L'Oreal Colour Riche Nail Lingerie

Hi guys! I've been super busy lately preparing for the ACT and I just recently went to Prom which means that I've been a little MIA, but going to Prom meant stocking up with a variety of new beauty products to wear! This was even what I was wearing on my nails that night!

These strips have a gorgeous effect. They are gold flecks that start from the bed of the nail and then fade off. I layered the strip over a coral polish so that it would match my dress. They're easy to apply in that you just take the sticker off the piece of plastic and press them onto the nail. There are a variety of sizes so they fit all fingers. You can cut or file off the excess.

My one problem with this strip is that it's a plastic strip. Therefore, it at the tips of my nails where there would normally be chipping, the plastic comes up. This happened literally 12 hours after I applied them. It's not very nice to look at, I can't really cut or file it off, and it doesn't feel that nice. Unfortunately, this is a major downfall of the product and I wouldn't necessarily buy it again because of this.

Minx: Celeb Manicures in Silver Moons

These are really really neat.  I've wanted chrome nails for such a long time and I when I saw these on sale at Ulta for $4.99, I snatched one. I've gotten compliments on my nails and they look so cool.

This is the first set of nail strips that I've seen that come with a set for fingers and toes. There are strips to fit the biggest and smallest of fingers and toes - 12 for toes and 16 for fingers. However, I found that I would be inbetween sizes, especially my big toes, so I had to be creative.

I found these to be relatively easy to apply. They were a little thicker than some other brands I've tried but I found that they last a longer. I've had the ones on my toes for 2 weeks now and they still look brand new. I'm really impressed. But when they do start to chip there is almost a layer of plastic on the top that is really annoying. I had to keep pressing it down, and the plastic would be there, but the chrome would be gone. So it never really chipped, per se. I just took off the rest with regular nail polish remover.

I still think that these are really cool and I would definitely buy them again. For a vacation week they would be super cute!
