My first manicure photo! Sheer disappointment!

My first manicure!
Dunh, dunh, dunh!



A No-name sheer I found at Ross.
I love it!
While my hands are in dire straights, my nails are stained and my nails look like I filed them while I was semi-conscious, the polish itself: a winnah!

Why?
It went on like a dream.
It dried beautifully.
It also has this little opalescent shimmer, which I adore in a polish. Nothing that says "Bowling Ball" just that subtle shimmer.
It never bubbled, it never hassled.
It came in a set with three other colors: a dark charcoal shimmer, creme shimmer, and a burgundy shimmer.

This photo was taken on a hazy day using a southern facing window, which is how most of my pix will be taken.

More photos
A couple more other polishs for a round up:

A couple days later I added a couple coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Strobe Light"
The pale rose glitter and holo glitter is very pretty. In daylight the holo is great, but the pink glitter seems a little dark.




A pretty polish. A mild nightmare removing.













A few days later I took the orange Walmartland polish pic.



My skin looks yellow. I don't smoke. Very strange.

It was $1.00 per bottle. I think, for that price, I can add some shimmer to it for next H'ween and call it good.

I don't think orange is my color!

I never wear it, now I know why.







I am now wearing a "medium red" by E.L.F. I found at Ross in a trio pack. I don't yet have the photo uploaded to flickr, but will soon. I also found some Poshe nail polish restorer, which helped because this poor thing was just starting to die off. I wonder how long it took to even get to Ross and my hands. It took a few drops of Poshe, but wow, it went on very nicely and I love it.

More later!

Thanks for reading, if you are out there!
:D
