Manicure Monday: Valentine's Day 2015

Hello Monday everybody! How was your weekend? Too short? Yeah... so was mine. Haha. Definitely cannot wait until the weekend is near again. Wooo!!

Can anyone tell me what this Saturday is? Well, for some, it is Valentine's Day while to others, it is also known as the Single's Awareness Day. Hahaha. Either way, there are plenty of chocolates and/or candies to go around for everyone, and everyone likes their sweets right? Another year that I will not be celebrating V-Day, last year being the first and this year being the second. But it's alright, it doesn't bother me because I am all for the festivities anyways. I will not be celebrating does not mean I cannot get into the holiday spirit. :P

Which is what this post is all about!! My manicure this week is totally V-Day inspired, pinks and reds and loads of hearts. So no mater if your single or taken, let's just beautify our nails for US! Yeah!!

Manicure Monday: "Pink Popsicle" One Week Update

Monday greetings to all my lovely Autumn blossoms. :) And just how are you all doing on this lovely Autumn day? The weather has really gotten cold Bundle up and keep warm my pretties! Don't want y'all to catch a cold now.

If you are a regular to my blog, you'll already know this but if you're a browser or a new follower, Monday's are usually, always manicure related. I usually switch up my nails on Monday and do a post entry about it. It's been a good while but today's entry will be an update rather than a new manicure. Why might you ask? Well, take a looksy below and you can probably understand why I couldn't bring myself to remove this manicure.

 

Yes, what you see here is not fresh paint, nope. This is one week old nails WITHOUT a top coat.

This is my first time using Pop Beauty's nail color so I didn't know what to expect. Usually, when I try out a new brand of nail color for the first time, I risk it and do not use top coats, for obvious reasons. I usually don't do update posts, not unless the nail color deserves recognition as an outstanding nail color. In my opinion, Pop Beauty does deserve a shout out! From the formula to the application to the long wearing, everything is a thumbs up in my book. I am glad I was able to pick this up from Hautelook for only $3. I will definitely keep my eyes on Hautelook for the next Pop Beauty event.

Just a reminder of how the fresh manicure looked like last week…

Not much of a difference I dare say. With the exception of my nails growing and the slight chipping at the tip. For the most part, no fading, no major chipping or anything of that sort. I think it is rather important to mention that I did NOT apply a top coat to this manicure, so all the props goes to Pop Beauty. I did however use a base coat, so for what it’s worth, the combination of drug store nail colors I used all can last for more than a week.

If you are interested in how I created this manicure, please feel free to visit my manicure post from last week called Pink Popsicle ; just clicky click on the link and it should take you to said post.

That shall be it for today. Enjoy the rest of your night. As always, much appreciation for your visits and taking time to read. Enjoy the rest of your day now my pretties. Please do come back real soon. :)

Manicure Monday: Pink Popsicle

Hello pretties, all my pretties, you pretties. Hahaha. I am in such a great mood today and I am not sure why! And I frankly don't need to know why!! :D

Switched up my nails today to a pretty pink. Pink is my happy color. I either wear it because I am in a great mood or I wear it to put me in a great mood. Today's choice of pink is called Pink Popsicle and it's from Pop Beauty. This is the first time I am using this ever since ordering it from Hautelook a while ago. I actually did a post about it, click here if you're interested.

I also used a glitter top coat from Sephora by OPI that I also ordered from Hautelook. You can also check that out above! :)

Pink Popsicle is a pretty pale pink shade. It is not too pale that it is almost white, but not too pink that it is bubble pink. Which is great because I own nothing like this shade. It is truly very beautiful.

The formula is very creamy and more on the runny side. Ya know how some nail colors can be a bit too thick and makes the application so much harder? Well this applies like a dream. Two thin coats and it is good to go. The shin is amazing as well; what you see in the pics above are its own shine, no top coat necessary. Dry time takes about 15 minutes for the first coat, and about half an hour for the second coat.

I am not really liking the glitter formula from Sephora by OPI, it is too watery for my liking. Unlike nail colors, I prefer my glitters to be more thick. This is not by any means a bad glitter; I can definitely use it for other things.

Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. Please come back soon! :)
