<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hi, Ladies!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">How have you been? I'm back to review a new gel-type system from <a href="http://www.instagram.com/sechenails" target="_blank">Seche</a>. Honestly, I don't understand the fuss about gel-like polishes. I find that they are a little more glossy than your regular nail polish, but that's it. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So for this post, I want to tell you that I may change my mind about gel-like systems. I have been given the whole 3-step package to try. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">1. Base: And I thought it was our normal base coat. I applied it as I usually would--all five fingers, then return to see if it has dried. After a couple or so minutes, the base was still sticky!! But that was how it was supposed to be<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">. They say it has "adhesives and plasticizers</span> to secure lacquer to all nail<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> types for long lasting finish." </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">2. Lacquer: I layered my lacquers right after I found out the base was not gonna dry normally. The lacquers went on like butter on my nails. They were all easy to apply and were self-leveling. I had no problem with streaking or glooping. All <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">of them were op<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">aque in t<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">wo coats.</span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">3. Sealant: On my first attempt, I found that the brush was a little unruly. I was told to just clean it with polish remover, and it fixed itself. This top coat sealed my polish and nail art really nicely. It gave the mani the shine that I wanted, and it also dried instantly. The Seche brand did not disappoint. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This looks really promising. I have done 3 designs using 3 different colors. Here they are:</span></span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Overall, I love the colors that I got, and how easily I can apply them. I like that I haven't seen the same colors in their regular Seche polishes, so I have a wider array of hues to choose from. <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For now, they have 72 differ<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">ent <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">shades.</span></span></span> I'm also happy about the new bottles--very unique, and a breeze to store. I also love that the bottles indi<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">cate the 3-step process , making it easier to use. </span>The price is very reasonable, nothing too expensive.</span><br>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I will update you ladies on how long this mani lasts me. I usually don't wear the same polish / nail art more than 3 days. I'm hoping this one doesn't chip easily! :) Come back for the update in a week!</span><br>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi, Ladies!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How have you been doing? As usual, I am not always on here because I'm ALWAYS on Instagram (except, Instagram is starting to eff us over with their new algo-sh*thm).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would like to share with you a new nail art stamping system called <a href="http://www.apharsec.myshopify.com/" target="_blank"><u>APHARSEC</u></a>. If you wish to check them out on Instagram, here: <a href="http://www.instagram.com/apharsec_uk" target="_blank">Apharsec IG</a>. </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was founded by <span style="color: red;">Hila Raanan<span style="color: black;"> from the UK. </span></span> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hila was extremely patient with me during my first attempts to use her stamping system.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First, let me show you how the packaging looks like.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YTPMvmVEcGI/V06GF1_IymI/AAAAAAAAAto/3NxADHDEqnU49oF7U0wkUXU4--r59p-4gCLcB/s1600/apharsecpackaging.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="224" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YTPMvmVEcGI/V06GF1_IymI/AAAAAAAAAto/3NxADHDEqnU49oF7U0wkUXU4--r59p-4gCLcB/s320/apharsecpackaging.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was ecstatic upon receiving my nail mail, and even more when I opened it. The boxes looked like ones from eyeshadows / blushes. They are all artsy and colorful, expressing the boldness and versatility of the system. I swear, I kept all the boxes afterwards.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You may check their website or Instagram accounts to see videos on how to use their stampers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At first I had difficulty using it because I was so used to the traditional stamping plates, where you put polish, scrape fast, pick up the image and stamp it on. I found that I had to unlearn the usual technique to be able to make Apharsec work for me. I had to put stamping polish on the stamper, scrape it on to paper (making sure the paper is flattened or else the polish wouldn't scrape off whole), and then WAIT until the polish is dried before transferring the image to my nails.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I haven't had the chance to use multiple colors in my nail art as I still have to practice more of this system.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are two of my nail art samples:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was using Apharsec 5 and Q30 (picture above). And the other one using Apharsec 3 and 10 (below). </span> <br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I loved how the images sent to me are so retro. I have a lot of manis on my mind, I haven't been successful in translating them into actual nail art yet. Please wait for them soon on my Instagram account (<a href="http://www.instagram.com/tinseltownnails" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">@tinseltownnails</span></a>).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So far, I find that I need to do a LOT more practice before I can perfect this technique, but compared to traditional stamping, this is more on-the-go. Light weight because all you need to bring is this rubber stamp vs. plate, scraper, stamper. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A stamp costs </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="money" data-currency-gbp="£ 7.99">£</span>7.99 though, so it might be pricey for most. Buuuuut, good news is, shipping is free for UK, so better hurry, grab that and try one! It IS exciting to learn something new!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi there, everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been out for so long. I haven't felt like writing anything at all since the last time I did. I've been active on IG as usual, but not on here (AS USUAL.) In fact, I'm feeling kind of lazy right now. I have a lot on my mind, but I'm escaping it by writing this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I bought half of Essie's Retro Revival just to be able to swatch it. When my friend Selina (from <a href="http://www.sluenidoesnails.com)/" target="_blank">www.sluenidoesnails.com)</a> and I were talking about this collection, I swore to her I wouldn't buy a single bottle. But curiosity got the best of me...and addiction, of course. I got my polishes from <a href="http://www.polishplease.ph/" target="_blank">Polish Please</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Birthday Suit here took me 4 thin coats. It was watery and streaky, so I had difficulty with it. I was surprised to see this lovely outcome after the 4th coat because I was losing all hope after the 3rd. I thought I was gonna throw this bottle away from disappointment. I can hardly say I'm happy with it, but I know this is something I'm keeping for the rare times I'm feeling delicate. This shade is really good for work or weddings, if you're interested.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cabana Boy was something that I knew I would like, and it did not disappoint, with just 3 thin coats. It wasn't too hard to work with, compared to Birthday Suit. It has a slight silver shimmer to it, so it's really unique. I haven't had any shade like this before.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I only bought Starry Starry Night because everyone was nuts about it. I wanted to compare to Zoya's Dream, too. I'm sad to say this falls short of expectation. It does build up nicely, but is probably a 7 or 8 out of a perfect 10 score.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi there, Ladies!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm back with some exciting swatches and simple nail art designs for the <a href="http://www.doctorlacquer.com/" target="_blank">Doctor Lacquer</a> Scubaloha Collection! I got myself the Full Set which are 16.5 ml for each bottle, consisting of 8 (yes, EIGHT) amazing Glow in the Dark Neon / Pastel Neon colors!! They sell for $79.99 for the whole collection, which if you ask me, is a steal for that price. But they also have an option for medium-sized sets, with the same 8 colors at 10.5 ml each for $57.99. So, before I reveal everything I have to say about this collection, please check out my swatches and designs below. (Disclaimer: I have mentioned that this collection is gitd, but I apologize, I have yet to practice my gitd picture-taking abilities, so no posts on that here.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First off is Nohu. I swatched this color first because coral is my most favorite color of all (especially neons).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jkk4SlI3JPw/Vj3Da5QI6KI/AAAAAAAAAos/Ug9DgEhG4K4/s1600/Doctor%2BLacquer%2BNohu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jkk4SlI3JPw/Vj3Da5QI6KI/AAAAAAAAAos/Ug9DgEhG4K4/s320/Doctor%2BLacquer%2BNohu.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a rich pastel neon coral color. I did 3 easy coats on this just to be sure.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5xqnuld6R0c/Vj3EFxjeLKI/AAAAAAAAAo0/F6R9tMZMeEk/s1600/Doctor%2BLacquer%2BNohu%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5xqnuld6R0c/Vj3EFxjeLKI/AAAAAAAAAo0/F6R9tMZMeEk/s320/Doctor%2BLacquer%2BNohu%2B1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And because this was my first swatch, I failed so badly with the photography. I stamped on a BPS 024 image using MDU Spring Green. This is really lovely IRL. The image was sharp, the colors were a great combination of each other, but since these were too bright for the camera, it couldn't focus well. I had to apply a matte top coat even though Nohu finished an even more beautiful semi-matte / satin. IMO, I failed Doctor Lacquer so badly with this picture. (I also tried putting a glossy top coat on, but it was even more painful to the eye.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hinalea Lauwili is a rich pastel neon green color. I find it really refreshing to the eye. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QCdLqx6LmYM/Vj3FtqbuczI/AAAAAAAAApA/IiTE1ncPjhA/s1600/Doctor%2BLacquer%2BHinalea%2BLauwili.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QCdLqx6LmYM/Vj3FtqbuczI/AAAAAAAAApA/IiTE1ncPjhA/s320/Doctor%2BLacquer%2BHinalea%2BLauwili.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also did 3 easy coats to achieve this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-C6rpKqJhoAY/Vj3HGnOvOTI/AAAAAAAAApM/dT5oLVAq_4Q/s1600/Doctor%2BLacquer%2BHinalea%2BLauwili%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-C6rpKqJhoAY/Vj3HGnOvOTI/AAAAAAAAApM/dT5oLVAq_4Q/s320/Doctor%2BLacquer%2BHinalea%2BLauwili%2B1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This time, I stamped a Konad image on, with a local (or maybe Chinese) polish, but topped with Seche Vite. And then I realized I liked Doctor Lacquer's finish best but it was too late.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lau'i Pala is a pastel yellow color that looks like it gitd even in daylight, if you get what I mean.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4Zgpqx8ddI8/Vj3JUzr-8zI/AAAAAAAAApY/kqq2INQntCU/s1600/Doctor%2BLacquer%2BLaui%2BPala.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4Zgpqx8ddI8/Vj3JUzr-8zI/AAAAAAAAApY/kqq2INQntCU/s320/Doctor%2BLacquer%2BLaui%2BPala.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was 3 easy coats as well.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And because "Scubaloha", I stamped a Cici and Sisi image on it. I used MDU 49 polish for this and I fell so in love. You know that feeling when you give birth and see your child as the prettiest thing on Planet Earth? That's the feeling I got for this. No humility AT ALL. I wore this for 3 days, I think. THREE. WHOLE. DAYS. That almost never happens to me. Ok, I'm gushing. Sorry. On to the next one.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Omilu is a pastel blue that's said to glow strongest and longest. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also 3 easy coats. Do you get the pattern yet? :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xUYQkBeIoPY/Vj3KwToO9MI/AAAAAAAAApw/R7jLpXkiOzc/s1600/Doctor%2BLacquer%2BOmilu%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xUYQkBeIoPY/Vj3KwToO9MI/AAAAAAAAApw/R7jLpXkiOzc/s320/Doctor%2BLacquer%2BOmilu%2B1.jpg" width="319" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And the attempt to do an advanced / multiple stamping design just didn't do it. I'm sorry. These were from plates my friend lent me (all dupes). Those are merfolks there, if you can't tell. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lau Wiliwili is a pastel yellow color that still glows. If I may say so myself, it looks a little orangey in some angles. I love it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-41_0gKkD3og/Vj3Lab3YtKI/AAAAAAAAAp4/4Gk2djHo24o/s1600/Doctor%2BLacquer%2BLau%2BWiliwili.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-41_0gKkD3og/Vj3Lab3YtKI/AAAAAAAAAp4/4Gk2djHo24o/s320/Doctor%2BLacquer%2BLau%2BWiliwili.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You guessed it. 3 coats.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stamped an image from Cici and Sisi again, using MDU 30 polish. I dunno, the stamping polish needed a lot more shaking than what I did, so pardon this. Had a great future to it though. