NOTD: O.P.I. in Privacy Please (Perfect Nude)

The other day, I googled images of nude make-ups in the internet. I was looking for an inspiration and planning to recreate any that I might like. I have saved some images and hopefully I can recreate one of those or I may post a tutorial soon. Since I am in nude make-ups mode, I think I should wear nude nail polish, too, to complete the look. 

Since painting nail is as easy as 1-2-3, I will do a nail post first before the make-up look. I stared at this O.P.I. nail polish and imagined myself in a corporate world again where black, white and neutral color is a must. Though nudes/ neutrals are understated colors, you can never go wrong with them. It is very versatile. You can wear this shade in any occasion. A safe color I must say.

O.P.I. in Privacy Please

I haven't posted a review of any O.P.I. nail polishes I owned but let me take the opportunity now to say how much I love O.P.I. I really love its brush; it is wide. The moment I stroke the brush onto my nail, the brush flared widely and easily turned to a fan-like and distributes the polish onto my nail in one stroke. Wow.

This nude shade is more like a very light baby pink in person. You'll mistakenly thought it's just your normal nail in a glance but you'll figure that it is not because of its polished  and satin-looking finish.

Well, just like other nail polish brands, this has some downside. It streaks like forever. Lol. I kid. For the first 2 coats, streaks are very disappointing to see. I did 3-coats; na-da. Finally, at 4 coats, I was contented though I still saw some light streaks but decent enough.

I love how it made my hand looking healthy as well. The edges are clean, so tidy! This shade is a perfect nude. Not too light, not too dark. Some nude polishes are tan-like or light-brown which will definitely make my hand look darker for sure. 

Before I end this post, let me greet all the Moms out there most especially to the beautiful woman I know - Happy Mother's Day, Mamang! Today, we will be having lunch with my in-laws to treat hubby's Mom and later I'm gonna make a phone call to my Mamang to greet her in this special day. My Mom is living outside Metro Manila and I can't wait to treat her out to a date as well.

All photos are taken using iPhone 5. Anyway, I hope you find this post worth reading. Do you like nude polishes?

NOTD: O.P.I. Your Villa or Mine?

Last Saturday, I took photos of my painted nails using my iPhone. I was testing the quality of photos that this amazing phone (yet) claims. So far, I can say that the quality is very good and is comparable to slr photos. As I was drying up my nails, my phone rang. I had an urgent appointment with a client. Even if I was so lazy to go out that afternoon because the sun was unforgiving; I cannot turn down the oppurtunity. So even if I had only an hour to meet him, I got myself ready and I bravely commute going to Ortigas Center (I'm car less because my hubby was out). I arrived in our agreed meeting place 10-minutes early. But the moment I arrived, he sent a sorry message informing me that he will be late. Oh great, just great. Lol!

Well, there's nothing better to do while waiting but tinkering on my iPhone. I took advantage of the 1-hour free time and I've learned some things on how I can maximize the usage of this amazing phone. By the way, all photos in this post are taken by iPhone and I really love the results. I am planning to take outfit shots outdoor using this, too.




So, is it Your Villa or Mine? What's with the name of this O.P.I. nail polish? Haha. Would you believe that I own this O.P.I. nail polish for over 2 years already? But this is just my 3rd time using this. Oh why? Because I thought this color make my hands look darker. The first time I used this was when my big brother arrived from KSA and our whole family stayed in a hotel; my Mom tried this on me. The second time was last year during summer and yesterday was just the third time. I find this color perfect to be worn during summer because of its coral-ish color (if there's a word). It has pink and orange hues with micro gold shimmers. But you know, I realized yesterday that this color suits my skin tone however. Or maybe I get 2x lighter because since last month, I managed not to get direct exposure from the sun. 

Applied 1-coat only.

Applied 2-coats.

2-coats with top coat.

Surprisingly, this nail polish didn't changed its consistency. It didn't dried up I swear. It didn't bubbled either when applied. When I took this out of my drawer, it looks like a make-up remover ; the oil separates and floated on top of the color. I just shaked it a little and tried it on my nails. It still works like brand-new. The consistency remains runny which made the application precised and easy. Not to mention the brush flares widely when glided onto my nails which is really an important thing to me because I have big nails. I'm quite impressed really. Well, it's O.P.I. I am totally getting this product's worth.

Hey I am giving love to this nail polish now. Haha. I can't believe I neglected this shade for long time. Hmmm... What do you think?

Until my next post.
