My gifts to myself

Finally got my Rescue Your Nails copy! Actually way back around the first week of December, just didn't have enough time to post about it here. hehehe...I bring this to work everyday so I can read it whenever I have free time.My co-workers saw it and they all have the same line, "a book about nails.so lame.kaartehan lang!" something like that. hahaha...well,they wouldn't understand I guess. I just ignore them. I'm learning alot from this book and I don't regret buying it.I even covered it with plastic wrapping to protect it.LOL. I had to literally call one National Bookstore branch to another just to check if they still have this. And finally, NBS' Best Seller at Robinson Galleria still have one copy left....the last one.Meant to be.LOL.

(I'm wearing Wet N' Wild Eggplant Frost in this picture)

The sticker says it all






I loved Wet N' Wild Blue Sapphire so I gave the brand another chance with a different color called Eggplant Frost. Its medium purple with a hint of blue in it. I loved it on my finger nails but unfortunately it doesn't have a staying power at all. I applied it for a Christmas party and then the following day, it already chipped. I didn't even do any chores at all the night before. sigh. too bad.

Sorry for the crappy picture, I had to post it 'coz this is how it really looked like in real life

pre-clean up. kinda looks like ORLY Velvet Rope with the glitters right?

And here's Skinfood's Strawl Hot that I wore last week. I love the shade of pink and how it attracts attention. A teammate of mine even said that its a "malanding pink".hahaha...I wore it for 7 days, I think...and no chipping! So pretty, right?

Since I'm into reading these days, I also got hooked on bookmarks. I bought these in Landmark for less than P30  for 4pcs.

I also saw these really cute stickers all about love. What really caught my attention was this one:

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.  :)
