mani.monday.june-catch-up.

Just because I missed a post in May, let me make it up to you by posting another “mani” feature for the month of June! ;-)

The real colour would be turquoise, but the photo colours are kind of skewed. If you have the same monitor as I have, the proper colour of the polish should be the one on the bottom left (except it made my fingers look awfully yellow!).

I got this nail polish from the Philippines for about 2.50$ a bottle. Elianto is Korea-made. Unfortunately, their website doesn’t seem to offer this wonderful colour I’m featuring. I will try my best to find it on Amazon so I could let you guys know where to get it if you like it.

After 2 coats of the Elianto turquoise nail polish, I topped my nails with another Korean-made nail polish,

Silver Glitter by Sinful Colors Professional. The same brand as this one from my last Manicure Monday post.

Excuse my very dry cuticle. I wash my hands very often at work, I feel like my hands are going to bleed from dryness most of the time. I know I have to be more conscious and apply lotion, but it never happens. :-(

Maybe next time I will feature some hand care solutions.

See you in July for our next Manicure Monday! ;-)

Have a great week!

I’ve missed a MANICure Monday post in the month of May! I apologize for not being able to consistently post recently. I will get back to a good rhythm again very soon and I will let you know what’s been keeping me busy aside from the new job.

So let’s talk about this new color that’s been ever so popular this Spring 2012! It’s a salmon pink, almost with an orange tinge, very bright and perfect for a summer prelude!

I used a new brand of nail polish called Sinful Colors. I applied Timbleberry, and topped it with Pinky Glitter top coat, of the same brand.

It dries up pretty fast so I’m very happy with it. It’s a very matte finish though when it dries up, unless you put a top coat to make it shiny and/or glittery (which I did). Some people are a fan of matte polish though, my sister Belle, being one of them. I don’t get it. When the polish becomes dull when it dries, it’s like using markers on your nails.

Anyways, I ended up having nice, shiny, fashionable nails in no time, with this fast-drying new polish discovery. I know it says 1.99$ each on the Walgreens website, but I got mine from London Drugs (yes it is a store here in Canada, and they don’t only sell meds, they even have furniture and small appliances and computers!), 5.99$ buy 1 get 1 free. 

They have very vibrant colors perfect for the upcoming summer months! I hope you find them on sale somewhere near you!

Have a great MANICure Monday! ;-)
