Happy Christmas and New Year!!
These are just some of my nail art designs for the end of the year! It was simpler and easier than my usual ones but I find the designs and color to fit the happy occasion.
This nail art design reminds of of Lanterns. The colors are very Asian.
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!
I've always wanted to do Philippine related nail art but I understand how people could get really sensitive nowadays! So I try my best to do representations instead! I picked the Philippine Flag colors and drew 3 stars and Sun with 8 rays.
Happy Philippine Independence Day to my fellow Filipinos!
Happy Humpday!
I am so happy to share that I'm back with another gel nail art! I did not take a video of this as I only have 10 minutes to do my nails before I shower my son!
With 10-minutes - the best way to make beautiful nails is to use UV Lamp!
Hope you learn something from me today!
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!

To our Muslim Brothers and Sisters, you know that we may have different religions (just like how we have different Political Beliefs in times of election.). I want to wish everyone peace, safety, protection and good health!
Happy Eid Mubarak!
I know this art isn't perfect, Look at my moon! My brush is just wonky! But I poured my heart out drawing each nail! Hope you like it!
I have been checking out talented nail artists in Japan, Taiwan and Korea on my Instagram account and I got inspired to do Marble nails using gel nail polishes!
Given the chance, I’d like to do it on regular polishes more since my nails are weak and I prefer to change my polish at least once a week. But because Marble nails are quite tricky to do cosidering you need a dry base - plus busy hands on mom here! UV Gel Polish is the way to go for no.
Keep smilin'
Stay happy!
I have been following Nail artists from Korea, Japan and Taiwan. I am envious of their “jelly nails” and wondered how it was done.
With constant research + All thanks to Lazada and Shopee, I was able to purchase Gel Nail Polishes that are meant to have jelly, shiny nails outcome. I also love how they added a new element like Foil and I actually bought gold ones so I actually tried this nail art design for the first time and it took me less than 10 minutes!
Here’s the result! How do you like it?
Keep smilin'
Remember my Valentine’s Day Look?
Well, I had to pair it with Valentine’s Day Nails of course!
I used Gel Polishes for this because I only have 15 minutes to create this nails and it is easier to “draw” with a completely dry base. That said, you can actually still do this with regular polishes!
Hello AMW Friends! Happy Year of the Water Tiger!!!
Ah, as much as I’d like to draw a cute Tiger on my nails like I used to a decade ago! I’ve decided to make it simpler and …ahem…more age appropriate!
How do you like this?

Ah, I have been so busy to even have time to fix my nails! I thought I have A LOT of time when I don’t need to drive my son to and from school, no need to attend events or go out in general.
Boy was I wrong! I am not complaining though, I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to stay at home with my husband and son as I do the things I love to do at the comforts of my home!
So I recently got new shades of Barry M Polish. They are in pastel pink, yellow and purple! All shades work well even when worn together. Just take a look!

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!
The rainy days are really here! It has been raining nonstop for good 6 days to almost a week and the Philippines is suffering in terms of Flood and extreme traffic. I wish things will be better soon not only for our nation but also for other countries.
Since I am still stuck at home - PANDEMIC + STRONG RAIN
I don’t want my home life to be “shi**y” as they say, so I’ve decided to pain my nails quickly and do a simple nail art. I am inspired by the dainty pieces I own (rings!) so here you go.
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.
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!
This year’s Easter, still stuck at home! Thankful that my son got used to the lockdown life and did not expect much! All thanks to many online sellers though and delivery guys, I was able to purchase plastic eggs and toys and create simple Easter Egg hunting at the comforts and safety of our homes.
Now on to my nails, I usually draw Rabbits or eggs but this time, well, for someone of age :P I’ve decided to make it simpler, thinking about the exterior look of Quail Eggs (because I just cooked them with my Birthday Noodles!) I’ve decided to use Easter Egg Pastel colors as base instead and use a simple mascara wand in creating random Quail Egg-Like dots!
What do you think?
Have a wonderful day!
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 ! :)
