Chic Nail Color Slay All Day Collection

Solique by GirlStuff UV-Glow Gel Top Coat Launch

     How I wish that Solique Gel Polish by GirlStuff and Solique UV-Glow Top Coat were invented during the time I'm hooked going to clubs. I'm pretty sure my nails will standout and I don't need those glow in the dark sticks and accessories just to rave. If this glow-in-the-dark top coat was invented before, I'm one happy clubber! So what's the science behind this Solique UV-Glow Top Coat?

     Well, the Solique UV-Glow Top Coat incorporates a photo-initiator that reacts under natural light with a polymer present in Solique Polishes resulting in the steadfast curing film (Gel manicure). UV-Glow also contains a fluorescent brightener which reacts under black light cause the polish to glow! To know more about this revolutionary gel top coat and highlights of the launch, scroll down please :)

Solique by GirlStuff UV-Glow Gel Top Coat Launch

     UV-Glow Solique Gel Top Coat by GirlStuff is a revolutionary gel top coat polish that is formulated to give a different kind of twist to your regular gel nail polish. You'll be surprised once you apply this as a top coat because:

• It glows in black light or UV Light
• It increases the shine on any manicure
• It gives long lasting protection on your polish, making it last longer
• It dries quickly!
• It also reacts to sunlight, changing colors outdoors!

     During the event, we were treated to an afternoon of fun and excitement as we painted our nails with GirlStuff RAVE Neon Polish Collection. The shades in this collection are perfect for summer. There are four neon shades in this collection namely: Lounge, Breakbeat, Chill, and Techno

     These fun, bright, and bold colors will amp your nails once you hit the beach and can be a pretty accessory for your outfit of the day! For my nail of the day (notd), I've chosen one shade from the GirlStuff Neon Polish collection- chill while two other shades were from Solique Gel Nail Polish collection which I forgot the shade names, bummer :( 

Solique by GirlStuff UV-Glow Gel Top Coat Launch

     I've decided to go for these shades because I want the one of the shades from the GirlStuff RAVE Neon Polish Collection to standout. So what we did was to apply them alternately. To make it more exciting, Solique by GirlStuff UV-Glow Gel was applied on top.

Giving you instructions on how to use here: For Black Light or UV Fluorescence- apply one coat on clean bare nails or over any polish. Best used on Solique Gel Polish. As a Gel Top Coat- apply one over any Solique Gel Polish. Now for some awesome magic, but it's not magic because it's true awesomeness below :)

Locycare Nail Gel Launch #BareThoseNails

     Can you #BareThoseNails? I presume the answer will not be a resounding yes but half yes, half maybe and mostly no. If you love painting your nails on a daily basis, I will not be surprised if you can't bare those nails. I'm sure that long time nail polish users are worrying about the state of their nails. Nail polishes look pretty in our nails but in the long run, it will take its toll not only in the nail bed but also on the surrounding parts like the cuticle and free edge.

     While putting on nail colors is aesthetically pleasing, have you ever thought how these products, from one application to another, may adversely affect the condition of your nail plates? Nail polishes contain chemicals that may affect the condition of your nails that's why proper care should be accompanied every time you opt to have your manicure and pedicure in at your favorite nail spa or at the comfort of your own home. Without proper care, unhealthy, dull and discolored nails will result and there are times can pose minor health risk. We don't want that to happen, right? So here's a great news for nail polish addicts! Galderma Philippines introduces Locycare Nail Gel. To know more about the product, click CONTINUE READING and join me as I #BareThoseNails!

Product Review: Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy Nail Enamel- Photos and Swatches

     Hello dearies! If you're a long time reader of this blog, I presume you already know that I'm a stay-at-home-mom, I do household chores that's why I wash my hands more than 10 times a day. With that said, my manicure doesn't lasts long. Even if I use a premium nail polish, the edges tend to chip the next day. 

     I've tried gel nail polish thrice and it lasted for 5 days to a week. For a hands-on mom like me, gel nail polish is prolly the best bet for long-lasting manicure. There are 2 things why sometimes I veered away from gel nail polish aside from weekly trips to nail salon. First, the price of the service is a bit steep for a budget conscious individual like me. Lastly, if the gel polish started to chip, I need to go back to the salon and avail the gel polish removal service or I'll let my nails grow and get an uneven polish at the bottom part of my finger nails (lunula).

