Candy Cane Mani

Here's the manicure I sported this week. Yes, ALL of this week...I swear, this Nails Inc. polish is indestructible. I love peppermints and candy canes, so naturally I celebrated the holiday season with a red-and-white-striped mani. I drew varying sizes of white stripes to mimic the look of an actual candy cane. My thumb turned out the best and most realistic, I think.

Red base coat is Nails Inc. St James, and white stripes were done with a Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in white.

The Awesomeness of Nails Inc.

Words cannot describe my newfound love of Nails Inc. polish. Holy crap, does this stuff has staying power.

I just received the beautiful pink creme Shoreditch this week and had to try it immediately (of course). At first I wasn't so sure about the formula -- it's a little on the thin side, a bit runny at first. But once I got used to it, application was a delight. It applies smoothly, dries quickly, and lasts FOREVER. Seriously. Even my husband has commented on how beautiful and fresh my polish looks, even after three straight days and quite a bit of nail abuse.

Of course I can't fall in love with some readily available American brand! But at least Nails Inc. is easy to find online, on both eBay and the official Nails Inc. website. I've already ordered some more colors and can't wait to get them.
