MERRY CHRISTMAS

2011-12-18T03:51:00.000-08:00

Hi guys,sorry I've been MIA for a while.. I've been busy with my family and relatives and with my new hobby photography... Anyway, Christmas is just around the corner, one
week to be exact... One week before the birthday of our savior Jesus Christ... How do you celebrate your Christmas? AsChristians, we celebrate it by praising and thanking Jesus Christ for coming and saving us all from our sins... That is how much he loves us... It's time for us to return his kindness and love... Most of us celebrate Christmas by spending time with our loved ones, exchanging gifts, and being kind to others... We sometimes overlook the real meaning of Christmas. It is the birthday of "Jesus our Lord and Saviour". We should praise, greet, and thank HIM first before we do all the other stuff we got used to doing every Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone! Hope the true spirit of Christmas be upon us everyday!

Nail art I made for my sister.

I also want to share my All Saints Day pictures with my family! We went to mt. Samat together with my 2 sisters... I also included some vacation pictures..

Mount Samat

Dambana ng Kagitingan

Mount Samat (Tagalog pronunciation: [samat]) is a mountain in the town of Pilar, Province of Bataan, in the Republic of the Philippines. Located on the summit of the mountain is Dambana ng Kagitingan or Shrine of Valour, a memorial shrine complex built to honor and remember the gallantry of the Filipino and American soldiers who fought during World War II.

Consisting of a colonnade and the huge Memorial Cross, the sentinel of Bataan, the park was commissioned in 1966 by then President Ferdinand Marcos, aWar Veteran himself, for the 25th Anniversary of the Second World War.^[1] The white Memorial Cross stands as a remembrance to the soldiers who fought and lost their lives in the Battle of Bataan. From the colonnade and the cross, one can view Bataan, Corregidor Island and on a clear day, the city of Manila. The shrine complex also includes a war museum with a wide array of collections from paintings of the Philippine heroes to armaments used by the American, Filipino and Japanese forces in the heat of the battle.

Wearable Nail Soaker + NOTD

2011-10-18T08:12:00.000-07:00

Hi guys!
I've been mia for a week! Yay sorry guys! I have a lot of nail art designs I want to post and share... but first , I have another review product from BORNPRETTY!
I'm very excited at first to try it because I was curious about the use of that particular nail art accessory.. Hehe
Anyway, I received 3 pcs of Wearable Nail Soaker Art Acrylic Polish Remover tool.. For review purposes only.. But if you will buy them @ bornprettystore it's actually 10 pieces per set... It's a nail soaker.. I used them for removing my glittery nail polish. Most of us usually opt not to use glitter polish because it's very hard to remove on our nails. I think this product right here is the answer to that... It's very easy to use...

First, prepare the acetone nail soaker and cotton.
Remove the lid of the nail soaker, then insert your finger nails.
Place the cotton with acetone on your nails, then put the lid back on the soaker cup .
Soak for 2-3mins .
You will notice that it removes all the polish on nails much faster than the conventional way. It's very fun and easy...
I also used it for moisturizing my nails. I applied lotion and soak it for a minute.. I love the result..

If you like to try it, just visit bornpretty store for more nail art products!!

TADA!!

NOTE: This product was sent to me as a gift. I made this review based on my own ideas and preference on how to use them. My opinions about the quality of the said products are based on my personal judgements and the outcome of my usage.

P.S Here are some of my recent nail art designs.. Hope you like them all! God bless

Ancient Pattern Nail art

2011-09-14T23:13:00.000-07:00

Hi guys, when I woke up this morning I'm very excited to make a mani using my new image plates.. Here's what I came up with..I used XL image plate "C" for my design. I named it "ANCIENT PATTERN" I really like the color I used in my NOTD. Usually, ancient designs are represented by dark shades, I made mine a brighter, and lighter one...

 Here are the 3 nail polishes that I bought last week. The bottles are very cute! ♥

XL IMAGE PLATES

2011-09-14T07:14:00.001-07:00

Hi guys!
How's your day? I'm very excited and happy because I finally received my XL image plates.. I bought XL i.p. A,B,C,D, and I. Here are some swatches I made on a bond paper and a scanned image of the design for you guys to see... I really like them! If you zoom in on the images you will see the details of each design more clearly...:)

Pros:

I like the idea of putting all those designs in each image plate.
Saves storage space and isn't bulky compared to circular plates which only contains 4 - 8 designs.
Well-engraved.
The design selections are well picked. I like all the designs.

Cons:

the edges are sharp because there is no protective cover tape at the back. But you can always buy some protect stickers.
The plastic protector that comes with it is very sticky and easy to tear. It took me some time to remove all the excess marks.
Some images are not visible (in letter K).
Cleaning takes time because of the large size.

-but all in all. I like them! ☺

Make up session with my cousin Joyce and my sister Moelyn.Yesterday was the last day of a long weekend vacation (due to official holidays).

Hehehe... here's the outcome of our fun and daring make up session!. I'm not a pro when it comes to make up application but I did my best... I find it relaxing and fun because I really like it..

Yesterday it was a tiring day for me because the weather here is humid.. And while I'm browsing the net, I saw some photos of autumn nail art, I decided to use them as my concept for my next mani .. Here is what I came up with.. I think it is very fashionable. I really like the umbrella design I used in my mani.

I want it to have a different twist, not just the conventional leaves design. Hope you like it. God bless
