Manicure Round-Up: September & October Edition

I’m sure you have figured out by now that “next week” can sometimes mean “next month” when it comes to my updating here 🙂  I’m sorry!  I read somewhere that it’s bad to keep polish on your nails, so I actually took a lot of time off from doing manicures to give my nails a break.  They broke, alright – which extended my break because they ended up in a bunch of different lengths, chipped constantly, broke, etc.  It was a crap shoot from day to day.  Of course, I added a quick top coat of glow in the dark polish without any base coat or top coat for Halloween and they started to turn around.  So I think this “let your nails breathe” thing might be overrated for a person who keeps polish on most of the time.

First Foray into Striping Tape

An extensive search of my area and trips to 5 different beauty supply stores ended with my having to order nail striping tape on Amazon.  Hence, it took awhile to get here, and then, since the instant motivation was gone, it’s taken me awhile to get around to using it.  But now, I’m SO glad I have!

Fuzz Off, Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat

I had high hopes when I spotted the new Fuzzy Coat by Sally Hansen at my local CVS. I’d gone there searching for their new textured Sugar Coat I’d read about on a nail blog and was happy to find it and this other Fuzzy Coat. The image on the display made the nails look like a fuzzy felted sweater, almost Muppet like. I grabbed my intended target and a bottle of Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat in Peach Fuzz, an orange and yellow production.

Manicure Madness

I’ve had a recent obsession with doing my manicures myself.  For one, it’s a lot cheaper.  For two, it’s fun to receive compliments and be able to say that you did it yourself .  I’ve been stalking & pinning different looks on my Mani Mania Pinterest board, and working on my skills to try these.  I made the leap recently to actually order some nail striping tape and dotting tools to really venture beyond nail stickers and tip guides.    Let me share some of my recent creations!
