Okay, I'll start with the good news - I love OPI's Baguette Me Not from the French collection a couple years back. I've had this for a while and worn it once or twice, but I always almost never reach for it. I always think of it as boring when I see the bottle - but it comes out so lovely on the nails. I'm not even sure how I would describe it - almost a dusty coral?
Then we have the bad news. I was so excited to try Electric Lilac by China Glaze. It's such a gorgeous glitter polish, and although it took three coats to get to this opacity, I was really impressed. that it ended up the same as the bottle.
Until the next morning when it all fell off. I'm not talking chipped off. No - it came off like a fake nail would come off, all in one piece. SO bizarre. Granted, I wasn't wearing a base coat, but I've never had this problem before. I wasn't even doing anything that would usually chip my nails - I was driving when the first two came off! Everything was gone by mid-morning, so I spent the rest of the day nail polish-less. Oh the shame ;) I'm gonna try it over another polish soon, see it a similar thing happens before I give up on this polish - it is really too gorgeous.
I bought some cuticle oil from my local beautician yesterday. It smells like "Honey Suckle" and so far I really like it. It's the brand 'Chemistry' and was $8. I really don't think this is going to be an easy habit to break, but dammit, the thought of biting my nails freaks me out now, so I have faith that I can do it.
Fingers crossed.
