Nail Treats

My nails have suffered the wrath of my medications. They’ve become too weak. They easily crack so I decided to try these products from Orly:

orly in a snap and calcium shield, by bitsandtreats

Let’s start with Calcium Shield. I’ve been using this product for a month now and it has so-so results. My nails still crack but at least they grow longer than they used too before cracking. This product didn’t make much of a difference but it’s a good base coat.

In A Snap, on the other hand, doesn’t work like it’s supposed to. The polish doesn’t dry in a minute, what more in a snap. Sure it’s faster than a regular top coat but you would expect more considering the price is Php250. If you also like a shiny finish, skip this one. The finish is not shiny enough for me. With the wrong polish, it ends up dull.

I would probably buy Calcium Shield again but will try other quick drying top coats. Any suggestions?

    i stopped using nail churvaness awhile back because when i skipped two sessions, my nails ended up being yellowish. :) i had to immerse them in vinegar every night to get rid of the yellow tincture. now, i have to religiously attend all my nail pampering sessions, kahit medyo pagod na sometimes.

All About Eyes

Lately I’m finding myself obsessed with skin care products, prevention in particular. I'm not getting younger and nobody likes lines and wrinkles, right? I should have done this in my early twenties but those were hard times and we didn’t have enough to support our daily lives, let alone vanity splurges. So now, I’m on hyper mode. I did not place any expectations on this product. I’ve had it with products claiming they can do this and that. I just tried the product thinking that if it works then great, if not then I’ll just find a new one. I wasn’t expecting a dramatic change but 2 weeks into using this product, I noticed that my under eye area has become lighter. The lines are also not as deep as they were before I used this product. I stopped using the Garnier eye products because I’m allergic to them so that means I’m not using any whitening products for that area. I am truly impressed with this product. I didn’t take a before and after photo as I wasn’t expecting this at ...

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...
