SIMPLY DREADFUL!

I have two major issues that are simply dreadful at the moment. The first has to do with the relaunch of my website, its taking way longer than expected and it's driving me insane! Moving right along....
The next issue has to do with a certain nail polish...uh hem Sinful Colors. It pretty much sucks. As you all know I hate to bash brands but this really gets under my skin.

 (Notice the bite marks on the top. This nail polish makes me that angry!)

 Besides having an intriguing array of colors (more color variety than Essie or OPI) the product itself is cheap in quality. I mean what do I expect at $1.99 per bottle? Right? Wrong. I don't know what formula they use but it simply ain't workin.

This polish chips like lead paint in a prewar building in the South Bronx. I've tried everything to preserve the color; buffing, basecoat, topcoat, no-chip top coat, prayer etc. but to absolutely no avail. Girls, don't believe the hype and don't buy this product. I give this product a D for Dreadful. #FAIL


Suprisingly, there is an equally inexpensive brand that relatively chip resistant called Brucci and I've been using it for years. The colors aren't quite as intriguing as Sinful Colors but at $2.99 a bottle its hard not to pass up. Try it at your local Rite Aid, Duane Reade, or Walgreens. #PASS

(Yes, I open nail polish bottles with my teeth)

TOPCOAT SAVED MY LIFE!

I have a love hate relationship with nail polish. I love that a simple coat of nail polish can instantly transform plain, haggard hands into dainty, beautiful hands. But if there is one thing in the entire world I absolutely hate it's chipped nail polish.


Chipped nail polish reminds me of the scene in Silence of the Lambs where the killer, Buffalo Bill is torturing his victim in the basement. The victim is screaming and struggling to get out AND notice her nail polish is chipped. Red. Chipped. Polish. Big. No No. That’s what I think about when I see chipped polish, a victim struggling to escape personal hell.

So when I found Orly’s, “Won’t Chip” nail polish I felt like FBI agent Clarice Starling. Case solved!

What’s good about “Won’t Chip” is that it’s fast drying (even though the bottle doesn’t state this). When you inevitably have to use the bathroom 3 minutes after you’ve gotten your nails done you needn’t worry. Seriously, Orly makes a great line of fairly inexpensive nail products like quick dry, nail hardener, stain remover etc. I find they’re way better than Sally Hansen.

And while we’re on the topic, Brucci nail polish; the cheapest of all nail polishes ever invented makes an excellent nail hardener called “Miracle.” I swear by it. Case solved...again!
