Nail Polish and Nail Products thread 2

Mga sis, alam nyo ba kung hindi damaging sa nails ang nail dryer? Bumili kasi ako last month pero hindi ko pa ginagamit kasi natatakot ako haha

[stacies83221]

Like ko yung gel effect dior vernis, i bought yung basic deep red massai. Next time yung medyo beige naman kunin ko. Gusto ko rin pala ng chanel vernis in frenzy, pero ang hirap kasi nung brush ng chanel mahaba na slim. Yung sa dior malapad na rounded yung edge mas okay for me.

Ganun ba talaga yung seche vite top coat parang nagsshrink sya after? Ganda pa naman nya kasi glossy and quick-dry... Ano pa ibang top coat na super glossy and quick dry? Ty

I like the brush of dior better than chanel sis, easier to apply on the  nails especially when you use your non-dominant hand. Hirap lang hanapan ng dupe nung Frenzy kaya I am still using it.

Yep, ganun din ang behavior ng Seche Vite over my nail polish but what I do is I apply generous amounts to minimise the pulling effect. However, try Essie´s Good to Go or Formula X shine top coat from Sephora. I find them a really good alternative sa Seche Vite. Hope this helps.

^quick dry din ba sis yung essie? Yun yung gusto ko sa seche vite mabilis matuyo and glossy yung nails kaso nag shrink after ilang days.

[cherrhys]

^HK Girl by Glisten and Glow is really good.  Yun nga lang not available locally, pero sobrang ganda nito. Very glossy effect, very quick dry and prolongs the polish as well, without the shrinking. Among the locally available Dazzle Dry is also really good, 5-10 minutes lang dry na nail polish but my problem with this is half way thru the bottle it becomes really thick.  Maybe due to our weather na rin, di ko pa natry ilagay sa ref as others have tried.

[stacies83221]

^^yup fast drying din sya but not as fast as seche vite. but with the shrinking problem, this is better than seche, IMO

[artificialstar]

Saan nabibili ang Seche Vite and Essie dito locally? Just bought Skinfood Flower Top Coat but di ko pa nagagamit. Hehe.

Also, can you girls suggest a good nail hardener and base coat? Ok lang kahit different products. I'm not digging Caronia since it has DBP, Toluene, and Formaldehyde. 

[cherrhys]

Essie meron sa Rustan's. Then mga online sellers meron din nyan pati na rin yung Seche.

Nail Hardener naman try Sally Hansen or Orly.

[vain_kixie]

Where can i buy orly gel fx here in manila?

I have my own kit and i want more colors.

[artificialstar]

^^ Thank you so much sis.

I don't like Skinfood top coat. It's too thick and mas nagchip yung nail polish ko. 

[cherrhys]

^ You're welcome!  Ok din topcoat ng Sally Hansen.  Also the fast dry one from China Glaze.  Kaya lang bihira ko na makita locally yung China Glaze na brand.  If you have a way to order online (in the US or even Singapore) try the HK Girl topcoat I've mentioned in the previous post.  I've never use another topcoat since I've tried this.  Dazzle Dry is also a good one, locally available naman since may online shop sila dito.

^^ Meron yata sa mga big department stores nyan, like the Landmark and selected SM dept. stores.

After several months of not painting my nails, pinahinga ko muna kasi ang yellow na nila, i'm back to having them painted again. Gusto ko magpa-nail art but di ko alam saang nail art salon maganda.

Anyway here are the nail polish brands na meron ako sa collection ko:

1. Essie - pinakamarami because I really like the color payoff although maliit yung brush nya for me and natatagalan ako when i'm painting, ok naman sya, lasts a week. Meron din ako nung pang mattify na top coat ng Essie but di ko gusto yung matte effect. Used it once lang sayang.

2. Orly - I love Orly too because bigger yung bottles nya and cute colors! I use Sec'nDry for my top coat and for my base, yung Bonder. Works well naman but the top coat isn't as glossy as Seche Vite.

3. OPI - I have two lang, they're okay pero whenever I try to window shop online hindi ako leaning towards their collection. Palaging si Essie and Orly hinahanap ko. BUT i love their NAIL ENVY. The best nail strenghtener!

4. China Glaze - I love this too, their darker colors are great. One application is enough!

5. Seche Vite/ Seche Base - Expensive, works great as top coat but Seche Base doesn't work as a great base kasi whitish sya. Mas okay kung clear lang. For me, Seche Vite isnn/t worth it kasi ang bilis mag gloopy so you have to buy their Seche Restore pa. Ang hassle. Okay na ko sa kahit anong top coat.

6. Essence Cosmetics - DO NOT BUY. Ang bilis mag chip! Super cute pa naman ng colors Sana di na lang to ginamit ko sa trip namin sa Bora last summer. Ang panget ng nails ko. Haha.

Other brands I like are Etude House, Elianto (nag hoard ako sa Landmark nung nalaman ko na aalis na sila), Wet n Wild, SanSan..

I've yet to try Sally Hansen. Any recos?

[too_blind]

San po nakaka bili ng dotting tool nabali dotting tools ko..

[cherrhys]

^Madami sa mga department stores, usually kasama sa mga nail polish like OMG.

[catwoman]

Anong mare recommend nyo na nail polish remover? Yung Bobbie sobrang di nakakatanggal haha..kahit medyo mahal ng konti, keri lang basta madaling matanggal ang polish.

[cherrhys]

Personally, I like the polish remover of Etude. Ok din sana yung from Face Shop and Cutex but the scents are too strong for me.

[hemelse03]

hi sissies!!!

alam nyo ba kung saan makakabili ng elianto nail polish? like ko mga color ng polish nila kasi... tapos affordable pa. thanks!

[britzm]

Sino po may alam ng chrome finish nail polish. Kahit anong brand. Yung tulad ng kay gigi hadid sa met gala.

[redhead69]

Can anyone suggest a good gel nail polish aside from Orly? Recently i'm kinda addicted to nail polishes.

[sima]

^ Try mo rin sis Essie, OPI

[yellowminion]

How about matte nail polish? What brands do you like the most?
