This hand-painted nail art was inspired by a color and it all started when I was fixing my closet. Let me tell you its story ...
It's summer here in the Philippines and the heat has made me lazy to do my nails. Aside from that, work has been getting most of my time. The moment I get to my studio for some "me" time, all I want to do is go to bed. But last night was different.
I was arranging my clothes and found a handful of orange shirts. That took me by surprise. As I am not fond of pinks, I am also not fond of orange, especially on my nails. I think it doesn't compliment my skin tone. Anyway, I then thought of doing some nail art inspired by the color. So I stopped what I was doing and began painting my nails.

I can still remember the time when I found out that Dazzle Dry made its way here in the Philippines. I knew about this polish before they even brought it here and I was really (!) interested to experience the Dazzle Dry nail system for myself. Needless to say, I got hooked the moment I tested the product. Why wouldn't I be? It is the safest polish out there, the only 100% vegan that will NOT cause stains or yellowing. Oh, and it absolutely dries rock hard in 5 minutes! Wow!
I am a frequent window shopper and I often visit polish stands just to check what brands are up to. I have encountered many women who puts down a good polish because of cost and comment that it is only nail polish. Perhaps what Luke Brandon said in the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic can best say how I view this concern, "Cost and worth are two different things."
Sometimes, we need to experience things for ourselves to appreciate or recognize the worth of something. I say this as Dazzle Dry is having a Mother's Day sale. This may be a good time for you to experience the Dazzle Dry nail system and polish for a discounted price!

Another first happened to yours truly. BYS invited me to talk about that one thing I am most passionate about -- nails, nail art in particular.
When I decided to dedicated this blog to nail art, I had quite a difficult time choosing what category this site is supposed to be listed under. Initially, I chose personal blog until friends from blogosphere convinced me it should fall under beauty and fashion. I honestly felt out of place since I haven't really met nail bloggers in any of the events that I have attended. Well, that's probably because there rarely are events specific to nails around here.
And so I bet you can imagine how thrilled I was when BYS decided to celebrate the launch of its Glitter for Nails over dinner with some media friends. I was even more thrilled that they asked me to introduce the collection, give a live demonstration, share personal tips, and suggest a few nail art ideas using the product.
This is me giving insights on nail art.

It is always exciting (at least to me) to discover new ways on how to dress our nails. Before, there were only the regular polishes. Today, we can find several nail polish collections that give nail enthusiasts interesting results! Nail art is becoming more exciting everyday. It's not only for those who can paint nail designs because now, brands have been introducing alternative ways to spice up the regular manicure. And BYS has been a frontliner in terms of nail creativity.
"Nail art is a vacation for plain nails."
Polished nails were not allowed in any of the schools that I attended. Even when I was in college, having colored nails were a no-no. This is probably one of the reasons why I developed my passion for nails and eventually nail art. Now, I've come to realize that doing nail art is like treating my nails to a vacation for wearing them so plainly for many many years. And perhaps many ladies out there can relate to this statement, too. How about sharing with us your story? :)

I was having an early dinner last weekend when I received a text message from a friend who asked me how I was. I wanted to reply that I was feeling lonely but said I was fine instead. I've realized that no matter how used I am to being alone, one can sometimes be a lonely number. And even though I have met some that showed interest, I can't seem to bring down the wall I have put up. Can I blame the number of times I've been broken?
My best friend these days has been unavailable so I decided to channel my feelings the best way I know how -- through nail art.
Wall was the idea. The question is how I'd be able to convey that in a nail design. I figured a brick wall inspired design would do the job. The concept is not original as there have been several nail art bloggers who have done their version of the bricks nails. So in order to put some personal flair into this design, I decided to use a purple palette and alter the brick placements.
I simply called this Purple Bricks Nail Art Design. Take a look:
