Etude House Dear My Blooming Nails in #3
Monday, July 9, 2012 at 8:42AM Last May I saw Agoo Bengzon (Summit's beauty director) in an Instagram photo wearing gorgeous hot pink nails. I thought, "Damn! I bet that's Chanel or something equally expensive!" The color stuck to my head for a couple of days. On the third day (I kid you not) a box from Korea arrived on my doorstep with almost that exact same nail polish color in it. What a happy coincidence!
The Etude House Dear My Blooming Nails in #3 (P178) is a hot pink shade that sizzles without being neon. It has a very smooth, very glossy finish that's characteristic of Etude House polishes. I can not believe it's only P178; it feels much more expensive than that.
The formula is opaque in one coat and dries fairly fast (around 20 minutes). It doesn't streak.The brush is also easy to work with so I don't get that many mistakes when I paint this on.
I guess the only downside is that this chips within two days without a proper topcoat. But then, most nail polishes do that!
Overall, the Etude House Dear My Blooming Nails in #3 has a great formula and looks absolutely fantastic on the nails. If you're looking for a great hot pink, there's no need to turn to Chanel or other expensive brands. ;)
By the way, this polish actually has a matching lipstick, so if you want that added flair, get the lippie too! It also has a nice formula.

I've always been a fan of red nail polish, somewhere sometime 2007 it debut in the Philippines and I was one of the many who welcomed and embraced it. I love the sophistication that it exudes. My nails are either painted in red or designed in french tips, I don't feel so inclined to try out others especially the neon or cracked ones. Though, once in a blue moon I try to shift to pink or coral because of the youthfulness of those colors, I remember my grandmother always telling me random negative stuff about my red nail polish and then a dainty pink or more subtle orange would pacify her after I change it. :)) Overall, red nail polish still reigns supreme in my heart but this bright pink is a good alternative. In days when I feel like sporting a teenage charm, I will definitely resort to Etude's nail polish, they're actually affordable and the quality is not bad at all, way better than the usual brands I see in supermarkets.
How cute! A matching lipstick. I wonder if the 48-peso Etude House polishes have the same quality as these 178-peso ones? Gotta try one some time. I've looked at their nail polish selection twice and failed to see a color I liked, a color that stood out to me. Haha. I'll try to choose next time!
The packaging is so freaking cute! <3
this is a gorgeous color! i'll check this out! loving the lippie too!
