Spring colors (candle & polish)



Yesterday I visited a dutch store called 'Hema', and I indulged in some of their things. Guilty as charged! But since I recently started my new job, I wanted something to make my room a bit more cozy and a scented candle is always a good item to have for that! I tried the smaller version of the 'Jasmine, freesia, pear' scented candle because I couldn't really smell it well in the store and I admit, I was attracted to it because of the spring color and the design on the glass. I'm a sucker for those things. But, also, the combination of the scents really intrigued me. 
So I've burned the candle a bit and I absolutely know now that I'll get the bigger version as soon as this one is done. The fragrant is so nice! Not at all overwhelming (though that should've been clear since the unlit candle doesn't really smell that much), but enough that when you leave and re-enter the room, you can smell it clearly! 
Next to the candle, I also bought a set of nail polishes, of which 1 is almost the exact same color as the candle! So I figured to combine these 2, since it's a springy color and I just liked the way it photographed. 
The polish is not as high of a quality, but then again it was just below 3 euro's. The polish is thick and gel-like, which for my nails is not very handy, because that makes it so easy for me to pull off... But the color is very pretty and you just need 3 layers to get a nice coverage, as I have in the above photograph (excuse me for not having model hands or nails, I wish I did). It doesn't dry fast, even with a fast drying topcoat, I still have to be very careful with my nails. But hey, I like the color and I did not have to spend that much on it so I can't complain :) 

I just love that winter has pretty much passed and the days are getting longer. Summer can not come by fast enough!
