I had fun playing with the two of these. When I got these during the BOGO, I also ordered Remove+ to try it. Lets just say I <3 that.
I wanted to play with both of these & decided to use them at the same time. I noticed that Lolly seemed to be a little bit harder to work with than Phoebe, but for my first time with matte's it wasn't a bad experience. This was the fastest mani EVER.
I used these and alternated fingers with the colors. I used probably about 3 coats each, but didn't pay much attention to using it carefully as I was just trying to get it on the nail. I think each coat was dry about 5 seconds after I put the brush back in the bottle & I did each nail separately.

Then I taped the tips off for a french.
I only did the french on my left hand, and just alternate colors on my right hand.
LoL, I was watching movies on Netflix while I did this mani, so I just grabbed something to hold to make sure I could show all the nails.
Then I got bored with it & put a top coat on to see how long it would last. Everyone's said that the matte alone doesn't last long & chips easily. I used Sally Hansen Double Duty as a top coat, no base coat at all, & this mani has been on for more than 24 hours with no chipping.
I looked over at my cabinet & noticed I had a frosted pinkish blue shotglass, wish I'd realized it sooner. So, I took pics holding it and a pink cup from a cruise with the top coat on.

I absolutely LOVE Phoebe. I wish they had this in a shade that looked just like it does with the topcoat. A-MA-ZING! Lolly is cute too and I really don't have many pink's in my collection, so this is a great universal one to add.
I'm still working on my clean-up skills. All of the pics were taken before I attempted to clean-up the mess in case I jacked them up. Fortunately, I didn't. However, I did get less polish on my skin than I used to. So at least that's getting better.
TOODLES Y'ALL!!!
Such a fun and cuted mani! :)
ReplyDeleteThe pink and blue combo is really cute. I didn't get any of the mattes, wishing I had now LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks! I just took it off and still didn't have any chips after 24+ hours. I did notice some really bad staining with the blue, but it came off while I was soaking in the tub.
ReplyDeletei love these two colors they remind me of pink and blue cotton candy....and you are right about the blue staining haha it came off after i took a shower
