Burt’s Bees, one of my essential kikay products

// August 14th, 2010 // No Comments » // Nail Love

Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream gives your deprived nails a helping hand. It nurtures and moistens nails and cuticles with this rigorous, natural therapy. It has a touch of lemon oil that makes your nails smell incredibly clean, healthy and beautiful, naturally.

Burts Bees

One of my favorite product is Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream. This is one of my staples. It’s very useful especially for someone who gets hang nails or who doesn’t have a regular manicure (like me). It also gives an instant moisture on your finger tips or toe nails that makes it look like you just had manicure or pedicure.

One pot costs around Php 385 and you can get it at any Beauty Bar store. So far my pot of Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream has been with me for 2 years even when used occasionally.

Although I’m not a regular in the area, this Christmas season led me to visit Serendra more than one time – it was just a great ambience cozy enough to hang out with good friends.

On the 2nd floor, you can see Nail Tropics at a secluded area as you turn left, and it reveals a small, but cozy atmosphere of cushioned chairs. (more…)

Bizzie Lizzie Nail Salon and Day Spa

// July 31st, 2007 // 2 Comments » // Nail Love

My best friend J isn’t crazy about having her nails done in a salon – she gets irritated with the sound of the blower, and isn’t okay with the business of the place, with people running around, and all. My best friend J is one of the people who influenced me to the world of nail pampering, and boy is she just critical and “maselan”. Her idea of nail pampering is a quiet, cozy place, with La-Z boy chairs, and first class service.

And she found it in Bizzie Lizzie.

Bizzie Lizzie is a full service and one-stop nail spa salon situated in Annapolis, Greenhills. Their services include nail art, the usual manicure-pedicure, body massages, waxing, reflexology, and UV nails – a great alternative to acrylic nails, which is described as,

In one of my attempts of taking good photographs, well, this was the best that I could do a few weeks ago ( until I discovered the beauty of good lighting? hahaha! the picture looked like it was about to rain, but really, it was a sunny sunny day! sorry! ) Does it show that even in photography, I am still smitten with beauty products as my subjects? Oh yes, that’s true!

This was my birthday beauty loot from my friends that I received last June ( well, part of! ) . They sure know what this girl’s mind is thinking!

Oh, wow! Even dogs can wear nail polishes too. Elle Woods ( or realistically, Paris Hilton ) would be thrilled to have this for her dog! Give your pets a pet-icure by getting one of these! It’s quick-drying and works in one coat already! Haha, this is just too cute! (more…)

Don’t Go Breaking My Nails…Don’t Go Breaking My Heart!

// July 4th, 2007 // 3 Comments » // Kikay Thoughts, Nail Love

Remember the nails that I was staring at all week, up to the extent that I wanted to have them bronzed ( well, it didn’t push thru, I mean, how can I blog with bronzed hands? Hahahaha! )

This is just a reminder that if you are planning on having your nails grown long to be always careful with your actions! This is high maintenance!

The beautiful manicure only lasted me a week because I was busy packing minerals for the Beauty & Minerals Day, opening containers, and stuff. (more…)

Nails of the Week : Orly French Manicure in Flirty Girl

// July 1st, 2007 // 12 Comments » // Kikay Thoughts, Nail Love

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.
