I've been meaning to order from Zoya for a while, and I'm finally going to do it. --I love nail polishes--especially blues--but I thought I didn't like colour on my finger nails. I also adore my Dior nail glow, so I wear it all the time because it helps my nails grow super strong, fast, and keeps them from peeling/chipping.
Earlier this week I got a wild hair and decided to paint my fingers with OPI Get Your Number midnight blue with glitter and covered it with a few coats of Essie's gel top coat--not a fan of the sandpaper texture of sparkle polish. I don't normally paint my nails dark, unless I get a manicure. I suck at painting within the lines, get them all done and think they're dry and then dent the polish on 3 nails and have to take the polish completely off, and my most hated is when the polish peels off when I'm cleaning the extra polish around my nails off.
I saw a tip about putting elmer's glue on the skin around your nails and let it dry so the polish smudges peel right off. I didn't have elmer's glue, but I did have Modge Podge. The glue did peel right off, but sometimes it peeled all the way into the fingernail. I do want to try Elmer's glue. I have also heard about vaseline, but I have enough of a problem hanging onto the brush/only painting my NAILS, so greasing my fingers doesn't sound wise.
I really appreciate your suggestions. Other than blues, I love mauvy taupes, oranges, shimmer/hologram (I do like some glitters but prefer shimmers because they seem more mature and not something my 6 year old niece would wear), and sheers. I am definitely getting their french manicure kit sampler. How are their topcoats? I really love my Essie gel topcoat--even more than my seche vite.
