Etude House GR608

I'm a fan of  nail polishes from Etude House. The bottle sis just the right size, not too big nor too small. The colors varies from safe nudes to bright-popping colors. Its very affordable too, the price ranges from P49 to P129 per bottle, depending on the collection. Here's a color that's not available locally, I don't know why but I call that discrimination ( hehehe!).  

This is called GR608 (why can't they give cuter names to their nail polishes??sigh.). I found this color on Ebay from a trusted seller. Its a really cool and cute shade of green. I call it avocado green. :) 

The names are located at the bottom of the bottles.

The color is great plus the consistency.But the opacity is a flop.Its very. . .very sheer!This was four coats but it looked too heavy on my nails.Very thick.Its like I used play-doh to color my fingernails.

See what I mean? Its too bad, I really love the color.But its just not pigmented enough.

In the next pictures  I've applied  OPI Black shatter  ( index and ring fingers) and Etude House Black crackle (middle and pinky finmgers)

Can you see the difference between OPI Black Shatter and the Etude House crackle polish? I love OPI Black Shatter because its not a cracked effect, it looks more like a 3 year old kid scribbled on your fingernails :) Love it!

GR608 is one of the Etude House nail colors that looks great but the formula isn't user friendly. I've tried wearing it twice but both attempts is a complete failure. The color complements my complexion but I tend to apply more coatings to make sure it won't have bald spots. I'm not sure if this color is available at other Etude House stores but if you like it, shoot me an email so I can give you the details of my trusted seller. :)

Bobbie LUSH

I really love green nail polish, its cool to the eyes and there's soooo many shades to choose from. And from my last post until now I've been around the shops looking for pretty nail polishes. I was lucky that I've found a number of colorful treasures, mostly from Etude House. My first post though would be about a local fab find. here you go! :)

It really is a lush color ain't it? :) I'll look for more pretty colors from Bobbie soon. Hope they'll create more colors like this, its always red or tan/beige that they focus on. I hope they give us more fun and unique colors.

Ebay best-buys

I bought a number of nail polishes on Ebay from my trusted seller. She used to sell Korean branded make-up and skin care prods only before but she she also sells a few bottles of nail polish, still Korean brands. What I love about this "suki" of mine is that her price is about half of the mall prices and if you buy P300 or more of items, you'll a get a freebie or two. I immediately bought 7 bottles from her/him,hahaha...here's snapshot of the colors that I've tried so far.

Skinfood Pedicure Vita #10 Midori Shower

Pardon my faux nails, the size looks awful right?looks so fake! That's why after wearing them for 5 days, I took off my fake nails and decided to paint and wear my real nails. They're not yet normal length but I love them just the same. I'm more confident to show off my nail polish to people now knowing that it's the real me!  (^_^)   anyway, with this bottle, I loved the color because its bright and when I look at it it kinda has a relaxing effect on me. And the consistency for me is just right, think enough to apply it easily.No bumps nor waves. The smell is also minimal, another thing I liked about Skinfood nail polishes.

Skinfood Nail Vita #BR613 Mocha Gold

Yup, you're seeing it right! I bid goodbye to my nail extensions and am now proudly wearing my own painted nails.   (^_^)  My nail bed on my ring finger, on both my hands, are still awkwardly short but I don't care. I'm starting to grow my finger nails long and I'm thankful for the polishes. I haven't picked nor bitten on my finger nails for 3weeks now since I've decided  to paint and wear my own nails. I just love Skinfood nail polishes! They're easy to apply on my really short nail beds. No lumps. No bumps. No lines. My sister also loves this color because it doesn't make your skin look darker. It helps to brighten up your hands complexion. This is also good if you want a subtle nail polish color.

I bought these babies at only P100 for each bottle. At the mall if not mistaken, they're around P185 or more.Not sure.

Skinfood Pedicure Vita #5 French Kiss

I'm not so crazy about this color. It looks different from inside the bottle to when its actually applied on the nails. bummer!  *pout*  I'm still searching for that perfect shade of purple on my nails. Any suggestions?Will post the other colors I've bought online in the next few days.  :)
