Bonfire Mani

   For the Annual Ateneo Bonfire I wanted to paint my nails blue and white, our school colors, but I didn't have any white polish.So I just did this:

Two coats of OPI Servin' Up Sparkle over one coat of The Face Shop BL 604.

one coat of BL 604. Yeah, I know, right.

    TFS BL 604 is one of my favoritest nail polishes ever. I've had it for two years and there are no signs of discoloration or separation or whatever. So it saddened me that I couldn't close the bottle anymore. Well, at first try. The next day I was able to close it, no problem.

This was the most it would go.

   My Bonfire mani was not very Bonfire-y but it did remind me of the fireworks that go off after the bonfire is lit.

Find the deformed hidden Mickey!

   So I'm renaming it My Bonfireworks Mani. Shut up, this is MY blog.

   It also reminds me of the view when you look down from the hill, where the Ateneo is.

Down from the hill, down to the world go I....

  I am in love with this mani.

    This shot captures the awesomeness of Servin' Up Sparkle:

I'm sorry for my greasy fingers. Blame the rain. And the chicken. Long story.

   Do you see that sparkly sparkle? You can't miss it. (Unless you're blind)

NYX Haul

   Weeee! Ateneo won! 4-peat champions baby!

   So, to celebrate, I bought 4 polishes from last Sunday's Megabrands sale at the SM Megamall.

   I'm kidding, I didn't buy 4 polishes because of the 4-peat. It just so happened that one booth had a buy 2 take 1 promo (300php) on their NYX polishes, and another booth was selling the same NYX polishes for only 95php, so I just had to buy one more.

   Anyway, here they are:

l-r: Moonwalk, Purple Ink, Sexy Plum, Dorothy

   I know I said in my last post that I would buy pink polish for the next Pink Wednesday, but these colors were just too lovely I couldn't pass them up.

   I'm wearing Sexy Plum right now.

   It's a very dark red, almost black. 

   I asked my mom what my nails reminded her of. Her reply? Eggplants.

   Uh, I think someone needs to have her eyes checked.

   When I went to the Megabrands sale, I had no intention of buying NYX nail polish. I was after the Misa ones, but they were out of stock. Also, the NYX ones were the cheapest ones, so naturally I went for them.


    And I'm glad I did. Sexy Plum can be a one-coater, but I did two coats anyway just to be consistent. I had no trouble applying it. The photos don't do it justice. Just trust me on this.

   And in case you're wondering what color I wore watching the championship game (on TV; I had class so I didn't bother getting tickets), well here it is:

Elianto Blue Splash

   But I think you'll like this picture better:

yummeh! Bon Chon love <3

   Woohooo!!! 4-peat! See you all at the bonfire! :)

The Face Shop BL605 aka Ateneo Blue

   When the Ateneo Blue Eagles made it to the finals a few days ago, I painted my nails blue in preparation for Game 1 against the FEU Tamaraws. I knew I wouldn't be able to watch it as I had work, so I just showed my support through my nails.

  
   This one is The Face Shop BL605. (Really, TFS should give names to their polishes, not just numbers. Numbers are boring.)

   You have to forgive my far-from-perfect manicure. I took these pictures days after I did my nails. And it was I who did my nails, so it would look imperfect regardless.

   I consider this nail polish lucky because it was the same polish I was wearing when we won last year. And we did win yesterday!

   Needless to say, I'm not taking this nail polish off until we win on Tuesday. And we shall!

   Honestly speaking, I don't know for sure if this really is THE Ateneo blue, but among the blue nail polishes in my collection, it sure is the closest to royal blue.
 

L-R: TFS BL605, TFS BL604, Elianto Blue Splash, Elianto Aqua, Etude House BL 501

   And when we do get that 4-peat, hmmm.... I'll keep you posted. :)
   GO ATENEO! ONE BIG FIGHT!
