Aren’t they beautiful??? The color, the shape ( squared perfection! ) If you say they’re not, then I’m mad at you ! Hahaha! ( Naw, kidding , just half-mad. Hahaha!).

I have just started giving attention to my nails this year for I felt that I wasn’t getting any younger. I am incredibly high maintenance in terms of doing my makeup and fixing my hair, but when it came to nails, well, I sorta abused them way back. Used to open things using them, and do heavy-duty stuff, being the merciless master. Awww, they must hate me now. But I guess it’s time to make up for my wrongdoings, so I’ve decided to indulge myself in a mani-pedi like an obedient schoolgirl every three to four weeks.

I’ve been asking Cristine’s brother ( thanks ahia! ) to ship stuff from me from the US, and thank god , they have so much great nail polish brands there. My first addiction was Orly nail polishes, specially the French Mani ones. They can also be bought at Rustans, by the way. What I like about French Manicure shades is that they’re sort of transluscent and sheer, and don’t go too opaque. Apply three coats and they’d have a solid color, but still not quite. They’re not chalky and I hate chalky. The shade that I am wearing in the picture is Flirty Girl (very, very opposite my personality, but hey, hopefully I can get the vibe from it! )

Flirty Girl is a sheer, Barbie pink. The pink is one of the prettiest that I have ever seen. It’s sheer, and take note, that’s already three coats, and the moons on my nails are still visible. No french tips for me , since I feel that they chip off quite easily.

When my mani-pedi at Jesse Mendez Galleria ( with very very kind and experienced nail technicians, I must say ) was done , I was immediately smitten. This is love. Yes, crazy, mad love. I love it!

Gosh, I’ve been staring at those nails for the whole week! To the point that if they’re glass, they’d break from my stares….Oh no. Oh no. I can’t say!!!

Stay tuned for the next entry, of the fate that my nails had!

Hint : If love never lasts forever, tell me, what’s forever for?
