Forgive me for the lack of updates. Things have been insanely busy these past weeks – I had a ton of deadlines, I got sick, Bieber arrived – and things are only bound to get crazier because I’m leaving for a quick break tomorrow.
But I know I couldn’t leave without blogging – because many exciting things are happening for nail polish fans here in Manila.
Ready? Here we go.
Chanel’s Summer Collection is finally in Rustan’s. Each bottle is P1350. I already have my bottle of Morning Rose (I bought it from the awesome Aica of UrbanMD – she’s super nice, super efficient and the polish came gift-wrapped with a sweet little note) and my bottle of Mimosa has also arrived from the US (thanks to my friend Lele who is keeping it safe for me).
Rescue Beauty’s Bring It Back colors are now up on the website. If you don’t have Purple Haze, get it now. It’s gorgeous. Get Bikini Bottom too. And Bruised. And Black Russian. And Stormy. They’re all beautiful. And if you still don’t have the spring colors – Insouciant, Iconoclast, Recherche and Decorous – get them too. You know they won’t be around forever. And they’re lovely lovely lovely.
Got Crack? Etude House does. And this is awesome news for people searching for crackle polish. These bottles will be available by last week of May or first week of June. And speaking of Etude House – the matte polishes are available there now. Grab them, they’re great. Watch out for my long post about Etude House’s flagship store opening in Megamall.
This is the blue crack over Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream and Santee Vikini Green.
Holy moly, Tony Moly! Tony Moly is finally in the Philippines! I love Tony Moly. I have a number of bottles from Tony Moly, some were gifts from my friends Lele and Tatin, others were purchased for me by friends who visited Hong Kong and Korea. I got a lovely surprise today – a bag of Tony Moly products.
They have great stuff for nail polish fanatics.
Like the dry nail appliqué from the Nail Art Collection. There are a lot of different designs. I promise to post swatches soon – I will bring one of these sets on my trip.
I got really excited about these nail polish bottles. Check out the caps – the little cracks in the design made me think that this was crackle polish. That would have been enough to make me happy – but I was wrong.
When I tried them on, I went, “Holy crap, Tats, these aren’t cracking!” But they cracked. Slowly. Way slower than any crackle polish I’ve tried. And when they cracked, the cracks were crazy fine. And I went, “Holy crap, Tats, these are cool!”
I finally realized what the SN in the polish name meant. Snake Nails. These aren’t your regular crackle polish – they’re snake polish.
Freaking cool.
Love love love.
But here’s the strange thing – I’ve seen promo pics of Snake Nails and in the promo pics, they look like regular crackle. Weird.
But I’m glad they look like this on me.
Tony Moly has a store in SM Fairview now – and stores will open in SM Megamall, SM North Edsa, SM Makati soon.
And there you go.
I have about 12 hours left before my flight and I still haven’t packed so I have to go. I will be back soon – with a ton of swatches and more nail polish news.
