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!
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.
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!
It's already the month of December; - aka the most wonderful time of the year! This means that it's time to be festive and to wear something sparkly! For the nails, I'd say drop the classic hot red pedi and wear something a little more unexpected. Lost for ideas? Then take a look at this gorgeous nail laquer from OPI Spiderman 2012 Collection; - Just Spotted The Lizard.
Lets just say that I have been buying a ton of beauty products sporadically over the past few weeks, which is why I've accumulated a ton of fun stuff to show to all of you. Enter, my long overdue beauty haul post!

I love wearing nail lacquers. You would rarely see my toes without them. Before, I love going to nail spas for my weekly pedicures. However, due to a horrible experience from a salon that led to this scenario: me lying on an operating room and having a surgeon operate on my big toe because of an infected ingrown years ago, I stopped that weekly habit and just decided to do my pedicures on my own. It might be tedious at times but better safe than sorry (again!), right? But for manicures, I sometimes indulge myself to one every once in a while.
Now the perks of my DIY commitment are: (1) Way cheaper!; (2) I learned to operate an autoclave machine to sterilize my tools; (3) I have all the reasons to scout and haul for toxic-free nail polishes; (4) I discovered so many amazing nail polish blogs and (5) Looking and organizing my nail polish stash makes me happy (seriously!).
And today, I present to you the newest members of my happy nail polish family.