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I saved Kumu for last.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was 2 coats. Rich pastel neon pink that reminded me of...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes, Barbie. I used <a href="http://www.faburnails.com/" target="_blank">Faburnails</a> Fun 12 image plate for this. (Don't forget my discount code: "Tinseltownnails" for 10% off all items!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh wait. I had trouble with the grittier Uhu Uliuli so I didn't swatch it alone. I did this with Lauhau:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It took me days to finish this mani. Kidding. I loved the random colored glitters and thought it worked perfectly well with Uhu Uliuli.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To cap this blogpost, I'd want to stress how much I love this collection. I was disappointed with another popular brand's pastel neon collection, but Doctor Lacquer met all expectations! This wins it for me. I hope this collection doesn't ever get discontinued because I'm thinking I might need another whole one in the next year or two.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi, Ladies!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I finished last month's challenge, but wasn't able to post it here. I'm so sorry. I'm just too lazy. I feel like nobody visits this page anyway. They're all on instagram.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Buuuut, I'm so excited to share with you swatches of the new <a href="http://www.instagram.com/picturepolish" target="_blank">Picture Polish</a> collab collection! I am always so happy to see the collab line because I try to imagine what color a nail artist will come up with, and they ALWAYS, ALWAYS come up with something awesome (my mind doesn't give the colors justice. LOL!).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These 4 colors I chose are from people I look up to. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's Arabian--a Christmas red with little specks of gold, silver and metallic red glitters. It's a rich color, really opaque. I love how elegant it is alone. I imagine using this for parties, Christmas or New Year's! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here, I added an image from Cici and Sisi plate 03. I wanted the stamping to be really subtle so I do not ruin the lovely color. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> New York is a little mauve-y, kind of old rose-y pink, with silver tiny glitters. It is very, very elegant. I'm thinking of getting myself a back-up bottle for this because I'm foreseeing a very used NY bottle in the next few months. This color can be paired with ANYTHING! Wear it at parties, work, home, you name it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From <a href="http://www.instagram.com/faustgil" target="_blank">La NPA Mouton / Faustgil</a>, it's Big Bang. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had to use three (3) coats for this, and you can still see some of my nail bed. It is a pretty purple color with a lot of colored glitters. I like it, too, but not as much as the rest of the lot. Probably because of it being a 3-coater. I hate to 3-coat polishes. :( </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And in my mind, this design will be awesome, but I totally forgot I had a dark base, and didn't put white underneath the other colors. Sucks for me. Can you even see the design??? UGH.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This probably isn't an everyday color, but this is my most favorite among the four colors that I got. I can't help it, I'm a neon baby. This is super neon pink, with a lot of scattered silver glitters. It's a beaut!! Of course, I expected this from Nail Decor! <3</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi, Ladies!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I have spent hours and hours thinking of a mani that uses Peach + anything but Gold. I ended up doing the P & G because I couldn't pretend I would be happy with anything else. I love how delicate gold goes with peach. I mean, who can go wrong with that combination? It's just classy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here, I did a gradient of China Glaze White On White, Color Club Hot Hot Hot Pants, and Essie Peach Side Babe. I stamped over an image from OB Nail XXL G plate. I added OPI Love. Angel. Music. Baby for an accent color. I topped everything with Girl Stuff Magic Matte. Take a look:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi, Ladies!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Happy 1st of July!! Last year, I joined in the #omd2nails challenge, so this year, because <a href="http://www.craftynail.com/" target="_blank">Craftynail</a>, <a href="http://www.eeeeknailpolish.com/" target="_blank">Eeeeknailpolish</a>, <a href="http://www.brijitsdigits.net/" target="_blank">Brijitelouise</a> and <a href="http://www.nailthataccent.com/" target="_blank">Nailthataccent</a> are hosting it again, I'M IN!!! I definitely want to complete all 31 prompts like I did last year, plus every nail art I do gets me a raffle for the prizes they're giving away. Cool, yeah? If you want to know more about this challenge, please head on to their blog sites (linked through their names above).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And their first prompt is Teal. Here's my entry:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zuOEOfBiluE/VZPpIwU3euI/AAAAAAAAAlc/KIIAeWWniF4/s1600/omd3nailsTeal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zuOEOfBiluE/VZPpIwU3euI/AAAAAAAAAlc/KIIAeWWniF4/s320/omd3nailsTeal.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used Sally Hansen's Re-Teal Therapy, water-spotted on China Glaze White On White, and then I decal stamped an image from FabUrNails FUN14 plate. Seche Vite for the top coat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was my first time to try water-spotting, and boooooy, it was fuuuuuun!!! I'm looking forward to making more manis using this technique.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope I can do the next prompt tomorrow!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi there, Ladies!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I just want to share with you an experience I had with <a href="http://www.moyou.co.uk/" target="_blank">Moyou London</a>. I think it was about late April / early May that I got my orders from them. I found that one (out of maybe half a dozen) had an etching defect. At first I thought it was just the blue film that was scratched, but when I peeled it off, the plate itself was scratched. I quickly took a picture of it and sent it to them. Without any more questions, they asked for my order number, and replaced the item. I have not encountered customer service THAT good. I just want you all to know that Moyou will always be on top of my list. I love their products, and now, this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are a few manis for you:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I did this one using Games 02 for my dad on Father's Day. Can you tell, he loves cards?