If I have FOTDs from the past >>read post here<< I definitely have NOTDs from the past.
I used to be nail salon addict, it’s like I am having my nails done every two weeks. Due to financial constraints I need to slash down my regular trip to the salon. Beside le bf is not a fan of my neon green polishes. (I love eye catching nail polishes and nail art)
I can clean my own nails but I am not really talented in putting nail polish. I get frustrated every time there’s an uneven application.
I even got myself a nail art machine but using it was such an epic fail. Now it’s inside the box looking for someone who will use it more often than I do.
Now I only get my nails done if I will be attending special occasions. There’s no nail salon near our area, I need to go to SM Calamba to look for a decent salon.
Yesterday, GirlStuff forever sent me these.
It’s like my love for nail polish rekindled in just a sec. Since my sister is good at this I will let her paint my nails.
I am so excited to showcase them all to you. I shall make a separate introduction about GirlStuff early next week so you will see.
Meanwhile I grabbed some old photos of my nails.
Any purple and platinum catches my eyes. I like having neat nails for work. If I am not mistaken this was done at Nail-a-holics in SM Megamall.
If I am feeling a little edgy I ask the manicurist to do some nail art. Here she made me a tiger stripes. She used Touch of Tan here by Caronia and then a random black polish.
When I wore this nails all the people in our meeting got distracted. They told me that I have cute nails. haha
I had my nails done and I wanted to try the nail art machine I bought, but the polish included in the machine was too rubbery. So I ended up doing some random designs on my nails – abstract is the right word. I am also testing the Aperture setting of my camera that time.
Much worst, I paired it with cracked nails for my toes. haha
The reason I don’t wear much nail polish now is because they chip off easily. 
I was afraid to wear this pussy red nails because I thought it will make my hands darker than its original skin tone but it looked good.
And for my most recent nails, March 16, 2013 I played safe by using a matte metallic polish.
I am happy that I have taken a photograph of my nails. Now I am thinking if I will do this again, I really can’t do it on my own hands. LOL
I salute all the girls like Aya of codenameaya.com for doing a wonderful job for their nails.
Who does your nails? Do you suck at DIY manicures like me?
SAMMY xx
HA! I do my own nails all the time! I LOVE everything and anything to do with nails and polish! I also have a blog but it is devoted to nail polish..but that does NOT mean I am any good… I actually suck at nail art…Wish I was better but it is just not in me…But doesn’t stop me. and never will, from doing my own nails!
I wish I have the same determination as you are, I suck big time doing my own nails 🙂
Ahem,, tumatanggap po ako ng donation ng nail art machine hahah! nako ako din sam, I love neon,, kasi prang sayang sa effort ng pagnanailpolish kung di lang din napapansin, then me naman I love changing nail polish twice a week 🙂 haha! so ubos sakin ang acetone in a week 🙂 though lagi lang akong nude color when it comes to pedicure as I find it more neat:)
Babe nasa carton pa, hahaha wait lang naman :p wala akong cutex di ako marunong maglagay at wala kong datung mag palinis :p
Love these NOTDs sis! I adore the purple shade and that matte metallic polish. Anyway, I usually do my own nails but I always go on a long break without any nail polishes since my nails easily become dull and turn yellowish if I always have them on 🙁
I don’t wear polishes nowadays also. It seems that my nails have bumps from too much cleaning. 🙂
I love the flower nails. This reminds me to clean and color my nails for my brother’s wedding tomorrow. Arrghh.. procrastination! :/
Show me your nails Mrs. Kolca 🙂
Cute nails indeed! Im a nailaholic to and I wish to see more DIY! 🙂
I hope I can practice DIY. haha I am sure I will have trips to nail salon. 😀
Wah love your NOTDs! Yung 1st, 2nd and last most especially. 😀
Apir girl! Ako rin di ako marunong magpaint ng nails ko! Que horror! Kaliit pa kasi ng mga kuko ko. #bansutinkasihahaha
Tulungan na lang natin kumita ang nail salon 😀
I like the tiger stripe among the rest. It’s simple and I think I can do it my own haha 😛 I’ll try.
Show it to me. 🙂
super love the tiger stripes!!!!
I like the 2nd photo, it reminds me of chocolate sundaes, I don’t know why though ^_^
Maybe because of the chocolate syrup effect? 🙂
