As you know, we went on a serious polish shopping spree to celebrate Robin's visit. Check out Erin's haul post
here. I have had a terrible head cold all week but still I got myself together to go on the shopping trip. It probably wasn't a good idea health-wise but it was the best idea stash-wise. My stash has never been happier :)
I still have a terrible cold and I'm finally going to the doctor today. This post will be short on words because I'm not very good at making sentences right now. I hope this post makes sense!

I decided to use
Don't Pretzel My Buttons first. As soon as I saw the first swatches of this color on
The Nail Network, I knew it would be the perfect nude for me. I was right! I will be the first to admit, this manicure looks terrible. I did a bad job. My cuticles need help. I'm sick! Give me some credit for trying. I had been wearing the same neon blue polish since the weekend and I needed a clean slate so I had to do something.
Pros- Great mannequin hands for my skin tone. Self leveling formula was great.
Cons- I had a problems with pulling on a few nails and needed a third coat to even everything out.
Overall- I kept imagining that I was painting liquid foundation on my nails, that's how close to my skin tone this shade is. Since I'm sick, I need to be sure to keep Don't Pretzel My Buttons FAR away from my foundation so I don't accidentally start sponging this on my face in a head cold daze.
Loves it!
