Home Manicure-Challenged? Try Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat Tweedy
I have a hard time walking into any store that sells nail polish without buying a bottle. I'm not a nail art fanatic, but I love color on my nails. On the flip side, I hate getting my nails professionally done. Not because of the job they do, which is exellent, but because my manicures never last more than two days. Not only that, I'm so fidgety that it's an act of will to sit through the drying process long enough to not mess them up before I walk out. I fail at least every other visit. I tried a gel manicure once. Loved it. Until it was time to take it off. What a pain! Because of this I can't help but feel I'm throwing money away everytime I get a manicure.
Lately, I've been trying to do my own. I bought all of the equipment thinking, it can't be that hard. Wrong. It takes a practiced, steady hand to apply nail polish accurately, which I don't have. Using my left hand to apply polish to my right hand has just stopped turning into comedy. When I picked up Sally Hansen's Fuzzy Coat polish, it was just another one of those instances where I couldn't walk past a new 'color' without buying it. Since I generally stick to solids, I thought it'd be cool to try something new.
Trying this at home was pure delight. When you apply one coat, it's a light confetti. Apply two and it begins to come together. After three or four coats you get the full tweedy effect. Apply with a clear top coat and voila! The best part is, you can't mess it up! If a little strip moves out of place, you just push it back in place. You can't possible smudge it and if you want to make it more even, just dip the brush in nail polish remover and 'paint' the nail until the tweed moves into place. So easy.
If you've tried this or are going to let me know what you think.
