Unstick your nail polish bottles

Have you ever used your teeth to open your nail polish? I know I have, here is a quick tip to cleaning your nail polish bottles so you can open them easily every time.

So this is what it looks like before. I used my teeth to open it because it was really stuck.
So the tools you need are just a cotton pad and nail polish remover.

Soak the cotton pad with nail polish remover.

Wipe the outside of the bottle with nail polish remover to remove all that dried, caked up nail polish.

Go over it a few times if you need to. I think I used about 3 cotton pads.

Just keep going in circles around until it all comes off.

You have a clean bottle of nail polish. 

Now close it and open it easily the next time you want to use it.

Thanks for watching and I hope this helps you!

Almay Smart Shade Smart Balanced Pressed Powder

My personal picture

I just bought the new Almay pressed powder. I'm not crazy about it but I don't hate it so much that I need to return it. I will try to post a picture of me with it on but my camera is acting up and my phone is running out memory. Let me know if any of you have tried it and what you think of it. i need a tri-pod so I can start doing some videos.

 My first impression was it looked good on my skin, but then the color didn't really match, then I got closer to the mirror and looked at my face good and it caked up all over. I'm super oily and I bought this hoping it would mattify my face for touch ups but it just caked up everywhere. Going to try it one last time tomorrow. Thanks for reading.  Here are some more pictures of the actual product.

 This is my own personal opinion and I bought this product with my own money.

Crackle Nail Polish on top of Pink Glitter

Hi all!! So I decided to do a glitter crackle nail polish and I wanted to post my pictures on how I did it. So here we go.

The tools you need:

Pink Polish

Pink Glitter Polish

Black Crackle

Clear Polish

A stiff flat brush

Nail Polish Remover

Cotton Rounds

(Not the remote control)

Start by polishing all your nails with the pink, just one coat.

Let that dry and paint 2 coats of glitter on top, allow each to dry in between

Once Coat

Two Coats

Allow it to FULLY dry, the crackle works best on super dry nails.

Don't worry about the spill on your skin because we are going to wipe that off after.

Once it is dry, apply the crackle on top and watch what happens.

Black OPI crackle

The pink shows through just a little. 

The crackle polish dries very dull.

Allow it to dry and apply a clear coat.

Let that dry and apply a second clear coat, and once that is dry we can clean up our polish.

To clean the polish from the skin this is what you will need.

A flat round cotton.

A brush with a stiff flat side.

The cap of the nail polish remover filled with a little remover.

All you do is dip the edge of the brush in the polish remover and wipe the side of your nail.

It will come right off, clean it on the cotton and continue with all your nails.

Now enjoy your beautiful nails and get a ton of compliments!!
