Nail Art Tutorial: "Dainty yet Funky" Nails

My nails had rested for a week! Its nice to let my nails breathe, but in truth, I didn't have the chance to do my nails as that was the last thing on my mind 2 weeks ago when my mom was at the hospital. So now things are looking up, I have the mood again to do my nails! And to start it off, my July nails started off simple, elegant yet FUNKY (colors used).

One reason I chose this nail color because I will be attending a wedding and I want to match my nail color and dress color! :) No, you don't need to match your dress and nail color! That's to clarify everything! hahaha

Here's my dainty and funky nails!

Step 1:

Do not forget to apply a basecoat before applying colored polishes to prevent your nails from yellowing. Apply 2 coats of San San Nail Polish in Blue.

Step 2:

Using a white 2 way nail art dotting pen. Create dots with tail! You can create flowers going to different directions on each fingernail. Do not forget the needle method to make the flowers more realistic!

Sample on different fingers :)

Step 3:

Apply rhinestones of your choice. I am using a pink rhinestone as it goes well with my base color.

Step 4:

Apply Caronia glitter silver polish on top of the nail art.

Step 5:
Apply your choice of top coat.

See? Everything looks easier! Do give it a try! Dots do create nice looking flowers and it pays to have nice looking nails! Someone came up to me while I was walking at the mall to tell me she likes my nails :D

Have a nice week ahead!
Keep smilin'
Stay Happy!

Weekend Food Tripping at: The Old Spaghetti House

Good morning everyone! I will be off for a makeup session today and I know it'll be fun fun fun! :) Weekend food tripping post! :) Hmmm so many spaghetti restaurants out there. I have a question though, is there a spaghetti restaurant who serves "OH MY GOODNESS I FORGOT MY NAME" kind of yumminess? I find that most pastas tastes almost the same, not really the same but most pastas served are always delicious! Or it's just my weird taste buds?

The Old Spaghetti House

This restaurant reminded me of Figaro Coffee House as the interior looks almost similar! :) Though the name states the OLD Spaghetti House, the restaurant definitely doesn't come near to being old! I like the warm ambience and it's actually a great place to have a nice conversation, a date *winks*

Carbonara
Php140.00 (approx $2.90)

The creaminest is just right. I hate it when my carbonara lacks sauce! That's a big nono. I like my carbonara bathed in creaminess of their in house cream.

Roast Beef with Mushroom Sauce
Php160.00 (approx $3.30)

My hubby's ultimate favorite! Roast beef! I am seriously not a roast beef eater but I can't help but steal some food from him! :) Tip: Do ask for more gravy! Pour it on the rice and forget about your thighs! *winks*

Before I end my weekend food tripping post. I would like to share a photo that makes me smile everytime I look at it! These photos were taken last month when we celebrated our Basement Academy Graduation at the Starway KTV at Timog Area. I missed everyone!!! Too bad Shen wasn't able to make it, but we'll definitely see each other again!!!!

L-R Steph, Sir Jeaves, Blue, me and Kim

L-R me, Blue, Kim, Sir Jeaves, Steph and Teach Cheryl

There's a YMCA private joke! :)
Hint: You'll think I'm drunk if i sing and dance LOL
Have a wonderful day!
Do take a look some wonderful photos that can make you smile!
keep smilin'

Clinique Take the Day Off Makeup Remover Review

Darn! I have no more secrets! A lot of you guessed my favorite makeup remover right away! Now, where's that mysterious side of me???? *looks around*

You gals think I'll let you wait til next week to share to you my new find? Of course not! You don't think I'm that bad right?

**image taken from Clinique

Clinique's Take the Day Off has been going head on head with Lancome's Bifacil. I am glad I've tried both because I am going crazy wondering which one is better!!! Well before I start my review, I would like to tell everyone that this is based on my own experiences and opinion. I am always open for your thoughts so let me know through comment section :D I love reading comments, I crave for them! :D

On with the review!

I Wonder: "What's Your Ultimate Makeup Remover?"

**image from Girlishh.com

Ahhh makeup removers! I am obsessed with trying to find the one I'm sticking to, just like what the PussyCat dolls say...

Nobody gonna love me better
I must stick with you forever.
Nobody gonna take me higher
I must stick with you.
You know how to appreciate me
I must stick with you, my baby.
Nobody ever made me feel this way
I must stick with you.

Yes, this song must be dedicated to makeup removers! LOL Anyways, your Askmewhats have gone through roads of challenges for makeup removers. I know I've missed out a lot out there but when I see HG (Holy Grail) material to others, I told myself I MUST, I MUST increase my Bust! <--- now where did that came from?

My requirements for a good makeup remover:

• affordable
• non-oily
• removes waterproof makeup (eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, brow powder/pencil, etc..)
• doesn't require a lot of rubbing or pulling of the skin
  
• doesn't hurt the eyes... AT ALL!
