DIY Manicure and Pedicure


As mentioned on Nikki's blog... I was going to post my DIY manicure and pedicure so, here it is! It takes me nearly 5 hours to do them and it's because, I'l like to do them carefully and properly (in my own opinion of course... professionals surely will have their own perception of 'proper' manicure... I'm just making that clear before I get slated)... and to avoid cutting myself. There's nothing worse than having our fingers and toes butchered when opting for DIY manicure and pedicure.



My manicure and pedicure essentials. I'm going to edit this post to share how I do my mani and pedi as you might be wondering why it takes me nearly 5 hours to do them. However, I'd like to share this trick that I have discovered about 5 years ago. As I have very very weak nails (they're prone to chipping), I've tried the Rimmel London Two Weeks Rescue and it's been God send. So much better than the Sally Hansen products that I've used (they tend to dry my nails). If you can get hold of this product and you have the same problem as me, it really is worth trying. They're not that expensive either (£3.49)





Before you get the wrong idea, it's not an engagement ring... I've had that ring for about 6 years now ;)


Now, Nikki, sister! You know what I mean when I said I hate taking photo of my feet... They look pretty... pretty awful ha ha ha!

New Cartier Perfume (Gorgeous!)

I've got my Cartier perfume sample last week on post and tried them on until today. I liked it straight away the first time I tried it and last really long. I've tested it on my wrest and I was amazed how the scent lasted even after many hand washes. So, today, I've decided to get one and it was great as it came with miniature perfume as well plus three other samples of different perfumes. After that, I went to have a look at nails counter and got some summer shades of nail polishes. Love them!







Really gorgeous packaging! Not bad for £69 ($134 USD or 5,758 PHP) for 100ml eau de parfum plus the gifts



The new addition to my other addiction. I used to get really really mad with collecting perfumes until I got pregnant with my son over 10 years ago. I just couldn't stand them (not even fabric conditioners... they made me very very nauseous!). Hmmm... my Coco Chanel is running really low so I think I know what to get next Christmas :)


Gorgeous nail polish indeed by Nails inc. (check http://www.nailsinc.com/ for gorgeous colours) and oh yeah! A lipgloss too! This lot cost me just over £33 ($64 USD and 2,159 PHP)
