So Sunday Was Earth Day...
Tuesday, April 24, 2012nail a college drop out
Sunday was Earth Day and while I intended to have this post ready by then; it would have involved me to wake up out of my I'm-too-tired-from-work-so-don't-wake-me-for-anything-less-than-Justin-Timberlake nap. And that brings us where we are now.
Step 1. Base Coat - I used Nail Life Gripper
Step 2. Base Color - Revlon Posh
Step 3. Let base color dry and apply nail art foil glue.
Step 4. After the foil glue has dried to a clear, tacky finish, apply nail art foil. - In this case it was Jungle Tides
Step 5. Apply a "normal" top coat i.e. a top coat that isn't quick dry or anything special. I find that OPI Top Coat works pretty well.
Step 6 (optional). brush glitter on tips of nails. - Milani Jewel FX Teal
Step 7. Now you can apply your top coat of choice. - Seche Vite
Now I know what you're thinking, "Oh my goodness, this is sooooo awesome!" Well, it is awesome but if you intended it to last longer than about ten minutes, you need to put on a top coat. The unfortunate side effect is that it looses its holographic goodness.
So then I decided to add some glitter to the tips.

Hmm, kinda looks like magnetic polish now that I think about it.

Gems For Your Birthday, Beyotch?
Saturday, February 04, 2012nail a college drop out
As some of you may remember, I blogged about a little polish named Birthday Beyotch. Well, I got this amidst all the hype over rainbow glitters and now I have a short comparison for you.
Milani Gems vs Icing Birthday Beyotch
First up is Milani Gems. This is 1, 2, 3, and 4 coats respectively.
And of course this brings us to Icing Birthday Beyotch. Again It is shown in 1. 2, 3, and 4 coats respectively.
*Ding. Ding. Ding.* While Gems gives more coverage, Birthday Beyotch has a better mixture of colors. Not to mention the name is a hell of a lot more fun.
Which one is your favorite?
Tune in. Drop out. Love polish.
