Orly Impressions Collection Nails

 

Dear AMW Friends,

I'm back doing nail art once again because as you all know, I stopped when I turned into a mom!  Taking care after a Baby, then Toddler is NO JOKE!  It is true what most people say, you don't have time for yourself even a single application of nail polish became a chore!

Now that my son is 9 years old!  YES!  Time flew by so fast, I have the option to do some self-care routine even if I have to wait for wee hours of night when he finally fell asleep!  (Not complaining here!)  

A girl who loves nail art by heart.....is finally back and this time using the Orly's Impressions Collection!

I think the collection has a total of 6 shades and I got 4 our of the 6!

L-R Artist's Garden, Bleu Iris, Dance with Me, Golden Afternoon

The ORLY Polishes are know to be silky creme shades, easy to apply with the flat brush and dries up easily!  If applied correctly, you don't have to worry about chip!  

As always, whenever I get a "collection", I try to use all shades proving how a collection really complements each other!  

 

How do you like this look?

ORLY Polishes are available locally at Purebeauty.

(Author got sample sizes but full sized Orly Impressions polishes costs Php395.00 per bottle.)

Keep smilin'

Stay happy!

Orly The New Neutrals Launch

Nail polish lovers.
You all know Orly.  I don't need to give a long introduction about this brand because we always see them in nail salons and we always get confused on which color to choose for our hands and feet because they always come up with shades that are worthy for our digits!

Then, the decision-making gets even more complicated when they launched The New Neutrals this week!  Held at Kitchenails, Robinsons Galleria, I was pampered not only with a nice Pedi-session but also, I was offered my favorite drink of all time --- COFFEE with the help of Costa Coffee.

The new collection is amazing!  This Fall 2018 collection includes 6 brand new shades:  Cashmere Crisis, Snuggle Up, Fall Into Me, Mauvelous, Seize the Clay and Olive You Kelly (Left to right from photo above)

It was a first for me to try the service at Kitchenails and I love how homey and spacious the place was!  I get to be pampered by them using "kitchen utensils" from spatulo to kitchen brushes.  And of course, with Costa Coffee to serve us snacks, what could go wrong?

You Pick Your Summer Romance!

And no, I'm not talking about a pick between your colleague, your neighbor or maybe that guy you met at the coffee shop....

We're talking about Romance between YOU and Your nails!

Girlstuff Nail Polish - one of my favorite safe polish brand recently launched their Summer 2018 collection!  Just when I thought it just look like the usual "ho-hum" bright, summer colors...this totally blew my mind!

SUMMER COLLECTION

Php750.00 for the whole set

Available HERE or any Girlstuff Counters near you

Just so you know, PHOTOS do not do justice!  You have to check the collection IN PERSON to understand what I'm trying to say!

This collection speaks to the Summer homebody (me!), the beach babes (I wish that's me but not for this year!), the summer nerds (me pa din!) , in short, this collection speaks SUMMER FOR ALL AGES and for ALL PERSONALITIES!

Beach Babe

At first glance this may look like a teal-colored polish but applied on me, it looks Pastel Mint Green!  I love how the color changes in different individuals!  I love how refreshing this color made me feel! 

I'm a Disney Minnie Nail Lacquer by Girlstuff Ambassador!

When you were asked by a Nail Polish brand you've been using for almost a decade to be their ambassador for one of their biggest collaboration ever, you can't help but nod and pinch yourself internally.  It is a dream come true for me!

If you check out my Nail Art Tutorials, you will see GirlStuff "used and abused" so many times in most of my nail art because for so many reason - pigmented shades, fashionable and up-to-date shades, free from harmful chemicals like Formaldehyde, Toluene, Di-butyl phtalate, Camphor and Formaldehyde Resin.  And who says you have to sacrifice quality for safety?  With Girlstuff, each polish has long wear and no-streak formulation which I love through the years! 

And if you think you need better reasons to trust Girlstuff, well, Girlstuff has been chosen as the first ever Philippine Brand of Nail Polish to carry Minnie Mouse by Disney!

And that calls for a celebration with a Launch of MINNIE MOUSE LACQUER COLLECTION BY GIRLSTUFF. 

The Collection includes 10 Minnie Mouse inspired shades!

Girlstuff Urban Jungle Collection Review

I haven't been doing Nail Art posts but that doesn't stop me from wearing nail polishes!  I still do!  I still have this "itch" to create nail art designs but it is put on hold due to my extremely busy schedule but there will always be special days like this....when my favorite nail polish brand launches their newest collection and the colors are screaming: "Nikki!  Please use us all!"  

Obviously, I obliged!

Gelish and Morgan Taylor Beauty and the Beast Collection Launch

 Beauty and the Beast is definitely one of my favorite fairytales, because the story focuses on inner beauty and that's what AskMeWhats has always been about --- Beauty In and Out.

In celebration of the Disney live-action version, gel brand, Gelish and its sister brand Morgan Taylor, release Spring 2017 Offering --- a Beauty and the Beast collection which composed of seven shades which are all inspired by elements found in both the original and new film.  

Because I believe in looking beautiful on the outside will translate to feeling beautiful on the inside, I knew it is high time for me to have another session of "Me-Time" before my 2 workshops commence!  

The launch was held at my favorite S Maison mall at Kallista, selected Bloggers and Media friends were there to try out the new collection.

 

Let's talk about the Morgan Taylor collection first, one thing that makes this collection unique is the shade Enchanted Patina (left most polish on photo below).  Enchanted Patina is a duo chrome shimmer that is somewhere between a coppery gold to a pink shade.  It can be worn as is or on top of the other shades from the collection to create a shimmery antique look!
