Manicure of the Week

As you know I bought Revlon Peachy so I decided to use it this week. I loved the color but the nail polish was watery and in order for it to be opaque I had to use 2 thick coats. However, this resulted in the nail polish taking FOREVER to dry. This was my first Revlon polish and it was sort of a let down but I'm hoping that it was just this bottle because I have my eye on some other polishes. Moving on, this is my design:

After I finished with Revlon Peachy I felt like I needed to add something extra so I used my silver nail polish and stripper. I hope you like it. 
For my next design I'm thinking of doing a tape mani so be on the lookout.

Any comments, questions or suggestions comment below :)

Micro Haul and Zebra Print Mani

Hey Everyone,
Recently I got my package from amazon. I finally broke down and got Konad special polish in black even though I know there are other regular nail polishes that work just as well. I also bought Revlon Peachy, which, from the pictures I saw, is exactly like Essie Tart Deco. And on amazon the Revlon polish was only 4.00 and some change so I had to buy it.

For the manicure I did last week I decided to do a zebra print with Sally Hansen Lacey Lilac and the Konad special polish in black. I used the plate SE 22. 

Excuse the chipping. It's been a week since I painted my nails.
 When stamped I was a little disappointed because the black wasn't as opaque as I wanted it to be. I had to fill in in the lines with a black striper. I'm not sure if it was because I didn't use a Konad stamping plate but I will try again with a different plate and see if it works better. If not, then it was a waste of money. 

If you guys have any tips that could help me or if this has happened to you leave a comment below.
