Fix Me?

Greetings!


While going through my nail polish collection, I noticed that two of my polishes were sticky, clumpy and were not in its original consistency.

To fix this problem, I used SuperNail Nail Polish Thinner. I bought this at my local beauty supply store for about two dollars. 

The directions say to use only a few drops, but in the condition that these polishes were in, I needed to put a lot more in. Once it was inside the polish bottle, I let it sit for a couple of seconds before shaking the bottle vigorously. I continued pouring in some of the thinner until I could hear the beads in the nail polish bottle move around freely.

And here is the finished product! It worked great.

Essie "Go Overboard"

Ahoy Matey!

Essie's nail color Go Overboard reminds me of being in a boat with the beautiful ocean surrounding me. I saw this color on my friend and fell in love with it! I just HAD to buy it. It will take me some getting used to because I don't normally wear dark colors on my nails (I usually wear pinks or nude colors, so this is different indeed), but i LOVE it.

The application was smooth and dried somewhat quick. However, I still have to be careful a few hours after application so that I don't end up with a smudge or a gash. The color is like a dark teal, but has more hints of blue then green.

I bought this nail polish at Walgreens for $8, but I sadly realized I could have gotten it at Walmart for $7.75. (Not much of a difference, but every cent counts!)

Essie East Hampton Cottage

This is my first nail polish review!

Today, I applied Essie East Hampton Cottage onto my nails. I used Sally Hansen Advanced Hard as Nails as my base coat. 

In the bottle, the color looks like a pastel off-white pinkish/beige color. But once you put it on, it is a complete different color! 

For the first coat, it applied smoothly, but it was very sheer. I applied the second coat and it turned more opaque, but the nail is slightly visible underneath. 

The final color turned out to be a pearlized off-white color. I honestly don't know how to describe it, but I liked it =)
