i'm loving nude patent peeptoe heels these days, what shade of nailpolish looks nice with these?

i have chanel rouge noir, paradoxical, frenzy, quartz.

then my nail salon has most of the essie/opi shades that are common.

so, am i doing it right?  my polish depends on the shoes i'm wearing??

help, ladies

^ If it's nude patent go with classic colors, wag pastels -- parang it becomes too young? Stick to red I would say, bright red polish.

I'd probably go with Rouge Noir and Paradoxal sis.

Planning to get myself Etude House Juicy Cocktail Gradation Nails in Love Violet and in Mint Frappe. Just waiting patiently for a sale to ease my wallet somehow.

[Pink*ladybug]

thanks ladychris17 and toocrazy

i'll go with rouge noir this weekend 

[miclen20]

i always go toa nail salon to have my nails done....but my mani only last for 3 days kaya i opted to buy nail polish like opi, orly, lippmann and chanel....

pero until now im having a hard time to polish my nails sa right hand...[textspeak!] left ko perfect na...[textspeak!] right hand nakaka frustrate...any tips?

[toocrazy]

^ Practice lang talaga. Ganyan din ako when I started doing my own nails but eventually I was able to fine tune my technique and figure out what works best for me. Now I can change polish as often as I want and go to salons lang every three weeks for cleaning. Bawi na yung gastos sa nail polish hehe!

I practiced first with the "cheaper" polishes like China Glaze until confortable na ako. Nung oks na, pati Chanel ko ako na nag-a-apply.

My personal trick: I use a bit more nail polish when doing my right hand and I just let the polish do it's job. It usually levels out on its own. Mas madami nga lang clean-up ng konti. Di lang to nag-wo-work pag streaky or too thick yung polish.

^^another tip sis.. unahin mo ang right hand mo para mas may control ka since wala pa polish ang left hand mo & pag na-mess up mo ok lang iremove. for left-handed, vice versa naman

[miclen20]

Thanks mga sis..ill do that...

[AngelicFez]

^np sis.. have fun!

[miclen20]

OMG...i had an almost perfect polish because of your notes mga sis...i love you girls....thanks alot...

doing my right fingers first is a very good idea....

[AngelicFez]

^that's good to hear sis! i'm glad na nakatulong kami sa yo

Essie and Sinful Colors have awesome color varieties but dang, their formulas are C-R-A-P.

My favorite by far is Wet N Wild MegaLast nail polishes!

finally wearing sassy's misty lilac..it's pretty..very girly

[sima]

I'm wearing Rimmel's Strawberry Fizz ... perfect color for summer

[sima]

This week's nail color is Essie Nice is Nice

I super love Essie and Deborah. Its hard to look for dito nga lang. Sa Rustans lang talaga.

For the stamps naman, you can get Konad at Harrison Plaza. They have a official store there. I suggest that you get it from Konad kasi iba talaga ang binebenta sa 168. The konad stamp is really nice and sturdy. I had mine for years na. They have special polish rin which is really made for stamping its about 180 for 5ml polish. Its really good and it appears na dark sa nails. While yung binebenta sa mga 168 na stamping polish is parang lumapot lang na nail polish. And it smells really bad, I got one to try it pero tinapon ko agad. Di rin dumidikit sa plate eh. I suggest you get a Konad topcoat na rin kasi hindi nagsusmudge yung design pag yun yung gamit. The plates are P208 each ata, while yung sa 168 ranges from P50-100 lang. Okay lang naman pero I prefer plates ng Konad parin

now sassy's berry red..in time for my birthday
