Not to be outdone by Halloween nails, my cats decided (against their will) to get in on the holiday action. So we dressed them up, but they were NOT happy about it. Actually Chewbacca didn’t seem to mind TOO much and he was so cute we dressed him up in 2 costumes, but Sam and Squirt were just NOT having it, hence the look on their faces…
Happy Halloween!!! It’s my favorite holiday and I am very excited! I did some ridiculous crazy-ass tacky press-on Halloween nails for your viewing enjoyment. Hope you like them! What do your nails look like this Halloween?
Happy Thursday peeps! So I have noticed a pattern the last couple weeks. Only a couple people comment on my postings regularly. Now I love
them for that, don’t get me wrong, but I wanted to send a notice out to
all you *lurkers* that I LOVE comments and would really like to hear your
thoughts, opinions, ideas etc., about my postings. Come on now don’t
be shy, I promise I won’t bite! I know for a fact that people are
reading this (I have analytics software going on) and you must have an
opinion, so please do share! Join the fun! Oh and beware of Sammy the 18 pound Maine Coon…
Well my Butter LONDON test failed miserably. I wore Tramp Stamp for about 24 hours before my first chip appeared. 36 hours into wearing it I had 4 or five decent sized chips along with some tip wear and I had to remove it. I don’t believe it’s all the polishes fault though. You see, I noticed that some of the tips of my nails are cracking and peeling lately and I think it’s due to using non-acetone nail polish remover when I swatch. The fingertips that show the chips first are the ones that have the cracks. I have cut them down as short as possible and have switched to OPI’s Expert Touch Lacquer Remover, which is a gentle nice smelling remover that leaves my nails less damaged and dry. It is pretty expensive at $15.95 for 16 ounces, but I think probably worth it in the long run. What polish remover do you use and what do you do when your nails get damaged?Â
Butter LONDON is a brand that is fairly new and I am just recently getting into. I have about 8 or 9 polishes by them and wanted more, so I got three that appealed to me from their website. I really like the whole concept behind Butter LONDON, from their name to the adorable polish names, the colors, the formula, their website, etc. The one thing that I don’t like is their bottle shape! It’s SO hard to open and close the bottle because of the awkward rectangle shape. I totally get that aesthetically, it’s really nice and it’s not like any other polish, but I feel as though it’s just not at all user friendly. It won’t stop me from buying them, however! I also decided to try their basecoat, called Nail Foundation and topcoat, called Hardware, to see if it helps the polish last longer (which I am testing now, day 1). Pics all taken in sun with no topcoat.
