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 :)

Posh Nails Whitening Manicure and Pedicure Powered by GlutaMAX Launch

     Exactly a week ago, I was invited to the launch of Posh Nails new Manicure and Pedicure service powered by GlutaMAX. I was very excited to attend the event because Posh Nails decided to have the launch of their new service in an afternoon of dancing. It's been ages since the last time I joined an aerobics class so when I heard that it will be Zumba dancing, I immediately said yes to the invitation.

     The theme of the Zumba party was throwback to the 80's and we were required to wear 80's outfit during the event. I really enjoyed the Zumba party, actually it's my first time to attend a Zumba event. It's an afternoon of 80's music and the dance moves really made me sweat it all out! So before I share with you Posh Nails Hand and Foot Spa's newest offering that will make your hands and feet pampered to a new level, click CONTINUE READING and smile!

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 :)

Feature: Nail-a-holics Nail Salon and Spa Fisher Mall Branch

     Hello dearies! Happy Sunday to all! After being MIA for four days because I was busy preparing for Kenzo's graduation, I'm back with another feature of my go to nail salon whenever I feel the need for some nail lovin'. I'm sure you're already familiar with this nail salon because they have the most number of branches all over the metro. I was invited by Sir Ogie- PR for Nailaholics during their Fisher Mall branch opening but I wasn't not able to make it that day. So when me and my sister had a spare time to pamper our nails, we went to this newly opened branch. For those who have no idea about Nailaholics, here's a little info on their beach themed nail salon.

     What marks a Nailaholics experience is its serene ambiance inspired by affluent coastal communities, like The Hamptons. Each store is defined by blue-painted walls accentuated with white furniture and marine-inspired decor. The softly-cushioned sofa chairs seat their guests comfortably and the cozy homey atmosphere let the guests drift to sleep; leaving them to the care of highly trained nail technicians.

     Step into your coastal home in the city and indulge in a deluxe nail spa experience in your urban oasis, Nailaholics Nail Salon and Spa. Excited to see the nail polish shades that me and my sister picked? Click CONTINUE READING to find out! I'm sure you'll love the shade that I picked :)

Feature: Nail Cocktales Hand and Foot Spa "A Getaway from the City within the City"

     Last January, I was invited to witness another great place where nail aficionados can relax and have some me time. Who doesn't want to get pampered while waiting from someone whose also busy doing some me time with his ride. Didn't get the picture? Well, I'm talking about a situation where the boyfriend/hubby needs to fix or buy something for his car while the girlfriend/wife needs to get her nails done. I'm sure you already know that Banawe is a car parts/accessories heaven. So if he needs to buy or fix something there and she needs to have a mani and pedi sesh, then Nail Cocktales Hand and Foot Spa is the perfect destination for her :) This salon is only a street away from Banawe so ladies let your guy get busy with his car while you get cozy at Nail Cocktales Hand and Foot Spa!

      Nail Cocktales Hand and Foot Spa is located at TCC Center D. Tuazon Quezon City. Upon entering the gorgeous salon, imported and organic nail polishes welcomed me at the reception. I went gaga over the wide selection of imported premium nail polishes in display. They offer nail polishes from Essie, Orly and Misa while Jennifer Lynn and Cuccio for the gel polish. Are you excited to see what services and nail polish brands that I've tried for my pedicure and NOTD? Click CONTINUE READING to find out!
