Here Comes Peter CottonTail

I'm a little late with this due to some technical difficulties I had when it came to pictures. Anyway, this was my easter manicure! It was based off of the piggy one I did for my birthday. Rabbits are my favorite animal, so this was on my to-do list anyway.

(Before: I Just loved these colors so much on their own.)

Pointer to pinky: Xtreme Wear Pacific Blue mixed with Xtreme Wear White On, Xtreme Wear White                                                           On, Xtreme Wear Lacey Lilac, Xtreme Wear Mellow Yellow mixed with Xtreme Wear White on.

Thumb: Xtreme Wear Mint Sorbet 

The Black is Xtreme Wear Black out, the pink is Xtreme Wear Bubblegum Pink, and the blue eyes of the white bunny is Xtreme Wear Blue! Me Away.

    

My bunny, Radar!

Dotted

So I recently got a new nail dotting tool, and I figured, what better way to use it than with a manicure consisting entirely of dots! This manicure is super easy and also helped me test out a ton of unworns that I've had just collecting dust.

I used one coat of Xtreme Wear White on as a base, and then every purple and green that I own.  

Sally Hansen Salon Effects

I have been extremely skeptical about these Salon Effects polish strips. I really wanted to give them a shot but I was unwilling to shell out $9 on a product that would probably cause me to crash and burn. Luckily, for my birthday a friend of mine gave me a set as a gift! Each package includes 16 nail polish strips, a cuticle stick, and a mini file & buffer.

They claim to last for up to ten days, so thus begins the experiment! I have a serious problem with my nail polish peeling off in huge chunks, so this should be interesting. I used Sally Hansen Salon Effects Laced Up.

Day 1-

Day 3-

Final thoughts: The application of these is pretty easy to get the hang of. I was pretty disappointed by these though. They claim to last 10 days, but I already had major chipping by day 3! It got to be so bad that I didn't even make it to day 10, I took them off on day 5. With that being said, I think that they would be of better use as a one day manicure for a special event, instead of paying for a professional.
