Make Mine Mint

It's been months since I first wanted to try mint nail polish. I tried to look for my own bottle, was told that Revlon had the perfect shade. But everywhere I went, this color was not on the shelf. I gave up. 

I also found other brands that carry this shade. Essie and China Glaze each have their versions. But they were also so hard to find.

I got excited when I looked into my nail tech's basket of nail polish bottles and saw something minty!

But please don't ask me what the brand is, because I totally forgot. It's some unknown Korean brand. Or at least, I've never heard of it before. The brand is also not sold locally. The nail tech (from Celebrity Nails), brought a few other shades under the same brand and they looked really nice, too.

Two coats and it looks great!

This is too cute not to share! 

Can I pull it off? No, I can't hahaha! I just wanna stare at it because I'm so amused by it. Who among you can do this to your own nails? Can you do it on mine? Hehehe!

A Laid Back Afternoon w/ Celebrity Nails

(Late post)

It was my 2nd time to call for Celebrity Nails. I wanted Mama to try them out, too, so I took advantage recently just after my first round of chemo, because she stayed in our house for 2 nights.

Sabine had to go ahead, as always. If not, I would never hear the end of it. I'd rather let her go first so that I can get my mani, pedi and massage/foot spa in peace :)

The girls always gladly oblige, but I give them a little extra each time and I make sure Sabine uses my own nail polish to avoid be charged.

Then finally it was time for Mama and I to relax! They start you off with a foot soak in warm water.

No nail or cuticle murdering here. The girls are really thorough yet gentle. I can fall asleep if I want to, because I don't feel like I need to be up to watch their every move.

The nail polish selection is modest, which is how I want it. I don't want too many shades to choose from, it becomes more difficult for me!

I ended up choosing a really safe shade of pink (it appears to be beige, but it's not). Zoya's Pandora. Like!

I also always get 30 minutes of foot and leg reflexology after the pedi OR a foot spa when needed. My total expense for this home service pampering session is P700 before tips. If you don't feel the need for a massage, subtract about P250. I don't think it's too much to pay, for the convenience of not leaving your home, getting stuck in traffic and looking for parking space.
