Day 5: Blue Nails #31DC2014

Hi, Ladies!

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.  

I bought "Young" from the Make Up Store Philippines 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).

So here goes the outcome:

 "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 Beauty Kingdom and used it.  I, maybe, would have liked it better if I didn't use the white acrylic paint for dots.  How 'bout you?

Anyway, that's that.  I really, badly need to practice my nail art skills. 

Ciao!

Make Up Store Philippines: Nail Polish

Hi, Ladies!

I collected a few of my manis using Make Up Store Philippines polish.  To be really honest, this was my first purchase from the store.  I always go visit but never purchased.  That last time though, I wanted to buy just one polish to try, but ended up buying more than I budgeted for it.  No regrets though.   They were on sale for 40% off.  So hurry yourself up if you're planning on bringing home some. Their selection is huuuuuge.

This was Clarissa.  When I bought it, I thought I was buying a lavender polish.  After trying it on, I realized it was more of a taupe-y color, only leaning on a little lavender.  It was really easy to apply, compared to my imagination of it being streaky, because it wasn't at all.  It was really clean, so I decided to stamp on a design for my accent nail from my Pueen 73 plate and decorated black studs on the rest.  Not the perfect stamping, but I liked how it turned out.

 Now, Patricia here was a deeper pink with a little purple frost undertone.  Anki was a frosted lavender with micro glitters.  They reminded me of disco, so I took my Winstonia W216 plate and stamped on a disco queen on for accent.  They were opaque in 2 coats, and easy to apply.

 

 This was Annica, a nude-peach frost that's really perfect for everyday use.  I used a water decal that I got from Beauty Kingdom PH  for the accent.  This is probably my favorite (nail art) of the three, although I ended up loving Clarissa most from the four colors above.

All manis used Seche Vite top coat.

Till my next post!
