Minnie Mouse I'm All Ears!

While pregnant and on bed rest I couldn't go anywhere and I certainly couldn't do anything. My guilty pleasure was getting manipeds at home. I got addicted to nail polishes... thanks to Digital Traincase.

My most recent buy was from the OPI Vintage Minnie Mouse Collection. My skin color clashes with light pinks so ended up getting this lovely shade of hot pink with shimmer...

I'm All Ears

I'm not really good at describing nail polishes but this one has shimmer with blue undertones (I've often read it described that way...)

on my toes

Here's the complete collection.

from left to right: Nothin' Mousie 'Bout It (glitter with heart like confetti); I'm All Ears; If You Moust, You Moust (bubblegum pink); The Colour of Minnie (more cherry red)

I also wanted The Colour of Minnie but I was saving up for another OPI collection. Will share it too once it arrives!

Chanel on your fingertips

from L to R: Holiday, Island, Delight

Chanel always comes out with to-die-for nail polish colors. Here's their Summer 2012 Collection.

I'm loving Delight and Holiday. Island is a bit pink for my skin tone.

I'm hoping to snag one or two of these babies while my mom is in US.

My OPI Holland Collection Loot

I ordered again from Digital Traincase. I've been ordering stuff from them ever since I went on bed rest. Lol! This time, nail polish from the OPI Holland Collection. It arrived today and I'm so excited to try them on.

Wooden Shoe Like To Know

I called home service for manipedi and footspa for tomorrow but I did some tests as soon as it arrived. Pardon the application, I'm not super good at this.

Kiss Me On My Tulips

I love the bright pink color without looking to neon. It's creme and applies well. Put on two coats. It's really a summer color. 

Did You Ear About Van Gogh

Also applies well. It's just me, hence the not-so-clean application. The color reminds me of coffee overloaded with cream. Haha. But I love it on my hands. So "dalaga" looking!

Wooden Shoe Like To Know

This is the kind of shade I gravitate to. It's safe and really make my hands look pretty. This shade is shimmery. It doesn't look too "brown" when applied. But if you want it darker, three coats of it should do.

Thanks to Digital Traincase I got hold of colors from this collection. Really excellent service and fast delivery. 

Oh, Kiss Me On My Tulips wasn't part of my initial order. I chose Vampsterdam which is more of a plum-reddish color. But stock didn't arrive. I'm not sorry I had to change my order. It was still in my top 5 shades from the collection. But if the other shade arrives... I'm still getting one!

Get Crackin'

Nail polish is my new guilty pleasure. Trying out also crack nail polish. Thanks to Ninang Willa's help, I got to go back to Faceshop to get a bottle of their "Cracking Collection", their version of crack nail polish.

There's probably a lot more colors but between gray, white and dark brown, I got brown. So, here's my DIY...

Cracked!

The only guilty pleasure I can really have without leaving our house is getting a manipedi and foot spa. The home service massage we use also does manipedi and foot spa. So every two weeks or so, I call them for some pampering.

Today, the technician they sent offered nail art. I'm not so into nail art but I saw she had the crack nail polish! I've been looking for the Etude House Crack Nail Polish but it's always out of stock. I couldn't figure out the brand the girl used on me... part of the label peeled off already. But it was not Etude House. She had pink, blue and purple. I decided to try blue.

I hear Tony Moly has Snake Nail Polish that gives the same effect. But it's almost double the price of Etude House. By the way, my toes are painted black. I think crack nail polish on my toes is too much already.

I told the girl after two weeks I wanna try the pink one. 

The Hunger Games Nail Polish

Cashing on The Hunger Games craze, China Glaze releases a collection inspired by the book/movie. 

The nail polish will be in stores this March 1, 2012, just in time for the March 23, 2012 release of the movie too. 

Okay, so confession time. Haven't read the book so I really can't "feel" the colors. But just by looking at the collection I have a few I already like! Hook and Line, Stone Cold, Harvest Moon and even Agro looks promising to me.

I hope it reaches the Philippine shores soon!