</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This one was an Essie base: Just Stitched, from their Cashmere Matte Collection. I stamped an image from Bridal 04.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used a Sailor 04 image for this on top of Catrice (S)wimbledon and Sally Hansen Reef-Raf. The gold and stamping polish was Maybelline Bold Gold.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> And lastly, another image from Sailor 04 over P2 Blueberry Dots.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">FYI, I am not a good stamping artist, but Moyou plates are so easy to work with, that's why most of my plates are from them. I usually wait for their annual (or is it bi-annual) Free Shipping promo for my bulk purchases. I am a very satisfied Moyou customer. Give them a try, you won't regret it!</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am sooo notorious for NOT blogging. Ugh. I hate myself #killmenow.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I do have a couple of images here to show you from two of <a href="http://www.bundlemonster.com/" target="_blank">Bundle Monster</a> image plates.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VftNQm1o6lw/VX07wrgELtI/AAAAAAAAAkI/LW1-SEWSm9o/s1600/BM410.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VftNQm1o6lw/VX07wrgELtI/AAAAAAAAAkI/LW1-SEWSm9o/s320/BM410.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Above is an image from BM-410. I used the reverse-stamping technique to achieve this. The polishes were Misslyn Post It and Tony Moly PT05. I wasn't too happy with the outcome so I had to do it again:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZQDRGTwzxIc/VX08JrF6CYI/AAAAAAAAAkQ/kijwdGWnQIo/s1600/BM410%2Btinseltownnails.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZQDRGTwzxIc/VX08JrF6CYI/AAAAAAAAAkQ/kijwdGWnQIo/s320/BM410%2Btinseltownnails.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do you like this second mani better than the first? I think so, too. It was a breeze getting the image from the plate because the etchings were deep and thick. I also loved coloring the spaces in between since they were fairly big. Even a newbie stamper will have an easy time using this plate.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The whole BM-410 plate was tribal-/aztec- themed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is another mani, this time using BM-602:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Dw7_H9W_I5E/VX08vVl2vcI/AAAAAAAAAkY/35tlsqgObtE/s1600/BM602.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Dw7_H9W_I5E/VX08vVl2vcI/AAAAAAAAAkY/35tlsqgObtE/s320/BM602.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The base colors were <a href="http://www.sallyhansen.com/" target="_blank">Sally Hansen</a> Red Snapper, Diana Manicure 06 (blue) and The Face Shop YL703. </span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had a hard time picking up the images from this plate because they were fine. I had to do 5x each finger to be able to get the whole image perfectly. I initially planned on doing reverse-stamping on this, but decided against it after trying to color the very fine image. You guessed it, the colors were all over the place. I just couldn't do it. So I decided on this simple stamping for this mani. I liked the outcome though. Despite the rough time I had (not really, I'm just exaggerating) picking the image up, I liked how dainty the images look on my nails. If you are an advanced stamper, get this plate!!</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope you liked the manis I did and the opinions I gave regarding the plates. Let me know if you have any more questions!</span></div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(All manis were topped with Seche Vite)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi, Ladies!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wanted to try a stained glass effect mani using <a href="http://funlacquer.com/" target="_blank">Fun Lacquer</a> Reunion (H) but it didn't turn out quite well with all the stamping polishes I tried to use. Gold, Black, White, Metallic Pink. So I decided to use a pastel base and the image from <a href="http://bundlemonster.com/" target="_blank">Bundle Monster</a> BM-618 instead.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ek-dwzESt2E/VUoUEmt7O9I/AAAAAAAAAjA/qBlMCUr0gbg/s1600/Bundle%2BMonster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ek-dwzESt2E/VUoUEmt7O9I/AAAAAAAAAjA/qBlMCUr0gbg/s1600/Bundle%2BMonster.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have to say, I picked up the image quite well here. The plate's image was well-etched (is there such a word?) that it makes a n00b like me look like I know what I'm doing. I have so many more ideas with this image. Give me a few more days and I will update some more nail art of the same image.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This Fun Lacquer Reunion (H) is super holo-crazy! I just borrowed it from my best friend and will be returning it tomorrow. I am also excited to try this brand out so I'll keep you posted. :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">UPDATE:</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't have any nail art for you today. (I'm saving a blog post about a challenge I'm doing for the month) But, hey, I want to share with you something a friend gave me for Christmas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Citra by Nail Tek. Didn't ring a bell. Really. My friend told me to use it as a base coat saying it is Formaldehyde-Free. Uhhmmm-hmmm, I thought, maybe after I finish my OPI Nail Envy. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CdKKz80s5gg/VT-ioHpvTqI/AAAAAAAAAiw/M_O-Uacu100/s1600/Citra%2Bby%2BNail%2BTek.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CdKKz80s5gg/VT-ioHpvTqI/AAAAAAAAAiw/M_O-Uacu100/s1600/Citra%2Bby%2BNail%2BTek.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But one day in December, I re-arranged my stuff and couldn't find my Nail Envy, and there, Citra was, sitting in front of me. So I started using it. I hardly noticed 4 months passing, and my nails growing well, until my bottle was down to its last drop. ASDFGKKKKK!!! I tell you, girls, I HAVE NOT used any base coat to this level. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I tried going back to my Nail Envy, but it didn't work as well as Citra did for me. :( Now, I need to go to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/beautykingdomph" target="_blank">Beauty Kingdom</a> for another bottle. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I just wanted to share with you this product, just in case you want to try. It is selling for Php720, but all worth it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And no, no, I wasn't paid to write this blog. I am just super excited that I have found something that works so well for my nails. I didn't realize I was chip-free for four months until I used a base coat other than Citra.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Now I can't sleep because I need to wait a few more days before I can buy my next bottle. GAAAAH!!!</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">MY BACK IS ACHING!!!!! You know why??! I had this idea in my head and I wanted to execute it, but I wasn't sure what colors I would play with and if I could make it work... BUT!!! Before I tell you everything else, let me tell you why I'm blabbing...