Bobbie's Glaze Bronzer Premium Nail Creme Review

It's a deep brown with gold shimmer nail creme

I saw this nail creme earlier this week and I am quite not sure if I would buy it or not. I am a little bit worried that it might be too shiny or the color will be old or boring. Well, at 35.50 pesos, I think it is not expensive to give it a  shot. 



This is after three coats. The color is not very shiny , as I thought it would be golden shiny, nor it is dull or boring. It is really nice. It does makes my hands look whiter.

Look-up

This nail art design was inspired by the blue sky.Since today is September 11, and the 10th anniversary of the devastating September 11, 2001 attack in the United States of America, I included the twin towers and an airplane.





First, I used Sansan Nail Polish in Warm Blue for my base color. Then I made the clouds using BNC Two-way Nail Art Point Pen and Brush. Lastly, using Nail Star Two-way Nail Art Pen and Brush, I draw the Twin Towers, the birds and the airplane.

It is exactly six months, to the day after the devastating 9.0 magnitude eathquake and tsunami hit Japan. In addition to loss of life and destruction of infrastructure, it also shifted the Earth's axis by estimates of between 10cm and 25cm. It was the most powerful known earthquake to have hit Japan and one of the most powerful earthquakes in the world.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles




This animated series is part my growing up because its the TV series me, my sister and cousins are watching every weekends. We even have toys and T-shirts. They had a movie and another TV series early from 2000-2009, so I think most of us are familiar with them. So let's identify these turtles.

Leonardo or Leo. 
He is the  courageous leader and devoted student of martial arts. Wears a blue mask and wields two katana. He is the oldest of the four and the most skilled fighter of the turtles. Leonardo was named after Leonardo da Vinci.

Raphael or Raph 
The bad boy. Wears a red mask and wields a pair of sai. He is an intense fighter. His personality can be alternately fierce and sarcastic, and oftentimes delivers deadpan humor. Still, he is intensely loyal to his brothers and sensei. Raphael is good friends with Casey Jones. He is named after the Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance, Raphael.


Michelangelo or Mike or Mikey  
Easy-going and free-spirited. Wears an orange mask and wields a pair of nunchaku. Michelangelo provides much of the comic relief. He is youngest of the four Turtles. While he loves to relax and eat pizza, this Turtle also has an adventurous and creative side. He is named after the Italian Renaissance painter, sculptor, architect, poet, and engineer Michelangelo Buonarroti.

Donatello or Don or Donn
The knowledgeable scientist, inventor, engineer, and technological genius. Wears a purple mask and wields the bo staff. Donatello is perhaps the least violent Turtle, preferring to use his knowledge to solve conflicts. He is named after the sculptor Donatello.












For my base color, I used BNC nail color number 630. To paint for their masks, I used an old liquid eyeliner brush. For Michelangelo, I used Caronia nail polish in Sun Kissed. For Donatello, Caronia nail polish in First Crush. I mixed Sansan nail polish in Warm Blue and BNC nail color number 611 for Leonard. Lastly, Sansan nail polish in Ruby Red for Raphael's mask. For their eyes, I used Caronia nail polish in White Satin and Sansan nail polish in Luxury Black.


Cracking Nail Polish



Cracking nail polishes are the easiest way to have a nail art. Why? because the nail polish itself automatically cracks when it dries.

Here’s how to use it:
First, apply a base color. You can use any nail polish in any color. Make sure that the base color is totally dry before you apply the cracking nail polish. When you are sure that it is already dry, you can now apply the cracking nail polish.

Tips:
  • Use a lighter base color when using a darker cracking nail polish and vise versa, so that the cracks are very visible.
  • The thinner the application of the cracking nail polish the more cracks it produce.
  • Most cracking nail polishes chip off easily, so make sure to apply a top coat to protect your crackin nail art.
