NEUTRAL & GOLD

INTRODUCING my new additions in my collection of nail polishes:


These are new nail polishes that we got in at my workplace, which I also decided to add in my collection of nail polishes at home. 

Left: TFS Trendy Nails "PK106"
Right: TFS Trendy Nails "GL1006 Sand Crystal Beige"

If I'm remembering correctly, the one on the left is $4 and the one on the right is $5.

I decided to do my nails with these two colors the other day because I was just totally in love with both colors. 


Left to right: Base coat, Top coat, Beige, Gold



I used the nude-ish color as the "main," and used the gold glitter as accents.
These two colors create a neutral but attention-grabbing vibe to the nails, and it looks good in pretty much any outfit, any time of the day.

I absolutely am in love with these two colors, it's like ridiculous.

If you want to check out any of our nail polishes, make sure to stop by! :)

Gradiation Gel Nail

I got my nails done about a week and a half ago with my friend Eunice, aka Miss Danbee.

I went to a place called "For Your Nails Only" on Wilshire Blvd and Gramercy Pl (I think).
This place is run by I believe Vietnamese people, so prices are pretty good.
My personal conclusion about getting nails done is that if you're looking for something simple, why pay the ridiculous amount at a Korean nail shop? To get one color, french, or even gradation gel nail, it's pointless to go to a Korean nail shop for the ridiculous price. 

For Your Nails Only for Gel Nail:
-One color: $23
-French or Gradation: $25

A typical Korean nail salon for Gel Nail:
-One color: $40
-French or Gradation: $45

On the other hand, if you're going for designs that aren't necessarily "simple," you definitely should just pay the price and goto a Korean nail salon. From my observations, Korean people are better with detail-oriented nail designs. If you want the design you picked out, then might as well pay up and get what you want.

The little jewels and ribbons --- I think the prices vary depending on the nail shop. It was pretty expensive at For Your Nails Only because that one ribbon was $4. I don't regret getting it, but it's definitely expensive.



The best part about French tip or gradation gel nails is that it looks even prettier after your nails grow out. I didn't attach a current picture of my nails but they're definitely prettier now than when I first got it done.

Cats and Dogs

I randomly saw this at Rite Aid and I knew I had to try it out.
How can I resist nail stickers with not only cats and dogs but MUSTACHES too?!



As soon as I got home, I took pictures and got right to work.
I had recently cut my nails so they weren't as nice looking as they could've been, but the cuteness of these nail stickers were enough. It definitely was a huge plus that the set included some that were french tip style.

The packaging tells you how to apply this, but pretty much you just find one that fits the size of your nail and stick it on. Using the nail filer, you file it right at the tip of your nail and remove the left over sticker and dispose it.
In the attempts of using the nail stickers to its maximum potential, I used the left over portions of some of the stickers that were too big for my tiny nails to cover a few of my smaller nails.






I absolutely love these nail stickers. It gives such flavor and personality to my nails that I can't stop looking at them all the time. 

You should go get these from Rite Aid too. :)