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.bundlemonster.com/" target="_blank">Bundle Monster</a> sent me two (2) stampers to play with, and image plates! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A background on my stamping: I only started stamping about 3/4 of a year ago. LOL!! And I wasn't full time on it. I stamped here and there because my friends were so into it. I didn't want to be left behind (but my stamping ability was!!!), so I worked with what I had and tried to improve.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wait, wait. I'll show you what I was working on:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q3JUCIZZP0Y/VRQ7PQVIPHI/AAAAAAAAAhw/_jjljazPsg4/s1600/BundleMonsterStampers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q3JUCIZZP0Y/VRQ7PQVIPHI/AAAAAAAAAhw/_jjljazPsg4/s1600/BundleMonsterStampers.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was great that <a href="http://www.instagram.com/bundlemonster" target="_blank">Bundle Monster</a> gave me stampers in two different colors! You see, when I was starting with my stamping, I only had a white stamper. When I wanted to use a white stamping polish, I got cross-eyed. So the photo above shows you a silver stamping polish and the difference of the image on the stampers with different colors. MY PROBLEM IS SOLVED! (Thank you, Bundle Monster!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The image at the bottom of BM-605 was what I wanted to try first. I was imagining all kinds of color combination because of the geometric shape. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have to admit, I tried a couple of times before my final nail art.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here, I'll share with you the nail fail:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zrwjhaW9zCU/VRQ8knhffiI/AAAAAAAAAh8/BUlVRMDTUZY/s1600/BM605.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zrwjhaW9zCU/VRQ8knhffiI/AAAAAAAAAh8/BUlVRMDTUZY/s1600/BM605.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wanted to use a Pixie Dust as base, but it didn't turn out too nice. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So here, I decided to use a white base and this is how it turned out:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5XAjbxcaTQQ/VRQ9HFwwGqI/AAAAAAAAAiE/7xncH08MTag/s1600/BundleMonsterBM605.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5XAjbxcaTQQ/VRQ9HFwwGqI/AAAAAAAAAiE/7xncH08MTag/s1600/BundleMonsterBM605.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have to admit, I liked it. I used Lofes White Polish as base, also P2 Artful for the green, a black stamping polish, Quo by Orly Neon Orange and Neon Pink, and <a href="http://www.instagram.com/chinaglazeofficial" target="_blank">China Glaze</a> Sweet Hook. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Okay, maybe I don't just "like" this mani, I'm actually quite proud of it. It's my first successful advanced stamping ever! I usually crease my decals and they always turn out so dirty, plus the image gets wrinkled. This one was good! The plate and stampers were great because I got the image whole. I swear, this rarely happens! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The stampers were quite hard to touch, which gave me the impression that they were going to be hard to use, but I was proved wrong.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The image plate was just perfect. The images were etched nicely, it's hard to go wrong with it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm really excited to get some more Bundle Monster plates! They recently just launched their Secret Garden plates! (And you know I'm waiting for my purchase in the mail!)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi, Ladies!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm back with some eye-candies for you!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7DYdy6ms4Rc/VQ9k7WgCGmI/AAAAAAAAAgA/a60gm7QsGnc/s1600/ZoyaDelightCollection.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7DYdy6ms4Rc/VQ9k7WgCGmI/AAAAAAAAAgA/a60gm7QsGnc/s1600/ZoyaDelightCollection.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I recently got hold of this Zoya Delight Collection, and I was ecstatic! I was so excited to show it to my daughter and do nail art with her. Well, as a mom, I feel safer to use 5-Free polish with my not-so-baby daughter, and Zoya offers this. Zoya is actually a brand that's known to be vegan-friendly, free of Dibutyl Phthalate, Toluene, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, and Camphor (Whew! That was a mouthful!). This is safe for women with sensitive skin and allergies. Oh, and also for pregnant women! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, most "vegan-friendly" polishes are safe but doesn't last more than a couple of days. I have tried Zoya and its extended wear formula makes it last up to a week on my nails. (Of course, a week on my nails is just accidental, busy-busy week.) But really, it does hold up to its claim.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I just recently found out that Eiskin Laboratories, Inc. is the exclusive distributor of Zoya Professional Nail Lacquers in the Philippines. It is great that salon owners and nail artists alike, can access the latest offers from them. They have their <a href="http://www.facebook.com/zoyaphilippines" target="_blank">Zoya Philippines Facebook Page</a> and <a href="http://www.instagram.com/zoyaph" target="_blank">ZoyaPH Instagram Account</a> if you want to follow them to find out what's hot and new in the nail community. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Enough chatting and let me show you my swatches.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Zoya Leslie is a soft lavender with some soft metallic turquoise shimmer in it. I love that Leslie makes my nails look cleaner and whiter than the other colors from this collection. I stamped <a href="http://www.instagram.com/bornprettystore" target="_blank">Born Pretty</a> BP-20 image on it, using <a href="http://www.instagram.com/modelsownofficial" target="_blank">Models Own </a>Chrome Mauve. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Zoya Rayne is a dewy blue with soft metallic turquoise shimmer in it. This color reminds me of the hot-right-now Cinderella dress. I stamped <a href="http://www.instagram.com/bornprettystore" target="_blank">Born Pretty</a></span> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">BP-08 image on it, using <a href="http://www.instagram.com/modelsownofficial" target="_blank">Models Own</a> Chrome Pink. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Zoya Daisy is a lemon yellow with soft metallic turquoise shimmer in it. I don't usually go for this kind of yellows, but Daisy is a keeper! I stamped <a href="http://www.instagram.com/bornprettystore" target="_blank">Born Pretty</a> BP-02 image on it with a black stamping polish.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Zoya Tiana is a spring green creme that reminds me of, well, Tiana! :) I stamped <a href="http://www.instagram.com/pueencosmetics" target="_blank">Pueen</a> SE04A on the accent, colored in with Eden, Daisy, Leslie and Lillian.