     I've seen different Beauty and Butter features on beauty blogs but I haven't tried their services because the nearest branch they have (SM Megamall) before Fairview Terraces branch has opened is too far from where I live . I'm sure nail art fanatics will be giddy to try their services because I've seen amazing nail art designs from the customers who already became regular visitors of this uniquely design nail salon and spa.

NOTD: Closest Shade to Radiant Orchid

   According to Pantone, the color of the year 2014 is Radiant Orchid. It is describes as “An enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid inspires confidence and emanates great joy, love and health. It is a captivating purple, one that draws you in with its beguiling charm.”

    I'm pretty sure you've seen this nail polish color from my past post. This NOTD is courtesy of EzFlow TruGel Nail Polish Launch at the Nail Lounge Manila last October. My apologies for the late post. I just wanted to share with you the closest shade of  Radiant Orchid on my nails. The color of this gel polish from EzFlow TruGel is Frosted Amethyst. I so love this shade on my nails. It looks very dainty and neat. The shimmer adds life to the color in my opinion that's why the shade didn't look boring on my nails.

NOTD: Just Peachy

     I can't think of a good post title because the nail polish that I used here doesn't have a name at all. Have you seen or heard the brand BNC? The nail attendant said that it's a Korean brand of nail polish and nothing seems special with it. I think it's considered as a regular brand in Korea like Bobbie or Caronia. Why I choose this color? Out of dozen bold and bright colors to choose from, I still want to see my finger nails painted with sheer nude, pink or peach polish. I describe this color as a muted pink with lots of peach in it.  If I'll compare it to Orly Silk Stockings that I posted HERE, this one is bolder and more pigmented, the peach shade is more dominant than pink. Geez,  I sucked at describing colors so I hope you can help me make a better description by commenting below :)

     By the way, my apologies if the photo is grainy and the lighting is not good. I just used my cell phone's camera to take this photo. I forgot to bring my cam during my visit to Nailaholics Sm Fairview branch last week together with my sister. We had our spa bonding sesh c/o the gift certificates that I got from the #NailaholicsGateway branch opening event. What we did that day? We had our hand and foot paraffin with manicure and pedicure.

     I'm sure you're going to ask me why I didn't choose imported nail polishes like Orly, O.P.I or China Glaze? The cheapskate in me dominated that day. I insisted to my sister that we need to use the exact amount of the gift certificates nothing more or less. So we stick to this brand because it's free! Hahaha :)

     I'll be posting another NOTD this weekend and this time, it's not your ordinary nail polish. It's like a nail sticker/decals. Thanks for visiting and hope you like my post! Happy long weekend dearies! ^_^

Good Times!

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 :)

Press Release: Seche Vite™ Dry Fast Top Coat Now Available in the Philippines

     Do you go gaga over chic, cute and pretty nail colors and designs? I know most of you (including me) loves to paint our nails with bright and bold colors every week or everyday, I guess?. Can you imagine your nails colorless? Well, prettifying our nails is not that easy. We need to invest in good quality nail polishes and tools because if we don't our nails will suffer from the chemicals found in cheap nail polishes sold in the market. If you're going to ask me, it's okay to buy local brand nail polishes but some of the brands that I've tried made my nails brittle and yellowish. I hate it when this happens to my nails. It looks dry and dirty.

      But if you happen to be a subscriber of nail art gurus in you tube, I'm sure you've seen and heard this brand of nail care products most especially the infamous Seche (pronounced as sesh) Vite (veet). It's now here in the Philippines brought to us by Beauty Kingdom Inc. I'll share my experience to you on what happened during their bloggers' launch but first let me give you some important notes about Seche.

     Seche, Inc. was founded in 1991 to manufacture, market and distribute the revolutionary technology that was to become Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat. The intention from the very beginning was to provide this amazing technology to the professional nail technician. Seche Vite was the first patented single procedure non-yellowing dry fast top coat for nail polish that dried and protected the underlying nail polish much faster and created a more durable shield than anything on the market at the time and even to this day. It is still, after more than a decade, the finest and most highly acclaimed top coat for nail polish in the world. Seche Vite is the only truly clear non-yellowing top.

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.
