NOTW - Candy Sticks


I finally picked up the entire Revlon Sweetly Seductive collection (seen below) at Rite Aid on a BOGO 50% off. I'd been eyeing it for a while and couldn't believe my luck when I saw the little sale sticker on the display!

Base and top is Sally Hansen Green Tea + Bamboo Nail Strengthener. Each finger is between 2 and 4 coats to reach full opacity. For the striping I used essie Waltz with a photo retouching brush. (I really should have just taped it off though.) The left middle finger is 1 coat essie Waltz, 1 coat Orange Fizz, 1 coat Pineapple Fizz. The right index finger is 1 coat of Apple-tini Fizz between 2 coats Mint Fizz. 

As a side-note: they smell like fruity scratch-and-sniff stickers, nothing more - nothing less. Well aside from Colada Fizz, which smells kind of...musky. I've had this 'mani' for 4 days and can still smell them through the top coat. Obviously not not nearly as strong as day 1 without a top coat but I still catch the scent every now and then. They also haven't chipped on me yet and have a small amount of tip wear.


L-R: Watermelon Fizz, Grapefruit Fizz, Orange Fizz, Pineapple Fizz, Apple-tini Fizz, Colada Fizz, Mint Fizz, Grape Fizz

NOTW - Mermaid's Tail


Top & bottom coat is Sally Hansen Green Tea + Bamboo Nail Strengthener. 1 coat Sally Hansen Barracuda, 1 coat Nail Savvy Aquamarine, 2 coats Sinful Colors Pearl Harbor. Ring finger is the same plus 1 coat Sinful Colors Nail Junkie to hide streaked scales thanks to Sally Hansen's nail fail art pen in white.
