Nail of the Day: Glittery Sunday!

Hello Ladies! I have another NOTD for you. Last week, I bought some glitters from National Bookstore with the intention of using them on my nails. I saw videos in youtube about glitters nails and that made me want to try this NOTD. 

Here are the products that I used:

From Left to Right: Caronia Base Coat, Caronia Top Coat, Bobbie in Star Gazer and Bobbie in Flower Girl

Glitters combination of Red and Black for Php 9.75

For the glitter nails, first thing you have to do is to apply the base coat on your nail. Then, without waiting for base coat to dry, dip it on the glitters. Make sure you're able to cover the entire nail. Afterwards, tap off any excess and wait for a minute or two before applying the top coat.

I also want to thank Charles of Wickermoss for giving me this very beautiful nail polish- Bobbie in Star Gazer. She actually gave me several other things but I wasn't able to post them all. A big thank you to Charles! *hugs* She's very sweet and thoughtful.

That's it Pansit!!!

Nail of the Day: BNC 335 X OMG Cracked Nail Polish in Limestone

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I was supposed to post this three weeks ago but I had a busy schedule so I wasn't able to update as often as I wanted to. Nevertheless thank you to those who kept visiting my blog! 

Here's a simple NOTD. :P

BTW, Thank you to Locke who sent me super awesome NAIL POLISHES! I was surprised cause I only won one item but she included several other things in the package. A BIG thank you, Locke! Love ya, sis! I can't wait to try them all. ^__^

I bought OMG POlishes @Great Finds (Above Parco, Greenland)

Unlike the Etude House crackling nail polish, this works well on regular nail polishes. It doesn't smudge the base nail polish. At the same time, it cracks thinly so it looks better with lighter base nail colors.

Locke sent me a bunch of nail polishes which includes BNC 335. I think BNC cost at around Php 100. It's a Korean nail polish. :) On the other hand, OMG is a local brand nail polish! It's a lot cheaper than the Etude House crackling nail polish hence, this is a great alternative to those who want to try crackling nail polish. 

BTW, You can check out my review on Etude House Crackling nail polish here. 

And since OMG nail polishes are very affordable, I bought a few shades. I also bought something from Klik. You can also buy these at Landmark, Trinoma. 

Have a great day! :)

Nail of the Day: Etude House's BR307 and PP904

Another Sem, another NOTD! :P

I went for a neutral look so I decided to use a nude shade from Etude House Nail Polish. Then to add a twist, I applied a darker nail polish on my fourth finger.

Etude House BR207 and PP904

Products I used: 

From Left to Right: ABB Nail Lacquer, Tony Moly TC02, Etude House PP904, Etude House BR307

Etude House BR307, PP904

 Have a great day, everyone! :)

Nail of the Day: San San's Sea Green

Last Saturday, Nani and I went to SM Fairview to watch Three Musketeers. And while waiting for the movie, we decided to window shop. Then I saw HBC and I was surprised to see that they have a lot of nail polishes. 

Some of the colors are the typical ones that you see on other local brands. But I saw this one shade that is unique so I thought of giving San San Nail polishes a try. San San Nail Polishes are very affordable for a price of Php37 each. The packaging is very simple; I kind of like the blue cap with a silver lining and the glass bottle looks very chic. 

I grabbed a beautiful nail polish shade- SEA GREEN. It's a good looking green pastel color. I thought of getting a pale blue nail polish as well but I remember that I won two nail polishes from MissKatv's giveaway in which I chose two gorgeous blue shades. Anyhow, I tried it out right away and fell in love with it. 

San San's Sea Green: Just One Coat

The consistency of the nail polish was just right- not too thick or too thin. You could already appreciate the color payoff with just one coat.  

Here are some swatches: 

Have you tried San San Nail Polishes? 

What shade/s do you like?

Feel free to comment below. :)

Have a great day, everybody!

Nail of the Day: Caronia On the Go

Last week, I was able to drop by SM Cubao and buy my first pair of Caronia nail polishes. The Watsons section has the complete Summer Bliss collection but I only bought two. I've never tried any yellow nail polish and, at the same time, I heard many good reviews about Caronia On the Go so I decided to buy the yellow and green shade.

