Inspired by Zooey's Orange Nails: THE FACE SHOP LOVELY ME: EX PAINT NAILS in RD303

Hey, Marvellous!
Today, I’m gonna be sharing with you this nail polish coined as THE FACE SHOP LOVELY ME: EX PAINT NAILS in RD303. (That's mouthful!)

The inspiration for this polish is the reddish-orange nail polish worn by Zooey Deschanel in the episode 19 of her sitcom New Girl Season 2. I keep looking at her reddish-orange nails while watching the show so I said to myself I must get me an orange-red nail polish.

It looks a bit like bloody red nails in this snapshot, but it is more of deeper orange in the entire show.

I know, I know, nail polish again. Well, I am definitely at nail polish phase, wherein painting nails is therapeutic and inhaling nail polish fume is nothing but smelling scent of aroma. I just love nail polishes, obsessed even.

You see, I hate seeing chips and cracks on my nail polish. So, every time I would see a little chip, I would erase the polish on that particular fingernail and repeat the whole process from base coat to nail polish to top coat.

That is why I am always on the hunt for a good nail polish that has a lasting power so I won't waste all my time and effort in painting my nails.

However, I am also a bit stingy when it comes to nail polish because I know that nail polish is not a basic commodity to spend too much money on.

That is why I love The Face Shop Nail Polishes because it is an affordable nail polish that can last on my nails for days. RD 303 stayed on my nails for days.

This is a morning shot. It is coming out a bit like a carrot orange in this photo but it is deeper in person.

THE FACE SHOP LOVELY ME: EX PAINT NAILS in RD303 is your perfect deep orange nail polish leaning on the red side, thus the name RD, which is short for RED. Some oranges may look tacky on my tan skin but not this one. The color is just adorable.

It has a bit of neon depending on where the lights hit your fingernails. It holds a little shine but a good top coat will make it shinier.

Bedazzled for a night shot!

Application is a breeze, not streaky at all. Its medium-sized brush is soft enough to effectively distribute the product on my nails. You can get away with one coat on this nail polish but it is more opaque if you use two coats.

I am quite surprised of how much I like the new bottle. I was never a fan of it when I first saw the change. I am quite a fanatic of their former bottle, which has a beautiful leaf design in the cap, plus a huge “The Face Shop” Logo written all over it. The new bottle seems so simple and ordinary. But then, I saw the practicality applied on their new bottle. The new cap provides a good grip to the handle, making it easier to apply the product on the nails. Their logo “THE FACE SHOP” is now engraved to the cap as opposed to their former bottle on which the name was just printed on the bottle. This ensures that the logo will not fade whatsoever even if you have the bottle for the longest time possible. I still love to see their old bottles but this new one is just as adorable.

This particular polish cost me P100 which is a bit pricey compared to local brands here in the Philippines. But then, this is a good brand that stays on your nails for days so I think it’s worth it.

The only thing I hate about this product is the fact that it stains my nails horribly. This is probably because of the orange tint that it has. It kind of stays on my nails even after removing the polish with a good nail polish remover.

Well, that’s it –my little babbling about this lovely nail polish. Thanks Zooey for inspiring me.
Till my next polish story!

Chow!

Revlon Color Lustrous Lip Gloss in Gold Frost

Ever since I started working, I have been wearing lipsticks all the time and neglecting the joys a lipgloss can do. I don't know if it's the age or maybe I have worn a lot of gloss when I was on my teens that I feel lipstick is for my twenties. But, when I saw Revlon Color Lustrous lipgloss, I cant help but fall in love once again with lip glosses. Why do I love this gloss? Let me count the ways.. 1. The shade is a beautiful golden nude that has a bit of shimmer, not glitters, that creates a lovely shine to the lips. 2. It glides on smoothly and is not sticky to wear. 3. Opacity is just right, not too opaque, not too sheer. I got this on sale so the price is way lower than usual, I got this for only P200 (such a steal right?)\The sales assistant told me that Revlon booths placed in the middle of the malls have more sale items compared to counters located inside the department stores. So, if you are looki...

AT LEAST I CAN STILL SEE: Living Life through Amblyopia

All my life, people thought I am just banlag (squint) or someone who has a scar on her right eye. What some people do not know exactly is that I am almost blind. After thousands of eye tests to different ophthalmologists and optometrists, mine is a rare condition called Amblyopia (also known as lazy eye) coupled with color-blindness. Let us first start with my right eye. If you will look closely into my cornea, it has this white scar that originated by birth. If I will only use my right eye and let my left eye be closed, I will see everything in blur. Because of an inborn scar, there is a small white cast blocking my right eye, I cannot see the details of an image. I only see a vision, a blur, a shape. For example, if there is a calendar in front of me, looking only through my right eye, I would only see a white rectangle with dots and some lines. Imagine watching TV with white sheer cloth in front of your eyes-- that's the perspective of my right eye. God must have pi...

My Birthday Shenanigans : ABS-CBN Tour and ASAP Live

August is my birthday month so instead of doing my usual "Pieces of My Month" series, I decided to make it more special by doing series of posts called "My Birthday Shenanigans." I know that this has been an overdue post as we are already running through "BER" months, but as I have said before, it is better to post late than never. Anyways, one of the major things I did during my birthday was to take a tour around ABS-CBN studio. ABS-CBN is the largest broadcasting network in the Philippines as far as I know. So, if you are living in the Philippines, there is no way you do not know what ABS-CBN is. It has produced tons of television shows, entertainers, artists, broadcasters, movies, etc. My brother and my sister-in-law (who was also celebrating her birthday that day) were kind enough to invite me to join them in seeing the "behind the scenes" of TV production.

NOTD: Bride and Bridesmaids

This post will be photo heavy so beware. Anyways, been wanting to try out some nail stickers but I am not really sure why I haven't had the chance to actually buy and put them on my nails. However, a visit to a craft store led me to find these cute flowers so I thought of giving these stickers a try. I like them actually. What do you think? These nails remind me of my brother's wedding which I actually attended as the maid of honor... I am the girl next to the bride... and as the wedding singer as well... Me and my Marvellous Man So, here's my nails again for your viewing pleasure. That's all for now. I promise to tell you more next time. Bye!

My PIERCINGS- Accidents, Stories, Reasons.. etc.

Elow elow elow Dear Reader! So, today, I bought new set of earrings and I realized, I haven't really talked about my piercing experience. So, I thought maybe I should answer some common questions about my piercings and piercing in general. How many piercings do you have? As of the moment, I have a total of six individual piercings. Three on the left ear, three on the right. When did you get them and why? 1. The first pair was done when I was four or five years old. I remember my father bringing me to a little health center and telling me to just tilt my head and that was it. I don't have much to say about this piercing because it was like a "default" kind of thing - sort of a tradition or one of those mandatory things a girl has to go through- so nothing special in this pair. Also, I was too young to remember how it felt like. Too young to even comprehend. But I remember being happy having the privilege to wear such pretty gold earrings. I had the rest ...
