NOTW: Weng Weng + Latest Haul

I did my nails again. I got a little bored with my Christmas nails so I decided to change it to something prettier two nights ago.

I was choosing between this shade called Weng Weng (ridiculous, I know) and a pretty sparkly sky blue one called Sleigh (both from Bobbie), until I decided to paint Weng Weng on my nails.


As you can see, Weng Weng is a gorgeous but very complex hue. It looks somewhat like a hologram to me, with touches of purple, blue, green, gray and silver. The micro glitters/sparklers are another complex thing. Oh, and there's some kind of a purplish pearly iridescence to it, too. Really, I can't describe this shade. It's such a gorgeous shade that gives a somewhat sophisticated appeal.

This shade is so one of a kind. I've seen nothing quite like this shade here in the Philippines. I'm not sure if this is part of Bobbie's holiday collection, so I suggest you grab yourself a bottle of it and their other nail polishes. I will surely get myself a back up of this as I see myself wearing this color on both my tips and toes for quite a long time. I guess the complex but beautiful tones of this nail polish make up for the silly name, eh?

I am in love with it. The photo just doesn't do it justice.

Before I end this quick post and go back to sleep since I'm still feverish, I'll post a photo of my latest haul for the week. I have about three packages coming next week, though I'm not sure if I'll be posting those. I just thought I'd add this one.

1. ELF Contouring Blush and Bronzer Duo
2. NYX Runway Collection 10pc Eyeshadow Palette in Champagne and Caviar
3. ELF Mineral Blush in Tickled Pink
4. ELF Mineral Blush in Peachy Keen
5. NYX Long Lip Pencil in Pinky
6. NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Black Bean
7. NYX Round Lipstick in Fig (Finally!)

a. The Face Shop Mask
b. Sample of UDPP
c. Wine Elixir sample (anti-wrinkle and firming night cream)
d. Aqua Vita sample (24hour moisturizing cream for normal/dry skin)

Will do reviews and swatches of these in the coming weeks! So keep an eye on them!

*Sorry for the crappy picture quality. I took all pictures with my phone since I'm still sick.

NOTW: Mistletoe Kiss + Latest Acquisition

Two posts in a day? Why not? I deserve even a couple of minutes break from a busy day, ya know.

I realized that I haven't posted my nails for the week though I've already snapped a photo of my lovely nail varnish a couple of times in the past week.

I just want to tell you all that... I have found the perfect green nail varnish! I have always wanted to try other colors on my tips and toes but I was always too chicken to wear colors other than reds, browns/bronzes and purples. Well, not anymore; thanks to Angie's nail polish blog. Angie features gorgeous shades of nail polishes from popular Asian brands such as Skin Food, The Face Shop and Elianto, and even some local ones like Caronia, Bobbie, Caress, and Ever Bilena. If you haven't dropped by her site yet, click away and feast your eyes on some of the most beautiful shades ever.

Now on to this lovely nail polish from Bobbie, a homegrown nail polish brand. Mistletoe Kiss has got to be the most outrageous shade that I've worn so far, and I am so diggin' it! This is the perfect green and the perfect Holiday nails for me. While this goes on sheer on the first coat, it goes opaque after the second.

Isn't it lovely? (I took this photo with my new phone. Neat eh?)

And here is a shot of my latest acquisition. (Sorry for the poor lighting and terrible angle; I snapped this photo a few minutes ago in my office.)

I purchased these sexy killer shoes off the shelves of People are People for half its original price after a short stop at Top Shop the other day (I got a pretty top and mini skirt from Top Shop). More pictures of me wearing these babies in my next post! Stay tuned beautiful ladies!
