NYC Strip Me Off Base Coat Review

Hello everyone! I just wanted to post a quick review of a new base coat that I have purchased. I bought this at the same time as the white polish by NYC, which I also reviewed, and it was under 2 dollars at Walmart.

So this base coat is a peel off base coat meaning that you don't need any cotton balls or nail polish remover to take off your mani! I love the idea of this and I’ve always wanted to try it. This base coat actually works pretty well. It takes longer to dry than an average clear coat, which is understandable, but it still dries quickly if you use a thin coat. As for peeling it off it came off really easily until I got to the glitter part of my nails. It was a bit tough to peel off the glitter, but I managed to do it and leave nothing behind. Another problem I found with this is that it didn’t spread evenly in some places which created some bubbles.

I’d say for the price that this base coat isn’t bad. It has a few flaws, but essentially it does what it is meant to do, especially when using a solid colored polish. I think the glitter is the only thing that caused trouble, but the one I used was quite old, so that may have affected it. I’d probably buy this polish again though. Sorry this review is late (and short) btw. I’ll see you guys soon. BYYEEE

Miracle Gel "Game of Chromes" Review

Hello everyone! I recently purchased another nail polish from Sally Hansen’s Miracle Gel collection called “Game of Chromes” (#510) and I thought I’d write a review for it today. Frist of all, the name is genius. Secondly, lol, the color is gorgeous. It is really shiny and when you move your fingers under the light it kind of looks like it switches between silver and gold, like a hologram or something. It is just a really nice color if you are looking for a solid nail design that isn't super boring. I also really liked the formula of the polish. It went on very smoothly (just like the others from the line did) and it was opaque with one coat. When I used the top coat (which you have to buy separately unless you get a kit and it’s expensive but whatever), it lasted a long time with no chips. It still isn’t chipped and I could keep it on, but I redo my nails every week lol. That is all for today, but you can check out my most recent YouTube video here, or look through...

L.A. Colors Color Last - First Impressions

Hey everybody! So I was walking around my local Walmart about 2 weeks ago and I came across a new display of nail polish for L.A. Colors Color Last nail polish. The polishes went for 2 dollars (I think anyway they were pretty cheap) and they claimed to last up to 10 days with the top coat. I decided I’d test that out because why not buy more nail polish that will inevitably dry out and be wasted, whatever. So that is what this blog post is for; I’ll be giving you my first impressions of both the actual polish and the top coat itself. The color I chose is called “Friendship” and it’s a neutral purple color with slight pink tones. It also has this weird glitter that you can only see when it’s wet or if you have eagle eyes. Anyway, it is a nice color (I used 2 coats) but I had a few problems with application. This particular polish did NOT go on smoothly at all and it looked really rough on its own. I contemplated testing the polish without the top coat on one hand for a ...
