So, what were you this Halloween? Me? I worked that night so I wore a costume... so I claim that as my costume this year!
Wasn't sure what to do with my nails… since I was working, nobody would hardly see them... being it is so cold out now my hands would be wearing gloves. We were starting to get "Wintery Mixes" by this point.
My mom bought some sparkly purple I liked and thought I’d try it out. I like to layer, so here we go…
- Sally Hansen Hard as Nail Xtreme Wear Nail Color #350 "Purple Potion"
- Pure ICE Nail Polish #540
- Avon Nail Experts Quick Dry Oil
I’m not much of a manicure person… just not. I will paint them when I’m in the mood and cut and groom them as needed. I don’t know how in the world people get those LONG nail they haven’t cut in years… it’s for one thing, gross. Second, I can’t deal with long nails… they drive me nuts. (No, I don’t bite my nails! I really cut them that short! I’ve gotten that question before…)
Anyway, back on topic. The first coat is of Sally Hansen "Purple Potion". Sounds like a Holloween'ish name, right? (Well, to be honest to my beliefs I do not endorse Witchcraft. You know that disclaimer in front of Michael Jackson’s Thriller… yeah. … just have to throw that in there.) Ok, back to nails…
I looked on the Sally Hansen website and they don't seem to have this color anymore! "
My mom bought a purple to go with this top coat but I decided to use my own. Mine has an iridescent purple that changes to blue. Of all the nail polish I have used Sally Hansen is one of the best. There are two coats here. It would have been better had I done one more.
I have never use the Pure Ice brand before. I found online that "All Pure Ice Nail Polish are free of formaldehyde, toluene and DBP." I don’t like to make my mind up quickly on if a product is good or not after one use but so far so good. It’s purple glitter with a mix of red. I did two coats. Again I needed more. The glitter is VERY glittery! I like it! It’s a type of glitter that a photo doesn't quite do it justice. It glitters a lot with movement.
One thing that also drives me crazy about painting my nails is the fact I can’t keep my fingers still to dry long enough to keep from messing up my nails! This Avon quick dry works better than dyers I have used in the past. Some I have used I didn't bother with for long because they didn't’ work very well. I will actually use this and it does for the most part dry the polish and seems to leave it shiner then if I just let it dry naturally. It also doesn't stay really oily afterwards. What little is left is easily wiped away. It’s not yucky.
I just looked on Avon's site and it says they don't sell this anymore!!! What?!?! I don't now if they made something new to use in it's place or what but this is a good product!
