Caronia Celebrates its 50th Year

Hi loves!

Do you remember what nail polishes you first purchased when you started your journey with beauty products, particularly on nail care? I remembered mine and it was during high school. One of the bottles I purchased was a cute pink shade from Caronia. I remember I was fixed on buying one from this brand because it was so affordable and that among the brands available , it offered the most number of shades.

I feel like Caronia has played a role in the lives of most Filipino beauty enthusiasts when it comes to prettifying in general, discovering our own style, and showing our personality when it comes to our physical appearances. Personally, I think I've owned more Caronia nail polishes compared to other brands of nail colors. Until now I have some in my collection. Oh! Fun fact, it's named after a luxury ship!

So if you're just like me who have/had Caronia as part of their beauty journey, then Caronia invites us to celebrate its 50th anniversary with a new set of collection.

NOTD: Phoenix eggs

Hello loves!

It's NOTD time! Haha!

The nails I'm sporting today is how I envision how phoenix eggs would look like. Fiery with a touch of sparkly magic! Haha! 

I used these two glittery polishes to get the effect.

Girl Stuff Nail Polish in Sparkling Maroon
The Body Shop Colour Crush Nail Colour in Sequins Gold
ORLY TOP2BOTTOM Basecoat + Topcoat

I used Sparkling Maroon first then applied Sequins Gold on top. I used the Orly polish for my base and top coat.

I am really loving Sequins Gold polish because it can make my nails look more exciting with the burst of glitters. The contrast of the black and gold gives an elegant tone to it as well.

What do you think of this NOTD?

Cheers,

NOTD : Gold Sequins

Hello dearies!

Check out my simple NOTD with a touch of glitter glam!

It looks better when you see it up close while moving. You get to see each glitter shine!

The star of the NOTD is actually a gift from one of my closest blogger friends, Helen of Lucky Citrine. It has been more than a year since we saw each other so we planned to have dinner along with Liz so we could catch up. She brought along two products for me as gifts and I absolutely love them! One is the The Body Shop Colour Crush Nail Colour in Sequins Gold, which I am wearing in this NOTD, and the Nature Republic Nail Remover.

For the base of this NOTD, I used the Holika Holika Magic Pop Nail Dazzling in Glam Muse.

I only used two coats, but if I want a more solid gold finish, I have to add one or two coats more.

I thought of using a gold base so that it will compliment the gold glitters but I think that The Body Shop Colour Crush Nail Colour in Sequins Gold would look amazing in dark nail polish like black or deep purple.

So what do you guys think?

Cheers,

NOTD : Girl Stuff Nail Polish in Turquoise

Hey loves!

I went to SM San Lazaro a few weeks ago and it's been a while since I visited the place even though our house is only 10 minutes away. While strolling around the mall, I saw that they have a Girl Stuff kiosk there. I've only tried a handful of their products because I don't often hang at the branches they have that I knew of so I'm very happy that they have one now that's so close to where I live.

Anyway, while I was browsing the available items, there's one shade that caught my eye!

I just love that color! The bold, metallic turquoise color with very fine shimmers just made me fall in-love instantly.

So below are more photos of my NOTD. :)

Would you wear this color on your nails? What's your favorite Girl Stuff nail polish shade?

NOTD: Maybelline Color Show in Crazy Berry

Hey guys!

I had a tough time getting home because of the sudden downpour of heavy rain. Good thing I brought the car with me so I didn't have to brave the flood around UST.

It was an hour and a half drive for something that was supposed to be sometime around 15 minutes. The traffic was just crazy! But thank goodness I got home safe.

Anyway, I just wanna relax now that I am home. So for tonight, I'll just share a quick NOTD which I actually applied while I was at work. (Shhhh! Don't tell my boss! LOL)

This is my newest nail polish, the Maybelline Color Show in Crazy Berry.
I bought it for Php 99.00 at SM Mall of Asia Department Store.

I bought the shade because I think I don't have this color yet and also because I wanna try this Color Show variant from Maybelline.

Now that I have applied it on my nails, it sort of reminds me of an eggplant. LOL Well, that's one of my favorite veggies so I guess that's fine. Haha!

So what do you think of the shade? Do you have a favorite among the Color Show nail polishes from Maybelline?

Cheers,

NOTD : Sei Bella Nail Color in Peach Frost

Hey loves!

One of the products I got when I visited my relatives in LA is this nail polish.

Sei Bella Nail Color

The brand was unknown to me 'til it was given to me by my cousin (Thanks, Ate E). 

The shade is Peach Frost.
I got more excited to try it out when I saw that the shade was peach—a favorite color of mine. :D

Some info on the box

Here's the nail polish bottle.

And more pictures of my nails with the polish.

It blends with my warm skin tone even if it's light and frosted. It looks very elegant and clean. It looks good alone but I think it would look better with a french tip or a nail art! Any design you can suggest for me to try? :)

Cheers,

NOTD : Deborah Lippman in Mermaid's Dream

Hey everyone!

One of the products I got when I bought the Sephora Favorites Summer Stash is this...

A Deborah Lippman Nail Polish.

It's my first time to own a product form this brand. I was actually unaware of this brand before I saw it at Sephora last month.

The shade I got is Mermaid's Dream.

Check out my nails with the nail polish on!

I just love the matallic + glitter combination. It really looks like mermaid colors.

The colors are perfect for summer. Too bad it's already the rainy season here in the Philippines. LOL

So what do you think of the shade, Mermaid's Dream? Do you own Deborah Lippman products? :)

Cheers,

DAWN
