A Heads Up on the Peel Off Base Coat

Hi guys!

I'm totally in love with my Peel Off Base Coat (it's actually just glue!)! It's just so much easier to remove nail polish (mostly glitter polish) without using acetone or polish remover. And the best part of it: I get to keep my nail design as a souvenir!!! How cool is that?! :-D

The downside: it peeled my nails with it. :( I honestly have no clue what happened. The previous mani I did using the peel off base coat peeled off perfectly, without damaging my nails.

My pinkie had the worst damage:

Have any of you experienced anything like this? Any idea what could have gone wrong?

Dollish Polish - Dino-mite Yoshi

TGIF!!!

And I have another indie polish brand to feature on my blog! Today it's Dollish Polish's turn! I was stalking her website on the Super Mario Bros Collection's release date, because I had to have some of them! I was short of cash so I only bought 4 polishes out of the 8.

Here's Dino-mite Yoshi:

Just to make it a little more fun, I painted Yoshi on my ring finger using acrylic paint. My original idea was to paint his entire body, but it sketched it first on a piece of paper and I thought there was going to be too much detail for such a tiny thing, way beyond my painting skills. So just his head will do for now! :-)

Oh btw, I used my DIY Peel Off Base Coat for this mani too.

Polishes used:
China Glaze - Electric Pineapple (2 coats)
Dollish Polish - Dino-mite Yoshi (1 thick coat)

Peel Off Base Coat - Easy Glitter Removal

Hello again my lovely readers!

If you follow a bunch of bloggers like I do, you've seen a couple of nice tutorials on how to DIY Peel Off Base Coat. If you haven't seen, then here are 2 great links for you to check:

DIY Peel Off Base Coat - Great For Glitter by Overpolished

I'm not gonna make my own tutorial, I'm just gonna show how this method worked for! The picture below speaks for itself.

The glitter polish came off without any effort and in (almost) one piece! As you can see I had some tip wear, as this is not a normal base coat meant to keep your polish chip-free. But for a full 3 day of wear, I'm more than satisfied! I can finally wear my glitter polishes without the hassle of (foil) removal. Two thumbs up!!!

Have you tried this method? How was your experience?

Have a great day!