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Zoya Lillian is a spring blue creme. I find that it's perfect as a base for any spring mani. I used the rest of the Delight Collection colors for the flowers to see if the colors would go well together, and it did!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Zoya Eden is a darker spring pink creme and is the easiest to use among all these colors. I splattered the rest of the colors into my accent nails and loved how it turned out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These swatches were done in two coats for the cremes and Leslie, three coats for Rayne and Daisy. All of them were topped with <a href="http://www.instagram.com/secheph" target="_blank">Seche Vite</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's another look on all colors together:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you knew me well, you'd know for sure that I like the cremes better. So my favorite color in this collection is---TIANA! Did you guess right? How about you? What did you like best?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi there, Ladies!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm back! I got a Black Stamping Polish (Item No. 1324) from <a href="http://www.bornpretty.com/" target="_blank">Born Pretty Store</a> to be reviewed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's how it went:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tehR8m4l-lQ/VPXNFN5olzI/AAAAAAAAAfI/fKkMoaciIVM/s1600/IMG_20150303_225313.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tehR8m4l-lQ/VPXNFN5olzI/AAAAAAAAAfI/fKkMoaciIVM/s1600/IMG_20150303_225313.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I know, I know, not perfect, eh? I posted this on purpose. I wanted to show you guys how I did with the first try. If you noticed, on my pinkie, the image didn't catch on too well. That was because I was too slow grabbing it. The ring finger was sort of the same. But with the middle finger, I was really quick, and the image caught on whole. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I must say, this stamping polish is really opaque, and compared to most stamping polishes I own, I find that this was fairly easy to use. I have used some that aren't as opaque, and some that are really, really hard to grab from the plate. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I like that even after I stored it for a long time (a month), the polish was still fresh. I was able to use MDU stamping polish and the enamel separates from whatever other compositions it has. And to be able to use it (MDU), I have to vigorously shake the bottle. This BPS one is a refresher!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you can see, the polish also didn't bleed after putting on top coat. So I love that about it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Give me some more time and I will be able to perfect using this polish. Hopefully, I will be able to update this blog entry and show you. :) </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">UPDATE: As promised, here's another try on the stamping polish! (Pardon the smudge on the pointer, I accidentally rubbed it onto something after I put the top coat.) I think this polish and I are going to have a beautiful relationship :) I like it, I like it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi, Ladies!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's been a long time! I don't know if I'm back for good, but I will try!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't have a huge amount of followers on Instagram, but I was asked how I gained mine. So here are some tips I can share:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1.) <b>Do </b>use your best nail art as your profile pic. Let's be honest, only a well-presented default picture gets a second look.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qoTk0IC8I3I/VM8OmNweNgI/AAAAAAAAAeE/_O_kFDcrQA8/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-02-02%2Bat%2B1.31.53%2BPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qoTk0IC8I3I/VM8OmNweNgI/AAAAAAAAAeE/_O_kFDcrQA8/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-02-02%2Bat%2B1.31.53%2BPM.png" height="129" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 2.) <b>Do </b>pick an interesting IG name. Make it something easy to remember, something "you". Refrain from using numbers in between letters because it comes off as spammy. No one will trust a @133tty_c00p312nailz vs. @BettyCooperNails</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3.) <b>Do </b>fill out your bio. Say something interesting about you and your IG. This will keep your IG visitors on your page.<b> </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4.) <b>Do </b>take a clear picture of your nails. Use proper lighting. Use photo-enhancing apps. Nobody wants to visit any IG page with blurry pictures.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
VS </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hsY2guTlPV0/VM8VQSDWkwI/AAAAAAAAAek/-K-3zSQOISs/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-02-02%2Bat%2B2.09.00%2BPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hsY2guTlPV0/VM8VQSDWkwI/AAAAAAAAAek/-K-3zSQOISs/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2015-02-02%2Bat%2B2.09.00%2BPM.png" height="270" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5.) <b>Do </b>trim your nails to the same length. I don't find it attractive when one nail is cut short and the rest are kept long. It's just wrong. But this is just a personal opinion. If your nails are neat and clean, it will attract more visitors to your page.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6.) <b>Do </b>clean your cuticles and hydrate before taking photos. Same reason as above. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">7.) <b>Do </b>make it about others, too. Visit other pages, and leave likes and comments as you feel like. Be reminded though, to always be polite and never leave rude comments. And also remember that there's a thin line between liking / commenting and spamming. Be sincere with your likes and comments. Always bear in mind that IG nail artists have their own lives, too, so never ever demand anything from them. Ask nicely and you shall receive.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">8.) <b>Do </b>join in nail art challenges (<a href="http://instagram.com/californails" target="_blank">@californails</a>, <a href="http://instagram.com/nailsby_redkoletz" target="_blank">@nailsby_redkoletz</a>, <a href="http://instagram.com/missbellatracey" target="_blank">@missbellatracey</a>, <a href="http://www.instagram.com/nailitmag" target="_blank">@nailitmag</a> hold them montly), ask your friends to do bestie nails or mani swaps. Make sure when you do collabs, you are able to meet deadlines.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">9.) <b>Do not </b>fill your IG page with giveaway photos. Pick the contests / giveaways you like best and support.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">10.) <b>Do not </b>overuse hashtags. