The Face Shop - BL607 Swatches

Hello! I just wanna share with you my very first nail polish from The Face Shop. I'm really excited to buy nail polish from them but I had to wait for a week. I found out that The Face Shop will be opening and so I waited patiently. 

When the store was finally opened, I went there immediately and bought one polish. Yup, just one. Some of my friends said that The Face Shop Polishes has a very foul smell. I don't like that but I really the colors. So I decided to buy one just to try if it's okay.

I spent 30 mins for picking this color.

I really like this color because it has red and purple glitters on it. It's not a plain navy blue color. It's so shimmery! Love, Love, Love!

Have you tried this product? 

Please let me know what you think about this nail color..

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.

I miss you! See you on Christmas!

Tiara Inspired Toe Nail Art

Nail that Art 

held a contest this month and I decided to join it. I never had any experience regarding nail art contest.

This was actually my very first time to join. 

I promised my friend Bianca that I'll join the contest. I really had a very busy schedule. I almost gave up joining the contest because I don't have that much time for myself. I was really stressed. I thought I won't be able to join. The design that I first chose was really complicated and was hard to do..

I slept late because of that design. The next morning Bianca announced that the submission of entries will be extended for 3 days. I was really happy to learn that but just like what I've said I was busy. The design that i first did wore off already.

That's why I ended up doing this..

This design was inspired by Ms Universe Beauty Pageant. I made a design that looks like a crown. 

I used gold micro beads for this design.

 

Yesterday I found out that they already chose the winners. 

Too bad for me because I lost.

:-(

I felt really bad about it but at least I tried my best. I really want to win but i guess it's not my time yet. I'm happy for the winners though.

I'm sad because I lost but I'm happy because I tried my best and I didn't gave up when I was about to.

Cutex Indie Glow

Cutex Indie Glow

OMG! I love this color. I really have a hard time dealing with the imported products' prices and availability.

I saw some OPI on Perfectly Polished but they sell it on a very high price. They sell it for 500 something. It is really beyond my budget. I also think that 500 pesos is too much for a bottle of polish. 

That's why I'm really happy to find this product. This is Cutex Nail with Keratin. This is a very old product and owned by Prestige Brand. I think Cutex was one of the popular nail polish before. 

It only cost 109.75 pesos hehe! 

I like it when the brand is very good in quality and the price is very reasonable. 

I'm not sure about the color because it changes depending on how the light strikes the polish. It's called Indie Glow and it's kinda like a mix of purple, grey and green..

More pics..

~o~o~o~

It's nice on toes too..

Ovarian Cancer Awareness

I saw a post regarding the Ovarian Cancer Awareness on http://www.midnightmanicures.com/. I felt bad because I thought I'm not gonna be able to support this. So I'm happy to know that I can still post my nails as a support to this  awareness..

:-)

I love the color.. It suites me very well. Hehe.

My teal toes looks lighter on this pic. Maybe because of the lights. 

~o~o~o~

Let's save lives. Now, it's your turn to pose a pic wearing teal nails as a support to this Ovarian Cancer Awareness.

Hahaha.. Sorry guys if I failed to take a picture when I was doing Glecy's nail. I had a hard time finishing the Nail Art because we were chatting with are friend, Sushee. Remember her? She did the Mermaid Eye's by Sushee.

We were laughing so hard that night. I even thought that I may not finish the nail art. 

Anyway, I made a tutorial using fake nails. This tutorial is for you, you and you! :))

Evergreen

I'm so much in love with the color GREEN. It's so cool in the eyes. Most of my stuff are color green. I'm lucky because the place where I live has plants and trees everywhere. Antipolo City is a group of hills. My house is on top of the hill. Our streets are like forest. There are lots of birds here. I love the butterflies too. Every morning I hear the birds chirping and I see the butterflies flying around the flowers in our garden.

This pic was taken at Cloud 9. It's near my house!!!

Anyway, I have a friend that shares the same interests with me. We have the same taste! Haha.. Her name is Glecy. Just like me, she loves the color green! 

I wasn't able to take a pic of the step by step procedure on how I achieved this nail art. Anyway, the pictures below are the finished look.

Isn't it pretty?

First Time!

Oh my gosh! I bought this fake nails and I haven't tried using it before. As I've told you on my past blog, I had a Chronic Onychophagia. It means, I bit my nails until it bleeds. 

Anyway, if I only knew about this fake nails before... i could have used it instead of going o the nail salon for acrylic nails that are so pricey. 

This is going to be my very first try on using fake nails. 

---

It took me the whole day of filing these just to fit my nails. It's really hard because most of them are bigger than my actual nails.  The only perfect size they have are the thumb nails. I don't have to file them anymore because it fits.

---

I used Violet Glam by San San. i encourage my countrymen to use our own product rather than using imported and pricey brand. Let's help our economy.

---

Ironically this is the nth time I tried using Konad. I've bee practicing because it's really hard for me to create designs using plates and stamp. 

---

I love how it turned out. :)

:-)

I hope you enjoyed it.
