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.

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...

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.

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! :)

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

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 wha...

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 orie...

Okay so we are not actually allowed to paint our nails. Technically! The MedTech intern coordinator in our laboratory actually said we are allowed to paint our nails. ONLY NATURAL THOUGH. And I was like...ARE YOU EFFIN KIDDING MY NAILS? So now I decided to paint my nails. Ha! Nope. I WISH! I like the principle of that MATTE BLACK AND BLUE thingy. Although my nails would probably look unhealthy with that on. Nails should be a little shiny and stuff but it's kind of scary to look at it mattified like that. But I still think it's gorgeous and would definitely try it SOON. I also love the principle of that violet thingy. The black portion. I wonder what's on the THUMB though. The PINK LEOPARD IS JUST SO TIMELESS. I want! Aren't they SOOOO pretty? Honestly, I haven't done so much artsy nail stuff but I definitely WILL. Probably when I go to Japan or something. THEY DO ALL THE COOL STUFF THERE. Might be a little expensive though. But it's good to get...

LOOKS NICER, RIGHT? MY SOLUTION TO MY LACK OF EXPERTISE PROBLEM. YUP!

These are not new by the way. Thanks Angela for this gift way back what? 2010? Thank you! :) I must say that I like the formula of these nail polishes mainly because its smell isn't that strong/annoying and actually, it's very tolerable and if you're not actually very sensitive, there's a big chance that you won't be able to smell it. Which I find very helpful and very nice for the manufacturer to even consider that. AWESOME NAIL DOT PEN FROM ANGELA TOO! :D I KNOW IT'S NOT PERFECT BUT JUST TO SHOW YOU GUYS. CHECK THE STAINS! LOL     Although it may look very pretty, I have an issue with this particular product. It's just that it doesn't look as pink as it is in the bottle than that when applied on the nails. It's very much lighter on the nails. You can coat your nails 3-4 times if you want to achieve this kind of color which is a lot of work. If you ask me. Although 2 coats will give you something that's not that bad b...
