Polishes Used:
Borghese Duro
Sally Hansen Hard as Diamonds Diamonds & Rubies
Borghese Lira
Sally Hansen Continuous Care Base & Top Coat

Lessons Learned:
Apparently I’d rather paint my nails in little to no lighting than not at all and I’m ok with the sloppy outcome.

Polishes Used
:

  1. Orly Bonder
  2. Essie School of Hard Rocks
  3. Essie Shine of the Times x2
  4. Seche Vite

 

Verdict:
Wow. Shine of the Times is amazeballs and has so much shiftiness going on depending on the light and would look good over aaaany color.

Polishes Used:

  1. Sally Hansen Instadry Petal Pusher
  2. Revlon Popular

Verdict:
I had to use 4 coats to cover my blue stained nails and it took forever to dry after the 2nd coat. I guess I’ll just stick to dark colors until it grows out :( But I do like this mani…

Shitty cellphone pic of a shitty mani. I did it twice because the first time (and it looked tons better!) but then ruined it with a top coat. 2nd time it didn’t come out as nice and juicy looking for some reason.

Polishes Used:

  1. Sinful Colors Unicorn
  2. Nabi Crack White

Long story short: I am an idiot.

Running out of polish to buy…

I have so much damn polish that I’m having a hard time deciding on what to buy next.  I know I want a good yellow and a gray or two but that’s it.

So this is:

  • Sinful Colors Unicorn

 

I may have gotten this mostly for the name.  But I can imagine it with white stamp over the top or white crackle.

  • Sinful Colors Rich in Heart

This will look great paired with gold  I’m thinking Sinful Colors Flower Girl (the striper thing)

  • Nabi Crack White

Over Unicorn, any shade of blue, nearly any other color…

  • Nabi Crack Light Blue

I already got to try this one over Sinful Colors Nirvana and loooved it.  It would also be great on many other things but mostly I got this for Nirvana.
