MUA Fur-effect Nails

I've tried Magnetic nails, Flakies, Kaleidoscope nails and the ever so famous Caviar nails. So now, let's see how fur feels like on my tips!


                           

Since I'm just test driving this out for the first time, I didn't want to put it on my nails entirely so I used it as an accent.

                           

The furs looked great as it is but I felt a bit more creative so I added stones and a few pieces of caviar beads --now that's what you call effort! Haha!

                                 


If you wanna get your own fur nails, just visit www.beautycornerph.com and see what you like from all 5 equally posh shades!

Zooey's Emmy Nails

You can always rely on Zooey Deschanel to do the quirkiest things on the classiest Hollywood events. On the last year's Golden Globes, she did a funky Tuxedo design on her tips.

                         


 Earlier this year, she wore this Film Strip design.
                           
                                         

And at the recently held Emmy's, she showed up again with yet another quirky set of tips. And I won't let it pass without recreating it!

There's a new brand in town: BYS Cosmetics

I dropped by the Mall of Asia Department store yesterday for a little make up fix and guess what I found. BYS, an Australian cosmetics brand, is now here in the Philippines! I have been hearing good things about it, especially about their nail lacquers.

BYS has a wide variety of products. From colourful nail polishes, to a bunch of eye shadow palettes, face products, eye liners and even accessories! I've been dying to try out their nail products, so I purchased these 3 special top coats that I've yet to try and review.

PRICES: Glow in the Dark: Php 249
                 Matte: Php 199
                 UV Top Coat: Php 199


I even got freebies! Purchase Php 500 worth of BYS products, and you will get a free compact mirror, a bracelet and a pair of earrings.

Piano Keys Nail Art

I love music. But I'm not so good in playing the piano, so I decided to show it through what I do best --nail art. What do you think?


REVIEW: Bobbie Magnet-Ficent Polish

After crackle nail polish, another nail trend really got everyone in the beauty world talking. And this is the magnet polish. It's basically a type of a nail polish that creates a 3D design just by holding a magnet against it after you apply it on your tips.

It was first introduced by the brand Nails Inc. in London and then a bunch of other international nail polish brands from high-end to low-end produced their own versions. I've been dying to get a hold and try this particular polish for months. I went online to check different brands and their prices are insane! Not to mention, I still have to pay for shipping!

So imagine my surprise when I saw these babies on my trip to the mall today. Bobbie just comes up with the best and trendiest polishes among all the local brands. And they're the first ones to produce crackle polishes in the local market as well! About these magnetic ones, I'm not sure how many shades this product comes in, but these are pretty much all the shades that are currently available at Watson's.

SHADES (L-R): VI-201, GR-101, GR-203, VI-104, BR-202

The magnet is located at the top of the cap, it's not detachable so you do have to screw the cap on right after you apply the polish, so you can use magnet. There are only two magnet designs as of the moment, these are pretty much the basic ones but it'll do. But I do hope they come up with more.




HITS:
  • the packaging is great. 
  • it comes with instructions. Well, I didn't really need any more instructions since it's pretty simple, but it would be very helpful for those who are trying this product for the first time.
  • you get a lot of product. Each bottle contains 10mL of product. The standard ones only goes for 5-8mL.
  • the 3D design shows up fast. The instructions indicates that you should hold the magnet over the nail for 5-10 secs.
  • the brush applicator has very fine and soft bristles, which gives you an even application and better control.
  • lastly, it's cheap! Each bottle costs Php 79.00. Well, not exactly cheap but compared to the prices of imported ones that ranges from Php 400-700, this is dirt cheap!

MISSES:
  • the magnets only comes in two designs(shown above), I hope they come up with more.
  • some shades are quite similar, especially the violet and the green ones.
  • it chips fast without a top coat. Well everyone loves putting on top coats anyway!

Tribal Aztec Nails

I've been spotting a lot of Aztec designs on clothes and accessories lately, that's why I thought of recreating this original design by my all time favorite nail art designer Cutepolish (visit her YouTube Channel here)  on my own tips. What do you think?

Can't choose? Then do it all!

It may seem like I did this on purpose but it really is just a product of my unstable mind and a really busted body clock. When the sun sets, that's when my awareness starts to shoot up and I feel my energy at its peak  during darkest hour of the night. In short, I did this cos I can't sleep.
