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. 

Recent buys: April 28, 2012

Time for some goodies I bought and enjoying. It's a combination of different things from nails to makeup to accessory. These are the things I bought since my last post.

Let's start with the makeup and a skincare, shall we?

I was planning to buy the Clinique All about eyes concealer because I heard good feedbacks on those, but when I got to the store, the MUA talk me into buying the Biotherm eye cream because according to her, my main issue is not dark circles but dehydration of the skin under my skin. Needless to say I gave in, even though I didn't plan on spending money on another eye cream, I still have my Olay one, but yeah I still bought it. I've been using it for few weeks now, I haven't seen any major improvement yet but hopefully it'll make some difference for my under eye area. Those late nights and lack of sleep is taking its toll on me that's why I'm into eye products lately and of course trying to be good at sleeping early and taking care of my skin. 

She also picked up the CoverGirl concealer instead of the clinique one. I didn't really liked the CG so yesterday, I picked up the Maybelline Age rewind under eye concealer. Also, I'm excited try out this L'oreal True match foundation. I love the powder version of this that's why I thought I could give this a try.

Hot Tamale and Peach Satin

Finally got myself the Maybelline's Dream bouncy blush. In the store, I got to try the Hot tamale but I also loved the Peach Satin. 

On to the nails, two of these already made their appearance in my latest nail post, haha!

Orgnx Moringa Oil Complex. This is suppose to revive dry damaged hair. I use this every time after I wash my hair and I love how it makes my hair shiny without feeling greasy. 

Lastly, an Aldo watch. I'm not a big watch person but every time I see rose gold watch I can't help myself but want one. So, until I can decide on whether I should buy the Michael Kors watch, I'm pretty happy with my Aldo one. 

Any fave buys you want to share? Feel free to share it here. Thank you for your time and until next time. :) Have a great WEEKEND.

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!

Wavy Navy

Another nail polish post. The star for this week is Nicole by O.P.I's Wavy navy. The name says it all, it's a beautiful navy colour. The pink is just a little experiment I did with my Revlon pink nail polish and a straw.

Touch of Gold

Just a little update on yesterday's post. I added Nicole by OPI's "Shell me the truth".

This nail polish is very lovely on its own, with 3 coats you'll have a light pink with gold shimmer and when out in the sun there is a hint of blue tint, (I might wear this next alone) but I thought the gold shimmers on it would make my existing polish more interesting. I actually stippled the product in my nails, just experimenting. 

Have a good rest of the week my friends.

How are you my friends?

I'm feeling a little sad these past few days, I hope everybody is well. I saw this OPI nail polish the other day in the sales basket of my local drugstore (you can still see the orange tag, ha ha!) and I decided to paint my nails with it to make me feel a little better. It's bright and fun, I love it.
