#TheHeartRemembersMani

Hi, Ladies!

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.

To start, @cmlovesnails 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.

Here are my #theheartremebersmani /s:

 This was using Flormar polish n009 for the base.  The glittered polish was Misslyn in Sexy Love which I got as a prize from Selina's giveaway.  I used Winstonia's W207 plate for the middle finger.

This was OPI's Do You Have This Color In Stock-Holm? from their Nordic Collection, which I bought from PolishPleasePH.  The other colors were from China Glaze's Offshore Collection.

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.

Lastly, Girl Stuff Forever's Stardust and Wild Berries for this one.

All manis used Seche Top Coat.

All that aside, I am looking to do the #31dc2014 this September!  Have a good one!

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!
