Zoya Liberty, or How to Get Horrific Stains Off Your Nails

This polish.... Oh man. So stunning, but SO STAINY. I can't even handle it. I mean, I completely love this polish and would probably wear it again, but..... not for a long time. Okay, so gaze upon the gorgeousness.

I mean. Stunning, right? And I wore the crap out of it for 3 days. But then (FULL STAIN AHEAD, BEWARE):

DUNDUNDUNNN. This is gross. Like,  what even. It would have stained my skin also, but I coated the skin around my nails with cuticle oil. 

So then I put whitening toothpaste on my nails for just over 5 minutes anddddddddd

Still not great, but, buffer to the rescue!

Begone, demon stains!


Anyone have an easier way to get stains off your nails? Or any other polishes that are this... stainy?

TT: Textured Nails

I'm the absolute worst, I've been apartment hunting and forget to publish this post, but here's Sally Hansen Sweetie for our textured nails of the day! I had 2 coats on here, and the polish went on really well, no problems with thickness or anything (though I've seen reviews that say otherwise, so I'm thinking maybe batch inconsistencies?).



I like this shade of yellow a lot, and I'm still on board the whole textured train, so I was a pretty big fan of this polish:] I hear there's some new Sugar Coat  polishes coming out, and I definitely have my eye on a few of them!

TT: Spring-to-Summer Transition

Happy Twinsie Tuesday! Today, we're showing you a polish that goes from spring to summer, and I have one of my favorite polishes of the year to show you:] I got on board with the whole Pixie-dust, textured glitter thing a while ago, but I didn't think I'd like non-glitter, texture polishes. Well, I'm gonna have to eat my words, because I'm totally obsessed with SH Sugar Coat Razzleberry. I could not stop looking at my nails. I love the shade and I actually like the texture (surprise!), and I love it for both spring and summer! It's so bright and happy. The downside- I got majorrrrrrr staining on the skin around the nails and some staining of the nail itself with this polish (even with basecoat). So I need to find a way around that ASAP. Here's two coats:
