SWATCH: Testing the waters---Water Decals

Good Morning ladies! It's Saturday and I'm heading out! Will be in a film photography seminar later, really excited! =) Anyway. Last night I was too tired to do a new design on my nails. On the way home, I was already thinking about the colors, if I was gonna do some Konading or just freehand. But as soon as I got home, cleaned up, made desert for today, I was dead beat. Laziness got the best of me. I practically throwed myself to bed after all the crazy. But then, I remembered, I bought some water decals a few weeks back. With my last bit of energy pumping in my veins, I got up, looked for the decals, and prepared all the things I needed for the manicure.


After I gathered everything, I was completely clueless on what to do next. Only thing I knew about decals? Soak it in water, file the extra decal from your nail. Simple right? Wrong. I had a hard time on the first 5 nails. But that's ok, I was on the learning phase anyway. So, I applied my base coat, while waiting for it to dry, cut the decals, and placed it neatly side by side so I won't get confused and know which goes to what nail. After cutting, I soaked the first one in water, (I thought that the decal will separate itself from the paper, heck I was stupid), used the tweezer to get it out of the water, removed the paper, place it on my nail. Now this is where it gets a bit annoying. after aligning the decal on my nail, I folded the extra part, and when I was filing it, the decal slipped away from my nail. And it did that, a lot of times. I had to anchor my thumb or the finger right next to it so that it wont slip. Well that's the only thing that annoyed me. After placing the decals, I applied my top coat, and I was done! It took me about 30 minutes, inclusive of cleaning. It was quick and breezy! Alright, enough of the talk, I'll show you my nails =P







And a small loot! Yey! =)

SWATCH: BK Dark Turquoise

Hi ladies! How was the weekend? Mine was okay, I had a nice time with my boyfriend yesterday then spent my day today at home with the family. Yesterday I had the chance to go to Festival Mall, Alabang and visited a nail art kiosk there called NailVille. I would've squealed when I saw the polishes, glitters and nail art stuff but I didn't because there were lots of people walking around and I don't want them to think that I'm such a dork.


Anyway, I wasn't able to take a picture of the kiosk because my camera's battery died on me. That place is a small nail art wonderland! There were so many nail polish, nail art brushes, dotting tools, fake nails, rhinestones, glitters, water decals, hand dryers, you name it! I'll be back there in the future to buy more! =P


Some of the goodies that I got from there:

BNC 391, Nail Up Purple Glitters, BK Dark Turquoise, BK Brown Crackling polish


 Water decals (Disney and Swirly Patterns), Assorted Fake Nails



Everything costs Php600 or roughly $13! Really cheap!





 Now, onto the nails!


 I got too excited on BK Dark Turquoise that I tried it out the minute I got home! Oh, by the way, those BK polishes don't have any names so I did the liberty of naming it by looking at Wikipedia's list of colors. I think Dark Turquoise best fits the color, right?


BK Dark Turquoise - a cream based Korean polish. Application was smooth, 2 coats to make it even. Drying time was fast.




Can you say yummy? =P



Seriously, I am in love!


The first time I saw it, I knew that this was calling my name!


It's my most favorite shade of blue at the moment! How about you? Dig this color? Do you have any suggestion when it comes to naming this beautiful color?


Well, that's it for me today!
 Goodnight!



Camille
