You know exactly what I am talking about, the nail polish styles that make you go, why did they make this? Okay I might get burned at the stake for this, but why does Matte polish exist? The one thing I love about nail polish is the glossy glossy finish, I go to great lengths to have extra ooh la la. But matte polish defeats this! When the matte polishes came rolling out, I walked away puzzled. But to each their own, some people loved the mattes, still do. But for now, I am good.
Nooooooo....... |
Textured polishes have me at 50/50. Some companies have done a really good job with it. Zoya, I LOVE YOU AND YOUR PIXIE DUST POLISHES. I WANT THEM ALL. And when you put on a topcoat, DROOL.
Thanks All laquered up! |
I WANT. |
Those gumdrop polishes, those are gorgeous.
I have the red one, from my friend Tarah, it rocks my socks. |
But some companies, I wont name, well they missed the ball. And they cost almost the same as the Zoya's, more then the gum drops, and they are already on clearance. So I guess I wasn't the only one that thought they stank...pew pew pew.
But seriously, what nail polish out there makes you go hmmmm?
Crackle is my "seriously, why?" nail polish fad that I just don't get. I even have a bottle because I wanted to give it a chance and I hated it. I don't understand it at all. It looks like the nail polish died on my hand and I failed to clean it off.
ReplyDeleteI like matt though - it's a nice effect if you combine it with a glossy look. I never do a complete matte though because I find that it chips very quickly and I think that defeats the purpose of painting your nails. I always feel like we should model the look for at least three days before wiping it clean again (or until it chips).
I almost bought a gumdrop polish too and I held back - now I regret! I knew they were good quality!
FYI - this is a great post! It's made me chatty tonight lol.
Aww this comment, it made my morning! I love chatty comments! I feel like YES SOMEONE LIKES MY POST! I could never achieve the crackle effect from the 10+ polishes I bought, I always messed it up! I should try what you do, incorporate a little matte, change it up!
DeleteI can never find the gum drops, my friend works in riteaid and she mailed me one from Virginia because in NY, they were completely htf. I gave up! So if you do find one, covet it because they really are amazing!
Oh and I 100% agree, 3 days, new manicure, I am so lazy though that I never quite get there.
