Kiss Nail Dress 56707 KDS09


Good  Morning-Almost-Afternoon!

So the other night, I wasn’t really in the polish mood but I still wanted something to be on my nails because I had been giving them a break from polish during my last camp week. And I was getting a bit pissed off actually because of that. Retarded I know.  :P But anyways, my dad wanted me to take him into town for a while and so I thought that I’d drop by CVS and pick up a thing of “nail stickers” or whatever you call them. So I got some! 



Kiss Nail Dress 56707 KDS09. I’m wondering if that thing there<<< is supposed to be the name. I have no idea…BUT, it came with 28 strips in 14 sizes, a design booklet that’s really cool, and a file with two different file densities on it. This is nice, cuz you can use the courser one to actually remove the excess strip, and the finer side to file it smooth.

The booklet had some very cool ideas in it for other things you can do with the strips and hopefully I’ll be able to do something with that soon. :) We’ll see. 



So here’s the first day’s wear. Er..Night. It took about fifteen-twenty minutes to do them, start to finish, but I’m sure that if you were focusing more on the nails than something else(like I was doing..), you’d be able to get it done sooner. Heehee!



And here’s day three. It says on the box that it last up to 10 days, but you would have to be really nice to your hands for them to last that long. Either that or you’d have to be willing to put up with the hang-ups from them. On the fourth day, which is not pictured, I took them off because of a few reasons.

#1. They were catching on things and that SOOOOO bugges me.

#2. I was bored with them.

#3. I felt no pride in them. You know how you do a really cool mani and you’re just like “Yea! I did those myself!”? So yea. :P

I really did like them when I put them on and it was GREAT for a really quick mani when you either don’t have time or you just aren’t in the mood to paint.  Loved the design as well! It’s so cute and that gave me a very obvious idea for nails. It’s almost a “Dur dur-dur dur!” moment. :P


Have you ever tried any nail “sticker”? What did you think of them?

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Pro Rags To Rich!



A while back, I found out how amazing CVS is. They have the best polish selection *ever*! I had gone in there expecting to see the same selection of SH and Essie at Wal-Mart and Wal-Greens, but oh, no! That’s not what I saw! I saw Orly, Sally Hansen, Confetti, Revlon, Rimmel, Spoiled, Loreal, Wet n’ Wild, and Seche! It was like Christmas for me again! :D I guess you could say that I was just a little excited. :)

So anyways, I’d been looking for a nice deep green and while in CVS, I spotted their Rimmel London Lasting Finish Pro Nail Polish Rags To Rich! It’s a shimmery forest-y green and I was really stoked! That was also close to my birthday when I got a SH No Chip Acrylic Top Coat. So around the time of my birthday, I used the Rimmel polish and the top coat together and it was terrible! The polish wrinkled when I touched it and then after it actually dryed, it started cracking!! CRACKING!  Then, I tried it again with my regular top coat, Orly’s Polishield Three-In-One Top Coat, and it worked just fine. No wrinkles, so cracking, no nothing. So…I have decided to only use that Sally Hansen top coat for my toes. :) And that’s my rant for the day. Heehee!

 

 

 

Anyhooo….I did this mani with the Rags To Rich  and Red Angel’s 109 stamping plate with a white polish. I really liked that one. The stamping is really easy once you get used to it and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to do their own nail without having to go to a salon and pay twenty buck on a mani.  It’s really fun too. :)

 

Have you ever done any stamping? How do you like it?
