The Face Shop Lovely Mix GR501

Tiffany blue is a very popular nail polish color. You can wear it in spring, summer, and now even winter! There are a lot of Tiffany blues out there, (China Glaze For Audrey being the most famous one) but if you're looking for something cheap, then this is for you!



As I've said countless of times, I love The Face Shop Lovely Mix line. Total bang for your buck. This color is no exception. It took two easy coats which dried quickly.



Though it looks plain baby blue in the photos, it has an obvious touch of green in real life. The finish isn't ultra glossy but I kinda like it that way.

What's your favorite Tiffany blue lacquer?

Until next time! Stay polished! :)

Emerald Nails

It's never too late to sport the color of the year on your nails! Well that's just my excuse for this super delayed post haha! Here are my top emerald picks!



First is one of Butter London's most popular colors, British Racing Green. It's a kickass hunter green with slight silver shimmer. I have absolutely nothing to complain about the formula, it applied flawlessly! I used two coats. 



To give it a more 'emerald feeling', I added one coat of BYS Dazzle Me Diva. It's a sheer aqua base with tiny blue green glitter flakes. Definitely more of a topper. BYS is an Australian brand that is now available in Manila. 



Next is one of my favorite colors of all time, OPI Live and Let Die. This is a deep forest green with beautiful green gold shimmer. Totally stunning in two easy coats. If you're a dark polish lover, you'd love this take on emerald. 



For more sparkle, I topped that with one coat of teal chunky glitter from Love & Beauty. I normally don't like teal but I was pleasantly surprised at how this combo turned out. 



Lastly we have a tiny polish from Sephora called Tomorrow, Detox! Hilarious name! I didn't think I'd like this polish because it looked too frosted in the bottle but when I put it on my nails the first time today, I fell in love! It turned out to be this sultry yet sophisticated metallic green. For some reason, it reminds me of snakes.



So there you have it guys, what are your emerald nail polish picks? I'd love to know!

Until next time! Stay polished! :)

Etude House CGR702

Hello everyone! I'm in the mood for something fun today! Here's another hit from the Look At My Nails line of Etude House!



CGR702 is a bright turquoise crème. It appears slightly more green in real life than in the photos but not less bright. It's such a great pop of color! I used two problem free coats.



I cannot stress enough how much I love this nail polish line. Total bang for your buck!

Until next time! Stay polished! :)

Revlon Gold Coin

I've clearly been neglecting this blog! Time for some metallic nails to suit the scorching heat!

I've been looking for Gold Coin for months after seeing many YouTube recommendations but alas it was nowhere to be found in my local Revlon counters! Thank God for eBay!



It's a metallic gold foil with a distinct chrome finish. Application is easy, however brush strokes are inevitable. I used two coats. I mainly bought this because of the shade of gold. It's not too yellow, not too pink. A cheaper alternative to Illamasqua Swinger, Chanel Diwali, Orly Luxe, or OPI Glitzerland.



Perfect for clubbing, eh?

Until next time! Stay polished! :)

Deborah Lippmann I Know What Boys Like

So what do they like? Certainly not nail polish haha!



I Know What Boys Like is a bright blurple creme that was released last summer 2011. I bought it thinking it was periwinkle but I was pleasantly surprised to see otherwise. The formula was good, creamy and easy to apply. I used two coats. It dries pretty fast so you have to be quick with your brush strokes. It self-levels nicely.



Although this color doesn't seem so unique, I certainly don't have anything like it in my collection. And even if Deborah Lippmann is most known for her glitters, I still find her cremes impressive.

Until next time! Stay polished! :)
