It's April!

April 01, 2013 1
It's April!
I know that Graduation only happens once but this is actually my GRADUATION MONTH and I'm really really very happy that COLLEGE IS OVER for me. I survived college! Med school would be a totally different world and I don't know about that yet but while I'm not yet decided, I'm not gonna be so problematic about it. 


The first batch of my dedication and stuff. I don't know why I blurred that because you're probably not interested anyways. Pero okay lang. I'm gonna give the privacy my friends deserve. :D So I totally just wrote this awhile ago but it didn't really require me a lot of effort because you know, when you're sincere about what you're writing, you just have to go with the flow of your feels. Much like blogging.


I'm all set for tomorrow's graduation and I am so excited. Oh my inner self is actually very much ready but who's gonna do my make-up? Our call time is actually at 6:00 am and who's gonna do my make-up that early? And because I don't want to do things abruptly, I decided to try on the look I want to pull-off tomorrow.


I would like to call this particular look "I Leave it ALL to you, Michelle Phan." or maybe "Michelle Phan, you Made it ALL Look so Easy" look. I don't want to actually overdo my make-up but I'm not sure I want to look neutral too. I mean, it's not happening everyday and it's not actually gonna happen anytime soon so I want tomorrow to be at least memorable. At least. 



Oh and I also had my nails done and yeah, quite matchy-matchy with the dress that I would be wearing for tomorrow bur whatevs. So yeah, that's all I have to say for this one. I'm so excited for tomorrow. Hopefully everything would turn out fine because we hella didn't practice anything. So yeah, hope it's all good and hopefully you guys weren't fooled big time today and everything. That's all! :))

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.
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.

Nailed It. Flower Girl.

My mom actually got me two of this kind. Like, different colors of course. LOL.


This is how it comes off. Quite accurate.


Thanks to my mom's flowers for this sort of matching effect. Awesome, aye?


But then I didn't like it that much so I of course thought of topping it with glitters. Like, as always.


This is how it looks like now.


That's all! :)

Nailed It. Dirty Snow.
No idea why I named it as such. LOL. It's almost Christmas! So, relevant! Yeah? :))


I actually keep my nails as simple as possible because I'm actually assigned to extract blood from OPD patients and I don't want to distract them with my colorful or whatever nails. Also, I don't want to paint it with a very good color because I know my nails would just get dirty from probing veins and all that. 


I didn't even put a lot of layers because once I change post, I'll repaint this as soon as I can. But it's quite a pretty color, is it?


Because sometimes, I think I do a weird some sort of a gesture to show my nails. LOL.


Saw something that can disguise my boring self into a creative one. Hahaha

Nailed It. Starships.

Nailed It. Starships.
Starships are meant to fly. Yup. I don't even know what that means. But anyways.


I realized that it's kind of wiser to buy a smaller nail polish because not all of them last very long. Just a thought.


I like its dreamy yet bold effect. Anyways one thing I like about this is that there are already glitters in it so I didn't have to put on another layer of stuff. Which is kind of cool I must say.


I love it! :) I want to have it done though. Like, professionally. Maybe soon. But whatever I kind of don't want to have it done during internship because it's just not so appropriate since I'll be probing veins of patients and it's just not appropriate. Maybe during my board exam review or something.

That's all.

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.
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.
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.
