On my off day I went to TJ Maxx and randomly picked up a few things. I always struggle with keeping nail polish on for..get this..two days. I work with my hands a lot. It prevents me from even wanting to do my nails because I know the very next day they will be chipped away into oblivion. Enter my new holy grail top coat!
Essie No Chips Ahead Top Coat
This was found at TJ Maxx for around four bucks. I think it normally retails for around eight or so. I thought I should give this a try since other no chip top coats work...miserably. No chips they said, it will make your nails polish last they said. I have read other reviews about this stuff never drying. I apply my polish and wait at least an hour then apply this top coat and let it dry for around thirty minutes. It does take a minute to dry but it is well worth it. I was shocked that my nail polish today was not chipped.
So this means I can actually do my nails like a normal person!
Oh and in the title I mentioned a rant about black lipstick. Don't get me wrong I adore the look of black lipstick. But I have a love/hate (mostly hate) relationship with it.

1. It gets everywhere but your lips. On your loved one, on your face, and in your hair for some reason.
2. No matter how much I layer the lipstick there is always a faded spot in the middle of my lips.
3. Even using a lip liner it feathers.
4. I feel like I cannot speak or thing about drinking out of a straw without it becoming a kamikaze pilot on my face. No why are you shifting around on my lips?! STAHP!
5. If it is sunny outside I can feel the sun upon my lips. Soaking up the heat. This feels weird..no!
So is there a makeup product you love but hate?
Sounds like you should try one of those velvetines that go on wet and dry matte. :3 Though I suppose then your lips might chip!
