It Was Better In My Dream

This was a complete accident, albeit a pretty one. 

I was testing out a nail decal method and folded the paper in half because I wanted to start over.  But when I saw the effect on the paper, I immediately had to try it on my nail. So I smashed the paper onto my nail bed, and…..

…loved it! Now I wish I had done this with no-chip polish. Smile

It was simple too. Just messy, lol.  Just like a water marble.

Sinful Colors  – “Innocent” “24/7” “Love Nails” “Midnight Blue”

I hate the formulation of “White Out”.  It’s horrible and it takes FOREVER to dry.  “White on White” is SO much better. Can someone explain to me why the company messed up the one polish??  SMH.

And I got a little topcoat careless and streaked some of my precious dots on my pinky fingernail.  GOTTA pay better attention. Smile

Top Coat Update!

Sooooooo, I’m going to just accept my impatience!  I truly attempted to maintain the same manicure until my polish chipped.  It didn’t work.  *shrugs*  The picture below is after 4 1/2 days of wear, using Seche Ultra V –UV top coat.   No chips.

There is a tiny bit of tip wear, probably caused more by my trying to peel off the polish from the cuticle side of my nails than by actual wear from the normal and everyday activity of an average polish wearer.  They maintained the greatest sleek “gel nail” feel the entire wear time.   The shine could have been freshened a bit, but you can see in the photo, it still exists.

I am now a believer.  The Seche Ultra-V top coat (after UV curing) is exceptional.  I love the “completely hardened and dry after 3 minutes” quality.  This goes wonderfully with my impatient nature.  LOL.  I can do my nails and then get up and do whatever else I want to do.   The smooth gel feel is also just amazing.  I sincerely can’t stop playing with my nails.  And who doesn’t want an extra layer of gleaming, shiny protection over their natural nail?  Smile This top coat is a win!
