Physics 401: Electricity and Magnetism

Every one needs a break and that's very me! But I believe that I owe you a treat and here it is.

From my experience, if you really want an obvious magnetic effect, you have to place the magnet extra closer that even a strand of hair can not pass. Uh well... And I think that's also possible to ruin your polish unless you're an OC. Haha. There. By the way, I used different magnets for the design. Pinkie messed up.

In The Ayer

It's not about this and this; it's about Deborah Lippmann Glitter in the Ai(ye)r.

Who wouldn't put her hands in the air with this gorgeous mani??? Two coats of Essie Borrowed & Blue for the base and several coats of DL.

As usual, DL has always been thick yet smooth. Just a little problem --- I end up with a chalky, uneven tips. I don't really know if it's Essie Borrowed & Blue, DL or Seche.

Just did some tripping. Bleh! The last time I paint is (*think, think, pause), oh, with DL Lara's Theme!

Day 8: Choco Candy Sprinkle

What if...

are joined together?

Will it result to...

or this?

Heart-warming indeed. I was a bit smiling and laughing while doing this because I first intended to do a fuchsia gradient but I'm happy that I changed my mind. For these nails, I use two coats of Nubar Swiss Chocolate ( I intend to use OPI Suzi Says Da! but repeal at the latter) and topped with Essie A Cut Above (luxe effects).

Nubar is my new love! Nah, don't get it wrong. I mean, I cannot explain how I fell in love at first use. It's just so perfect that I didn't give me any trouble. Very smooth, very, very good. Way much better that MAC Nail Polishes. This glitter effects from Essie is also an excellent job. Surprisingly smooth for a glitter polish. Barely two coats of Seche Vite and I'm done.

So, it took me, no, not a week, just 6 1/2 days. As I said, my sister is here and we're spending all the time together, plus I attended the every night's events that I'm lacking time to do-undo-redo my nails. Yeah so many reason. Haha.

I devotedly tried the Katniss Everdeen's manicure but I finished nothing. Lol. Again, I might be trying it next time. Alright,  the last event that I attended is the (Graduation) ball party and I unconsciously wore the a-la Fat Tuesdays without the violet/purple shade.

Which color do you think made it perfect? Hmmm, they compliment just perfectly.

These nails actually remind me of something. Mardi Gras. At least, even I didn't end with an arrow or fire, I ended with a rex.

I wear red

I am so so (and very) sorry that it took me forever to post this. I guesstimate doing this three days ago but I can give you lots of excuses why I fail doing so. For all that I'm posting it now. Hmmm... Hard to decide what color and shade to use. Yeah, I picked red --- and amongst my red family --- Zoya Kimmy, OPI Opi Red, OPI Manicurist of Seville, Essie Too Too Hot, Essie Meet Me At Sunset, guess who won?

If you will notice, the polish actually appears to be in plum family in the bottle but it's so surprising that it's in the red-berry family! Not to mention how gorgeous is it in my nails! Oh by the way, it's OPI Manicurist of Seville.

I halved it using my magic tape and China Glaze Platinum Silver and pat with Misa Dance Fever/OPI Crown Me Already that I got from my dearest Rina! You can use either of the two. I use two different glitter lacquers just for comparison and I end up loving CRA bigtime. Sealed it with 2 coats of Seche Vite. In my opinion, it will last for 6 days w/o chipping except for the shrinking issue of SV. I took the pic in Day 2.

And lastly, my instagramed version. 

It's February 13 in Manila and tomorrow is the V-day. Happy hearts day!

"When in doubt, wear red."

Not all that glitters is gold. Some are nails.

True, because some are nails. And polishes! Whew!

I fell in-love with OPI Crown Me Already at first sight. 'Cos it's not just beautiful. It's fabulous. 

It has fine glitters and hexagonal particles that made it really stunning especially under the sun. Another thing that I love from it is, it's easy to apply; just 2 coats and ta-da!

Just don't forget that it will take you forever to remove it. So if it chipped on the second or third day, be thankful.