    I think the solution to my so called roller coaster nail polish love affair came to life when Revlon Philippines sent me their Colorstay Gel Envy Nail Enamel. The word 'gel envy' is intriguing. Be the judge and see if this nail polish collection from Revlon fits the bill. Click CONTINUE READING to see photos and swatches of these 8 pretty shades.

Feature: French Tips Nail Parleur Fairview Terraces

     Hello all! I was invited by Sir Orgie, PR for Nail-a-holics for an afternoon of royal pampering experience at French Tips Nail Parleur Fairview Terraces three weeks ago. The nail salon is located at the 3rd level of the mall and it's my first time to visit a French themed salon that is also under the management of Nail-a-holics. What you see outside reflects the inside of French Tips Nail Parleur because the ambiance is different from other nail spa and salon themes that I have visited before. 

     The nail attendants were in a French painter like uniform and the music inside was very relaxing. It's more of classical baby! Don't be intimidated by the word "royal" because the price of their services are almost the same with other nail salons but I can say that the experience is worth paying for. To see more of French Tips Nail Parleur's interiors and the shades of nail polish that I've picked for my nail of the day, click CONTINUE READING :)

NOTD: Ruby Wing

     Happy Monday dearies! Sharing with you another NOTD today with the most recent nail polish shade that I have on my toe nails. I already removed the nail polish on my finger nails last week because the edges started to chip. But before that happened, I was able to take photos so don't worry you'll still see my finger nails painted. I'm sure you already know the brand that I used in this nail of the day post because the title says Ruby Wing. It's a new brand of nail polish that changes its color outdoor. If I'm not mistaken, this brand of nail polish is exclusively available at Beauty and Butter Nails, Face and Art branches only. When I visited Beauty and Butter Fairview Terraces branch, I opted this brand since it's summer, I will see the color of my nail polish change whenever I'm out in the sun. I'm glad that I chose Ruby Wing nail polish- it makes my day bright and fun because the nail polish transforms into a new color and it's so cool! Excited to see the shades that I picked? I'll share both my manicure and pedicure color :) So click CONTINUE READING and smile!

NOTD: Neutrals

     Yay! As promised, here's another NOTD post. I'm so excited to share the colors that I picked during my visit to Nailaholics Nail Salon and Spa last February with my sister. I think the shade that I chose is very timely for summer. Since it's scorching hot and seeing bold nail colors tend to hurt my eyes, I decided to paint my nails with neutrals. I know most of you choose neutral shades too and the more common shades are touch of tan and beige. Well, for you next neutrals may I suggest you add a touch of sophistication to your neutral shade nail polish. Why don't you try a neutral shade with purple or gray undertone? Oh before I forgot I also had my pedicure that day and chose another neutral shade that's very pretty. So without further ado here's my take on neutrals courtesy of O.P.I and Nail-a-holics Fisher Mall branch. Click CONTINUE READING to see what shades used :)

NOTD: Neutrals
O.P.I. Over the Taupe without flash

NOTD: Jada and Twill

     Happy Easter to all! Let the egg hunt begin :) So before you go out today and celebrate this special day let me share with you my first NOTD for 2014. I know it's super later post since I had this nail color last January. It's my second time using a gel polish to date and I think I already found the right kind of nail polish for my nails. My finger nails are soaked to laundry detergents and dish washing soap most of the time that's why regular and premium nail polishes easily crack and get chipped right after my manicure. I have mommy duties and I can't prevent my hands from getting wet all day long. Anyhoo, aside from my manicure I would also like to show you my pedicure because I'm really diggin' the color that I got for my toe nails. It's not gel polish though but it lasts more than 2 weeks or 1 month the most. The brand of gel nail polish that was used here is Jennifer Lynn. I'm not familiar with the brand but it's made in the US. There were so many colors to choose from and I totally had a hard time choosing because all of them looked gorgeous! Excited to see the gel polish that I chose? Click CONTINUE READING and find out more!
