Update on Liquid Sand + NOTW

So, I changed my nail polish last night. I managed to survive a few days and a Disneyland trip with the Liquid Sand on. It drove me nuts, but I found that as the days went by, much like matte nail polish, it started to kind of turn in to a satin-y finish and almost felt smoother... or I got used to it. Either way, the grittiness got better but I still hate these polishes. I'm not sure if I will actually ever wear this again, but I probably will with lots of topcoat over it.... we'll see how it goes!

I had some time to kill last night and decided to do a Valentine's Day mani and then I realized that my best friend still has my stamping plates... and since I'm terrible at free-hand nail art, I decided I wouldn't try to draw anything on my nails freehand. I just got a bunch of Valentine's colors and mixed them together and  got somewhat of decent Valentine's mani. Its not the greatest, but with the little time I had, it works for me! Here's what I came up with:

Thumb -  OPI If you Moust, You Moust with Sally Hansen HD Byte over it
Index - OPI Excuse Moi
Middle - Color Club Hot Like Lava with Essie A Cut Above
Ring - Seche Red with China Glaze Ring in the Red
Pinky - OPI If you Moust, You Moust with Color Club Tru Passion over it

Nightmare Before Christmas Nail Polish

Howdy! I went after Christmas shopping and I picked up mostly clothes, but I did pick up a few nail polish items. Today's post is one of the things I picked up.

I bought this at Claire's for 5 dollars. All Nightmare stuff was 1/2 off and just because it was Nightmare, I had to get it. How cute are the bottles? Very! I'm a huge Nightmare Before Christmas nerd. HUGE. Its one of my all time favorite movies!

Well, the bottles are the only saving grace to these polishes. The colors don't have names and they're pretty, especially the purple and grey, but the formula is so terrible and the bottles are completely round. They don't stand on their own... how in the world was I supposed to paint my nails with a bottle that didn't stand?? 

The formula was pretty bad. They're thick and goopey and a pain to get off (do you see the goopey chunk on my pointer finger in the purple? yeah...) I think maybe thinner might help the formula on these. but I don't think I will ever be wearing these again.  I will just be keeping them for the cute bottles... I mean the bottle is Jack's head! Epic! :) But yeah, if you see these are you're a NBC fan, get it for the bottle... but don't plan on actually using them! haha

Thanks for reading, until next time!

30 Days of Untrieds - Day 26

Today's untried post is one that I've had for a while but I never got around to trying because its a red.

Sunlight

Shade

Seche Red. I got this from a kit with Seche Clear, Seche Vite, and Seche Erase and I never got around to trying it. I really just needed Seche Vite and the entire kit was $8, so I figured it was a fantastic deal. It goes on really smoothly and its the perfect cherry red creme. I actually like this and I'm wearing it on my toes right now. Its the perfect pedicure color despite my dislike of reds... haha!

Thanks for reading, until next time!
