The mall was very crowded that day when I came accross these scented nail polishes. I think the sales lady knows what I'm into so she came up to me and showed the collection they have.
What: BYS Scented Nail Polish
Where to buy: Watsons and SM Department Stores Price: P200
I bought five BYS scented nail polishes in Fruity, Strawberry, Cherry, Bubble Gum and Cherry Blossom. The first two were metallic and the last three has a creme finish.

It didn't turn out that way but I pretended I didn't care. I'm happy with a few exchange of glances smiles and a little chat. That's a good start, right?
Anyway, there were tons of people during the event, the patron entrance was crowded and my right leg was hurting. I went away from the long queue and leaned on a nearby post, besides, my marketing friends will definitely reserve me a seat. I just stood there patiently waiting when he came up to me and ask if I were okay because my face tells otherwise. Our little chat continued but when the line started moving, we had to join the group
I have been looking into different nail polish top coats available in the Philippine market in an affordable price. Something an average enthusiast can take out of their snack budget.
Here are my top three finds which you can find at the nearest Watsons or SM Department Store:
1. Bobbie Xtreme Gloss Gel Top Coat
If you want your mincure to be ten times glossier, this is definitely a must try. Its formula is thicker and stickier than your average sheer top coat. It felt dealing with mozzarella cheese at first but you'll get the hang of it.
Price: P80
During the holidays, I purchased a bunch of Caronia nail polishes to be used for their onging contests and the Night Glam Collection is just one of them. I didn't win but it sure was fun looking for it and actually making something out of it
What: Caronia Night Glam Nail Polish Collection
Where to buy: Watsons and SM Department Stores Price: P42
The Caronia Night Glam Collection comes in three different shades namely Platinum Glitter, Emeral Shimmer and Saphire Glow. It was kind of difficult to swatch because of its transparent liquid formula. You either pack the glitters thoroughly with a paper towel or cosmetic sponge or you'll easily find small bare spaces speacially on the dark colored ones.
What does that have to do with me?
I personally didn't know what was going on until she sat in the long table and said "Someone from our office complained about the toga." Nobody knows who that someone was but she have an idea, plus it really doesn't concern me so after listening to her, I went back doing my own business without a word.
The Heavenly Glitz Collection has been around since 2011 and includes four festive glitter nail polishes namely Big Bang, Solar Burst, Star Gazer, and Super Nova. Then again, I haven't seen these nail polishes for quite.some time and thought they were probably discontinued so I was really happy when I got a hold of it again.
What: Bobbie Heavenly Glitz Collection
Where to buy: Watsons and SM Department Stores Price: P48.75 per bottle
I purchased the Shopaholic Collection together with the Flour Power Collection. Like I said in my previous post, this is the first time I'm actually trying this line. I had high hopes when I purchased these polishes and I wasn't disappointed when I swatched the Flour Power collection.
What: Colortrends Shopaholic Collection
Where to buy: Watsons and SM Department Stores Price: P22 per bottle
Colortrends is another brand of nail polish created by Chic Centre. Unlike Chic and Bobbie, the formula is a little thicker and less sheer. I've been using Bobbie and Chic for awhile now but this is the first time I'm trying out this particular line from the same company. Since it is quite affordable, I was able to purchase this entire collection together with the Shopaholic Collection.
First, my MRI results revealed three new tumors around 3cm in size each. I'm a neurofibromatosis patient for eight years now and had two operations. For four years, I had one tumor and I was able to keep it small so it was alarming to get three new ones all of a sudden. I was so scared I started researching and now I'm trying my best to control my appetite, get regular walks and eat healthy meals.
Second, work has been crazy busy and overwhelming. Someone was claiming he paid me for the shares but didn't sign any forms. I checked my records, did a cash count and it matched. Then he came back to me and changed his claims. Luckily, he was yelling and someone was sitting behind me and heard everything he said.
Welmanson is probably my favorite store in Quiapo, Manila. Whenever we visit the church, I make sure to have a little money with me to buy some beading, nail art supplies and little trinkets. It's also the most organized one I've found along that area.
Holy week will start around early April so I'm planning to start making rosaries ready before the procession starts. Here are a few I got for some really affordable prices.
There was something I was able to confirm though. I'm not part of the office family. I thought after three years of working with the same people and doing my best with my job the way they look at me will change, but it didn't. They still treat me as an outcast and the things that happened throughout this week proved that they're all just waiting for something wrong to happen.
I've been craving for some ramyun that day but the cheapest korean restaurant near campus is always full. Then a friend suggested me to try one near Pag-asa market. It's the orange colored store with clear glass windows and food signages.
It's been there for a long time but I was too scared to go in because in the past, the windows were tinted. The building isn't so appealing from outside either. But after my friend confirmed that the food is good, I just gotta try.
The place isn't that bad inside. I can't really feel the aircon but it's not hot either. I also like their partitions because people don't get to see how much I'm eating given the right table.
I'm a huge nail art enthusiast. It's my creative outlet and I spend on it more than an average woman would. Most of it are not easy to find as well or would cost you much for shipping. But trust me, there are a lot of alternatives that deliver almost the same quality and sometimes even better.
