Nails: Essie Chinchilly

hello there! so i know i've been slacking on YT videos but i thought i'd share a NOTW (nails of the week) to make up for it.

this shade of grey would probably be one that is similar to metro chic but not a dupe because i feel like this shade is a lot more wearable and lighter than metro chic. i really like this shade and these pictures were taken after 2-3 days of painting so i'm very impressed with the staying power. i have been using a new top coat which i will speak about in my upcoming june hits & misses video whenever i have the time to film that is!

hope everyone is doing well and this swatch helps! (:

Nails: Essie Van D'go

so this was last week (May 22-28th ) Nail Of The Week (NOTW)

Essie Van D'go

i really liked this color! i feel like it's great for the summer time. it's a light pink/coral color.

i started collecting more Essie colors just recently before my recent haul of Essie polishes i only owned 2-3 colors and i will say i am beginning to love that brand of polish but for me personally i still like China Glaze as my top brand but Essie is one of my top brands as well and i would definately recommend Essie polishes.

i'm gonna try to get back into the habit of doing these NOTW so you can get more swatches of different polishes that i own! (:

How-to Color your Hair at Home (w/ video)

Step 1:
make sure you have all the supplies you need including the color of your choice + the right amount of developer for your color.

i have hair that is an 1-2 inch(es) past my shoulder & i got 2 bottles but i think i would've done fine w/ 1 bottle as i ended up w/ a lot of leftover. in my opinion you would only need 2 if your hair is down to your boob or somewhere in that area.


the side of the bottle will tell you how much developer to color you will need to the color you have.


Step 2:
next you will add the color & the developer together into a hair coloring bottle i would suggest putting the developer in first as it is a cream consistency so it will sit as the color will just fall right into the creme.



Step 3:
once all is in the bottle you will need to shake to mix well.

Step 4:
once all the color is in your hair bun it all together put a processing cap on.


Step 5:
wait 25 minutes!


Step 6:
wash color out followed by shampooing and conditioning. you can use a special conditioner for color treating hair or your regular one.



Step 7: done!
allow to dry with a blow dryer or air drying.

Elf Studio Line + Forever 21 Haul (video)

once again i have neglected to update this blog of mine. i apologize for that as i was caught up with school and life but if you've been visiting my youtube you would know that i've actually been up-to-date on videos and have managed to get at least 1 video up every week. (:

last saturday my sister and i were suppose to buy manny pacquiao shirts to get into our filipino spirit of representing him but when we got to champs all the size small shirts were gone! instead of being super sad about it we just took it as a sign that "it wasn't meant to be" and ended up doing a bit of shopping at forever 21 which i was kinda looking forward to doing anyway since it's beginning to transition from spring into summer. if you want to see all that i have hauled from there as well as my ELF studio stuff.. watch the video below.



i do hope to start updating on here more often. once again sorry for my absence on here!

I'm Still Here!

sorry i've been lacking on updates here on my blog! i've been so caught up w/ life! i will try to get back to updating more frequently but on another note i have been keeping up w/ my YT channel quite a bit. i use to post the videos on here as well but i just forget to. i need to start doing that again as well as posting my nail polish color posts like i use to.

Essie Mint Candy Apple + APOTHICA GIVEAWAY!

I've always heard about Essie being one of the best nail polish brands out there but never really tried it out. Finally, I saw this awesome color called mint candy apple and really wanted to try it out since it is very comprable to a lot of mint colors that are out there and mint is a very unique color and pleasing to the eye when on your nails. If you're curious to see the wide selection of Essie nail polishes, you check it out at Apothica.com along with other great brands that they carry such as too faced, smashbox, cargo, stila, and much much more.

Essie Mint Candy Apple is one of the most unique/pretty colors i've ever seen. The consistancy of the polish is not thick and you'll only need 2 coats for the perfect application. It's quite pigmented and does not have any streaky-ness to it that other polish may have. A mint green polish that's matte and I love it!

Check out this color and many more Essie colors at Apothica.com (:
