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!

Few days have passed since the horror of typhoon Yolanda, everyone is slowly regaining the strength in order to rebuild whatever the storm has destroyed. So, I guess this is the best time to post a happy green polish to give some happy vibes to our grieving nation.. green is the color of hope after all. This design reminds me of mint and pepper. What do you think? That would be all for now... short, happy... and yes, hopeful... =)

I am not so much of a patriotic kind but the recent devastation caused by Typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan led me to care about my country, the Philippines. We weren't directly hit by the storm surge since we are living far from Tacloban City but I felt really involved in this massive tragedy. Days before Yolanda came, different warnings were announced regarding the typhoon. We were told to keep safe. I also remembered listening to different guidelines on how to survive the typhoon. November 8 came, it was a Friday. I've read from social media sites that Yolanda officially entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility. There were heavy rains here in Manila but it wasn't too strong to kill a person but I've seen some "personal" videos posted on the Internet on how strong the typhoon was in other parts of the country. I got scared. The next morning, weather in Manila was perfect. It was windy and sunny at the same time. I remembered staying in our terrace and ...

My heart is breaking right now that no amount of manicure can ever heal. I thought of creating a nail of the day post (since this is what this blog is all about) but then it pains to see my countrymen face tragedy after tragedy that I feel a need to set aside a polish post and to really share what I feel and see around me. As of this writing, my lovely country, the Philippines, is under national calamity because part of the Philippines suffered from the super typhoon Haiyan. Prior to the typhoon, the country also bear magnitude 7 earthquake, heartbreaking terrorism in Zamboanga, and the additional issue of pork barrel scam. Millions have suffered and we Filipinos have suffered enough. There is no room for laughter. Any amount of fun is a sign of insensitivity. It is not easy to watch the news without crying because you see your country being whipped from head to toe and you feel so bruised and battered. Amid all these things, I see greatness here and there. Different fund raising p...

I have a story to tell about The Face Shop BL601 nail polish   from their Lovely Me Ex Nail Polish Line. While we were at The Face Shop SM North branch, I asked Marvellous Man to choose a nail polish color for me. Being a guy, he chose a dark navy blue nail polish. I tested the color on his fingernail. I wasn’t into blue nail polish at that time so I didn’t buy it (I bought  The Face Shop RD 303 3 instead). But then, I keep on thinking of that beautiful blue nail polish and I told myself I must definitely go back and buy it. The Face Shop BL601 in all its glory... So, after a month or so, Marvellous Man and I went back to The Face Shop store. I again tested the color of BL601 on his fingernail just to see the color once again. By this time, I fell in love. I took one bottle and went straight ahead to the counter to finally own this lovely polish. Then, after two days, I went to Marvellous Man’s place, and he was doing his laundry. (Yes, men do th...

This might come as a shock but I am a former nail biter. It is pretty ironic that this girl who loves to blog about nails is a former nail biter. Funny right?  Basically, I just realized that the cause of my disgusting habit is my addiction to my nails. So, instead of pricking on my nails, why not turn it into something positive and make my nails pretty instead? So, as I dove into colorful world of nail arts, and since I've just started to become a nail blogger, I am also slowly opening myself up to some manicure paraphernalia.  Nail Stickers, I like it subtle and classy 1. Nail Stickers. I am not a fan of nail stickers. I bought this one because I just want to try it out and if maybe I will like it. This one stood out because it looks subtle and I felt it would look great on top of a white nail polish. I actually tried it once and I must say it is okay but I am still not so obsessed with it.  --- Flocking Powder, husband of glitters, acco...

I was looking at old photos in my computer and I saw these cute pictures of EOS Lipbalm and I remembered how much I love this product but I shelved it for various reasons. EOS and I had some good times, you know. I enjoyed the days when kissing it feels fruity on my lips. But then, I have slowly fallen out of love from it. It wasn't because it was a horrible product but because it didn't last on me and I think there’s so many lip balms out there that offers better service than just cute packaging and fruity taste.  Let me give you the details of our love story. This product became popular last year because of its cute packaging. So many beauty gurus raved about it but lately, it has been categorized under overrated product list. (Source) It got me into thinking if EOS lip balm is really an overrated product. Why did I shelved this product anyway? I remembered it was a year ago when I got my EOS lip balm in strawberry sorbet. Believe you me, I was so freaki...
