Lise watier nail polish review. Blue winter

Lise watier blue winter

Got this cool nail polish online. I'm a sucker for a navy cream polish. This one is flawless. ( even though my pictures and manicure are not) 











And as a bonus it has this awesome little light on it you just press the little button on the top of the And it comes on. I kind of thought about it as a vacuum cleaner with the light I never really saw the point until I actually used it. It's really great




Love the polish. Love the formula. I'll definitely be picking up a few more from this brand

YELLOW BRICK ROAD BY DEBORAH LIPPMANN Total disappointment......and I so wish it wasn't

so I watched this polish for awhile than one of my fave sites ever www.nailpolishcanada.com announced it would be on sale from 20$ to 11$ so I bought it......it's like at Christmas, when you see the big box the toy should be in.......but someone thought it was funny to put socks in the box....big let down...


At 3 coats is streaky and reminds me of milky egg yolks......i tried with and without a base coat. with and without top coat....it's just a crappy yellow polish!!!! so the quest continues! The best yellow polish.


I do have to say I like how it applied.....but that's where the love affair ended.

Sorry.... I wanted to love it.

I apologize for my swatch pic...I have fat hands....and I don't manicure lots but your'e supposed to be focusing on the colors lol


                                                                              SIGH  guess i'll sell it lol

Sally Hansen Insta Gel Strips - UV gel strip

ok so I know it's not handmade BUT I know I have been wondering how good these are......and  I do have a handmade review coming later.

So at walmart I decited to try the Sally hansen saloon insta gel strips. You do need a UV lamp for these but I had one already.

I must admit it was hard to pick one as there are SO MANY to pick from but I liked the poppy design


It comes with everything you need. Literally I just opened the wipe pack wiped all my nails. pushed back my cuticles, buffed the shine from my nail....applied the strips (after fitting them) You just put them on and kinda run the cuticle stick over them so they are firmly on....You have to pull the strip over the edge of your nail...apply the topcoat (do not get it on your skin) cure it under the uv lamp and than use the wipe to take the tacky off and voila!  They are really cute (sadly it's a horrible day for pics but I will add some tomorrow when the sun comes out!)


I am really glad I bought these and am eager to try others.....there are SO MANY prints it's insane!!!!!

The kit includes
Gel Applique Kit

A first! Easy 2 step gel manicure in a strip. Easy on, easy off gel strip system.

Each shade & pattern kit contains:
· 16 Gel Polish Strips
· 1 Gel Top Coat
· 2 Nail Cleanser Pads

· Instruction sheet
