Nail Design Stickers Biography

Only have a few of them, but in order for me to buy an Essie I have to REALLY love it... or get it for free. Currently I have 5 Essies. One I loved until I wore it because it stained like craze. Two of them I bought because I did in fact like the colours, and to this day I still like them. Then I have one that I got for free, which I like because it was free. Finally there is this polish, Lots of Lux. I am IN love with it. It is by far on of my favourite polishes I own. Now buying it was a magical experience. When I see a polish I'm thinking of buying the first thing I do is look up swatches. Even if I'm in the store and the bottle is in my hand. I always want to see how it looks as a full manicure. Here's the problem with this colour. In photos and when looking at it in the bottle the colour looks AMAZING. But in photos the polish always looks kind of grainy, and sand like. For me a nice textured polish should not look like sand thrown into polish or stucco(textured polish that does not have shimmer in it tends to look like this) decided to lurk the interwebs for inspiration. That's when I came across this manicure by Nailside after searching 'Gold nail art'. It was actually the same design I had drawn, but it looked much better off of paper. I have seem post from her before, but had never seen that specific manicure. So that is how I telepathically took her idea. Or would could have just both come up with the same design, but that answer is too easy. To achieve this look I cut out triangles out of scotch tape. Then I used a piece of striping tape on either side of it. Then for the Gold I used Milani Gold Glitz. So generally I don't post my fails, or things I just don't like. Now just to clarify fails to me are things I look at and say "That's really not pleasant to look at". Things i don't like are more along the lines of "You look ok, but I'm not feeling you". This manicure originally from January, fell in to the I don't like it category. I thought it looked just ok on the nail, and I just hated it when I photographed it. So I was torn, a grainy polish, but a stunning colour. I decided I just needed to have it. It was too pretty to pass up... and it was on sale. When I got home I applied 2 easy coats of this polish, and I was blown away. This rich, bold blue, that was filled with what looked like gold, green, and purple glitter was even prettier on the nail than in the bottle. I think the problem with photos is the fine glitter does not photograph well, and because the texture is so fine up close it does look a bit grainy. Long story short this polish does not photograph well, and you all need to buy it NOW! First up I have Sinful Colors New Wave. I bought this at a warehouse sale with George. The weather was something like -30 and it was WINDY. And yet you could not keep us away from those polishes. It was totally worth it. I would honestly say this colour is the closest I have to a Nine/Ten TARDIS blue. It's a deep navy blue, but it's a bit dusty in real life. The formula was excellent, I almost didn't need a second coat. Then I decided I need to add some art to it, and for the first time ever I got out a piece of paper and started to draw some designs on it. One of them involved tape, but I didn't really like it. After doing this for a while I was out of ideas. So I decided to lurk the interwebs for inspiration. That's when I came across this manicure by Nailside after searching 'Gold nail art'.

I thought it looked just ok on the nail, and I just hated it when I photographed it. But this morning I was going through photos I had that I never posted when I came across this the photos again. And I can honestly say I didn't not like it nearly as much as I did before. I can't say I love it but I'm pretty sure.
