Nail of the Week #2


Ever since I bought a nail polish from New York Color (NYC), I've been meaning to buy another one, their taupe-y color polish because I just love how simple yet sophisticated it looks on nails. 

So fast track, few months later, here it is, my nails enjoying this beautiful color.






NYC in Park Avenue


Along side, I bought and been trying out this new base / top coat for Revlon. 





Last weekend, we put up our Christmas tree. I'm very excited for the holiday. This definitely is my favorite holiday.

Flower Inspired nails

I rarely do nail arts but I love flowers so much that I have to do one that is inspired by the flower I received last week. So this is the inspiration



I just fell in love with the colors.



I first applied 3 coats of this Sally Hansen nail polish in Mellow Yellow. Okay, so this is my second try on yellow nail polish because I the first one that I tried, also from Sally Hansen, didn't work out well with my complexion. It somehow made my hands look like I'm sick,which is not something you would want, right? I have to admit I was a little skeptical with this color as well, thinking it'll have the same effect but I saw Missglamorazzi's YT spring nail polish faves and she included this, so I picked it up. What do you think? 
This is also my first on this line "Xtreme Wear" and I find it a little hard to work with, I don't know if it's just the color but I actually had to put a thicker coat to be able to get a good application. I like how bright it is though. 

After letting it completely dry, I dab NYC nail polish in Wall Street with a makeup sponge at the tip and kind of extend the color down on the side.



I hope you can see the design here.



These are all the nail polish and the makeup sponge that I used. I hope this was interesting. Stay safe everybody. 

Also, I noticed that I have few new followers and I wanted to thank you all for following and sharing your time with me. Let me know what you think about this creation and if there's any question you have, let me know as well.

NYC's Wall Street

Few years ago, I had a not-so-good experience with New York Color's (NYC) nail polish. I was just starting up with nail polish back then and not to mention I don't have enough money to spend on more expensive ones because I was still in school. I remember being turned off by it because it didn't last on my nails, like few hours after I applied it, it'll peel right off. 

I saw a youtube guru who featured NYC in her spring nail polish faves and when I was at the drugstore last week, I thought I should give it another try. I fell in love with this color.  


Just the right baby pink that I've been wanting to have. 

Here's how it looks on my nails


This is actually the third day that I have this on, so I'm very happy with that. The consistency is not bad.  While this is their "Minute quick dry" line I don't think it's a fast drying nail polish, but with the price, I really don't mind waiting a lil bit for it to dry. :)


I'm tempted to go back and buy the brown polish that I saw when I got this, so be prepared to see more from this brand.



This one is with a natural lighting. 

I hope this has inspired us all to try out these not-so-expensive-but-worth-trying-out products. Have a great week and again, thank you for your time. *hugs*
