THE FRUIT COMPOTE

The Good and The Forbidden

The Wedding Nails 2.0

July 26, 2018

Well, whaddya know, another wedding-related post. I was going to post this sooner but the old tale was I got caught by so many different excuses :p

Anyway, we were very lucky that we get to hold another wedding reception which was 3 weeks after the D-Day. This time, the guests are our friends! I suppose, call me for being extra. But I did want my nails to look different. Plus, the previous nails were getting long and I wasn’t comfortable with the length.

This was what I decided on.

You can check out the big, big D-Day nails here. For this reception, I didn’t want them to be far off. Still keeping them simple and minimalist. After a quick brainstorming, I decided on this design. Plain, solid base color with a hint of glitter.

Being me wanting to have the comfort and ease, I called Spalosophy to the rescue, again. Besides, I had to remove the previous gel polish too before anything else. And yes, I decided to do these with gel as well. What can I say, they do last and I didn’t want to worry about my nails chipping.

Funny thing, or maybe it’s meant to be, the manicurist that came to do the service was actually Mbak Icha again 😀 I was so excited because I knew she’d do a fantastic job based on the previous (and first) experience.

Let the pictures speak for themselves then.

I actually used the same gorgeous nude color as I did in the first design. It’s called Perfect Match Mi Amour. Then added a sliver of fine gold glitters on the outer nail near the cuticle. Kind of like a crescent!

Sweet, low-key and sophisticated, I adore it!

But, it’s not as easy as you might think. There were a few adjustments needed to be made. The key here was I didn’t want the width of the glitter to be too big. I just want it thin enough to be visible. I think it was about a little under 2 mm in the end. Mbak Icha really took her time with it, making sure every glitter crescent is perfect. I couldn’t have been more ecstatic.

Before you ask, no, I wasn’t sponsored or paid to say good things about Spalosophy. I know about the service thanks to my sister. I’m just a satisfied customer who’s willing to share the experience 🙂

My dear friend Jess took this shot of my nails against the dress (I also wore the same dress). I love the hint of gold glitter peeking through. It really added a touch of something-something without going overboard.

 

By all means, I can totally redo the same design with a different color. Or do the same with a similar color theme, sure why not! But, I’d do it with regular nail polish though. Gel nails are for special occasions only, LOL!

Overall, I love the understated elegance and this type of design can definitely stand the test of time.

BASIC SKINCARE ROUTINE

Cleanse – Hydrate – Moisturize – Protect (SPF)

Sunscreen at daytime, always.
Double Cleanse at night, a must!

Exfoliate regularly, as necessary, and don’t overdo it.
Don’t forget to use a Hydrating Toner after Exfoliating Acid Toner to prevent dryness and irritation.

Opt for calming and soothing products more than anything else. Pick gentle cleansers. Aim for hydration and moisture. Maintain the skin barrier.

Proper hydration and balanced moisturization are key to achieving a healthy skin, even if your skin is oily.

Always be gentle on your skin.

I was watching Izakaya Bottakuri and I saw Zosui, I was watching Izakaya Bottakuri and I saw Zosui, immediately wanted to make it cos I have all of the ingredients! It’s a great way to utilize leftovers too.

Apart from adding soy sauce, I could also add white pepper or Togarashi for some heat. I think it’s best to keep the flavors on the simpler side, that’s the charm of it ✨

It’s so warm & comforting. Pak D ended up having seconds, thirds and finished the entire pot 🥺

It’s only the first month of 2023 and I can see It’s only the first month of 2023 and I can see myself using @lancomeofficial Rénergie Triple Serum all year round!

I was already intrigued by the serum when I saw it a few months ago. I remember I pumped the bottle and got mesmerized instantly. I love smart and thoughtful formulations and this is definitely one of them!

The addition of Ferulic Acid on top of Vitamin C, Niacinamide, and Hyaluronic Acid work not only as a potent antioxidant in its own right (it reduces redness too), but it also boosts the performance of the Vitamin C. Together, they make some serious combination for those who are looking for a simpler routine yet impactful ✨

A month of usage but I can clearly see the difference and the potential! I personally love using this on daytime because it offers high antioxidants and it keeps my skin looking fresh even after a day’s out. At nighttime, this works to rejuvenate the skin while I’m sleeping. This one hits the sweet spot for me 👌🏼

This #LancomeID #Renergie Triple Serum is available on all Lancome counters and official store on Lazada!
Easy peasy, foolproof recipe! If you want the sim Easy peasy, foolproof recipe!

If you want the simplest way, just add the olive vegetable to a warm rice and mix it together.

I add the olive vegetable after the rice because I need to adjust the flavor. I usually start with a heaping tablespoon. I’ll add more if I need it. I don’t add any more salt. I could add some pepper (or chili) though, depending on how I feel that day 😄

There are so many variations that we can do with this. Porridge also tastes bomb with this. Totally up to you! Enjoy 🫶🏼
