She ended 2024 with an eyewear collaboration with Vision Express. It wasn't an overnight project. "Actually, this has been almost a three-year project," Nadine shared during an interview. The idea for the collab started back in 2021 but it was delayed due to various circumstances.

"Unfortunately, we couldn't push through with the collection or collaboration because there were so many things going on. I think I wasn't in the right headspace at the time. Ang dami ngang nangyayari," she admitted. Despite the setbacks, she said the eyewear store Vision Express remained committed, leading to the successful launch of their collection called 9Lives in the last quarter of 2024.

"The name '9Lives' came about during a brainstorming session," Nadine explained. "Nine is my lucky number, so it just made sense." While the name might seem "anticlimactic," she said, it reflects her desire to create something personal yet playful, fashionable yet functional.
