Love Month Nails I

Ciao! I was suppose to post the previous manis I did last month, however I can't seem to find the photos. I recently deleted a couple of folders I saved on my external hard drive to free up some space and remove duplicates. The pictures must've been included during the deletion. Sigh. I guess I'll have to move on to the next manis I'll be doing.

It's already February and it's the Love Month! A lot of people must be excited for Valentine's Day. For this month, you may find my nail posts "girly." If you're not a fan of reds and pinks, please excuse me if you'll be seeing a lot of it.

Here's the first mani I created for the Love Month, it's a Gradient Pink and Hearts Nails. I hope you'll like it.



For the gradient I used Caronia White Satin, Caronia Chinese Rose Frost and an unbranded dark pink nail polish I found in my stash. I also used a sponge to achieve the gradient look. For the hearts I painted my nails with a white nail polish (Caronia White Satin) first. I mixed some red and white acrylic paints to create a medium dark pink for the hearts. I used an artist's brush #0 to paint the random sized hearts. And a topcoat to protect the mani.

Aside from painting my nails, I also love to run. Me and my friends started joining marathons since last year especially if it's for a good cause. February 6, 2011 we participated in Condura Skyway Marathon 2011 Run for the Dolphins, from 3000 runners in 2008 to 6000 in 2009 then 8500 in 2010 and now 15000! The growing running community and the supporters of the annual Condura races was not only able to generate close to a P1,000,000.00 in donation. It has also succeeded in increasing the awareness and concern of runners and the public in general toward the marine environment. It's a very grateful feeling to have this chance to help save these super adorable marine mammals. I really enjoyed this run and an excting part of it was having a medal with a dolphin engraved on it.


It's always comforting when you have friends who will run with you and help motivate each other when you feel like hitting the wall. To my wacky runner buddies who very much enjoys a well deserved pigging out at Dampa after every successful marathon, let's keep on running!

I hope that this post will help spread the word in saving our environment. Let's do our share even in the littlest ways.
