Gel Polish wear and tear- Gelish Mini with Sally Hansen base and top coat

I am greatly displeased with this chip. Filthy, dirty, sneaky, thieving chip! Robbing me of at least week more of chip-free wear! Now, it's probably my fault it's there in the first place (incorrect application?) but I am upset nonetheless. I am wondering if it is the Gelish gel itself that is prone to chipping, or the top and base coat from Sally Hansen I used? Perhaps I didn't seal the free edge of my nails as well as I thought I did? In any case, I'll just have to see what happens with the next gel manicure.

Gelish Mini "Rake in the Green" Application video and review

A couple days ago I applied Gelish Mini's Rake in the Green to all my nails. Here's the video:

I thought the consistency was a bit strange, I really didn't like it all that much with only two coats applied. I did three thin coats for my right hand, and I feel like the color turned out better that way. I also used Rake in the Green to varnish my toenails, and either the Sally Hansen LED lamp that I used isn't strong enough for it(?) or the polish's consistency has gone bad, since the gel on the edges of my nails seem to have worn off, and on the first day! This would only be my third time applying gel polish, so I don't quite know how to troubleshoot it yet.

It's been a while!

It has literally been FOREVER. Having a tiny tot doesn't really help me much when want to write. You know how it goes: "WAAAAAAAH!" and off you go to stick some milk-dispensing device in the little one's mouth.

This post is mostly going to be a reminder of sorts to myself as to what topics I want to research and write about... when I find the time. Also, these are things I've "gotten into."

- cloth diapering
- bare minimum clothing
- barefoot walking/running
- babywearing
- attachment parenting
- squats for beginners (#buildabooty!)
- stretching for flexibility and health

Other things, other things. I've gotten into spinning! I should really blog about all the yarn I spin.

Gotta study for a test right now. And then wash some diapers. And... God knows what else. Vocalise probably.

Seeya later!
