This week’s manicure is a color I recently found at Marshall’s. I’ve found a lot of great nail polishes at Marshall’s lately, and you can’t beat their prices. Sometimes they keep polish back in the beauty section, but I find it most often near the checkouts. You have to dig through a bin, but often there are wonderful treasures. Sometimes there are duds. Like this time.
This is Essie Serial Shopper. Okay, in this photo, it looks pretty good. Looks can be deceiving. I sensed this was going to be on the sheer side, so I used a ridge filling base coat underneath. It took three coats of polish, really thick coats, to get this coverage. Plus it dried matte, though it isn’t supposed to be a matte polish. (I used top coat.) It wasn’t winning.
The real trouble began about day three when I started getting some big chips. Usually I would just touch those up, throw on some Essie Gel Setter top coat
I couldn’t wait to take it off for real and re-do my nails. Bleh. Just keep pushing your shopping cart on past this one.
