The Face Shop : BL605 / PP409

April 11, 2010 by Sheila | A B & Me 9 Comments

Of all the nail polishes I have, TFS blue (BL605) is the MOST difficult one to work with. Application is fairly easy but clean up is a bitch!

No matter how careful I was, I’d still get a few oopsies here and there and everytime I try to clean it up, it just stains!

I put blue on all  10 nails. Then I had an accident with my ring finger so I just painted it with PP409 (purple shade). Then I tried putting some Konad designs.

I can’t get a proper photo. 

As you can see, I have smurf fingers! So Blue!!!

I also had problems with my konad. It still wont stick! I just bought Konad nail polishes and it still won’t stick!

So, because I felt so uncomfortable, I removed the whole thing. Now I have BLUE HANDS!

Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!

I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.

Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.

    Sis, gift lang yung TFS sa akin. di ko alam san makakabili dito. 😀

    Yung Sally hansen, sa spinneys meron saka sa Carrefour. Dun ko lang nabili yung sa akin. Chambahan din.

    Saka ginagawa ko din yan kay little music boxes. Ewan ko ba bakit parang ayaw maalis ng kulay sa fingers ko. Hindi lang basta sa nails. Pati yung daliri ko kulay blue! ang tindi mag run nung kulay.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO” mindset. It sounds fun — and sometimes it IS harmless. But when we let it guide our decisions without pause… it can turn into a habit of acting first, thinking later. 

This post is just something I made to process that idea. What if we shifted from the YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE to YOU ONLY DIE ONCE? 

It’s not being a buzzkill. It’s about modeling self-control, delayed gratification, and faith in action—even when it’s not popular. 

What do you think: YOLO or YODO?

Ps. I shared more of the story behind this thought over on @threads if you’re curious (same handle!)
