Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Pardon me for being absent for so long; life got in the way of the blog and I was having trouble finding my niche in the blogging world. There are so many polish bloggers out there and I was trying to emulate some of my favorites, which was causing tons of stress for me! So, new year, new way of doing things!! You'll see less posts but more information on the polishes, plus hopefully a lot more nail art as I delve into that and try some things I've never tried before!

This look was done using some nail things I got for Christmas. My boys know I do my nails a lot and told their PawPaw I needed nail polish for Christmas! Man I love those boys!!! Anyway, I got a small basket full of goodies and it included some things I hadn't ever tried before, like nail stickers and nail polish strips. 

For these, I polished two coats of Pure Ice Siren on my index, middle, and pinky nails. Siren is an amazing bright red cream, and even though in the pic below it shows VNL, it didn't in real life. Then I used Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips in I Love Lacey on my thumb and ring finger. I've never used these before and I have to say I was pretty impressed with their wearability and their ease of use. After that I used Essence French Glam nail stickers that matched on my index, middle, and pinky nails. I am super surprised about the wearability of these stickers, I had zero peeling or removal in the two days I wore these! To finish, I top coated everything with Out The Door topcoat.

Hope you enjoy this look as much as I did and I also hope your new year brings you everything you dream of!

All yours, The Unprofessional Polisher ;-)
