I realized last week that this blog had close to 1.5 million page views and it has left me awe, especially considering the fact that I was inactive for most part of the year.

If you follow me on Instagram or watched the current favorites video that I published a few months back, you've probably seen me rave about these. I love to paint my nails, the process is borderline therapeutic so I do it often. As a result, other than opacity, the next thing that I look out for with polishes is staying power.

I went to Casabella the other day to pick up another jar of deep conditioning cream and just as I was about to leave, I saw a bunch of nail polish sets on display. They were all from China glaze so I went to look (as if that explains anything). They mostly all had at least one nail polish with glitter in it and such happy names, that immediately told me that they were all part of a christmas collection. It took a little googling to realize that the collection wasn't even new. Jingle all the way is part of a 2012 China glaze holiday collection.

If you guys remember, I had this nail polish in my last "They deliver" post. Prior to that purchase, I'd been on a very serious hunt for a decent gold polish.
I wasn't really expecting anything spectacular, I just wanted something that I could use as a base for most of my glitter polishes that had gold in them.
Gold Bright is a lovely gold shade with finely crushed gold glitter.
I'm not a fan of frosty nail polish because they tend to apply very streaky but this bad boy really impressed me. With the first coat, there is a bit of streakiness but after the second coat, you really won't be able to tell. It applies smoothly and believe me, two coats is all you need. It has a foil finish and looks amazing when topped off with a high shine top coat.
Purchased from - Beautyjoint.com
Price - $1.75 which is about N280

- I Started off by applying one coat of Orly bonder.
- Then I applied two coats of Sally Hansen Nail polish in Bad to the bone.

- Next I applied Sally Hansen nail polish in black Heart on the exposed area.
- Once you've applied the black polish on about half of the nail, peel the tape off immediately.

HOW TO:
PRODUCTS USED:
- I started off by applying one coat of Orly nail Defense waited 5 minutes and applied one coat of Orly bonder.
- Next I applied two coats of Sally Hansen Nail polish in White on (300) on all my nails
- After it dried completely I applied two coats of Forever fashion colour in No 96 and two coats of Sally Hansen nail polish in White on (300) in stripes on a makeup sponge.
- Next I gently stamped/dabbed the nail polish that I applied on the sponge directly unto my nails (minus the middle finger) till I got the desired effect. (If you feel that the polish isn't showing up properly as you apply, don't hesitate to reapply thin coats on the sponge).
- With a dotting tool dipped into the Forever fashion colour in No 96 I created random dots on my my middle finger
- Then I applied two coats of seche vite fast drying top coat on all my nails. This will give your manicure needed shine and help the colours blend perfectly.
- I finished off by cleaning my nail area and cuticles with acetone and a nail brush. You can clean up with nail polish remover and some cotton buds. I prefer to use actone (or nail disslover) for clean ups because acetone gets the polish off faster.
Happy Independence Day!!
I pray that things get better than they are, I pray for peace. I pray that one day, this country will be used to others as an example of what it is to achieve the impossible. Nigeria has so much potential! I pray that we all realise our dreams of a better tomorrow.
XOXO,
