Disclaimer: I am not a huge fan of any of these stick on polishes to begin with. Now that we got that out of the way. Essie is one of the worst I have tried. Sally Hanson is #1, those are basically fool proof. Hard. But I feel like they are easy to fix. O.P.I was ok and then wayyy at the bottom you will find Essie. I gave them a fair chance. I tried more than once. Sally Hanson feels more like putting nail polish on, Essie is like actually putting a sticker on your nail. Trying to fit it to your nail that isn't exactly like their cutout (whose is!?) was so hard. I left the house with them on, less than satisfied, only to find they lifted and got sooo gross throughout the day. Thankfully, they sent out free samples so I didn't have to purchase them :).

What else is there to do besides nails!? My mom sends the most amazing care packages and in the most recent one were silver and pink nail polish pens. I had sworn off of them after an unfortunate incident with a black one and a yellow couch... But these were not faulty and worked amazing. Definitely recommend them. White polish is Alpine Snow in Matte by O.P.I, silver is petal to the metal by Sally Hanson and the artwork is done by the Sally Hanson Nail Art Pen. More to come! My mother has sent me another great care package, which included nail glitter! So I did this mani: The pink is Suzi & The Lifegaurd by O.P.I and the glitter is Iridescent from Avon This is sooooo girly! Thumb and ring finger are neon pink from Joe Fresh, index finger is Italian Love Affair by O.P.I, middle is Sparkle-icious by O.P.I with Set in Stones by Essie over top and finally, the pinky and dots on the ring finger dots are Summer Peach by American Apparel.

Louboutin Nails! The black is by Sally Hansen in the Insta-Dry collection and the red is Monsooner or Later from OPI I love this one with the messy hearts. Dark blue is Blazing Blue from Sally Hansen's Insta-Dry as well and the teal is from OPI's line for Sephora in Teal We Meet Again.  Orange Sorbet from Joe Fresh, then I painted the accent nail with a base coat of Pedal to the Metal from Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure, went over it twice with Jo is in The House from HandM and once with Set in Stones by Essie from their Luxeffects line. Deep purples and Oxblood are all the rage this season. I loved this colour so much I left it on for 4 days! That is a record for me (This picture was taken day 4). The colour is Manicurist of Seville by OPI I am so super excited about this one. It is a ombre set from Quo by Orly, obviously in pinks. It came in a care package from my mom! (Yes, I chopped off my nails last night. It was getting hard to ty...

 I love this look because it takes the edge of a sparkley mani. So first I put on the green sparkly polish, then 2 coats of the nude colour. Just diagonal strokes, then smooth it out with vertical strokes. Then of course leave an accent nail if you would like. Base: Simply Smashing Nude Now