Caronia Sweet Surprise and On the Go

To be honest, I was expecting more of this product because Caronia is one of the leading local brands for Nail Care and Polishes. The formula of the product is quite thick that I find it hard to apply them on my nails. The only advantage for a thick formula was that it gives a very rich color with one coat. However, it is difficult to apply evenly. Nevertheless, Caronia came up with interesting colors. I love Caronia On the Go and that is what I wore today. 

Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend!

Have a wonderful day!

Nail of the Day: Chic Ash

Chic Php 31

I love nail polishes that has a tone of gray.

This is from Chic in shade ASH. It kinda looks like light brown but it's darker in real life. I was browsing at Puregold Banaba one time and I saw this shade. Intially, I wanted to try OPI's You don't know Jacques but I find it too expensive. I tend to wear different nail polishes so I don't like to invest in luxurious nail brands.This shade is not really a dupe for You don't Know Jacques but I can somehow see the similarities of them being greyish and brownish. I'm just happy I was able to get this last shade on the rack. ^__^ 

Have a nice Sunday everyone!

September Haul, NOTD and updates.

Hi guys!  I'm quite busy with work but I haven't forgotten this blog. ^__^ I've bought a number of new items this month and I want to share them all to you. :)

WARNING PIC HEAVY!!!

Ellana Products: 

I met up with Abie @ Gateway to get the items I've ordered. She's a reseller of Ellana Products so if you're interested kindly visit her blogspot.

DOLL UP INC

I bought a Lip/Cheek tint in Ruby (Php 180) and a Hair Gloss Spray (Php 140).

I like the tint because it doesn't have that bitter taste and I don't have to put a lot to achieve the color that I want. In fact, just pump a small amount on your finger tips and you can already stain your lips with this lovely reddish shade and dab the remaining on the apples of your cheeks. I don't think I'll repurchase it anytime soon since this will take ages for me to finish. ^__^ 

 I don't really like the hair spray because it doesn't tame my frizzy hair but that can be a hair-to-hair basis. My hair is too think acd unruly for the product to work. :P But it's worth a try. I might give this to my mom since she wants a hair gloss.

Next product is French Vanilla Latte Mineral Foundation in Perfect Blend. I use this to set my liquid foundation and what I like the most about this product is its staying power. I apply this using my kabuki brush and coverage is fine although it won't really hide your blemishes. You can use any concealer that works best for you... or you can try Ellana Mineral concealer. For a mineral product, this foundation works perfectly well.  

Last product for my Ellana Haul is Mineral Bronzer in Light Roast. The shade of this bronzer really looks lovely on my my skin however I have difficulty of applying it. It's difficult to contour since the color doesn't blend completely well. It's hard to "smudge".. if you know what I mean. Even if I use my fingers to evenly distribute the color on my skin, it's going to leave a "stain" which I don't really like. I prefer e.l.f bronzing powder which blends on the skin smoothly. But I'm not giving up on this product. There can be better ways of applying this so this is still a keeper. ^__^

VOV Cover Foundation:

I bought this VOV Cover Foundation in Pink Beige for Php 180 which is a steal. I found an ebay seller and at first I thought, this can be fake. But when she told me about her supplier and all other details, I'm convinced it won't hurt to buy this. This didn't "wow" me than what I've expected. I went desperate to have this product because I've read some reviews that it can make your skin look flawless. I've tried it a number of times but I know liquid foundations which can do better... I don't know. Maybe I'll give it another shot. I thought of buying Graftobian Cream Foundation Palette but I'm still on a tight budget. That can wait for another month or so. ^__^

Skin Care:

         Nani and I went to SM Fairview last week and these are what I bought.

I only bought this High Waist Shorts for Php 200.

Have you heard of the DEAD SEA? Genesis products' ingredients are from the Dead Sea which is known for its high salt content. I discovered the brand GENESIS and I really think its products are amazing. I bought the Genesis Mud Soap for Php 850. The products are quite pricey but I am absolutely blown away by the SA. She's good. Her persuasion made me go back to their stall twice. It took time for me to decide whether I'm gonna buy this or not. -_-

KITSHOP ITEMS: 

Visit Maree's ONLINE SHOP. 

Yey! Her package has arrived. I was so excited to unwrap it.
