*Disclaimer*
This post discusses a product that was sent to me by Nailene.
The opinions therein are my own and not paid for.
The only compensation received was complimentary product.
Of course, I opted to dress my nails instead.
I debated on what to do exactly but I settled on the confetti nails. It's fun, festive and a breeze to do.
This was achieved with the following:
Base:
Zoya Purity
Dots:
Sinful Ruby, Ruby
Wet n' Wild Craze Inferno
Hard Candy Frenzy
Orly Enchanted Forest
Sally Girl Unnamed neon magenta
OPI Silver Belles
Glitter:
China Glaze Medallion
I did lefty with much bigger dots and splotches. I did smaller ones on righty. I really like how they turned out and I appreciate the differences. It almost looks like one of those snazzy, glitter frosted ball ornaments.
I topped this all with a top coat that was sent to me by Nailene. This came in a package with a French Nail pen. (Which will be spotlighted soon.)
I was pleased with its consistency which was thick but smoothly spread. It dried quickly and easily smoothed out the glitter and bumps from the nail polish dots. It has a great shine and it wore beautifully! I was a little apprehensive because I love me some Out The Door, Zoya Armor and Seche. (Yes, in that order.)
This wore just beautifully for me. I knew I had some extra strength by applying a glitter polish but this top coat was a pleasant surprise. I did not have tip shrinkage and I did not have a single chip. Considering I moved a sectional and recliner, rearranged my furniture section, dug through tubs of donated Xmas merchandise and straightened the tool section today!
However, I did use a glitter and I'm worried my results are really not typical. So I plan on using this top coat with a regular manicure and see how well it stands up to my job. As of right now, I am quite pleased!
Thank you for looking! Hoping your weekend is fun filled and relaxing!
That is super cute!
ReplyDeleteI love it!!! and I love your attempt to find an ugly Christmas sweater -- I admit, I stole one out of my Mom's closet (from the early 90's, late 80's) that worked PERFECTLY! lol
ReplyDeletehehehehe xmas sweaters make me cringe. Love the nails though. I always create disasters with the dotting tool
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so festive ! You used such "happy" colors :-) Love it !
ReplyDeleteHaha, well we both know how I feel about obnoxious Christmas stuff - the more obnoxious the better, right? :P
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect, since you couldn't find the ugly sweater, your nails are deliciously gaudy and I love them!
I've heard of those parties ugly sweater parties. There has been a bunch around campus. Unfortunately, they were all before finals week. Who goes to a party the weekend before finals?! Definitely not me not when you have accounting to study for!
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly, those ugly sweaters have been hard to find everywhere. I like the manicure, much simpler than the sweater. :)
