Bobbie Premium Nail Creme in Exactly Red

I had my overdue manicure last night after postponing it again and again. Hindi naman ako high-maintenance sa nails dahil simple lang ang gusto ko at hindi rin ako nagpapahaba ng nails by choice. Sadyang mahilig lang talaga ako sa nail polishey. And when I say mahilig, mahilig talaga. HAHA. Redundant much. My sister is witness to my nail polish love and she thinks I have way too much nail polish. Oo nga naman, sampu lang kasi ang daliri ko diba? Haha.

I'm supposed to be on saving mode but a bottle of red polish beckoned to me this week. I knew it; I should have steered clear of Watson's. But the price tag was just too hard to resist, 35 bucks for a gorgeous shade of red. *sigh* And so I went home with a bottle of Bobbie Premium Nail Creme in Exactly Red.

Not that I mean to bring local brands down but I've had less than stellar experiences with Bobbie polishes in the past. I wasn't really expecting much from Exactly Red. Ang ganda lang talaga ng pagka-red niya and mura pa so uma-avail na ko. Hihi. Nakuha sa kulay. :))

Don't judge my brother, he's not a book. Sabi nga ni Melanie Marquez, lol. Bobbie proved me wrong this time. Pinatunayan niyang hindi siya book kaya wag natin basta i-judge. Chos.

Week in Review: Stress Eating, Bordeaux Lips, and Gradient Nails

Ooops, I did it again. Nope, I'm not going to go Britney on you guys but I'm sorry for being MIA for almost two weeks. A lot of things are happening at work (coordinating for an event) and my grandma was hospitalized for a week (thanks to everyone who are praying for her fast recovery) so writing had to take a backseat for a while. My new header (oh look up the page! Do you like it?) inspired me, though, to get down to business and write a post. Hey, I'm never getting momentum again if I don't start now, right? :)

Stress Eating

As I've mentioned, a lot is going on and that always produces some kind of STRESS for me. And you know me, my "cat-ness" is more Garfield-ish - I resort to eating. Guilty as charged. I share with you this week's guilty pleasures, you just mightwant to try one for yourself. :)

Oh please raise your hand if you didn't have these snacks even just once in your lunchbox back in grade school!

Be Magnetized with Bobbie Magnet-Ficent Polish

I'm a sucker for colors. Yes, I really am so it's no surprise that I have a lot of nail polishes, way too many than I think is the practical number of polishes to have. The latest addition to my ever-growing collection is Bobbie's Magnet-Ficent Polish in SI- 204.

My quick thoughts on it:

SI-204 is a pretty silver shade - very wearable, safe but not dull.

The polish is of a thick consistency but it actually dries up fast and well.

The magnet is on top of the bottle cap and is not removable.

Has the usual chemical nail polish scent (which can leave one semi-'high' after some time. I kid.)

My experience:

I first thought that it was defective because nothing was really happening and I was beginning to feel frustrated. Although, truth to tell, the gunmetal gray shade wasn't so bad in itself that I was prepared to accept that the polish doesn't work. Good thing that I searched for reviews and found one post with helpful hints in using this.