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">11.) <b>Do </b>make an interesting caption as well. Nothing makes me hit the "follow" button more than an engaging caption. This shows that you are not a robot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">12.) <b>Do</b> credit when you recreate or repost. Simply "not erasing" a watermark and not tagging means you are giving credit. Please make sure to tag who inspired you. There is no 'big' or 'small' artist that doesn't need recognition for their work. It is also different when you put credits in your caption and in the comments section. Always put credits in caption. Most artists have their own hashtag if you want them to see your work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">13.) <b>Do not</b> spam other accounts by commenting "F4F", "S4S", "Please check out my account", "Please help me gain followers". This will only get you blocked by other accounts and lessen your chance of being seen by people that matters.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">14.) <b>Do not</b> follow to unfollow. This will also get you blocked. Most IG users check.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">15.) <b>Do</b> <b>not </b>send private group messages to people you don't know! Do not beg for shoutouts and likes. This is even worse than commenting spam messages.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">16.) <b>Do</b> post regularly. Most followers unfollow if they get a feeling that you are not active. This way you can also practice your skills (in doing nail art, in capturing a great photo, etc.) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I gained my followers in a span of a year. One does not gain them overnight. Make time for your account. Be patient, you WILL get there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi, Ladies!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm going to show you three manis today. I feel like I'm so behind blogging that I want to catch up on here.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the metallic prompt, I just did simple stamping using Essie Armed and Ready as base, and Penny Talk as the stamping polish, with <a href="http://instagram.com/pueencosmetics" target="_blank">Pueen Image Plate</a> SE04A. (I got my Essies from <a href="http://www.polishplease.ph/" target="_blank">Polish Please PH.</a>) Of course, I used <a href="http://instagram.com/secheph" target="_blank">Seche Vite Top Coat</a></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I liked how Armed and Ready has gold undertones. Penny Talk was my second choice for stamping. I tried to use Buy Me A Cameo but it wasn't opaque enough to be seen over the base.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the rainbow prompt, I decided to use pastel colors from the Paris In Love Collection (Color Club) which I bought from <a href="http://www.instagram.com/polishedinthecity" target="_blank">Polished In The City</a></span>, <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">added Hello Kitty sticker</span>, <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and <a href="http://www.instagram.com/secheph" target="_blank">Seche Vite Top Coat</a></span>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My application of the top coat was a bit sloppy, so I apologize for the bubbles.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the gradient prompt, I was finally able to recreate (and murder) <a href="http://instagram.com/kgrdnr" target="_blank">Kristin's</a> mani. I used Lofes 114, <a href="http://www.instagram.com/girlstufforever" target="_blank">Girl Stuff Forever</a> Sophia and Color Club Fondue For Two for the gradient, then some acrylic paints for the "flowers." Oh, and I used Girl Stuff Forever's Matte Magic for topper. (And Mom, if you're reading this, this mani is for you, because I LOVE YOUUUUUU. I know you'll say these are pretty because you love me, toooooo.)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know, I know, I suck at anything related to art. I cannot, for the life of me, paint a proper flower. So here are my pretend-flowers. You may look at them from afar and see the illusion of flowers. Maybe I should ask my <a href="http://www.instagram.com/jessgellada" target="_blank">Daddy Jessie</a> for some one-on-one tutorial, but then again, I'm a hopeless case.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Give me a break. :( </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hi, Ladies!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm a little bit behind on my challenge. I actually did the mani on time, it's just the blogging that's late. I was sick yesterday, but everything's up and running the way it's supposed to be now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here's my black and white mani:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--pXNpxUkNlk/VA7_X4gMIwI/AAAAAAAAAcI/C2jf3InFbnc/s1600/IMG_20140907_121000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--pXNpxUkNlk/VA7_X4gMIwI/AAAAAAAAAcI/C2jf3InFbnc/s1600/IMG_20140907_121000.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used Orly Liquid Vinyl (black), Lofes 114, Bundle Monster BM 408 for the image, Essence Gel-Look Top Coat.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">FYI, this is the first time for me to try the Essence Gel-Look Top Coat and I used it for 3 days without chipping. I like it, except that the shine dulls everyday, but given that it didn't chip at all despite my rough physical work those 3 days, I think I like it. I can't say I like it more than my Seche Vite, but it's a close fight. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Okay, now I need to make my next mani.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ciao!</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I usually post on Instagram before I make a blog, so I already know how many likes I have for my Violet Nails there. When I was doing my 6th challenge, I was so uninspired, that I just wanted to make a good color combination and do the lazy stripe mani. Even that, I had to re-do my nails because the colors bled when I took the tape off. Ugh. I have no idea when the Nail Art Gods will make me Ultra Super Talented in any type of nail art.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here it is:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fbtoNmZEzz8/VAx-F4WepmI/AAAAAAAAAb0/IhT1cyfJmkI/s1600/IMG_20140906_191818.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fbtoNmZEzz8/VAx-F4WepmI/AAAAAAAAAb0/IhT1cyfJmkI/s1600/IMG_20140906_191818.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I used some random Korean-brand polishes for this. Lofes for the Violet, and VOV for the teal. Of course, my ever-reliable <a href="http://instagram.com/secheph" target="_blank">Seche Vite Top Coat</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Surprisingly, among all the manis I made for this #31DC2014, this has the most likes. I will never understand what is likeable and not to most people. Personally, I like simple, colorful manis. But of course, some nail artists do rather jaw-dropping manis that I love as well. Bah. Let me know what you personally like? :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ciao, Bella!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi, Ladies!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am proud of myself! I mean, this is the FIFTH day. FIFTH. DAY. If I knew me better, I would've bet on myself giving up on the second day. LOL. So anyway, today, it's the blue nails. