San San Nail Polish In Violet Gleam Swatch & Review

Hello guys! It's February, the month of love! So it's somehow a good time to pamper by giving yourselves good manis and pedis especially if you are supposed to be going out with someone haha ya know what I mean! But that's not the reason why I changed my nail polish today since I don't have this someone right now to go out with.

It's been two weeks, I think, since I last had my diy manicure because I'm doing this National Museum campaign for my midterm in Public Relations so I really had minimal time for myself the past week. Ugh! We just presented last Saturday, thank God my team's already finished!

So anyway, for today, I painted my nails using San San Nail Polish in Violet Gleam!

What I used for my manicure today: L-R: Caronia Nail Hardener & Base Coat for 49php, San San Nail Polish in Violet Gleam for 37php, Chic Two-Way Nail Art in Ivory for 33php, Caronia Fast-Dry Top Coat for 49php, and Caronia Kwik-Dry & Cuticle Conditioner for 49php

If you read my previous posts, you'll know that I love purple shades! And that's what pushed me to buy this color instantly as I see it on HBC shop near our house!

The bottle's so cute, right? I actually love the metallic silver thingy on the handle of the bottle. And it doesn't look cheap though I bought it for less than a dollar! Can you believe it!?

And the color payoff is really amazing! I used two coats for my polish and it dries with instant glossy look you need not to use a top coat!! One coat will do actually but I added another for longer color life.

Notice that I designed my accent finger a somehow leopard look. This has been my first time to design my ring finger like this so bare with me if it looks not like those professionally applied leopard nail arts. And sorry for the blurred picture. I used a low-pixel-led phone cam for this. :(

More photos!!! I'm sorry I just love the packaging and color of San San Nail Polishes that I have at least 20 colors on my stash now!

If you can just see the ingredients, you'll know that it's Toxic-Trio free meaning that it is safe for our health! And they dry fast enough as well!

I'm not yet satisfied with my mani so I put on extra matte top coat to achieve this awesome look since I noticed that little bubbles appeared upon drying the polish so I added this! Though San San Nail Polish in Violet Gleam created bubbles, the matte top coat perfectly hid them!

So that's it! Like the color? Leave a comment if you had the same experience with San San Nail Polish! Happy blogging! xx

Love, Hanna

Bobbie Premium Nail Creme in Cheeky and Matte Review

Hey, it's Hanna! I just wanted to share with you my current nail color! It's actually been five days since I had my nails done. I just wanted them to breathe for at least a few days since I have been coloring my nails nonstop for months. Ultimately, they resulted to a really dark-stained nails. Ugh!

Anyway, the stains are still evident, but I couldn't wait any longer. I wanted to search through my stash already and find a shade which would give me some good vibes! Just remind me to change my base coat, because it does not work in protecting my nails from dark polishes.

So for my mani today, I use (in order of using): Caronia Nail Hardener & Base Coat, Bobbie Premium Nail Creme in Cheeky, Caronia Fast-Dry Topcoat, Bobbie Basic Top Coat in Matte, and Caronia Kwik-Dry & Cuticle Conditioner.

I wish I could show them to you, unfortunately, some of the photos in my blog got deleted and a lot of posts have been affected.

Procedure:

After applying the base coat (I seem to cannot paint my nails without it as it makes me feel naked lLOL), I painted my nails with Bobbie Premium Nail Creme in Cheeky. I let it dry for at least 10 minutes. Then I applied a second coat to make it last longer. Allowed my nails to dry. Then, I applied the Caronia Top Coat for a glossier finish. Applied one coat of Bobbie Top Coat in Matte. Then the Caronia Kwik-Dry for faster drying and smudge-free nails! And then, tada!!! I now achieved a purplish gray nails! It also has micro-shimmers. Sorry, my camera just can't capture them! :(

Bobbie Premium Nail Creme in Cheeky--What I like:

• affordable for just only PHP36
• highly pigmented in just one coat (so far the best polish from Bobbie that offers me good color payoff)
• widely available in any drugstores nationwide
• toxic trio free
• dries quickly
• does not create bubbles or ugly streaks
• the brush just easily fans out making application easier
• doesn't chip easily
• doesn't make my nails yellow
• with super cute holo microshimmers

Bobbie Premium Nail Creme in Cheeky--What I don't like:

• couldn't think of any!!!

Bobbie Basic Top Coat in Matte--What I like:

• gives my nails just the perfect matte
• affordable for PHP36 also
• formula's the same with other Bobbie Nail Cremes

Bobbie Basic Top Coat in Matte--What I don't like:

• can be very streaky if you don't know how to apply polishes on your nails
• dries quick so you have to work double time

Verdict: Get yours now! If you love painting your nails often but do not want to spend a lot, this is your best option! It comes in wide variety of shades in which you could choose from! I often stumble upon seeing displays of Bobbie Nail Cremes in Watsons because all of the shades look great and you can hardly choose the best of the best!

Bobbie Nail Polish Solvent and Correction Pen Review

For my January Haul, I included these two products from Bobbie - best known nail polish brand producing premium yet affordable nail cremes in the Philippines - the Bobbie Nail Polish Solvent and Correction Pen!

BOBBIE NAIL POLISH SOLVENT

If you love painting your nails like me, you've probably experienced this terrible moment when you have found out that your once-perfect nail polishes gone gooey - creating streaks and bubbles as soon as you apply them on your nails. This is a common scenario and you could only think of saving them. No need to worry because the fix is just so cheap and easy. Give them a second life and save your money.

Pros:

• It's very affordable at PHP29 for a 30ml glass bottle. Way cheaper than competitors.
• Comes with a plastic seal which helps prevent drying.
• It really dilutes your old thickened polishes in just a few seconds.
• It's toxic-trio free.
• Available in many drugstores nationwide

Cons:

• It's messy when poured into old nail polish bottles. I hope it comes with a medicine dropper instead to avoid spillage.

BOBBIE NAIL POLISH CORRECTION PEN

Got shaky hands? Worry no more! Because all those unwanted mistakes can be easily removed with this correction pen from Bobbie! If you love trying out different nail arts and accidentally paint the part on your nails that should not be painted, they can be easily removed with this pen! As an amateur nail artist, it's my biggest challenge to make my nails look like it's done by a pro artist, and I think it's not impossible with the help of this product.

Pros:

• Affordable at only PHP39.
• Can be used easily since you can hold it the same way you are holding a pen.
• Definitely functional and ergonomic.
