Marble Nails 🩶


Long time no glue-on nails!

Last year I tried these nails from a dollar-like store (Prichos) and they were actually pretty good. They keep coming up with different desings but nothing that had caught my attention until I saw these. Maybe it's because I haven't been into pastel nails lately, idk. But I really liked these marble nails along with the grey ones. They look really clean and beautiful together so, I got them.

Same as the previous set, they are squared nails, my favorites. The set comes with 24 nails and liquid glue. Which is pretty good for the price I paid for these nails. They last for about a week.

I like the fact that they are thin, they feel a little more natural somehow and they are definitely comfortable. Plus, it's easier to cut and file them if you want to. The lenght is pretty decent too, it allows you do things without worrying about the nails, which is something I always appreciate.

Even tho I liked the lenght, I did cut them a little bit, I thought they looked better like that, at least on my hands.

This is how they looked with the original lenght

And this is how they look after cutting them a little

I'm deffo gonna buy more if I find other cute designs. I'm also tempted to get more like these because, I really liked them.

See  you next time~!💋

Squashed Raspberry 💅


Quick post to show you what's currently on my nails, it's the Flormar Full Color Nail Enamel in the shade "Squashed Raspberry" (FC13). This is an oldie that I think I haven't worn much. I was obsessed with this nail polishes years ago and I got many but I didn't share all of them here.



It's a bright berry red color that feels perfect for the Spring time. What I like about these nail polishes is that you don't need to apply too many coats to get a full, intense color. It has a shiny finish and dries kinda quickly.


Durability wise, it is ok. It lasts for about a week looking decent but it does need a couple of touch-ups here and there, especially if you do the dishes and stuff. Haha. 
I have more of these nail polishes in pretty nice shades, I might share more in the future.

See you next time~! 💋

Natural Ombre Glue-On Nails

              

As part of my bday pressies, I received this glue-on nails from Shein. Thet're called Fashion Nail Exquisite Goddess Faner (such a loooong name!). I do have things from Shein but they have been mostly gifts, I think I've only bought a blouse I wanted for a Halloween costume. But, I'm pretty happy with the things I have, no complaints.

These nails are square shaped of course and, had this lovely and very natural looking ombre, which is something I really liked. 


The package comes with 24 nails, a small nail file and 2 glue sticker sheets. I have to say the glue stickers are amazing! The application is way cleaner and easier than using liquid glue and the durability was great too! I only used one sheet so, I'm defo using the other one for future nails, hehe.
Speaking of durability, my nails looked great for over a week! I basically had to remove them because my natural nails were growing and they didn't look as nice anymore. But the colors never faded or anything. 


I got many compliments on these nails because yeah, they look fab! I kept them long, I just loved how they looked and thought I'd ruin the ombre if I cut them.


What I love about glue-on nails is that you can have fab nails without spending a lot. I mean, I've seen some amazing looking ones that are more expensive but still, there's something for every budget.

See you next time~! ♡

Cute glue-on nails 🩵🩷

 After getting acrylic nails, my nails were super ugly and damaged. I decided to remove them myself and I ended up with super thin nails, I had to cut them super short and some of my fingers hurt a little so. Lesson learned, I'll have them properly removed next time. 😅

I'm not new to glue-on nails, I used to buy them a lot in the past. I especially loved the ones from Elegant Touch. They have the cutest colors, look pretty natural and the glue has great quality. Not long ago, I saw these nails online and, since they had a good review, I wanted to try them. 

They are from Prichos (which is like a dollar store you can find in most Walmart stores over here) and, even tho they were very cheap, they had like 3 different sets with pretty designs. They were all square shape tho.


I chose this one mainly because of the hearts design. Not saying the plain ones aren't pretty but, the hearts caught my attention. Plus, the colors felt bright and lively.


The kit comes with 24 nails, this gives you the chance to wear them twice if the sizes are right and, some glue. The glue is pretty good for a cheap one. It dries fast and glues the nails strongly without damaging your nails when you remove them. 


They last for about a week, the application is clean and easy and since they aren't very thick, they feel comfortable. 

I have very bad and awkward hand posing but still wanted to show you how the nails looked. They have a very decent lenght that allows you to do things.

I did apply them 10 minutes before my class so I didn't choose the sizes very carefully so, some of the nails ended up being slightly big on my actual nails. Oh well~

I ended up cutting and filing them a little bit. I kinda like them a little bit more this way.

Honestly, I was impressed with the quality of these nails and I kinda want to buy the other designs too have around whenever I want/need them. They are defo worth it, especially because they are very, very affordable.
 
See you next time~! ♡

Simple Pink Acrylic Nails 💕

Time to show you what's currently on my nails.

I think I've mentioned this before but, it is almost impossible for me to keep my nails long and pretty. They are very weak and break easily. I've tried press on nails before and, even tho I like them, they are not the best option if you want to keep them for over a week.

