NOTW aka Nail of the Week

I am going to try to keep this up do a new polish weekly.

This look I did on Sat. I used:

Confetti Nail Polish in White Knight - Could be a dupe for Essie's Marshmallow
Sally Hansen Crackle Polish in Vintage Violet.
Seche Vite Top Coat.

I promise to learn how to paint my nails correctly. I am a former nail bitter. I would bite my nails so much that the tips would hurt/burn/sting. I suppose it was a nervous tick but biting my nails was my bad habit since I was a little girl. My mom would bribe me all the time "let your nails grow and I'll buy a pretty ring" She bought garlic nail polish, nail polish that tasted like hot peppers etc. I would still bite my nails. I then got into the acrylic nail craze and that made my nails 100x worse. It wasn't till about 2006 that I stopped getting acrylic on my nails and I started using press on's for any event I would stop at CVS and pick up Broadway Nails's French Manicure Short Style and I'd glue them on, they would last about 2 weeks.

I got sick of buying the press on's and in Nov.2009 for my friend's birthday weekend, we decided to do our own nails and I painted my nails a LOUD silver. In all the pictures I could see the teeny tiny nubs and I thought to myself, I am 29 yrs old with teeny nubs on my big ole hands, this habit has to end. After that weekend I stopped biting my nails and I continued painting them and was recommended Seche Vite. I used Seche Vite as a base coat and top coat, I have to say that I owe my strong, long nails to Seche Vite. It's been a colorful ride since then and now I have a HUGE caboodle dedicated to my nail polish obessesion. (because I don't have enough obessesions)

MY NUBS November 2009:

A Mini Haul

I had a couple of coupons to CVS and picked up more of the crackle polishes. I purchased Vintage Violet and Fractured Foil. I tried Fractured Foil on top of Sally Hansen's HD Pixel Pretty and it came out too sparkly.
Here is a pic of it..

I fell asleep before it was actually dry. I am going to try Vintage Violet on top of Confetti's White Knight this weekend. I also picked up Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition 3 minute undo dryness reversal treatment, I used it once and it did leave my hair silky and soft. I am trying hard not to wash my hair everyday, since I have highlights my hair is really dry and brittle it needs this treatment to make it smooth and keep the brittle at bay. I also got a Sally Hansen no more mistakes nail polish remover pen, It's great for little mistakes on the fingers but I had a hard time removing the nail polish around the edges of my nails without it messing with my nail! I'll stick to drying them well and using some soap and water.



It's going to be 99 degrees in NY today, I wish I would've taken the day off! Stay Cool..
