A lazy week for my nails


What happens when you combine pretty nail polish with laziness ... a mani that just wont die.

Day 1
Revlon - Pink Chiffon

3 coats, maybe 4. Perhaps it was the coffee talking, but I had some issues with streakiness.  Still the color was just so calming.


Day 1


After a little top coat everything was golden ... no pink.


















Day 1
Under warm light.
















 And then I bought Revlon - Popular (aka Revlon - Starry Pink) and thought it would be a perfect compliment.

Day 4













Son, I was not disappointed.

1 thick coat topped with top coat.






Day 6



At some point I started noticing the dreaded regrowth at the cuticle *shudders*, and some tip wear.

















Day 6

Also some chippage on the thumbs.







Day 6




But honestly the wear was only visible in macro mode.  That combined with how pretty it was and my lazziness ....

I slapped on some top coat and called it a night.


Day 7

However, the next day I could not ignore it any longer ... the regrowth was taunting me ... very loudly.

Mani Dead.

  4. Sometimes, my polish peels up esp when I'm using a lot of shea butter on my cuticles-I just slap on some base coat and glue it right back on. Have lost a whole nail before-laziness just glued it right back on. No one knows the difference! But you can't hide regrowth. Haven't come up with a solution for that one yet!

  14. Wow, 7 days! I usually go bonkers after 3-4! I'm not a huge fan of sheer pinks but really like the end result with Starry pink...very fairyesque!

  15. This combo looks so amazing on you! Nice save, by the way!I had a mani (Revlon silver penny base!) last a full week-I was bored but lazy too-the gappage was NOT pretty. My only save is usually some SV topcoat or a dab of color on the bad chip and then some SV.

  19. it's really pretty with glitter on, but 7 days oh I've never ever had one nail polish on for so long, usually after a day or two I already get tired of the color

  20. I love that soft pink, so shiny!! Glittery top coats are great to revamp a mani you don't want/are too lazy to remove :-P
    But hey 7 days are really a long time for a mani, and it's amazing there's almost no tipwear!!

  21. Poo you didn't get great wear but it's a pretty combo - I've only worn 'Starry Pink' or 'Popular' on it's own with three coats and had great results with the wear.

  22. I see why you love the classic manis - that pink on its own is stunning!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh wow, Starry Pink looks awesome over that pink! Major nail envy! :D
