British brand Nails Inc. is coming out with spray-on nail polish, and claims it only takes twenty seconds to apply, resulting in "the world's fastest manicure." It works like this: after applying a basecoat, you simply shake and spray the graffiti-like can over your fingertips to paint your nails. The inevitable mess can be removed with warm water or a face wipe. Topcoats are optional.
The product comes in two colours, pink and silver, and it's launching in the U.S. in two months! Nails Inc. recently launched a waiting list for those antsy U.S. nail-polish lovers. Sign up here for updates and word on when exactly you can buy a can of your own when the product launches in March 2016.
This is probably the best nail polish supply store IN MISSISSAUGA. Check it.
One thing to note: they don't sell any Essie products. I'm not really sure why, but maybe it's 'cause they're so OPI-dedicated? In any case, I've always disliked Essie (with the exception of their base and top coats), so this place is my Xanadu. It's located at 3663 Mavis Road and you can see their hours over here.
My rule about nail art? It can be great, as long as it's not aggressive. And by that I mean that only one nail on each hand should have said art. Otherwise it's way too distracting. So this week, I decided to give this pin (below) a try.

And here's how mine turned out.

Pretty good, yeah? One tip: if you do give this a try, put that white coat on and then let it dry for at least eight hours before you add the overtop coat with tape.
It's pretty shocking how easy this was to do considering how many badpins there are to try on Pinterest.
Everyone should have this in their bathroom cabinet. Everyone meaning men, too. There's nothing more annoying than when a man doesn't own any nail-fixing devices. Do they NEVER get chipped nails?! Of course those idiots do! ALL us idiots do! But I get it. They don't care about their nails - but they should. I don't want no jagged-ass man nails running their fingers through my hair! File that shit down.
Anyway, this small 4-step buffer is perfect in every way. It files, buffs, polishes and shines (with a numbered system that reminds you what order to do it in). What's the difference between polishing and shining? No idea. But when you're finished, your nails look spectacular. You know how sometimes when you do your own nails you get bumps underneath the polish? Well, that'll happen NO MORE if you use this guy. Love it so much. It comes singularly, but I got the 3-pack so I can keep one in my purse at all times, one at my boyfriend's and one at home.
“When painting your nails yourself, leave one nail undone as you do your others, and then do that one once all the others are done and perfect. This way if you screw up along the way, you still have one nail that can clean it up since it isn’t done yet.”
Women who wear nail polish love Essie. That's one of the few universal truths I've learned thus far in life. I, however, do not care for most of their colours. Why? Much too dull for my kind of living. The fact that they don't carry any fluorescent hues is the main reason I tend to steer clear of the brand as a whole.
Their base coat, though? What a beaut. They have two different base coats available and I use the milky-looking one and love it. What's the difference between the milky one and the clear base coat? Absolutely no idea - and I don't really care to find out considering it took me about three days to finally figure out what the hell "cuticle oil" is even FOR (sidenote: it's for the benefit of your nail beds so they don't get all hard or hangnail-y and using the oil daily also helps manicured nails last longer since the polish is easier to chip if the nail beds are dry). So once I learned that, I used their Apricot Cuticle Oil and it made me feel fresh as hell when I put that junk on. Absolutely their two best products. Definitely buy these, if you're in the market for this kind of thing.
