My gel manicure and pedicure experience...

Last Wednesday was actually my third gel nails experience. I had my first one in one of the poshest nail salon almost two years ago. I said to myself that I will never ever indulge myself again into gel polish but I was wrong! I love the fact that gel polish are more bonded to your nails , if done correctly and with the use of really quality ones. I had my first experience at Dashing Diva and I love it! It cost me pricey for both manicure and pedicure. They cleaned the nails well and cured each layer by UV nail dryer. And yeah it was really awesome each time I looked at my nails they were still intact and shiny. If not for the cracked polish after about...hmmm...if I remember it right...3 weeks?! Wow! 

Then the second time was on my birthday month. I had the urge of doing my own French tip but I gave up since I wanted the white lines to be even.... so I headed to a nail salon. Too bad, the nail salon I went to which offered a big discount for my birthday month failed to perfect my nails.The day after, I already saw a chipped polish! My experience with them was a bit inexpensive so I guess the poor quality came with the price .

Then this time I was in search for a good nail salon and spotted "Nail it!". It was not so perfectly classy but the place was clean and simple in the color scheme of white,lavenders and lilacs.I love the fact that I sat on a big relaxing couch with plenty of pillows ang updated fashion magazines. Then I asked  them to have my nails in French tips because I wanted them to look clean and simple. No fuss over colored ones. I just needed this.I guess I'm just into nude ones. 

Here are my nails after ...

Day two...


Yeah I know... my feet are overworked and they looked dry and old:-( I'm never really into feet scrubs and lotions hehe..

And day three, today...


 Still intact and beautiful with all the washing and other household chores. This salon used Orly gel nail polish on me and two well-trained staff attended to my nails and needs. My manicure and pedicure cost me about  1,450php plus tips. I guess I'm happy with the service and of course the outcome. Will I come back? Yes of course! I love the fact that when I come back for another session , the polish removal will be free of charge which I heard some salons charges clients separately.I really think they did a great job with my nails and they were fast and efficient:) 

***Note: This is not a paid advertisement or even a freebie which I was asked to write about.I simply love to share with you my experiences.

New powder foundation discovery!

I have been searching for my new powder foundation as Kate Tokyo discontinued my fave😞(see the black case) Sorry for the ugly dirty case as it was stuck inside my drawer for a long time.Anyway, a friend told me about SilkyGirl make up! She told me it's really making her look flawless! Which I think it is! I bought my own powder foundation at Robinson's Galleria and oh,wow, my friend was right! I don't even need to use concealer. I know some people prefer to use liquid but I tend to use matte powder foundation because it gives me that polish and clean look.  I chose the cute Magic BB Oil-Control Pure Fresh Powder All-In-One because I don't have to use any concealer.  Comes in a small cute plastic case that fits perfectly in my palm. It has SPF 45 which says:  Shine-free Matte finish Long wearing Fragrance-free Formulated for Asia Skin I got the number  01- Fair because of the yellowish and light tone. Will post pics when my skin adjusted to my natural color... I'm s

Temptu Airbrush Make up

This make up was done a few years ago with the use of airbrush liquids specifally this brand Temptu. Check them out at  https://temptu.com/ .  I've started doing airbrush 2007 when I thought there was a need for it. I was looking for alternatives on make up brands that would actually mimic a flawless skin. My first machine and airbrush set is OCC or Obssessive Compulsive Cosmetics still from the US but I just heard the business closed down this year though.Too bad the make up was good.  Here in this look, I created a high-definition effect using all Temptu liquids. Mixing everything from eyeshadows to bronzers. The eyeliner and  lipsticks were manually done with make up brushes though as they tend to be very precise and detailed. The eyebrows were stenciled but blended well. The lashes were also attached after all the make up were done.

Bridal Make up Beauty Transformation

II'm back again! I'm sharing this video and photos with you!  These were taken on  my sister's wedding day! My sister and I had the greatest make up session in our lives! Imagine us, sisters who bonded on the last hours before she says "I do". We just laughed and cried!I will never forget this moment!  I chose not to do a neutral or earth-tone look as I was eyeing a look that's a little both dramatic and ethereal. I asked Jay, my trusted hairstylist and friend to do her beautiful braided hair. Products used: Temptu Airbrush Foundation and Blush   temptu.com Loose Powder Foundation to set:  shuuemura.com Eyebrow gel creme:  macprocosmetics Eyeshadow colors:  viseartparis.com Lipcolor:  stila.com #beautytransformation #bridalmakeup #hairandmakeup   Before (bare faced no make up except eyelash extensions)  After (straight from my phone camera)  And these are photos from the photographer , Ralph Alejandrino.
