LED nail polish review

I know I said I would post a review last week, but a lot has been going on. So here it is.

Week 1: Only one of my nails actually chipped and started to peel. (keep in mind my nails take a beating with the physical labor that I do. So it isn't an ideal situation.) So I just repainted that nail and went about my business.

Week 2: 2 of my nails, not the one I just painted last week, started to peel. So I repainted those. But just 3 days later more of my nails started to peel.

Overall: The LED nail polish does what it says. It lasts about 2 weeks and instead of chipping it peels. Wish is nice when I only have to re-do one or two nails, its fast and easy. The nail color itself stays "wet" looking, which I personally like.

I will continue to use this type of light and polish. The only draw back is that each color is about $10.

Side note: I painted my nails about a week and a half ago, and they are doing great. No sign of peeling or dulling. So I am EXTREMELY happy with the results!

3d Canvas painting

My friend has been feeling really down lately, and I haven't had much motivation/time to do any fun DIY projects.

LED nail set

Lately I have been into painting and designing my nails. But working at the animal shelter reaked havoc on my polish. Sometimes the polish wouldn't even last a whole day. So when I saw the LED activiated nail polish I was really interested in how it worked, how long it REALLY lasted, and how easy/affordable it was.

I did some research online about the difference between LED and UV light polish. From what I got it wasn't much except the cost of bulbs. Each requires a base and top coat and special lighting.

For me, my local Walmart made the desiscion for me about which I would try. They had a kit specifically for the LED polish.

Cherry Blossom Mug

Before Christmas my friend and I started painting mugs. We picked up a few mugs from our local craft store along with some acrylic paint. (this will make it so the mugs cannot be used for drinks, but great for decorations.)

Here is a look at my mug.
