NOTW: Pink Lilac

I frequently paint my nails but I have never posted an NOTD/NOTW or however other beauty bloggers call posts that are all about our nails and nail polishes. I've taken some photos of my nails for NOTW posts but never bothered to post them. This is going to be my first post on nails, and I'll try to follow this up with future posts. I don't do nail arts although I could. I did once, but because I don't have the luxury of time to keep doing it regularly, I haven't done another design since my first try. As much as I love nail art, it requires a much longer time compared to just painting your nails with one solid color. Ah... Sad.

I have tons of nail polishes but most of them are reds, purples, browns and bronzes. I bought a few neon shades recently but I haven't gotten around to playing with them yet. I stick to darker hues coz they make my skin tone much fairer. Pastels are okay, but they bore me. I also don't spend much on nail polishes coz I always use a base coat prior to painting my nails. Inexpensive local polishes are okay, although it's usually a hit and miss with them.


Here's the shade that I'm sporting this week. It's called Pink Licac and it closely resembles my NYX round lipsticks in Thalia and Perfect and even B52, although a little bit more muted than that. It's a rare occasion for me to be wearing pastels and pinks on my tips and toes since I wear reds and dark purples almost all the time; however, since I was getting a little bored with reds, I decided to try a different hue, and this is what I picked. I was choosing between this and another pink one that's more of a fuschia shade, but because I wasn't feeling very adventurous that day, I opted for a paler hue.

I don't regret painting my nails with this shade coz I think that it has made my tips and toes look more sophiscated which is very different from the sultry and vampy nails that I often wear. In my opinion, it looks quite creamy (in the second picture) and would probably be more suited for ladies with fair to light medium skin tones.

The consistency of the nail polish is okay. It's not runny and doesn't look streaky when applied on the nails. It does, however, take ages to dry. Another thing to note is that it hasn't chipped or faded on me since I put it on on Sunday. Not bad for a local nail polish, eh?



Thanks for reading everyone!
