my new found love!





As far as I can remember, I've been torturing my nails (yes,both my finger and toe nails.but i don't bite toe nails,of course!).Biting them and nagkukutkot din ako ng nails (sorry,i couldn't think nor find an english counterpart of the word).Whenever I'm bored or thinking or just sitting in a classroom or on a bus, I'd do either of the two. I've tried many times to stop from my bad habit but it would only last for 2weeks or a month.Then I'd  do it again.Even up until now. My finger nails look like these since I was a kid:




I know,it looks so unattractive.yeah...yeah...yeah...and my fingers look like a bunch of longganisa pa.hahaha...My dad would even tease before that my fingernails have their own forehead hahaha...So anyway,I've heard about nail extensions at Dashing Diva at Beauty Bar branches. I went there about 3weeks ago with a couple of my co-workers.I had my nails done and availed of Virtual Nails which costs P800. It includes buffing your nails,application of the nail extensions and nail polish. They also offer a glass of Cosmopolitan for FREE!But this is only on Thursdays and Fridays.Dashing Diva have two kinds of nail extensions:Virtual Nails(P800) and Gelife (P1400-P1500).I'm just not sure what the difference is yet. Since this is my first attempt at serious nail care and "nail fashion:, I opted for the cheaper one.hahaha...I just wanted to experience having long nails and hoping that wearing them for 2-3weeks would help me to stop from torturing my nails. I loved it! I loved how it looked and felt like. At first,it was difficult for me to move and do stuff because I was used to having almost no nails at all. I got used to it after 2 days or so. Alot of people were complimenting my nails because they really looked fab. Unfortunately, I was so makulit and wanted to change my nail polish every week.Not knowing that the acetone would weaken the glue. While changing nail polish, one of my VN fell off.I was so inis that i just took them all off.after 2 days,I miss having long nails so I went to Watson's and looked for nail extensions. I found a set of French tip and tried them on.and the result:





Even though my new nails are just medium length, there's still a big difference right?The only thing i don't like about the nails I got from Watson's is the glue doesn't have much sticking power.After an hour of applying my nail extensions, one of them already fell off after washing my hands.So maybe what I'll do next is buy the nails from Watson's then buy the glue from Dashing Diva ('coz their glue lasted for almost 3weeks) hahaha...I just  love being girly and maarte!

and oh!I got my Wet N Wild nail polish from Ebay for only P40.I love the color.its so lively!I'll post more pictures of the nail polishes that I've bought from just everywhere.