Last weekend, my sister and I randomly decided to get our nails done. Last time I got acrylic nails was many years ago and my experience with them wasn't exactly the best.

These are the designs we chose. I guess they both reflect our personalities, hehe.

I decided to go for square nails, to me, they are classic and pretty. I think I played it safe tho, choosing my staple pale pink and glitter. There's something about that combo I find clean and cute. It goes well with everything!


Even tho they are slightly longer than I'd usually go for, they feel comfortable and allow me to do things naturally. There is something about long nails that makes you hands look instantly prettier, haha. Plus it's gonna be super convenient to have them looking like this without having to worry about them for a while.



I can see myself becoming addicted to them, you know, I love papmering myself~ ♡

ESSIE Gel Couture | All Dressed Up💅 |

 

Here we have a quick look at what's currently on my nails, it's the ESSIE Gel Couture "All Dressed Up" (1108), which is a creamy dusty rose kind of shade. 



It's described as a "spicy tea rose" color, I don't exactly know what that means but, sounds pretty cute. To me is one of those colors you can't go wrong with. It's pretty, clean and neutral.
You only need to apply two coats to get an even color, plus it has a shiny, gel type finish. 


Essie nail polishes have a great quality in general and last a little longer than other brands I've tried. They are defo worth it.
And well guys, that is that, I'm keeping it super short this time, hehe.

I'll see you next time~! ♡

Currently on my nails~ 💅


Quick nail polish update just because my nails are long and pretty right now and, I recently bought this lovely pink nail polish.

The brand is called MZY &, and it's my first time buying it. They have a big variety of colors and some glitters too.

It's a really pretty bubble gum pink that doesn't need to many coats to get an even color. Durability wise, it's pretty decent. Especially considering it was very affordable. 



Anyway, I'll keep this post super short, just wanted to show you what's currently on my nails. 💅

See you next time~! ♡

Current fav nail polish 💜


 Quick update on what's currently on my nails. This is a really pretty nail polish from Bissú called "Corazón Soñador" (533)

I receive this nails polish as part of my birthday pressies earlier this year. It is a very pretty pastel lilac shade that, to me, looks very 90s! It is fun and bright which makes it perfect for the Spring - Summer season. I'm obsessed.


It is kinda creamy (if that makes any sense) and it dries pretty quickly after applying, something I always appreciate.

Bissú nail polishes are always pretty decent durability wise. Of course, I have to retouch every couple of days (without applying a top coat) but, it's never too bad. 

I've been loving this color so much that, I even applied it on my toe nails, which are usually pink.

Now that I think about it, I've been wearing purple / lilac colors on my nails a lot lately. No matter the season.

Current Nail Polish~ 💜

Let's talk about what's currently on my nails for a bit cuz, I feel like these nail polish posts are becoming less and less frequent around here. I used to love blogging about my newest additions and stuff but, I just don't buy many anymore cuz, I have a lot!

I don't know if you guys remember the 24 Days of Christmas Pressies post, I showed you 2 new nail polishes I received and well, they are too cute not to show again!

I finally decided to try this one, I already wore the pink one twice but forgot to share around here. Maybe next time! This one is a lilac polish, the brand is called NHC Long Lasting and the color is #178. At first I thought the color would be very similar to the to the Lure Lavender Bloom or Chic Gray by CANMAKE  but this one is slightly darker and with a different finish. It actually dries a lot darker than what you see on the bottle, I still find it really nice and clean looking and it feels like a good transition color to go from Winter to Spring.

The smell is a little strong but it goes away as soon as it dries. Plus, it dries super fast! Thats is something I always appreciate, hehe.

Now, let's take a moment to appreciate how pretty the presentation is. Very simple, yet cute. The golden bow on the top makes it look super girly. It looks nice everywhere and could also make a cute decoration on a vanity.

Durability wise, I'd say it's like a regular nail polish, its lasts for a couple of days if you take care of it but, I don't mind retouching it every now and then.

And, that is that for what's on my nails. Hehe.

See you next time~! ♡

Metallic Champagne


I can't remember the last time I wore a metallic nail polish. I used to like them years ago, when L.A. Colors was my favorite nail polish brand~ It's been a while.

But my mom bought this Cosmetic Lab nail polish called "Champagne Metálico" (Metallic Champagne) and I liked how it looked on her so, I wanted to try it.

I feel like even tho it's a metallic shade, the color is kinda neutral and makes your hands look very clean with a fun twist.

These nail polishes and other products from this brand can be found at Walmart. They have a big variety of colors, they are pigmented and you don't need too many layers to get an even color. 

Durability wise, they last for about a week but they do chip when you do the dishes, lol. I've tried other non-metallic colors from this brand and I feel they last a little longer. It also takes too long to dry because the consistency is thick.

Do you like metallic nail polishes?
