Nail Art Tutorial: Love My Nails

After FIVE LONG years, I've finally posted a decent Nail Art Tutorial post again!

I can't promise this to be a regular thing but for sure, I'm getting my "mojo" back as I'm loving my nails every single time I look at it!  (Iba ang good vibes ng naka nail art!  In My case!)

It was one unexpected evening that Kyle got tired and slept earlier than usual.  I've decided to clean my toe nails and finger nails!  Since they are clean na, I looked into my nail polish collection and decided to create a quick and very simple Nail Art Design that represents me the most --- DOTS!

My friend Janina told me she tends to wear Polka-dotted outfit when she knew she's meeting me --- so I must be a DOT to her?  :P  

I picked a polish from the Orly Breathable Treatment + Color Collection and I picked the bright red shade called LOVE MY NAILS as base --- that explains the title of this nail art tutorial!

Step 1:
Apply 2 coats of Orly Breathable Treatment + Color in Love My Nails.  Wait for it to completely dry before you apply the design.

Note: There are some nail art designs that need a wet polish base, not this one though.

A Pa-Tweetums' Guide to Vice x Bang Collection

As we were taking photos for the newest Vice x Bang Collection, Mr. AMW was teasing me how my "look" and outfit does not match the lipstick shades!

It turned into a nice idea, I know a lot would go for that "grunge" look as to go with some of the bold colors included in the collection, as for me, I prefer to WEAR the lipstick and not the Lipstick wear me.  (Naks!  Pa-deep!)

How would a Vice x Bang Collection fair on a user who likes simple makeup?  Someone who actually meets professionals and Big Bosses for work and someone who can actually play around with lip colors as a Professional Makeup Artist.

Well, here's the answer.

The shades are actually wearable, I personally LOVE the matte version more than anything else, but for certain collection like the lighter shades - I don't mind topping the glitter because they actually made my lips look healthy and glowing!

But I need to talk more about the quality of these liquid lipsticks.

According to Vice Cosmetics ---

Ganda with a Bang! The newest Vice x Bang collection is guaranteed to give your lips the attention it deserves.

Iconic Duo. Unkabogable star Vice Ganda and iconic stylist Bang Pineda team up to create a striking lipstick collection.

From extraordinary to extra glitzy. The collection includes Vice Cosmetic’s Phenomenal Matte liquid lipstick and a glitter lip topper for that Ganda with a Bang!

For easy reference, I took photos of the Matte Version and Matte + Glitter of all 4 collection!  I love MOWDEL and SAVEEEH for daily use and if I want to add some oomph, the last 2 shades are fine but I prefer not to top them with the glitter.

New And Improved Big Guys Pizza and I LOVE It More!

The first time I tried Big Guys Pizza was from a leftover from my Husband's Holiday Party.  I was told so many times no pizza will taste good if they are reheated --- true enough, I love Big Guys Pizza for the size and the "usual" taste but it's not something I would really crave for.

Then it was another "Office Food Party" and I've finally decided to visit Mr. AMW with Kyle and join them for a pizza party!  I knew I had to try the new and improved Big Guys Pizza FRESH!

It was worth the trip!

According to Big Guys Pizza, they made their pizzas better than ever.  New Taste, New Look and Same Big Flavor and Affordable Price.

I am finally agreeing and nodding my head as I bite a piece.  I am tasting the difference with the cheese they used --- definitely better!  I also love how even the pizza isn't the "crunchy" one that I usually enjoy, the soft dough made a whole difference!  All the vegetables tastes really fresh!

Wedding Guest Makeup Look and Outfit

So it has been a while since I attended a wedding!  Several wedding invitations passed by my hands but I wasn't able to attend any of them for so many reasons and I told myself I had to break the "bad luck".

My Best Man got married but Kyle was extremely sick.  

My college barkada got married this year and I was looking forward to attend her wedding but my dad had a stroke.

My highschool classmate invited us for his Wedding last week and I told myself I had to go, praying so hard nothing bad will happen again.

THANKFULLY, I was fully made up and was able to dress up...so you know I was able to attend - FINALLY!
