NOTD2 (Nails of The Day)

This is actually my second installation for my NOTD Series. Lol. So I got bored, then I decided to just paint my nails earlier. I won't talk much. I'll just show my newly-painted nails to you. I saw the design on Google and I think I can do it naman hehe. So here it is!

For the materials...

I am using three kinds of nail brushes, the one I used for this nail art is the dotting tool, then for filling in the heart, I used the one which is slightly wide then I used the pointed brush for painting the heart beats. I bought the brushes on Divisoria. I forgot the price but it's between PHP200-PHP300, I think.

For the polishes, I used Sansan in French White and my old Sally Hansen No Chip 10-Day Nail Color in Rose.

 It's really simple to do this heart beat nail art and even without steps, I guess anyone could do this. So first, color your nails white. San San Nail Polishes dry fast enough so it does not took me lots of minutes to wait before designing my nails.

The photo above is the result for two coats since a single coat can't fill in sparse parts.

Next is, designing the heart beats using the pointed brush from BK, leaving my accent finger undone. Doing the heart, for me, is the hardest part since I can't draw a perfect heart on my nails. What I did was this: using the dotting tool, I patterned it like a heart so when I used the wider brush, I could just easily fill in the inside of the heart.

The photo above shows the heart unfilled yet.

My heart still looks a bit disoriented hahah. Anyway, for an amateur like me, I think that will do.

So yeah, isn't this easy? Do this for yourself and tell me how's it! Happy blogging!

#NOTD1 (Nails of the day)

Lovely afternoon, everyone! Just wanna share with you guys my colorful but not so colorful(?) nails of mine for today! I'm just in the mood to paint my nails and guess what, this is my first-ever nail art that I did right in my entire life, so yeah, I hope you like it just how I do! Keep scrolling! >:D

Here's what you'll need to achieve the design!

Of course you will need a base coat before you put on the base color to avoid stains which is definitely hard to remove! You don't want that obviously. Currently, I am using San San Nail Hardener as my base coat. You can get it for only PHP37 at any HBC stores nationwide. For my base color, I used Cutex in Black (PHP50). Then, for my second coat, I used Cutex Nail Polish in Pure Cotton (PHP50) and Sally Hansen in Impatiens (I forgot the price). I could use another Cutex Nail Lacquer, but I found this Sally Hansen first on my stash so yeah. And of course, don't ever forget to use a top coat after everything's been dried up to prevent early color chipping!

For the design, you can use  single or two brush (the smallest and thinnest best work for me though.)

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

It's hard for me to explain everything but I'll try my best though. So first, just color your nails black. When dried, using a nail brush, create a wide V-shape on the middle part of your nails then fill the gap with your preferred color. Let it dry. Do the same thing as you've done with the second coat for your third coat then fill everything in. After it's all dried up (seriously, everything must be dried up first or the color would smudge when applied with the top coat), cover everything using your preferred top coat to seal in the color and add shine to your nails.

I don't claim to be any expert in painting nails and this nails art seem to be so much far from nails-that-are-done-by-a-pro. You can see that it isn't neat enough but I'm working on that. Hoho! Anyways, make sure that the previous coat is dried well enough that it won't smudge when touched by the brush. So basically, it took me an hour or two to finish the nail art as I don't have a nail polish dryer.

Share it when you tried it! Have a nice day, beauties! Happy blogging! xx

Part III: My Ebay Haul

Because I will probably be busy this coming week, I will be writing another blog post today to make up for my soon lack-of-new-post blog. This post will contain my ebay haul part 3!

This set is composed of pouches from Estee Lauder, sleeping masks from Roxy, callus-remover and foot paddles from Sally Hansen, clip lamp and other things intended for trial purposes from Etude House and Sally Hansen.

Here's some snapshots of the items!!!

Estee Lauder Lisa Perry Limited Edition Cosmetic Pouch (P149.96)

This is my second cosmetic pouch (same design which I got on my first purchase). I actually didn't get this pouch from the auction. I bought it from it's original price and just substituted it from the Marc Jacobs pouch because that is a lot smaller than this and I don't know where to use it. At least, by getting this one instead, I could have a reserve pouch when I needed.

Fashion Women 3 Zipper Coin Wallet/ Purse (P16)

I gave this one to my friend. No, I mean she actually bought it from me since I do not know where to use it and I've got lots of pouches already. Nonetheless, the pouch is of good quality and I just bought it for P16! Quite a steal, right!?

Roxy Eye Sleeping Masks (P12-P20)

This will be great on overnights! Hahahah! I placed a bid on them just because I wanted to have some. I actually bid for another one to give away to my friends on our overnight! Hahahah.

Sally Hansen Just Feet Foot Paddles (P10-P39)

I've bought two of these since it would be great to be used for my diy foot spa. However, when I opened one of them, the file just happened to fall out, I needed to re-glue it :(

Etude House AC Clinic Skin Care Kit Sample Set Acne Pimple Solution (P14)

I had to throw this out since it does not have any expiration date printed on it. I also don't like the minty scent of it although it smells just the same as the ones in the tester tubes of Etude House. Nonetheless, I do not want to risk anything as it might cause me to break out just because I didn't mind it having no expiration date.

Ped Egg Foot Smoothing Callus Removal File (P16)

I am yet to try this out. However, it looks promising though as it was viewed on television before. For that, I really do expect a lot from this product. Hahah!

Sally Hansen Medicated Zero Bumps Pads For Bikini & Underarm (P21)

This is one thing I hate the most in all my ebay purchases! It is, no doubt, expired since 2010! I have no idea why the seller still posted this one when it is already unusable! I did not complain about this though as I've paid P21 only for this and even though I asked for an exchange, I don't think they would be giving me unexpired tubs. Anyways, I won't be buying products that expires anymore from them. I know better now!

Adjustable Mini LED Clip Light Folding Reading Table Light (P37)

See the clip at the base? It already broke when I tried to clip this on a book. And now I don't know where to use it anymore. Maybe on rotating brownouts? Ha-ha.

So that's the items for Part III: My Ebay Haul! Stay tuned for more hauls! You can visit 2012Louie25 if you want to bid/buy the items mentioned above! Happy blogging! xx

Love,
