This is my first NOTD so I don't exactly know what I'm supposed to include. I made this myself and the products I used are locally available. Here they are:

Orly Bonder, L'abelle colorless, Klik regular Ashley, Klik (unnamed)

• Orly Bonder - Pure Beauty Serendra for P245.50
• L'abelle colorless - MOA Watsons for P33.00
• Klik regular Ashley - GFM for less than P20.00
• Klik unnamed - GFM for less than P20.00

I have no idea where they placed the name for the metallic nail polish! I'll post pictures of the bottles so you'll familiarize yourselves with the colors.

Procedure:

1. Apply your base coat. Let it dry.
2. Apply 3 coats of Ashley.
3. Let it dry and apply your top coat.
4. After 5 minutes, apply the metallic nail polish at the tip of your nails, just like a french tip. It's easier to apply and is more flattering if you have longer nails.
5. Don't apply your top coat yet, let it dry up for 2-3 minutes.
6. Apply top coat and you're done!
