It seems more often than not Happy Hour ends in a ruined mani. Here is an example:
Color Club - Magic Attraction
I love this glitter. Yea I know, I can't believe those words are leaving my mouth, but it has some holo like glitter in there that is definitely worth the pain and extra (and I mean extra) topcoat.
How pretty!
I finally got it smooth after putting on topcoat once a day for 3 days straight.
So all is going well during happy hour, I even got a compliment on the mani :D yay!
On the train ride home however I'm starring off into to space, contimplating how I can swipe the fries from the toddler next to me without her mom noticing, when I glance down and see ....
Okay not too bad. I was bummed, but it's doable till I got home. However, this prompted me to look at the rest of my hands.
WTF. Half my thumb was missing, LOL!
I totally just stuck my thumb in my palm.
Then when I finally get home this happened! LOL
The amusing part was, I found the other half on my carpet. Oh man! bahahaha ... Thank god I was home.
Serendipitously , how ever the pointer finger incident happened, it caused a split that prompted the Nail Fix series (which can be found here.)
I have more stories like this, so stay tuned for the carnage. :D
this is what my nails look like EVERY week.. My manis never stay.. sigh..
ReplyDeleteThis is what my nails look like after 5 facials.
ReplyDelete@Antoszewskia - I blame SV!
ReplyDelete@Rachel Marie - Dang, but on the bright side they are seriously moisturized right?!
This is what my nails look like after 200 cases of rum, but I work at a distillery so it's not really the same is it?
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I read your title I thought: Yes. Yes, it does. LOL I think that's also a side effect of multiple coats of TC. Either way, it *was* pretty.
ReplyDeleteAhh love this. It looks so good on your nail length too.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the carnage though... :(
Magic Attraction is such a pretty glitter! Grrr, SV - multiple layers make glitter so smooth yet so peel-able. At least it came *after* the boozing ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL ain't that the truth
ReplyDeleteHahaha! I'm yet to have this problem with happy hour, but I do have this problem with glitter in general...it just flakes off my nails. Booo. :(
ReplyDeleteI don't drink but you just gave me another reason not to, LOL!!! That color looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteLOL nice finding it on the carpet. SCORE. This is a fabulous glitter!
ReplyDelete@jaybird - haha, only if you're taking a bit off the top of each one. Giiirrl, way back I saw you were from TN and swear to God the first thing that poped in my mind was moonshine! Smelling that stuff makes my polish pop off :p
ReplyDelete@Megan Harmeyer - totally agree with you on all counts!
@ChaosButterfly - Aww, thanks. Ya know it's because of you that I even got it. I saw it on your blog and was mesmerized! <3
@Andi - totally! >.<
@nikole - Amen, sista!
@Varnish Vixen - poo poo, on the bright side ... bring on the untrieds!
@For Me, It Works - Seriously, reason four hundred sixty seven lol. Thanks!! :D
@Gotham Polish - I even placed it back on to check the fit, LOL. I agree, I love it!
thats sooooo glittery!!! I wouldnt mind chipping if the color is gorgeous, it just give me an excuse to paint my nails again. hahaha
ReplyDeleteNice mani - good thing you didn't polish right before happy hour!
ReplyDeleteThat is some pretty glitter! The chipped look is sooo Rock N Roll \m/
ReplyDelete@Silence is Loud - Totally!
ReplyDelete@ABOP - So true, would have been such a waste.
@Olivia - hahaha :D
You know, this is the worst thing ever. How embarassing, right? I mean you're working away, talking to people and then BAM, you notice that you're missing polish.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain my friend
@Christina - LOL, EXACTLY :D
