Caronia - Lounge

A belated Merry Christmas and advance Happy New Year everyone! ♥

When I first saw Caronia's Lounge (from their Bright Nights Series) on the shelf of a local supermarket, I immediately got a hold of it. As you may have known I'm now very fascinated with polishes that has a "FOIL'' type effect. Plus Lounge has this Christmas-y color that I love! :)

Lounge in my opinion when applied on its own is a bit on the sheer side. So you may have to put more than 2-3 coats to achieve a nice effect. But what I did was layered it over Moss, another Caronia polish (swatches from a previous post CLICK HERE ) I really liked the outcome of my little experiment. hehe :)

I will certainly buy the other shades from this collection!

God Bless everyone! ♥

Ombre Christmas Nails

Hello!

I have tried the so-called ombre/gradient/sponge technique before. Using my finger! Yes, my thumb! :) But after watching a tutorial on youtube, I finally learned the correct way and things to use for the particular technique. Wouldn't you know it, I am loving it!! :)

Eeekk I need more sponge!!!

Here is my ombre nails. Hope you all like it. :)

 

God Bless everyone! ♥

 

Bobbie - Weng Weng (HOLO)

This post is dedicated to ALL holo polish lovers out there! ♥

As you may have known, I'm not really a fan of holographic polish though I have a few in my stash. But since I wanted to show everyone some really awesome local polishes, I bought Weng Weng from Bobbie another well known brand here in the Philippines. They actually have I think 6 shades from the collection which all are holos. But for me, WengWeng was the most outstanding of them all. No worries, I will try to get ahold of the other shades and show it with you all. :)

Some added info.,
when I do swatches for my blog I don't put top coat. And I usually take photos outdoor on natural light. I only edit my photos to crop it and add watermarks.


Moving on with Weng Weng, I hope that you are ready for some HOLOness!!! :)

Snowman and Heart Nail Art

Happy Holidays in advance!

Christmas is just around the corner, I'm excited to be celebrating it with my family. ♥

I haven't done nail art for a long time and when I did this two, my hands were literally shaking! :( I don't know why. Plus, my top coat sucks to be seen with the smudges on mr. Snowman. I really need to buy Seche Vite.

With the hearts, it was just a random design I did in like 15mins. but still with my hands shaking. It is really nice having a blog, cos eventhough I'm not that good I still get to share my passion for nail art and polish. I realized that I shouldn't be affected with what "OTHER" people will say about my creations. As long as I have friends that appreciates me, then I'm satisfied. ♥

God Bless everyone! ♥

Caronia: Miss Mystic Collection

Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la la. :)

It's a good thing Caronia, one of the leading local nail polish brand, released their new holiday collection: Miss Mystic. This new collection features 3 mystifying shades that work well with any outfit. For every girl should compliment an outfit with a well-manicured nails painted with a dashing color for that perfect cherry-on-the-top amazing outfit! :)

Moss - Rouge - Taupe

Caronia nail polish is available in leading supermarkets,
department stores and drug stores nationwide.

swatches:

For the sophisticated socialite, there is ROUGE,
your basic red in a not-so-usual elegant shade.

 

For the fashionable girl who wants her nails to match her
ever-changing party outfits, TAUPE is a great nude shade
to compliment this season's hottest colors and trends.

For those that want to get edgy this holiday season,
try MOSS, a deep-green shade with a hint of frost.

tip: 

Don't forget to apply a coat of Caronia's Nail Hardener and Base Coat (a personal fave of mine!) before applying your preferred shade to fill out ridges and protect your nails and top it off with Caronia Fast-Dry Top Coat and a drop of their award winning Kwik Dry and Cuticle Conditioner.

Thank you so much for all the love and support. ♥

I'll be sharing with y'all a nail art I did a few weeks back. I'm sorry for the photo quality. The time I made this my camera's memory card was lost so I was only left with my camera phone. But my cam is now ok so I already did a couple of new designs to be posted soon! :)

 

God Bless everyone! ♥

Am I Not Good Enough?

Hello sweethearts!

I know that I haven't been posting for a long time. And I'm really sorry for that.

It's just that I have been feeling down. I feel that I am not good enough for this art. That I am worthless. Yes I did feel all of those things at the same time. My self confidence is really really low now. :(

To boost a bit of confidence, I always listen to a Demi Lovato's song,

BELIEVE IN ME

I wish that I can BELIEVE IN MYSELF too.. *crying*
