My most coveted polish:FLOAM

Finally!
After months & months of waiting! 5 months to be exact I was able to get my hands on this polish. I have been lusting over this polish for a long time & i'm just so dang glad that i finally have it.


Isn't this polish a beauty?
Tiny (really tiny!they're just like periods -> .....) matte glitters of blue, yellow & yellow green makes this polish so irresistible. I mean, just look at how awesome it is!


But, one thing that you have to know about this polish is that application is such a biotch!

I had to do 5 thick coats to achieve that effect. One important thing that you have to also take note when applying this is that you have to let them dry completely before the next coat, so yeah, this is a very time & effort-consuming polish to don.

Looking at the brush, you'll see how not a lot of glitters are there to really have a full cover for 1 coat so you really have to do at least 4 coats to get the full effect.


Since i said that you have to apply it thickly, it also means that you'll most likely end up using a good portion of it on your finger & toenails... maybe you'll even consume like half of the bottle if you plan to do so. hahaha!

I used it on all 10 of my fingernails & i used up like 1/5? of it already...

1/5 of the bottle gone for all 10 of my fingers...?!
Ridiculous!

You be the judge....
Oh & i am going to keep this in my stash upside down like so because if you notice it most of the blue

For now, i'm just so happy that i already have this polish.
Yay! So, im gonna leave you with 2 more pics of it.


I have to maximize the use of this through pictures, no?


If you are interested in buying this, head on over to NinjaPolish & look over all the Floams that are available there. I just choose the classic floam because that is what i have been wanting ever since.

There ya go...
Hope you are having a fun Tuesday!
Jaa ne~!

Ebalay Nail Polish in A01

Swatch time again~
Im down to my last Ebalay polish.. it's A01.


I layered this over a black polish to show the effect so i'll let you judge this by yourself.


This is how it looks like when light shifts...


The duochrome effect is not that obvious unlike other Ebalay polishes but still very pretty!

Spotted: OMG Strobe & Disco Ball~

Whip out your pumps because you will be ready to party as your nails don on the newest flaky & glitter polishes that OMG! (my favorite local polish brand) has released.


Love the shade names!


It just means that they are meant to be together..hehe
Here are some swatches:


Left: Disco Ball underneath a burgundy base polish
Right: Disco Ball & Strobe together under a black base.

It's so hard to capture the beauty of Strobe just because the flakes are really unique by itself so here are a couple of pictures for you to judge.


Since the bottle shot of Strobe is just a plain base so i decided to swatch it aside my other flakies too. Left one is Sally Hansen Glass Slipper then Essie Shine of the times. They look alike on the bottle but not when swatched.


Strobe is more like a bronzed, rustic flakes that makes it really unique!


You have to get these 2 polishes! I'm sure you'll love them!
I bought them at Hortaleza for only P18...really cheap!!!

Hope you'll have a great day!
Jaa ne~!

Franken Polish:Lilac Upbeat

Another short post..
I wanna share my latest franken polish that i decided to call as Lilac Upbeat.


A lilac jelly polish generously smothered with colorful hexagon glitters of different sizes & a light smattering of colored flitters too!

I haven't really used this yet because i don't feel like applying nail polish for now but i have been frankening polishes for the past couple of days. I mostly just do holo topcoats though.
I just feel like making bottles of holographic topcoat. Holographic topcoat can make your most hated creme polish into something really fun & funky!

Well, that's it~
^_^

Have a happy evening,ladies!
Jaa ne~!

Ebalay Nail Polish in A04

Polish Swatch time again~!

Another Ebalay polish since you all know how much i love duochromes, this time it's A04.
Love the pink color. It just looks so sweet!
^_^

This is over a black base polish.


It look s a bit like A09, the only difference is that this one have a more pronounced purple tint on it. It's almost violet than blurple (hahaha!).


Here are a couple more pictures for better appreciation.


The color change is a bit subtle but it looks pretty all the same.

BFF Challenge:Movies

This week's theme was chosen by Alyssa.

Let's talk about movies!
I'm sure most of you like to watch movies. I'm not a frequent movie-goer but i do watch movies every now & then. i have lots of movies that i like but every time someone asks me the question "what is your favorite movie?" the first thing that will pop on my mind would be Moulin Rouge.

I love it~
If you love romance movies then you have to watch it. That's it!

I do not have an idea how i'll go about making a nail art about Moulin Rouge so i tried looking for pictures. As i did, i just saw the lovely combination of black & red so i also made a franken polish inspired by it. I'll show the nail art first.


I just had to draw the windmill.
Moulin Rouge is not Moulin Rouge if not for it,no?
I love the elephant scene so i just decided to do a part of it where it overlooks the city, hence the heart.


This is how my thumb looks like.hehe


The design are just accents, but what i am really liking in this is my base polish.
This is my franken.
I call it as dark pixie.


