy Downsy Moon Festival

 Happy Moon Festival 2024 everybody!!!

Oh boy was today a test of my emotional regulation!  For some reason, I've been quite low in mood and energy today and yesterday, but I had plans with my mom today and really didn't want to be a downer.  It feels like a lot of small, inconsequential things have simply added up to make me feel mentally and emotionally in the dumps, so I couldn't enjoy Moon Festival (also called Mid-Autumn Festival) as wholly as I would have liked, but I made the most of the day!

First, an outfit shot!
The print is actually a Moon Festival print with the Jade Rabbit in the moon!

Trying out Press-on Nails

Recently, I decided to give press-on nails a try again.  All previous attempts have resulted in nails popping off within a day or two, even using nail glue.  This is likely due to my strangely-shaped nail beds (flat with sharply curved sides, and two nails are "twisted" like a corkscrew so one side is lower than the other) that often leaves gaps under the press-ons.

I found some relatively cheap nails online on Shopee and bought several sets along with "jelly stickers" for adhesion.  I was hoping the nail stickers would help create a smoother surface area for the press-ons to stick too! I also got both long and short nails to see if it made a difference.

The first set I tried was a 24-piece set made of thin plastic.  I dipped them in hot water and pressed against my natural nails to flatten them out more and hopefully stick better.  This is a trick I learned from the internet.  This let me pick out which nail size fit which finger best as well. 💅

✨Point! Do not dip into the hot water for too long or use boiling water (I used just off the boil, and dipped for 1-2 seconds) or the nails may actually warp out of shape from excessive heat!
