On most days, I paint my nails with bright, attention-seeking colors. But on days where I need to add a dash of sophistication to my nails without looking over-the-top, I stick to neutral, soft tones. One particular shade that I enjoy using lately is Essie Lady Like Nail Polish.

NOTD: OPI Fit To Be Tied Nail Polish DUO #1: Emotions and Its Frosty Outside (Liquid Sand)
You would never see me jumping in joy over a matte nail polish. Quite a bold statement really, but it's the truth. You see, I like my nails looking glossy and dimensional. Yes, despite the gritty feel of holographic, chunky glitters, I would choose one over a matte, boring polish any time of the day.
On that note, I came across a new nail polish finish and it tickled my fancy spot on. Introducing Liquid Sand - OPI's newest innovation in texture. It dries to a textured matte finish infused with reflective glints of light. It's matte, but with an attitude!
In my opinion, there are two red things that every woman out there should own - a red lipstick and a red nail polish. The reason being is adding a dash of the shade red amps up a woman's sexy vibe a couple bars higher. And one particular red nail polish that I have been loving for years now is OPI Color So Hot It Berns.
The thing is, I don't have all the time in the world to change my polish as often as I would like to. On that note, I need a top coat that would make my manicure/pedicure last a thousand-fold longer. But despite the urgency to get hold of a new top coat, I couldn't decide which one to get. Good thing I stumbled upon OPI Start To Finish 3-IN-1 Treatment in a recent nail event and whoa, I instantly fell in love with it!
Heads up my fellow nail polish aficionados, Deborah Lippmann just introduced Jewel Heist, a limited edition collection of shimmer, creme and mega holographic glitter that is new to her current glitter range and it's beyond gorgeous! This newest glitter finish gives a never-before-seen, high-impact reflection of a full spectrum of colors. In short, breath-taking!
I heard raves about this polish all over YouTube so when I spotted this at SM Beauty Section, I grabbed it immediately. I've worn it a good number of times already, and mind you, it never failed to wow random strangers every time. It's so bright and fun that it makes people around you swoon over it!
For me, there is nothing more lady-like than having dainty polished nails. Achieving this is easy. Just choose a pale nude pink lacquer, and you'd instantly feel like a princess or a bride-to-be. On that note, let me present to y'all one of my ultimate fave nude pink polish; - Orly Cupcake.
I love wearing purple on my nails. Add a dash of breathtaking gold shimmers and you bet, I'll be all over it. So when I spotted OPI Dutch 'Ya Just Love OPI? Nail Polish (retails for Php410) on Lazada, I purchased it immediately. And oh boy, swatches online don't give justice to this polish. Trust me, it's more splendid in person.
You see, I have this beauty lust list that I badly need to own. So I went make up shopping yesterday to scratch a few products on my list. If you've been reading my beauty babbles for awhile now, you'd probably know by now how I adore the brand Nars. With that being said, here's everything that I got!
I ordered a few nail polishes from Lazada Philippines the day before yesterday, and I already got my package today. Pretty fast if I may say, since I'm located outside the Metro. If you didn't know already, I dig good quality nail polishes. One fun fact about me is I couldn't stand not wearing polish on my toes. Having said that, I collect nail polishes and I'm happy to add these three gorgeous shades in my stash!
Hi dolls! I hope everyone is doing well despite this unforgiving (wet) weather. I miss waking up to bright mornings, so I decided to paint my nails with a fun, summery shade; - orange! Meet Orly Sol Cabana Nail Polish!
Despite the gloomy weather, I still opted to feel spring-y and paint my nails with a spectral color. Pastel colors always tend to add a little bit of sunshine to my mood so I grabbed my Orly Gumdrop and started applying it on my nails. I received this polish as a present last Christmas and for a color this fabulous, it's a shame that it was just sitting on my nail polish stash all this time; - unused and unloved. So I decided to take it out for a spin and oh boy, I'm glad I did!
It's hard to look at this polish and not wish to be in a swimsuit caressing some tropical waves. Summer may be nearing its end, but my tips and toes are still not ready to dismiss wearing fun, pastel colors. Yep, I'm still in denial phase (season-wise) and even those thunderstorms won't change that.
Want to paint your nails, but don't like to deal with the hassle of removing them? Then you're in luck because washable nail polishes finally hit the market. So give those highlighters a rest (yup, I used to do that too when I was a kid), and say hooray for these Girlstuff Washable Nail Polishes!
Tart-y For The Party is part of China Glaze Avant Garden Collection - shades that flow between soft hues and vibrant pops of color, offering an unconventional bouquet of cheerful and vivid shades. If you dig purple polishes, you need to see (and get) this!
Every now and then, we all need to indulge in a bit of retail therapy. I wasn't in my happiest mood lately, so I thought shopping (and ice cream) might help uplift my state. And as superficial as it may sound, hauling (and again, ice cream) really helped me feel better (in a way). Hopefully, you'd feel the positive vibes in this beauty haul post too. Enjoy!
If there is one polish pair that you need to get from the Nars x Pierre Hardy Shoe Inspired Nail Polish Collection, it's no other than this set. Vertebra gives you the best of both worlds; - a creamy coral and a dusty rose one which enables you to either go neutral or tropical on your nails depending on your mood. Better yet, apply both and use the coral one as an accent color for a pop of unexpected fun!
On days when I feel bored with my neutral polishes, yet still not in the mood for shocking colors, I always reach for this nail polish; - Essie Chinchilly.
From Laura Mercier's Holiday 2012 Art Deco Muse Collection, Noir Glace nail polish is an intense deep warm cocoa brown that almost looks like black in some lighting.
