Nailed It. Boracay.

Nailed It. Boracay.
LOL. WTH? Can't think of any other name for this nails so whatever.


I don't like the color much though. It's kind of pretty when you see it in the bottle but when on the nails, it looks kind of dirty. NOT A FAN. I literally just had this on for like a day. Less pa nga eh.


With some color adjustments, you can see that it's actually getting kind of dirty na. I mean, not really dirty but this color is kind of more true to color than


The thing is, when first applied, it's actually gorge I don't know what happened like few hours later. It was probably oxidized or whatever if that thing actually happens on nail polishes.

I like its metallic touch though. Looks like teal in person. I don't know what went wrong though. Maybe it'll look good with some silver glitters or something. What do you think? There's something good in everything.

Nailed It. Save the Earth!

Nailed It. Save the Earth!
This is probably the most confusing color that I've encountered. You'll know why.


Like, really? WATERMELON? Really? And it's not even turning that color you see just because of the lighting or whatsoever. This is kind of true to color y'all. Hahaha


It's not that I don't like it though. I'm just confused. Haha


See! :)

Nailed It! Strawberry Shortcake.

Nailed It! Strawberry Shortcake.
Basically, these are my weapons for today. A lotion, q tip, and nail polish. 
Okay so it's 2013 and somehow, I'm tired of showing you guys my dirty done nails. Like, I want a change. So I've been hearing about this D.I.Y. technique for quite a while now and I'm sure it wouldn't hurt if I would try. So what you would do is that you would actually apply the lotion around your nails. Like, you have to avoid your nails though because the polish would just slip and wouldn't adhere to your nails if you apply them there. The purpose of the q tip is actually for easy application.


After applying the lotion, you will have a hand similar to this. All oily and that.


And after applying the polish, you might have a hand similar to my hand as shown above. The thing is I actually painted my nails carefully as ever. Oh well. I miss long nails. SOON! Okay so to remove the mess, you would be needing the q tip you used awhile ago to apply the lotion so don't throw that yet okay?


VOILA! Ain't this the cleanest picture I showed you? YUP! is the answer. LOL. And since I used lotion, I then was able to moisturize the skin surrounding my nails too! Haha


That's all! :)

Nailed It. Blue Lagoon.

Nailed It. Blue Lagoon.
Just because I really want to go to Blue Lagoon, I named this nail thingy as such.


This is what the bottle looks like. I like it. Like, personally. I wanted to change my previous nail polish with this as soon as I saw this. And I just painted my nails that time.


Veins! Yup. Hahaha. I find it scary sometimes.


And still haven't learn how to paint my nails correctly. Let me just share a story. When I was young, I don't know if it's like a Japanese thingy in general but my dad would actually hit my head like, if I didn't color the picture correctly. I'm just so glad that it doesn't apply to nail polish. Hahaha

Oh well. That's all.

More Pictures From Subic. A Look Back.

More Pictures From Subic. A Look Back.

Can we just look back for a little while? Great.

Let me just start with this. We had this as a baon for our Subic trip like, years ago. And just because it's Dukbokki, it actually attracted me.

But it wasn't that good. It's just have the shape of the rice cake and basically, sweet and a little bit spicy.

Although that's really how Dukbokki should taste like, it really doesn't taste like Dukbokki. Weird. I know.

Anyways. Can I just say that my nail is love?  I'm really random at putting dots. LOL. I can't believe my Nail Dot made it this far. Bravo!


I hope this kind of thing will be preserved. I mean, a lot of the things left to us are kind of damaged already so yeah. I hope things like this will remain like this in the future.



I don't actually know if it's legal but we crushed the chips I'm holding in the picture to a very small pieces to feed the fishes.

Look at my face for a second though. The sun is up so that's why I'm squinting like that. I don't usually squint like that. Haha



Look at them coming.

Nailed it. Pearly Shell.

Nailed it. Pearly Shell.
It's been like a week I guess. Like, since I painted my nails. I gave my nails a rest yesterday and today, I decided to paint them with another color. Since I came across the idea somewhere that when always painted with DARK COLORS, our nails have a tendency to become yellow which by the way happened a lot to me before. I didn't know back then that it was the reason behind it. I just though that my nails needed to rest and stuff. I mean, chemicals are chemicals right? So yeah, I picked up the lightest color available.


And just like what I do with the rest of my nail looks, I add glitters! I actually tried it without the glitters since it's kind of sheer and shiny already on its own but I thought adding the gold glitters will really finish off the look.


And then I added more glitters because I had the feeling that it's not all even and stuff. Which I know is hard to do by the way. MAKING GLITTERS EVEN. But yeah I just followed what my instinct told me. Okay whatever.


It's actually kind of hard to focus the camera when all the glitters' are reflecting light and stuff. But I hope you can see thru that the base color is really really pretty.

Nailed It. Change of Plans.

Nailed It. Change of Plans.
I just though that my nails yesterday were kind of off. I mean, I don't know kind of off but nevertheless off. It's probably not appropriate for some reason. It was kind of okay when I put it on the first time though. Mmmm...


I actually used this purple color yesterday and though that I would just go for the PLUM-FALL-LOOK. Whatever that is. LOL. And since I'm fund of messing things up, I decided to top it with this glitter strips thingy which I realized not the best idea. Should have put the traditional glitter thingy.


Actually, this alone I think is not bad. But whatever. I usually really have the most ridiculous idea sometimes. The nail polish actually is not really that opaque when applied so yeah I think I did 2-4 coats to achieve this color.


The thing about this glitter strips is that they can get a little bit messy sometimes. Because it doesn't really apply all the same. Unlike with the usually glitter stuff, you can't really tell. And the orientation of the strips per se is kind of off sometimes. But oh well.

Still messy though. Haha my bad.

Nailed It. Halloween Edition.

Nailed It. Halloween Edition.
I painted my nails today! FINALLY. After like, six months of rest, I was finally able to do it again. I think my skill level went down a little bit though. Too bad. LOL. Oh well. Things happen.


My left hand. So. I just used orange as my base. I actually intended to make it a base for that pumpkin effect thingy. But then it turned out that the orange I used is kind of much brighter than what I expected it to be. Oh well. But then it's all the same. It doesn't really matter. LOL.

And the violet tip on my middle finger is just a representation of fall. Ok.

Excuse the excess if you may. Haha


My right hand is a little bit more complicated to explain. LOL. But whatever.

So there you have it! Halloween Nails! LOL. NOT.


Here are the stuff I've used. And sorry for the date. Really.
