Last week I won an awesome giveaway, and the stuff came to my house on Saturday. Included was a bottle of green nail polish. I'm strictly a cream, ivory, light pink polish wearer. I personally am not a fan of my fingernails, and would rather not outline how small they actually are. So I put on the green polish, and I'm just not sure it was me. I didn't take it off right away though, because I thought maybe I'd get used to it.
Well, I didn't. I took it off, and ever since then I've wondered why I can't wear colors.
So tonight, I had to run to the store to take back a movie to the Redbox, and I needed to pick up some milk. A little while ago I read Ashley's post on TheThingAboutDaisies about Sally Hansen's Commander In Chic nail polish. I found it at the store, but didn't want to pay the full price for it. I found the Rimmel knockoff..which was $2.88, but was also empty. Everyone must have the same idea.
So I picked out a fairly cheap polish, I think it was Revlon, before I discovered the clearance basket.
Inside, I found these.
They don't look much different in this picture, and they're only slightly different in person, but I really like them both. And they're definitely not anything out of the ordinary (which totally defeats my purpose in buying new polish...another fail). But, they were on clearance for $2. If I had bought these before I would have spent $13 (I never would have spent that), but instead I got them for $4.
I just put on the Naked Ambition, and while I like the color, I think I need a lesson on how to paint my nails. It is pretty uneven, and really doesn't look great.
Do you have any suggestions or ideas?
Did you paint a base on your nails before? That helps me. :)
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what a base is. I have homework for the next time I'm in cosmetics! :)
ReplyDeleteI've found that this particular Sally Hansen line is a little streaky. I honestly am less than impressed with the polish for the price, though I am glad you found some that were on sale! I agree with Amy about the base coat. You can get good ones from Sally Hansen, I personally like their Diamond Strength.

Sorry that the green didn't work for you. Maybe you can give it a whirl on your toes.
Ashley, I will look for the base coat, and I will definitely use the green on my toes...for some reason they're so much different than my fingers!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about color on my toes. I'm all for bright, fun colors on the feet. It wasn't until a month of so ago that I started wearing any color on my finger nails. I'm still trying to get use to it!
