Nail Polish Change - Zoya in Lulu and China Glaze in Travel in Color

Hey There!

I'm still wearing and liking my Nailene Nail Studio nails in medium. I added a pale polish on top and then added a bit of sparkle to the tip, just to change things up.

I used Zoya polish in Lulu as a base color. Again, I wasn't impressed. This is the 4th Zoya polish I've tried and for an $8 or more nail polish, this really should do more. The brush isn't my fave and I had to work harder to get polish everywhere. I paid under $3 for all of the color's that I've purchased and I kinda of want my money back. The pale peach color was decent but they could have done so much more with this color. It was sheer and washed out. I don't know that I'll wear it again.

Now, my teeny tiny China Glaze polish in Travel in Color was AMAZING!! I loved this color. It's like a non color of opulence. I tried to add this as a tip color but it didn't really show all the color that it could be. I hate that I only have a mini polish. I will certainly make a plan to go back and get another one if I can. This is worth paying full price! This color will certain get more play whenever I can wear it!

BTW, by the end of the week my "press on" nails looked very, very ragged. You can just barely get 3 weeks out of these. Just barely. But, come on, for the price they were well worth it. I'd purchase them again.

So the tally is Zoya, no; China Glaze, heck yes; Nailene Nail Studio nails, yes. Not a bad week!

Nail Polish Change - Nailene Nail Studio Medium Nails & Sinful Colors in Thimbleberry

Hey There!

I'm still wearing and liking my Nailene Nail Studio nails in medium. The nails I've been wearing have a pretty "leaf?" design. They have lasted very well (only 3 popped off and I had to glue them back on). Overall though, I think I can get another week of them. I'm very happy with this purchase.

While I didn't paint my finger nails this week, I did paint my toe nails. I pulled out my Sinful Colors polishes and decided that I wanted to try Thimbleberry. It was a pretty orangey melon color that I felt was perfect for summer.

And it is so pretty on my feet. I have a touch of a tan which makes this color pop. I might even be able to get away with it as a fall color. But, while the color was nice, the formula kinda sucked. It was thick and streaky. I wonder if this was just an old bottle, even though I've only owned it for 3 or 4 months. I'll chalk it up to that because other Sinful polishes have been very nice.

The polish has the regular brush (I liked tapered if you're new here. If you aren't, sorry to repeat myself so much). The cap is nice though. It isn't smooth, it's a little bit textured and that means I can hold it and maneuver it well. I like that design in a bottle top!

Over all, I plan on trying this color out again. I do like it, even if this particular bottle has issues.

Nail Polish Change - Nailene Nail Studio Medium Nails

Hey There!

I don't have polish on this week good people. I'm sorry. I have on falsies that already have a design on them. They are French tipped with a white and silver leaf design. I saw this design in the store and my first thought was wedding nails. I know, right?!

I've been enjoying my fake nails for the past month or so. They are super easy to put on, comfortable, pretty and as long as you keep glue in your purse, low maintenance.

I picked up Nailene Nail Studio nails in medium. It's funny that they call these medium because they are still kinda long to me. I guess I should pick up short and stubby length from now on. Any who, the package has 24 nails and a small nail file in it. I guess I could keep the nail file in my purse. I'm not sure why but...

The package says they work best with Nailene Ultra Quick Glue. Of course they do. I've been using the Kiss Maximum Speed Glue and don't plan on changing that. It's worked very well so far. I did pick up a precision tip version this time though, because  sometimes I need to be able to re-glue the nail without pulling the whole nail off and gluing it back on.

Oh! And someone asked me about application and removal. Well first, removal is easy once I stopped using the nail polish remover trick. You know, where you soak your nails in nail polish remover for 5 minutes. That messed up the top layer of my nail. I started washing dishes in hot, sudsy water and then pulling them off afterwards. LOL! That didn't take off the top layer! And, application is easy too. I don't buff off a top layer of nail. Instead, I clean my nails and then add a layer of nail treatment. I let it dry and then add the glue and the nail. Most of them stay on for a week (I almost got 2 weeks out of them).

Over all, I am liking the cheaper press on/glue on nails! When I pay a bit more for the nails, they don't fit my hands. These fit beautifully. I'll be buying this brand more often. And  must say, I like not having to polish my own nails!

No worries though. I did paint my tootsies. I'll tell you next week how the polish lasted!!
