Blue Cheetah Nails!

It's that time of the year where they'll say animal prints are in.

I'm not a fan of clothings with animal prints so i've decided to design my nails instead.

Here's the result:

How to do it:

1.) Prepare a light base color for your nails. This one I used Chic Classic's Love Orchid in Glaze.

2.) Choose another color and add blobs to your nails. I used Caronia's Blue Chill in Frosted.

It doesn't have to be perfect. You won't need a dotting tool for this. But if you are having trouble with adding them i'd suggest you use chopsticks or toothpicks. In my case I just used the brush itself. Make sure it is thin enough so it would dry easily. Concentrate on a side and leave a blank space for the base to peep.

3.) Here's where the fun part begins. Outline the sides of the blobs. My tip is don't make it too perfect. It's best when you make the corners a little bit thicker on the other side. I used a nail pen for this but a nail art brush is also good.

4.) Lastly, protect your design by using a clear nail polish. Any brand would do.

Optional: Taking long to dry your nails? Try Bobbie's Quickdry!

I hope you enjoyed this post and have fun painting your nails!

MEG's visit to UP Diliman!

After my MS1 class with Jyasu we walked to Long Island to have our lunch.
While we were walking there we saw this huge tent and a bus. It was MEG promoting Tupperware Brands Color Collection. I've heard raves about their BB Cream w/Gluta so I browsed around.

I'm the one wearing that short grey dress...

MEG Magazine was giving away back issues & lanyards for people who liked their Facebook page.
Pretty cool right? I'm not maarte and I have this "girl-crush" on Lovi Poe so why not?

Muy caliente!

Sensitive Eyes

I remembered way back, the first solution I used for my eyes was SeptoCare.

I reallized I was allergic to thimerasol (a preservative) and had a very sensitive pair of eyes.

I consulted my ophthalmologist in UP Infirmary and showed her this:

Nothing wrong right?

Okay, here's a disturbing closeup:

Look at that disturbing red ring!

She said I was allergic to contacts and shouldn't take contacts that are not sold in optical shops (GEO and EOS). But stubborn me wanted to keep on using her contacts. So I told my orgmates about my little problem and they told me to try using Opti-Free Replenish because it's good for sensitive eyes.

 At first I was hesistant. Mainly because I am a cheapskate. Come on, are you gonna shell out P300+ for some solution? But after a few months of using this product I conclude that you really do get what you paid for (even though its really pricey).

And no, I'm not getting paid by Alcon just to say these things.

Lesson learned: NEVER SCRIMP ON YOUR EYES!

You only have one pair, don't mess them up!
