Pink hearts

I'm writing something for you. :)

Days flew by so quickly, it's now February! Happy LOVE month. On my nails are Sinful colors' Tahiti Breeze (301) and Revlon's Tulip for the little hearts. 

Have a great weekend. 

Midnight Sky Nails

Happy friday! 

Meet the lovely couple, Nicole by O.P.I's Wavy Navy and Revlon's Blue Mosaic. :D

I've worn them both alone. Loved the Wavy Navy, I have a blog post featuring this baby too, but on the other hand, I have a mix feeling about the Blue Mosaic when I wore it. Let me describe it first, it is a clear base polish with small blue glitters mixed with bigger glitters in silver and almost like a blue green color. So when I had it, I put layers and layers of it to have a full on glittery nail polish which I am not sure if I am a fan of. It's great looking but, at the same time, too bold for me. Plus, if you're a nail polish junky, I'm pretty sure you'll know how hard it is to remove glitter nail polish, especially what I did, lol! Of course there are tons of tutorials on Youtube on how to easily remove them, you might wanna check them out if you have the same problem I had. 

This is about 2 thin coats of the "Wavy Navy" and a light swipe of the "Blue Mosaic" on top. 

I suggest using a nail base coat especially if you're dealing with dark polishes to save you from the stains it might give you. I also put a thin coat of it (mine here is Revlon's Multi care base and top coat - love it) to smooth the glitter feel. 

How's it going? I've been totally loving my nail combo, it reminds me of a peaceful night with lots of stars. Thank you for reading and please let me know what you think. 

Happy New Year!

Hello! Happy new year!!!!

Another year, another fresh start. 

How are you doing?  

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday like I did. I celebrated my birthday, Christmas and New year with my loved ones. Now, it's time to go back to work and "back to reality". 

I wanna share what nail polish I've been loving this week. I might still be in holiday mood that's why I find myself so in love with this. 

This is Revlon's Copperglaze Platinum (just in case the picture is too small). Immediately after Missglamorazzi from YouTube said this is a "beautiful rosegold colour", I know I will buy and have this one for myself. I like how this makes my fingers look so clean and elegant. 

I don't know why this looks festive to me, maybe because of the shiny finish. LOL! I didn't put top coat, yet it still looks so shiny. I have two coats and I'm done. I'm impress because based on my experience, polishes that are on the "nude" side tends to need at least 3 coats before I can get the colour 

I want. Yay for that. 

As always, thank you for spending time reading my blog and hope we all have a wonderful day. 

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. 

Nail polish of the week

With all the busy schedules, I literally just painted my nails once a week which normally would be on a saturday night. I don't have the same luxury of time I had before that i can switch my nail polish every two or three days. Haha! But that isn't big of a deal for me, I kinda like it, I was able to enjoy my painted nails more now. I can test out it's lasting power too. 

Having said that, here's my nail polish for the past week.

It is Revlon's "Iced Mauve". A very pretty old rose colour. With just a base (Seche Base), it took 4 days before I notice big chipping, so not bad considering the things it went through with my busy hands at work. :)

And before I say good night, here are some beautiful pictures of my everyday sunrise and sunsets. 

I really love the colours on this last picture, it just is so beautiful and a really good way to end a tiring day. 

I hope you all have a great weekend and a wonderful week ahead. 

Perfect Coral

I've been into corals lately, with clothes, blush and nail polish. I notice this especially when I finally organized my nail polish collection. This particular shade, though, is probably my favourite. It is just my perfect shade of coral. I actually don't want to remove it, haha!

I don't think this has a name, they only have one shade of coral so that might be the reason. 

Application is a little streaky, making it hard to apply, it's creamy and mold nicely on nails once it's dry. 

This is how it looks like outside. I didn't put top coat, by the way. It's the first time I wear nail polish from this brand, I wanna test how well it will last without any help from the top coat.

This is fourth day, it chipped a little on my ring finger nail but the rest stayed pretty strong till day seven. I don't wanna remove it but my nails need some cleaning and a little break from polish. :)

What is your favourite nail polish colour? 

Polka dotted nails

I love the combination of pink and black. 

The pink base is Revlon's "Tulip" and I used a ball pen to create dots of the Sally Hansen's "Black out". I decided to align the dots for a neater look because I have them in all my fingers. 

Let me know what you think. :)

Tulip tango

From Maybelline's Spring collection "Tulip tango". They actually have 3 more colors, based on what I saw in the store, but I only picked this on up to try. It's the perfect coral for me. The application is a little bit of a disappointment, it was hard to get an even application. It took 3 coats to even it out. The 3rd coat had to be thicker as well. But the color is just so gorgeous! Also, it dries pretty fast and I liked the brush.

Have you tried any of their spring colors?

Your not so ordinary French Nails

While I was doing this, I was trying to come up with a good title, then yes, I did not came up with anything better than this (ha ha) so please forgive my very creative title thinking mind. 

While I was picking up these nail polishes in my box, my mother was like "how in the world would you need all of those nail polishes all at once?". And the reason is this

So that is where the "french tip" came from. 

From left: Revlon (915) in Creme Brulee (used as base), Nicole by OPI in Change the world, Sally hansen (360) in Mellow Yellow, L'oreal (105) in Club prive, Nicole by OPI in Play fair, and Revlon mini in Butterfly 

I have this little obsession of taking a picture of the name of the polish in the bottle itself and I hope you'll be able to see it. :)

Personally, I think French tip is timeless and very elegant. I used to always go for that and love how I get compliment each time. Now, this colorful approach screams spring to me.  

I'm hoping to make your day a little colorful. Have a great day!

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*
