PEACHES & GLITZ : Nail design : Nail Strips and Nail Polish

Oh my peaches! I love peachy colors for my make-up.

But I've never found a really nice peach polish from the drugstore...

UNTIL NOW, that is.

This is another line from the nail strip I used here and here.

It's less girly but are still really cute.

The main difference is that these strips have an extra film on top for more protection.

It is much thinner than the other line and less gummy.

Personally, I prefer the gummy nail strips as I could always layer a top coat if I want it to be extra smooth and shiny.

I picked one strip for my thumb.

Caronia Nail Polishes are a tad more expensive than other drugstore polishes.

It's around P35.00. I have misplaced the receipt for this purchase grrrr!

It has a nice shiny finish but the formula is not that great.

It's on the watery side and doesn't give good color pay-off until 3 thick coats.

It also bubbled up (because of the watery consistency).

Having said that, it's still such a pretty peach pastel color.

Bobbie Premium Nail Creme has brought out old favorites.

This line of gorgeous glitter polishes also come in blue, gold and silver.

But this peachy-pink glitter polish seems perfect for this nail design.

GOLD STANDARD : Nail Design : Nail Polish and Nail Strip

Adding old-world glamour to your nails in half the time!
Thank the heavens for nail strips.

This way, I can create any design I want without learning how to do nail art.

I tried but I really suck at nail air :P

I used the nail strip left over from this post.

There was a lot of it left because the strips are pretty long.

As I've mentioned, I had tip issues.

To take care of that, I cut the strip in half :)

For the gold polish, I used OMG Oh My Golly in Gold Digger.

This is the best affordable gold polish in the market.

It is opaque (all gold, not just glitter) in two coats. It's also long wearing.

The gold matches perfectly with the gold accents on the strips!
