Back to Basics

 

When I first got hooked into nail art a few years back, these would be the typical patterns I'd use for decoration. I sticked to that for quite some time, just playing with different colors. After some months, I got tired with it and resorted to the gradient color trend, which I think is really cute... and tricky to do.

Now that I went back to this "old design", memories of my early days in Youtube keep coming back that I checked out my channel inbox and found some really heart warming messages and comments. One subscriber even "reported" that another Youtuber used one of my pictures in her video and did not credit me. She sounded very concerned and even tried to bash the Youtuber for doing so. Of course I thanked her wholeheartedly and also messaged the person who owned the video. In the end, it made me feel honored about being some sort of tool in giving design ideas to people interested in nail art. I may have stopped updating my Youtube channel for a long time now, but I still check comments and messages regularly. It never fails to make my day.

Have a happy week ahead, everyone! ♥♥♥

Missing Summer

Oh how I miss the sun, it's glare, and all the "good" things that go with it. The rainy season has officially started in the country and it was even ushered in by Falcon, the typhoon that just swept Manila. :(

Anyway, to counteract the so-called bed weather, I was inspired to use summer colors for my nails so I can be reminded of the fun memories I've had during the sun-worshiping season.

 

And these are the amazingly adorable colors I used.  

Ahhh... It's Monday once again. So far, my day is going OK. I hope to carry on with this disposition until Friday. Heeeheeeheee.♥

Have an awesome week, everyone! ♥♥♥

First Crush ♥

Lovely color, isn't it? I love that Caronia, a Filipino brand of polish, is starting to have more of these gorgeous pastel colors in their collection. When I first started buying polishes from this brand, they only had the basic colors such as red, white, black, brown, gold and silver. Now, I can confidently say that they already have the colors that can be great (and inexpensive) dupes for OPI. Seriously. I have never even bought a single bottle from the latter brand, since I find them really expensive. But I'm not gonna lie that I often check out the testers from their counters because they have an amazing color collection.

Another thing I love about Caronia is its pigmented formulation. Would you believe that I only had one coat of polish in these photos?♥ Saves you time AND money. :) Awesome. :)

I sincerely hope everyone is doing well today. There's a typhoon here in Manila and I wish I could snuggle in bed with a huge mug of hot chocolate... but I'm here at work. Boooo! :(

Happy week to all!♥♥♥

Sunkissed Nails

Been liking animal print nails these days. :)

Thanks to this new Caronia polish color, I suddenly fell in love with orange.♥

I cannot believe it's already Monday! :( I want my weekend back. Oh jeez, if only that's possible!
