Burgundy & Gold Nails

Sponsored | Bought Myself | Press Sample | Nothing to Disclose | Giveaway Winnings | Gifted

Good morning (afternoon or evening) today I will be sharing with you a polish from Cover girl and some Foil Metal Gold 3D Decal Slices from Born Pretty Store.

I'll be honest, this whole mani was a fail for me. The polish is Pyro Pink from Cover Girls Hunger Games District Collection, and it was just okay for me, nothing really speical. I know I used 3 coats, possibly 4 to reach some kind of opaqueness.

The decal slices were the worst part for me, they looked super pretty in the packaging, but once I got them out they felt really stiff and I thought I may have an issue working with them. I was right, after I painted my last coat of polish, using tweezers I placed the decal on my nail and pushed one side down with the tweezers to get it to 'stick' to the polish. Once I had the one side down, I went to push the other side down, and the first side would pop back up. I also attempted to 'bend' them on my own so the would lay flat on my nail, but I had no luck at all. Maybe they are not supposed to lay flat, I don't know LOL


I don't know if it was just 'operator error' or what with these, but they just did not work for me.

As always if you wish to make a purchase with Born Pretty, be sure to use my coupon code:  SMBW10

I have two upcoming posts, both reviews. One is for some Vincent Longo makeup products that I received from Beauty Stat and the other is a Moisturizing Foot Soak that I received from Candie Chic! Hope you all will come back for those :)

TIOT: Sephora by OPI I Only Shop Vintage

This is my first Sephora by OPI polish that I have tried, and I love it! So glad that I was able to find some of these polishes at Big Lots a while back for only $1.80 each!

Today's color is I Only Shop Vintage, it is a beautiful tan color with lots of gold shimmer. Application of this polish was amazing and it was a fairly quick drying polish. I think I used 3 coats of this, I'm not 100% sure, but about 95% sure LOL. Wear time was also amazing, I wore this for 4 or 5 days and I did not have any chips and barely any tip wear.




Very impressed with this polish, I have one more of the Sephora by OPI polishes to swatch, should have it up in the next couple weeks. It's called Ruby Without a Cause, I really hope it wears as well as this one did! But until then my schedule says next week will be Grape Juice from China Glaze :)
