NOTD: Pretty in Pastel

     Yay to my 2nd NOTD post! I enjoy looking at  my colored finger nails again despite that it will chip after 3 days from the day I painted it with gorgeous colors. I'm not blaming the nail polish that I used, it's the dish washing liquid and detergent powder soap that I use everyday. Despite this love-hate relationship that I'm dealing with my polished fingernails, I'm still happy that I can show you pretty shades that I discovered recently.

     To tell you honestly, I'm going gaga over bold and pretty shades of nail polishes that I saw during the Seche Polish Launching and Intimate Spa Party at Lulu Nails and Dry Bar. But I'm not used to it so instead choosing bold shades, I picked a lighter color and didn't expected that it will turn out as a pretty pastel once applied on the nails. The shade that I chose from Seche High Intensity Colors Nail Polish is Prim and Proper.

     My apologies if I wasn't able to take a photo of the nail polish bottle, I totally forgot it because of my fascination to this shade. I'm a bit lame on describing colors but I dubbed it as milky lilac. Please ignore the untrimmed cuticles on my finger nails, I just let it stay there since it's barely visible in person.

     So did you find this color pretty? I'm not expecting this shade to be this pretty but upon application, voila! My hands looked young and girly. Hehehe!

     That's it for now, hope you like this post. Just comment below what shades of nail polish your expecting on my next NOTD. Have a blessed Sunday everyone!

Good Times!~

Seche Polish Launching and Bloggers' Intimate Spa Party

     Hi dearies! Let me share with you another intimate spa party that I attended 3 weeks ago with my dear blogger friend Aya of Codename Aya. It's not just an ordinary spa bonding sesh with beauty and lifestyle bloggers because it also highlighted the exclusive launch of Seche Nail Lacquer's High Colors. The event was held at LULU Nails and Dry Bar located at the 5th Floor of BTTC Centre Greenhills San Juan. If you're not familiar with Seche Nail Lacquer and you're a nail polish/ nail art aficionado then you're missing 50% of your life. Nah, just kidding but to tell you honestly I've seen nail art gurus in you tube and nail polish addicts rave this brand because of their Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat. Here's a little information about the crowd's favorite. Seche Vite™ Dry Fast Top Coat is the champion non-yellowing fast drying top coat that has had the industry abuzz for years. Seche Vite’s patented formula penetrates through the nail lacquer to the base coat forming a single solid coating over the nail plate which is guaranteed not to yellow. It goes on immediately after the nail lacquer, no waiting. Apply thickly, get a nice bead on the end of the brush, then set softly down on the first nail painted. Seche Vite™ leaves nails silky, stronger, more durable and resistant to chipping and peeling. Seche Vite™ If you want to know more about Seche Vite, please click HERE :)

NOTD: My Nails But Better (MNBB)

     And because I already went to 2 spa parties, I think I have enough reasons now to make a Nail of the Day post (NOTD). I already mused my experience on Nailaholics Gateway Mall Cubao branch opening on this post #NailaholicsGateaway. Just click the link if you want to see what happened during the sparty that I attended with Aya of Codename Aya. I really had a blast during the event. I can't imagine I went home with my colored finger nails. Finally after all these years, I was convinced to paint my nails again. If you're a long time reader of my blog, I presume that you know I'm a stay-at-home mom and I'm hands-on with my son. I clean the bottles and wash some of our clothes. Because of this, I veered away from buffing and painting my nails with bright or even neutral colors. I only cut them when they grow and that's it. I remember an incident where I had my nails polished the night before my bridal photo shoot then I cleaned my son's feeding bottle that same night. When I woke up the next day I saw my nail polish got chipped. Thank goodness my nail polish color that time was Tan so it's less visible in front of the naked eye. 

     But because I had a very nice experience with Nailaholics and love the color selection of their nail polishes, I must say from now on I will regularly do a NOTD post! I hope you're all excited as I do. So let's start with my first entry :) I choose this color because I wanted something sheer. I never expected this color to be My-Nails-But-Better shade until it was applied on my fingers nails.

Nailaholics Gateway #HamptonsParty Bloggers Event

     Two weeks ago, I received an email from Mr. Ogie Rodriguez- PR Manager for Nailaholics Nail Salon and Spa. I can't believe what I saw that time and repeatedly read the event invitation. I was very surprised when someone from one of the country's most sought after nail salon and spa invited me to the opening of their 41st branch at Gateway Mall Cubao. Don't get me wrong why I'm so happy when I received an invite from this kind of event. First, I rarely just once posted a NOTD/ Nail of the Day entry. Second, I haven't posted any random nail salon or spa session that I had in my entire blogging stint and lastly, I think I haven't published a haul post showcasing  a bottle or two of the nail polishes that I bought. So forgive me if I dance out of joy because of this invitation.

NOTD: China Glaze in Velvet Bow

     Yay finally! My first Nail of the Day post :D This nail polish came from the Let It Snow Holiday 2011 Collection. I did not purchase the entire collection. This is included from the Everyday Essentials Loot that I won from The Beauty Junkee.

     But first I will show you how my nails looks like without nail polish... I tried using the nail polish weeks ago but the application was very messy! I tried it thrice but it looks disgusting. I don't know what happened to its consistency because it had changed a bit. So I decided to go at my parents house and asked my sister Kc to do the NOTD for me. 

     I'm glad that she said Yes but this response took two weeks hence the delayed post. So here it is, China Glaze Velvet Vow in my sister's nails. I really envy the shape of her nails! It's obvious that she's the type who always take serious time grooming it. Unlike mine that is short and doesn't have a decent shape at all :(

     Pardon the chipped edges I forgot to tell her a while ago that I'm going to take a picture of her nails. She was doing the laundry when I visited my parents house. But still, the color looks great. The color looks vampy-ish :D Bella and Edward came to my mind when I saw the color on her nails.

     So whatchatink? Look at those nails, Me likey the shape and length of my sister's nails. I wish I can make mine grow like that but as I've mentioned before, I'm doing my mommy duties and I have no time painting my nails on my own.

     Thanks for dropping by! Hope you like this post. God Bless and stay safe guys :D

Good Times!~
