Nail of the Week: Purple Glam!

Happy Thursday every one!

I am supposed to be taking a nap now, but I just can't wait for my video to be uploaded in Youtube. So, while waiting for it to upload, let me share with you my nail of the week... ^__^

If you can remember, the last NOTW that I posted had been a couple of months ago, if you wanna see it, check this link out! ^__~

Last Friday, I got all excited for my Chroma Straight Makeover courtesy of L'oreal Academie. I couldn't sleep so I decided to paint my nails instead. The excitement kept me awake, which was good for two things:

1. I could do my nails, and;

2. I could look over the feverish hubby... =)

Earlier in the day, I have been thinking of what to do with my nails. I was undecided if I would do a polka dot s nail art, a water marble nail art, or just paint my nails. Before my classes, I tried to experiment with water marbling. However, I think the consistency of my nail polishes ain't good for water marbling. Or maybe, I was in a hurry and got impatient. Teehee... =D

I got loads of classes on Fridays (so much for working hard before the weekend!) and I wasn't able to do my nails in between my classes. I ended painting my nails at bedtime. =D

Like what I said earlier, it was a good thing that I didn't get sleepy right after my classes...

And this was what I did:

Step 1: Clean, file and buff nails. =)

Step 2: Apply base coat. I used The Face Shop Nail Polish in PP405. 

 Step 3 and 4: Apply a layer or two of San San Nail Polish in Purple Glam. Then top off with a clear nail polish. =)

Oh, and by the way, don't forget to clean up the sides! ^__~

So quick and easy, right? ^__^

Yam-y! XD

I am so in love with my current nail polish that I want to wear it again next week... =D

What about you? What nail polish are you wearing now? ^__^

P.S: A hair tutorial is coming right up! ^__^

Nail of the Week: Purple Gradient Nails

Today, I shall share you my "Nail of the Week". In fact, I've been wearing this for more than a week already. =D

All of the polishes I used were from HBC. Wanna recreate it? Here's how:

1. Make sure your nails are clean and sanitized. File it to your desired shape. =)

2. Apply base coat. For me, since I don't have one, I used Caronia colorless nail polish. Let dry.

3. Take a duochrome pearl-pink nail polish like San San Nail Polish in Lilac Pearl and apply on entire nail. Again, let it dry. 

4. Get a piece of sponge and a small piece of plastic (to be used as a palette). You can use an old CD case like I did. =D

5. Put a few drops of pink nail polish. I used San San Tea Rose. It is actually mauvey-pink. Dab the sponge on the pink polish and dab on the middle half of your nail. Let dry.

6. Then take a purple shade. Put a few drops and dab the sponge there. Apply it on the tip of the nail, about 1/4 of the nail. I used San San Violet Glam.

7. Since my purple polish was a bit dark, I toned it down using San San Lavender Blush, a lighter purple nail polish. If I used Lavender Blush alone, the purple won't stand out and it won't look like a gradient. that's why I had to use a darker purple nail polish before Lavender Blush.

8. Top it off with your clear nail polish to smooth out the top coat and seal it. =)

9. Let it dry completely.

10. You're done! Haha! ^__^

Here's how mine turned out.

There you go! Thanks to HBC and Miss Kat V for these pretty nail polishes! I'll be posting a review soon! ^__^

Hubby thought it's a French Tip... What do you think? -___-

Touch Me! Touch Me!

Last week, I sort of announced that we have our prenup shoot scheduled last Sunday, August 7th. But due to the awful weather that happened the evening till dawn of that day, we checked if we can still continue with the shoot. Saturday night, it's still rainy and the wedding coordinator told us that if by 5:00am the weather is still the same, we would have to postpone the prenup shoot and reschedule it.

Come 5am the next day, it was still drizzling. The wedding coordinator sent us a message that we would resched the said shoot.

As you can remember from my post last week (read here), I had my nails done and wore a very neon pink with a hint of purple shade. The morning of Saturday, my mom-in-law (to be) noticed my cute nails but thought that it would be too bright for the shoot. Actually, I was really thinking of changing the color, since I would have to wear formal clothes. So, in the evening, after church, I hurried to the local salon (again) had a foot spa and a quick mani. Teehee! Two days in a row! Wow! While she was removing my polish, she gave me the box of polish so I could choose. In fact, I already know what shade I'm going for. I am going nude! Hahaha!

NOTW (Nail of the Week): Caronia's A Touch of Tan
Picture looks crisp? I used my sister-in-law (to be)'s camera... =D


I'd be probably wearing this till Saturday. Then, I'll have my nails done (again) in the same shade so that they'll look fresh in the photos. =D


I would be making a clothing haul soon... Maybe before the shoot. I forgot to mention that we went a little clothes shopping and found some fab finds in MEG SM San Lazaro and Divisoria's 168 Mall! =D


I have so much to update with you guys, but my internet connection is crappy now - so crappy that some of my students complain about the quality of my connection. TT__TT


Till then! I'd try to update more often... ^__~
