No Sunday post this week, so we get a Super Special Monday post! I was really tired last night and decided to just go to bed.
Christmas came early at my house--my parents decided to get me a new digital camera so I could take better pictures for my blog! Yay thoughtful parents! I'm still trying to figure out the best setting to take the polish pics on, but I think I have it figured out now. Huzzah for 14 megapixels.
This is Sally Hansen's Gold Chrome pen. Pretty handy for a manicure in a flash. This would be perfect for that moment during the holidays where you forgot you had to be somewhere or there was a surprise gathering happening in the next five minutes. You just click the pen, paint, and it is dry within 30 seconds. I'm completely serious, it was smudge free dry, completely cured within about 30 seconds.
Be sure that you buff the life out of your nails before using this one, I could see every single little ridge and imperfection in my nails while wearing this and it drove me insane. One coat does the job, two coats is best. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT put a top coat on this. I tried to and it ruined the paint job. It is perfectly shiny as is, it just doesn't look exactly like chrome on your car would. It looked more like brushed gold, almost a matte. It did wear off very quickly. And not like polish normally wears, it faded like a marker on plastic wears (if you've ever had to write your name on your water bottle and rubbed at it, you know exactly what I mean). But it was pretty while it lasted.