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I bought "Young" from the <a href="http://instagram.com/makeupstorephl" target="_blank">Make Up Store Philippines</a> a few months back and thought to give it a swatch. I have to admit, at first, I wanted to make a Marc Jacobs-inspired mani, but my ability did not permit (believe me, I tried).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So here goes the outcome:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BV4JesnnTL0/VAsLly0xbdI/AAAAAAAAAbk/XjlmTQZ9HRc/s1600/IMG_20140906_001746.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BV4JesnnTL0/VAsLly0xbdI/AAAAAAAAAbk/XjlmTQZ9HRc/s1600/IMG_20140906_001746.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> "Young", then "Je T'aime" from Color Club on the accent. I decided to make it a little multimedia/graphic artist-y (if you get what I mean), so I cut the picture of the roses from a water decal I got from <a href="http://facebook.com/beautykingdomph" target="_blank">Beauty Kingdom</a></span> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and used it</span>. <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I, maybe, would have liked it better if I didn't use the white acrylic paint for dots. How 'bout you?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, that's that. I really, badly need to practice my nail art skills. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ciao!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi, Ladies! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, today's prompt says Green and the design just popped in mind. I wanted a mud-ish dirty look with some leaves on it, so I browsed through my image plates (although my stamping skill is as unreliable as my free-hand) and came up with this:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7TfTPe-DUgg/VAnRdVE9foI/AAAAAAAAAbU/5wjpn_hFKlw/s1600/IMG_20140904_234920.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7TfTPe-DUgg/VAnRdVE9foI/AAAAAAAAAbU/5wjpn_hFKlw/s1600/IMG_20140904_234920.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I now have a new favorite nude base: <a href="http://instagram.com/girlstufforever" target="_blank">Girl Stuff Forever</a></span> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sophia. I Seran Wrapped Color Club Fondue For Two (which I got from <a href="http://instagram.com/polishinthecity" target="_blank">Polish In The City</a>), then stamped using <a href="http://instagram.com/moyou_london" target="_blank">MoYou London</a></span> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Artist 04 and <a href="http://instagram.com/mundodeunas" target="_blank">Mundo De Unas</a></span> <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">38. My pinkie and index fingers have China Glaze Shore Enuff. I used OPI Matte Top Coat for everything.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How did you do with yours?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Take care,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi, Ladies!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The third prompt was Yellow Nails and I didn't want to do flowers, fruits, minions or bees. Luckily, I have the <a href="http://instagram.com/bundlemonster" target="_blank">Bundle Monster</a> BM-418 plate, so I stamped over my Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow with images from the plate. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ckRXCqrH9uo/VAh3sduv6xI/AAAAAAAAAbA/yzM2iiZTBe0/s1600/IMG_20140904_153017.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ckRXCqrH9uo/VAh3sduv6xI/AAAAAAAAAbA/yzM2iiZTBe0/s1600/IMG_20140904_153017.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I kind of like the imperfection that my lousy stamping did to this design. It kind of made it look bad-ass-y. :)) Oh well, I try to make excuses for my inability to stamp well. Hoho.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have a good one!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wow, I can't believe I had time to make this second prompt: Orange Nails. As you can see, it's a wee bit common. LOL! I. WAS. IN. A. RUSH! Anyway, I used VOV's Red Orange Speed and Apricot Speed for my colors. I haven't tried this combo for a leopard mani, and thought to give it a try. I kind of like how it turned out despite the lack of imagination. Heehee.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I decided to do this design for my mom. I am staying with her right now because she's not feeling too good. Instead of buying her roses, I did this design on my nails and on hers. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I apologize for the quality and lighting of this picture. I am not used to my mom's place's lighting vs my camera phone settings.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope to improve my stamping this month. (And also to be able to complete the challenge!!)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi, Ladies!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've had a rough August, so I barely posted (or did I even?). But today is another month, and another story. I have at least made space to breathe and make manis.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To start, <a href="http://instagram.com/cmlovesnails" target="_blank">@cmlovesnails</a> started a hashtag called #theheartremembersmani to raise people's awareness on Alzheimer's using purple-colored manis. I loved what she used for her hashtag. It makes me remember my grandma who used to suffer the same disease. The heart truly remembers. Thank you, @cmlovesnails.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are my #theheartremebersmani /s:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LsAvww7Zscc/VAQOMMAOjtI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/qYxMIeCzoD4/s1600/IMG_20140827_224245.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-LsAvww7Zscc/VAQOMMAOjtI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/qYxMIeCzoD4/s1600/IMG_20140827_224245.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> This was using Flormar polish n009 for the base. The glittered polish was Misslyn in Sexy Love which I got as a prize from <a href="http://instagram.com/sluenidoesnails" target="_blank">Selina</a>'s giveaway. I used Winstonia's W207 plate for the middle finger.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was OPI's Do You Have This Color In Stock-Holm? from their Nordic Collection, which I bought from <a href="http://www.polishplease.ph/" target="_blank">PolishPleasePH</a>. The other colors were from China Glaze's Offshore Collection.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used OPI's Do You Have This Color In Stock-Holm? again, with China Glaze Dune Our Thing (pinkie and splatter), and Nailed Polish by Sleek Makeup in Lilac for the base.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lastly, <a href="http://instagram.com/girlstufforever" target="_blank">Girl Stuff Forever</a>'s Stardust and Wild Berries for this one.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All manis used <a href="http://facebook.com/beautykingdomph" target="_blank">Seche Top Coat</a>.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I know I have been out for a looooong time.
