Woohoo, I'm finally back in Hong Kong and no longer held in the clutches of the Great Chinese Firewall. So frustrating not having access to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Blogger and even Google at times!! Yes, I am a slave to social networking.

Anyway, I'm still in Hong Kong for another day, but managed to put together some of my pictures from my time in Thailand. I went to visit Pattaya and Bangkok - the time I spent there definitely wasn't enough, so I can't wait to be back soon!

Hey everyone :) hope your week has been going well!

Just dropping in to say hello and give you some unfortunate news. Well, it really is just bad for no one but me.. But this morning as I was blogging, my laptop crashed and now will not show anything on the screen. Its a problem that I cannot fix until I return home in June, so I'll be disappearing for a while! Unless I can find another solution.. Can't believe this happened! Oh well. (Secretly I'm trying to download photoshop right now, but the internet connection here is sooooooo bad.)

I'll be heading to Thailand tomorrow, and Shanghai the week after, so if you do want to catch up with me, you'll find me on Twitter (@littlmissandrea) and Instagram (@littlemissandrea).

Catch up with you all soon! :)

Happy Monday! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and had some quality time to spend with your mothers! It's been a little quiet on the blog this week with me being in China and all, but I'm glad to be back in Hong Kong. I don't know what it is, but China always feels so different everytime I'm there. It just doesn't feel as safe, and I always have this sense that something bad could happen at anytime.. but I do enjoy the crazy cheap food and massages! I got a couple massages while I was there.. 2 hours of massage time costs around $11. And a meal with a drink costs somewhere around $3. I do love me some good deals!

Anyway, here's another shade from the OPI NYC Ballet collection for you guys today! I've had my fair share of tutu wearing, so the name of this polish is special for me. Tutu's are actually very finicky, and can be quite difficult to place perfectly. Once the tutu is in the right place, you really don't want to touch it or move it in any way, or it really will look awkward when you're up on stage.


White is probably the colour that you imagine when you hear the word tutu, so it's only right that this particular shade is a white jelly. I had thought the white of the polish wouldn't quite show through like the other polishes I've swatched from the collection so far, but this one surprisingly brightens up the nails. It isn't chalky like most whites due to the jelly formula, and makes your nails look very clean and beautiful.


Application was a dream, and at three coats the polish levels itself out and the colour reminds me of soft, fluffy clouds. The colour wears very well for up to five days, especially when paired with Pirouette My Whistle!
