Stuuuuuuuning!

I FINALLY have a new mani to show you! It's been a while since I've painted my nails as I wanted them to become less...stained. I paint my nails so much that they were kind of icky looking. I should probably invest in a better base coat, but, I got the Ulta ones on sale, buy one get one. Once I'm done with those I'll look into another brand.

I'm using another SinfulColors polish that I got from my haul a while back. Now that it's warming up outside with the illusion of Spring, I figured that I could get away with a coral color. It's called "Island Coral" and I used a little of Revlon's "Stunning" on my ring fingers.
I think I'm getting a little better with the photos. 
I really like the coral on me, I love this color. I had to use about 4 coats, though, as the polish was a little thin. The Revlon polish is beautiful. It's small and large holo hex glitters suspended in a clear base. This polish is also quite thin. I don't mind using a lot of layers of this one, though, because of it's beauty.

I used to be a big fan of the Seche Vite quick dry top coat, until I discovered a rather scary warning on the side of the bottle that read "This product contains a chemical known to the state of California to cause birth defects and other reproductive harm." Also, it caused my nail polish to shrink at the tips which was really annoying. So, I decided to switch my loyalty to one called Out The Door. The first bottle I had worked really good. I recently bought another one, because I had ran out. Well, I don't know if the first bottle was defective, or if this one is, but, this formula in this bottle is almost too thin to work as a successful top coat. So...I made a possibly not so wise decision to continue to use the last of my Seche Vite. I mean, I'm not planning on having kids soon, so...eh. I know that makes me sound like not a very intelligent person, but, oh, well.

I also invested in two new hand products. The first one is called "Healthy Hoof," and it was originally formulated for horses. It's claims to be "an intensive protein treatment." It's to moisturize and nourish the nails and cuticles. It's a very creamy product. So far I really like this product. I got it from CVS for about $5, not bad for the size, 1 oz. It smells kind of like the medicated Chapstick. I'm a weirdo, so, I like the smell. Due to it's creaminess, I only use a little each time, but, it goes a long way and I can tell this is going to last me a while, which is good.

The next product I got was a Crabtree & Evelyn hand cream. I got the Rosewater Age Defying Hand Remedy. This is one I've had before, but in Lavender. It's got a very light rose scent, which is very nice and not overpowering. This one is quite a cream, but, a little thinner, more like a lotion. You only need about a pea sized amount for both hands with this one. It's 3.4 oz, and I got it on sale for $8. I love this product. 

Don't mind my awesome unicorn and rainbow blanket in the back. (:
That's really all I've got for now. Tomorrow I'm going to post something I made out of duct tape that's super awesome and cute. (:

Also, I'm going to be doing the March Photo Challenge. (: The link is here if you're interested.
