ETERNAL Fashion Review + JellySandwich Mani

So if you follow me on IG you know that I got 3 ETERNAL Fashion nail polishes yesterday. I found these at Navarro Pharmacy its a Hispanic Store and they were only $1.49! I loved the price but more than anything the colors and the formula, I'll be back there for more very soon. Sadly these babies don't have names but instead and ID # so that's what I'll be calling them.




This is what I use as my base and topcoat when I do my swatching, even sometimes when I do my nails, depends what's closest!(this ColorClub topcoat dries super fast!!)
 
 
 
 
 


So here they are, I put their "name" on the caps so you know who is who!
 
 
 
 
This is the orange/pink goodness of 79E. This polish was almost a one coater and that in itself is a huge plus in my book!(I have 2 coats on) 
 
 
 
 
 
Another photo of 79E.
 
 
 
 
 
And last one!
 
 
 
 
 
 
This is 13E a loud tangerine almost jelly polish. It went on like a dream and it dries super shinny almost doesn't need a topcoat!( I have on 2 coats)
 
 
 
 
 
 
Another look at 13E.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Now we have 59E, I have to say this is my favorite of the 3! Its a super pale pink jelly with shimmer that is undetected in photos but in person looks amazing!(I have on 3 coats)
 
 
 
 
 
Another looks at 59E.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And YES I had to see how a jellysandwich would look with 59E so over it I put 1 thin coat of Trust Fund Baby by Spoiled and then 2 more coats of 59E.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
So what do you thing about these? Like any of the colors?

Easy Glitter Removal

 YAY I'm back, so sorry I was MIA for 2 weeks. I was having computer issues and when I tried to post from my phone and iPad it was a disaster! BUT I'm back with lots of post ideas (so that's good right?).

Today I'll be sharing with you an easy way to remove glitter polish, easier and less of a hassle than the foil method. While the foil method is a great way to remove glitter polish it has its down side. It makes your nails and cuticles dry because of the exposure to acetone, also the foil preventing ventilation adds to that. I found that my fingers got really hot every time I would remove glitter that way. All things aside the foil method is a genius and super effective way to remove glitter polish hands down.

I stumbled upon another way to get rid of your glitter polish. This method starts at the base of your mani, using Elmer's Glue as a base coat. Now some things you need to make sure you do:

1. Use NON TOXIC Elmer's Glue.
2. The Elmer's Glue base has to be put onto your bare nails.
3. The glue has to dry completely before you start to paint your nails.
4. Only use the Elmer's Glue on nails that you will be adding glitter to.


TIPS:

1. I put my Elmer's Glue into an empty SechVite bottle, you can use any nail polish bottle that is empty or almost empty.
2. Make sure you clean the bottle and brush really good with pure acetone before you add the glue.
3. When applying the glue on your nail put a thin coat on, you don't need a too much of it on your nail.
4. Make sure you have something to do while you wait for the glue to dry or else it will feel like forever.


Here are the photos.


One Coat of the Elmer's Glue.
 
 
 
 
5 Minutes after applying it. Half way to being dry.
 
 
 
 
10 minutes after applying it, completely dry.
 
 
 
 
Added my Rejuvacote Base Coat over the already dry glue base. this is to prevent staining.
 
 
 
 
 
2 coats of my base polish, this is Psychedelic Scene by Color Club.
 
 
 
 
 
1 coat of Klean Color's Grand Finale, bar shaped holo glitter.
 
 
 
 
 
2 coats of Gelous Top Coat.

(in doors) This dark out of focus photo is so you can see the holo glitter.
 
 
 
 
 
 
To remove them you lift the polish from the side with an orange stick. Make sure to be gentle,then just peel it off. It should come off in one piece.
 
 
 
 
 
There will be some stuff left on the side of your nails and remover will take care of that.
 
 
 
So what do you think? Will you be trying this out?
