day 7 & new stuff

so i was at walmart...again....last night. i was in the nail polish aisle, which i hardly go in and wow they revamped it. it is totally different but was totally a mess and only half stocked. i was surprised to see that they now sell seche vite top and base coat (tops coat is STILL cheaper at sally's). but there is a ton of new nail art design things...most of which i already have to products to do but there were kits for the caviar nails, newspaper print kits, obmre kits (who needs a kit for that?!)....and the list goes on. i opted for some more nail wraps. im still in search of one that lasts as long as the box says that they do (without me tearing them off).



^yes, i know, i know...i shouldn't have bought this one. i have glitter exactly like it in my polish tote. i wasn't thinking. maybe i will return it for something else. ^





and here is the wraps an gel polish a week later, 2 reapplies of top coat. 2 reapplies of polish on the tips. 


ugh regrowth



ugh regrowth!




i reapplied polish and top coat on my thumb the day before this picture. it isnt holding up. 

day 6

i was really trying to get this all posted in one night but hubby wanted to play call of duty and he's not allowed to play without me since he is only 3 levels ahead of me and i need to catch up to him......soooo posting all in one night didn't happen...




^gel top coat is coming off^



day 5

the pictures speak for themselves. although you cant see it but the wraps are starting to lift at the bottom by my cuticle. again, so much for 2 week wear. when i got home from running around and got done making dinner and doing dishes, i threw on another coat of the gel topcoat. and there is noticeable regrowth on my middle finger.






gel polish day 4.....sorry

day four.....





wear and tear and chippage at the tip of my nails on my right hand....DUH DUH DUUUUUNNNN. wonder what is considered 2 week wear. i consider 2 week wear no chipping for 2 weeks but i guess that is wishful thinking.
