Green Flakes


I'm super exhausted..
I'm not done packing yet and I still have to take down all the curtains and wash it. :(

These are the remaining polish displayed on my cabinet..

...because some of them are packed already..

I really can't live without a nail polish on my fingers. So I painted mine using the remaining polish I mentioned earlier. I told you before that GREEN is my favorite color that's why I'm happy with my current manicure. Hehe. Very simple but really makes me happy. :)

Swatches:


Do you like the color green too? Why or why not?

Baby Shower Nails By Request


Hello goddesses!
This is a quick post for my friend, Zhai. She requested this nail art for her Baby Shower. I asked my friends from  NailNation fun and Polish Talk if they could give me ideas about this nail art. I've never done any nail art for a certain family celebration lolz!

Anyway, some girls said that I should draw a feeding bottle, a stork, diapers so on and so forth. I love their idea, really... BUT, I think it will look to much cartoony. It might also take away the attention of the guest from the baby. So, I went for Irene Jung's (of colorsmitten) idea. She said I should use pastel colors.

I originally pick 3 colors but I'm going to post about it next  time.

Anyway, I want this nail art to be appropriate in both gender. I know that the mother will wear this but it should have something to do with her baby's gender, right? So I chose the shades of GREEN. This color is versatile that's why I love it. There was a year that this color became the new pink. It was in!


These are the products I used for this Nail Art:
LA Colors Art Deco (Silver), 24k (Snow White), San San ( Emerald Green, Sea Green)
                                                                                  

If you don't like green, here's another color.

 I also used the image plate above too.

I hope you'll like it.

Please let me now what you think by leaving a comment.
Thank you!

Cutex Catwalk Style


Hello goddesses! 
This is just a quick post regarding my new nail polish that I bought 4 weeks ago but I just opened it awhile ago. he he!

Cutex Catwalk Style
To all of you who knows or have used this product, you might know that the packaging is not like this anymore but I like this one better that the new one. So I went to the mall that still sell Cutex with this packaging.
I don't know to others but this is more of an eye candy to me.


It only costs Php 109.75 or ($ 2.53)


I love its color. It's so sassy! You can actually wear it as it is. No need for nail art to look fabulous. This color is very attractive. What I also like about this product is that it dries quickly. You don't have to worry that it might chip and ruin. 

Look at how it looks like outdoors. It's really soft and sweet. Of course, shiny. I like so much and I really enjoyed applying it. I like how the granules of glitters sliding towards the surface of my nails. It's AWESOME!

This is how it looks like indoors. It still looks cute. You can wear this if you have a formal meeting with a business partner. Pretty girls doesn't like anything that would destruct their faces.. So this is for pretty girls out there!

A closer look..

I hope you like this post.

Please let me know what you think.

Revlon Red




There are lots of women who loves RED. My mom is obsessed with this color too. She won't go out of the house without her luscious red lips. At first, I thought that RED was a very shocking color. It was too much for me.


When I got older, I started to like the color red. Based on what I read and watched, men are attracted to a woman that wears this color.


These are the Revlon products that my hubby bought for me:


Revlon Red Nail Polish (680)



This nail polish costs Php 225.00 or $ 5.14, yeah very pricey for a nail polish but never mind. As long as I'm happy!

It really has a nice deep red that suits any skin tone. Oh, I just love my nails! It's so fabulous!


Revlon Red Lipstick




I had a hard time looking for this product. As you can see, it costs Php 450.00 ($ 10.27). There are lot of shade and I couldn't find the right one for me. There are different shades of red that are suitable in different skin tones.

According to Michelle Phan warm red matches better on warm undertone and cool red matches better on cool undertone. How will you know if you have cool or warm undertone? Simple, you just have to do the wrist method. You have to be outdoors to test this. If the veins on your wrist are blue, you have a cooler undertone and if it's olive, you have a warmer undertone.



I have a warmer undertone so I used the red that has more orange undertone on it. This color will complement my skin and will give me a radiant glow, just like what Michelle told.

This post is dedicated to my beautiful mommy.
I miss you! See you on Christmas!

Idol Nail Art


Hello godesses!
K-pop, J-pop, P-pop and other singing groups are very popular in our generation. They are called "idols". Their popular style started here in Asia. They have these outrageous outfits, glamorous hairstyle and of course cute nails!



What I like about idols are, they have different personalities yet they complement each others. Just like colors! That's the reason why nail artists like me designs a nail art inspired by these idols.

Anyway, let's look at the design one by one..

Thumb
I used San San's Sea Green, Etude House's Petite Nails Hot Pink and a Gold striper. I painted it vertically. I was surprise to see that the colors look good together. A drew a white heart and applied a silver glitter polish all over the heart. To finished it up, I put pink nail sequins to outline the heart's shape.

Index
This is my fave design. I made this accidentally haha. Anyway, I just applied it zigzag. i don't now hot to put it in words. Sorry. I just love it!

Middle
I applied gold nail polish all over the nail. This is very simple too but it looks fab because of the colors. I just put dots randomly..

Ring
I applied a Pearl White as a background. I drew half a star using a pink nail polish and then I outlines it with gold striper. I used Sea Green nail polish for the designs on the sides and outlined it too with gold striper.

Pinky
Pearl White for the background. I tried to make a cheetah pattern but it kinda failed. It sucks! I just put a fimo and 3 rhinestones to jazz it up a little bit.

Ta-da!


Sorry guys that it took me like days just to update my blog. Huhu!
I was busy and it became impossible for me to upload pix because someone broke my USB connector. GRRRRRRR!