Originally, it is Moulin Rouge but i can't use the name for polish because there's already something like that. I was thinking of Cancan but in the end i just had to change it too so i just opted for dark pixie.hehe


I love how this sparkles under the piercing rays of the sun!
The dark magenta jelly makes this polish stand out. It's so dark it almost looks like black,no?
But it's really magenta.hehe

Here's a close-up of it.


I must make more of these polishes, they look really pretty!

You can check out these ladies doing the same challenge with me:

Until this saturday for the next BFF Challenge.
Have a great day,ladies!

Ebalay Nail Polish in A06

My favorite duochrome polish!
Another Ebalay swatch for you all. If you haven't tried duochrome polishes, you have to. It's like having 2 color on your nails all at the same time.

Again, duochrome polishes look best underneath a black base, so this swatch is done under a black polish.


It looks a glittery plum on a certain angle but once you tilt your nails & it caught the light, then that's when the magic starts!


Look at that green-ish tint almost screaming at you!
Here's a close-up for your inspection


Duochromes are great,no?
hahaha

Ebalay Nail Polish in 007

Another Ebalay Polish for you to drool at!
LOL!


I've been mentioning for a long time how i love the Ebalay Polishes, now i'm gonna present another one, this time it's in 007.


Just look at the color change happening right there & then!
You can clearly see the duochrome effect this polish has when layered over a black polish.


Here is a zoomed in version of it....
Pretty!


Now i'm gonna show you the awesomeness of duochrome polishes once it's under the water.


Now tell me if that doesn't look gorgeous or not?!
I mentioned before that i had tried using Ebalay when i frankened my midnight holo polishes. You can check here HERE. So i'm gonna try frankening with this some day too.

Rainbow Favorites Challenge:PURPLE & PINK

Last part of the Rainbow Challenge & i am soooooooooooo late! OMG!

I already made a recent post about my favorite plum polish. But this time i'll be sharing my favorite purple holo!

I own a couple of holo polishes but this one is something that always dazzled me when i put it on.


Milani 3D Holographic in Hi-Res!
Here's a blurred shot to appreciate the awesomeness of the holo chunks!


My camera is not that good in capturing holo effect.
In fact, my camera is not cooperating now.
I can't seem to capture good pics lately. So please bear with me. *sigh*
The service center for my Samsung is quite far from where i live..tsk!

Anyway, here is my favorite pink for now...
It's from Catherine Arley in 645.


I know my pic is awful... but this one is a really gorgeous pink speckled polish.


I have to do a separate swatch post when i had my camera fixed.

Well, with that The Rainbow Challenge is over.
I'm so looking forward to the next Ultimate Blogger Challenge!

Hope that you had a great start for this month!
Jaa ne~!

Rainbow Favorites Challenge:GREEN & BLUE

Sorry, my internet was down yesterday so i wasn't able to post my favorite green so i'll just include the 2 colors together. I already made a post about this & they are worth mentioning again.

I love my Ebalay polishes! They are duochromes & you layer then over a dark polish, specifically black, for you to see their awesomeness.

First is my favorite green polish...

You can click HERE to be directed my original post.


Then my choice of blue is still Ebalay...
I know it doesn't look blue on the bottle but when swatched it looks awesome!


Click HERE for the original post. See the shift of colors?! Lovely!

Rainbow Favorites Challenge:YELLOW

Day 3 of the Rainbow Favorites Challenge... so we are on the third color of the rainbow-YELLOW!

My favorite is still my Island Cocktail franken.


I'm pretty partial to this just because im not that much on yellows & glitters the time i made this but this had been my favorite ever since.

I think you could understand why,right?
I applied 2 coats of this without any top coat. See how shiny it looks like on its own?!


Me like this so much!
^_^


I don't even need to put on any additional design on this just because this looks beautiful by itself already!

So,what do you think about my choice?
Have a happy Wednesday!
^_^

Rainbow Favorites Challenge:RED

I joined the rainbow favorites posted by Bec of Lacquer Dreams.
Since i don't get to post as much as i want to, so this challenge would also be a fun way to keep my blog updated at least once a week.

First color is Red.
I have a lot of reds but this is one polish that i am recently loving our local polish, Chic Grainy in Siam.


If you are not familiar with sand polishes, ill try & describe it as much as i can though it's gonna be hard because this is a whole new different finish. Excuse the dry cuticles. I just removed my faux nails so i haven't gotten around to cleaning it yet.


Basically sand polishes are jampacked with very fine yet gritty glitters that lends it a matte-ish appearance. Since the glitters are so fine it's quite smooth to the touch. I find it charming since you get to appreciate each & every one of those grains as the light hits them. They're pretty much like how tiny stars twinkle up up in the sky! Here is the close-up look.


It basically looks just like how it is in the bottle.


This is a lot easier to remove compare with ordinary glitter polishes so this is my current favorite!
If you haven't tried sand/grainy polishes yet then you have to! It's absolutely divine! It's sparkly without being ridiculously shiny that blinds you. LOL!


What's your favorite red polish?
Care to share?

Hope you all are gonna have a lucky week!
Jaa ne~!
