Cathy Kathy Hand and Foot Masques Review

 

Cathy Kathy goes beyond scented candles and gel polishes.

They recently launched their Hand Masque and Foot Masque and I was so happy to try these out!  

What I love about these products are the easily-tear tips for both hand and foot masques making it easy for me to move around and do my usual tasks without feeling helpless.

In every pack, you get clear instructions like so.

I love that both masques are non-sticky.  You get ample amount of products to spread all over your hands, arms and even body!  

Watch how I can easily use these without even following instructions.  After testing both out, I ended up purchasing more and use these once or twice a week depending on how busy my schedule is.

Holiday 2022 Gel Art

 

Hello everyone!
My nails missed you all!  Can you imagine how I used to do different nail art designs on a weekly basis?  That's almost 50 nail art designs in a year!

Since things has been super busy - very hands on mom, no house help to help me do chores so I cook a lot and work at the same time, doing nail art is a luxury!  

Thankful that I have home UV gel KIT from Cathy Kathy to help me create faster and easier nail art designs with no waiting time for drying!

Tada!

The shades I used are the following:

Base - Shade 17
Glitter - Shade 108

A quick IG reel to show you how it is done!

Hi AMW Friends!

Ahhhh been wearing nice cothes lately with meetings and workshops and online events!  Here’s another take of a casual OOTD with my “Korean Shorts” as how I call it - don’t mark my words, I just like to call it Korean Shorts because I have been seeing a lot of my favorite Korean Influencers wearing such shorts!  Not too sort and not too long!  Just right for moms-on-the-go or girls on-the-go in general!  

Perfect outfit for us who need to look good for sudden meetings online and you don’t have to worry about attendees seeing your “home shorts” or pajamas when you stand up!  I like wearing these types of shorts all throughout the day!

And adding up to a new discovery!  A hand sanitizer that is non-drying and comes with variou Colors!

Nail Art Tutorial: Nordic Nails

 

Hi AMW Friends!

Today is September 2 and I didn’t even get to enjoy the first day of September.  Things are going so crazy here at home I cannot believe the lockdown started with me counting every single minute as the days go by like a turtl.  Nowadays, with Kyle’s online class starting again as 3rd grader, me cooking 2x a day for 2-3 families at times.  Adding to my workout (to keep myself healthy and energetic) plus the PR work and my love for nail art, I find myself chasing after every single minute watching the clock every 5 minutes!  

That said, even my nail art tutorials turn simpler, and I have been relying on UV Gel Polishes more and more because after taking this shot, I was off to do another task!  And it was a task with the use of hands of course!

I recently got newer Gel Polish shades from both the Tokyo Collection and Nordic Collection, I have decided to create a simple art that screams —- CHILL.  Because I need to be chill whenever I look at my nails!  

I also got to try their Peel Off base and as opposed to what I did on the video, the peel off base does not need curing so I will definitely try it again without curing soon!

How do you like my nail art?

Cathy Kathy UV Gel Polishes are available HERE.

Philippine Flag Colors Inspired Nail Art

 

123rd Independence Day to my Beloved Pilipinas!

I haven’t been doing nail art much when I turned into a mom but things are starting to go back to the usual....well, the nail art and nail polish application but NOT the super crazy nail art designs or complicated ones like my PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE DAY Inspired Nail Art Tutorial Last 2011.

This particular nail art design inspired by the colors of Philippine Flag was done in less than 10 minutes with my inquisitive 8-year old son hovering around grabbing every single polish on my hand asking me: “What shade is this?” Constantly!  Hahahahaha

Thankful for Gel Polish as I was able to do everything and not worry about having my nail polish ruined! 

A simple nail art done in a flash using Cathy Kathy Gel Polishes.

The Philippine Flag consists of Blue, Red, Yellow and White.  

The National Flag of the Philippines features two equal horizontal bands of blue and red.  The blue color stands for peace, justice, sacrifice, and truth. The red color symbolizes bravery, courage, and patriotism. The white triangle represents fraternity, liberty, and equality.  The center of the triangle is a golden-yellow sun with eight primary rays, each representing a province At each vertex of the triangle is a five-pointed, golden-yellow star, each of which representing one of the country's three main island groups—Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

I know people are more sensitive nowadays with anyone wearing the Philippine flag as clothing or people are even bashed using the flag as accessory.  So I don’t want to make people sensitive about this so I did not draw the Philippine Flag on my nails to respect the flat and its’ people.  I used the colors instead.  So please...don’t bash me :P

BTS’ BUTTER-Nails

 

Remember my BUTTER shirt post?

Who says I am stopping there?

It isn’t perfect as I am being disturbed by my 8-year old son while I was doing this!  

For the base, I found a perfect color in Cathy Kathy No Soak Gel Polish in shade 13.  I used a gel polish underneath so I don’t need some waiting time to be able to draw on top of it!

VIDEO Below!

Purchase the Shade 13 HERE.

How to Apply Gel Polish with UV LED Lamp for First Timers

 

If you are a long time follower of Askmewhats’ Blog, you’ll know that Nail Art plays a huge role in my life!  I have been doing nail art for so many years and have done various designs!  

It stopped when I gave birth to my son and I just find it hard to juggle between motherhood and nails - let’s face it, what’s the point of having cute and beautiful nails when it has to be short all the time for my baby’s safety? 

Now that he is older, I am going back to doing nail art because —- you wouldn’t believe what I’m going to say —- My son actually awaits for new nail art!  He would say “Mommy, where is your March Nails?” 

Obviously, my son is exposed in the “Beauty World” where his mom lives in ! :)

So recently, I was contacted by the brand Cathy Kathy to try out their products without the pressure of posting!  They just wanted me to try it while I record it and maybe, let them know if I like the products are not.  Without the pressure - plus the products are made in Japan.  I said yes because I really want to see how good “home Gel Polish” would be.  

I always have my heart on regular polishes with the challenge of wet base while I do my nail art designs!  I mean I always prefer the harder and hassle route #NOT :P

After trying out Cathy Kathy Gel Polishes, I COULD be a convert!  Could be in a sense that I love how shiny and perfect my nails look!  How easy it was to do nail art as the base coat are completely dry!  How I can easily continue with my day to day activities without having to worry about smudging my nail polish!

The only downside?  The exposure of UV Light!  I mean the brand did say it isn’t harsh but I can literally feel the heat whenever I put my fingers inside the UV Lamp!  

That is my ONLY CON!  But overall, I am saying this for the brand and only brand I used as of the moment - this brand is amazing in a sense that these are SOAK FREE!  I dislike Gel Polishes because of bad experience with soaking and removal - my nails were PAPER THIN when it was supposed to be done professionally but they obviously didn’t know what to do!  

With that scare, I swore of Gel Polishes forever and this brand changed that!  They have Nail Polish Remover that can remove gel polishes with NO SWEAT.

Best of all, I’ve had this nail art for a week now, I cook, wash the dishes and do a lot of stuff and it remained fresh as freshly applied!  No Chipping (as long as you apply them well!) 

I won’t blab more, watch my quick and easy-to-understand tutorial coming from someone who was literally using this KIT for the VERY FIRST TIME!

Can’t wait to use more of these products and create more art for you guys!

What can you say about my FIRST EVER GEL POLISH applied at home?
