Decorate Your Nails with KONAD Stamping Nail Art

I got a lot of nice comments about my nails. They asked me where and how much did I pay for my nail art. I just say: "I just did it myself". They don't believe hahaha. So, I want to share with you on how did I achieved a Salon-looking nails without costing too much money for a beautiful, kikay nails. It’s fun and easy to do. I bought a Stamping Nail Art by KONAD, it’s a Korean product. This Stamping Nail Art Kit lets you decorate your nails easily. I bought the basic kit for Php530.00 only that includes Special nail polish (5ml), Image plate, Stamper & Scraper. You can buy it on Shopwise Cubao, KONAD have a booth there.

Basic Kit

What's inside? Stamper, Special nail polish, Scraper & Image plate.

I want to share with you a tutorial on how I achieved the nail art which I named French & Flowers. So here it is:

Please be noted that I made this nail art six (6) days ago, and I just put top coat again after 3 days to refresh the shine and to make the nail art last longer.

1.) Apply a base coat ( I used Caress frosted in Shower Party) to nails or any nail polish of your choice. Apply 2 coats. Let it dry.

2.) Make a French tip using the Elianto polish in Extremely Black (or any Black nail polish of your choice). Let it dry.

3.) Apply Konad Special nail polish to desired image on a Plate.

4.) Scrape it across Plate with the Scraper to remove excess Polish.

5.) QUICKLY, press the Stamper onto the Plate to pick up the design.

6.) Stamp the image onto your nail with a gentle rolling motion, or just press down.

7.) For lasting wear, apply a top coat as quickly and slightly just once dividing into 2 or 3 parts. Do not dab or repeat.

So, there you go. Isn't it so easy and fun to do? I hope this tutorial helps you. Though, there are directions already in the kit. Guys, I'd love to hear from you soon.

The ETUDE HOUSE Magic BB Cream

Finally, I bought a Magic BB Cream. After reading a lot of reviews, I've decided to give it a try.

Etude House BB Magic Cream in Refreshing.

I bought this BB cream from Etude House. The Etude House store is located at the SM Megamall Building A, Upper Ground Floor near the Toy Kingdom. For the price of Php598.00, hey, for me it's worth it! This is the cheapest BB cream I know compared to some BB creams that will cost you of up to Php1, 200.00. Well, maybe you'll ask what are the uses and functions of this cream but I won't go answering for it 'coz I think it’s better to just share to you my personal experience in using this BB cream instead.

Note that my type of skin is oily and I have a medium fair complexion before but now, I get a lot of tan as we hit the beach 2 weeks ago. Okay, so here it is:

The Etude BB cream comes in a tube pump. Just one pump and it releases the amount enough to apply for the face and neck. I dot it in my face (forehead, nose, under eyes area, cheeks & chin) and neck. Then, I used my finger in blending it onto my skin. After I applied it evenly, my face is too whitish. Yes, I know that it will turn it that way because based on the reviews; it will take minutes before it will adjust accordingly depending onto your skin colour. But hey, look how it sets on my skin, some of my pimple scars and blemishes were all covered. It really does a nice coverage! Haha... Really a"goodbye-trouble" magic cream, huh?!?

(Photo taken after 2.5 hours, no retouch yet.)

After the BB cream adjusted on my skin colour, I set it with my favourite setting powder - Natural Rice Oil-Absorbing Rice Powder in Natural RP06. After 2.5 hours, it does a dewy-finish look which I really like hehe. For me, its looks sexy especially in photos. It doesn't have greasy feel either. It's light-weight, too.

And oh, what I like also about using this is I can skip putting on my moisturizer and foundation so it really save me time in preparing myself especially when I'm on a hurry for appointment. This cream serves as my moisturizer and my foundation in one, so its like 2-in-1. Hehe..

I love this BB cream.

It's Happy Saturday!

Yesterday, I & hubs went to Caloocan to visit my niece Pamela. My niece received a 2nd honor award and she's on the top 9 of the 6th grade in their school. I am so proud of her!

After that, we headed to Anne & Sean's apartment to join them again for a night swimming at the penthouse. This time, with Rhen & Yesha . This was the 2nd time we had night swimming at their apartment. Again, it was fun!  We're so full that night. Rhen bought a one (1) bilao of palabok which was really delicious (actually, I had a take home of that!) Thanks Rhen! The Molo soup is great and the pork chop is so tasty! Thanks Anne & Sean!

Till next time.
