I like the Sinful Professional Nail Color and really did not like the Essie nail polish I got to spoil myself...
Which is silly since Sinful averages around $2 and Essie nail color cost my $9 with a coupon...

Can anyone tell what the big deal over Essie nail color is?

Yeah...I know exactly what you mean. Essie has always chipped on me, the same day. The same with the "Nicole" nail laquer. I do not know why.
For the price of each of those in a drugstore, I can get O.P.I or Orly in a beauty supply store, (which is of much higher quality, w/ the latest season's shades) for the same price, if not less.

I've recently discovered a way to keep your polish on longer and not have chips.

If anyone has used any glitter nail polish, we know it's harder to remove. It comes off much easier with a pure acetone remover vs the nourishing or non acetone kinds.

Paint your nails your fav color, use a same or contrasting glitter polish as a stripe, like a tip, across the top of your nail. Use a top coat as well. My fav, sold at Sally's is called Out the Door. It is also a quick dry. My manicure on natural nails can last up to 4-5 days with out a chip. Oh, and if it does, case we use our nails as tools...just touch up with the glitter polish.

One of those , you wouldn't know about me on the BFP, I used to have a license to do nails

Yep! Me too. I hated them until this one. I get a perfect line and they come in lots of cool colors! :-)

You can get the liquid liner in colors? I only saw black. I've seen the eyeliner pencils in a ton of colors though - have you tried these?

Yes, I have black, brown, purple, silver sparkle and pink sparkle all in liquid. No, I have not tried the pencil liners, I will check them out!

I’ve been using ELF sunscreen in their “Whoa Glow” lotion version and I really like it. It comes in several shades so a person can find a shade that best matches their skin tone. And, it’s cheap. Good stuff.

Did you know that ELF is only one of two

publicly traded companies that is not changing their DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) policy and that ELF is run by a workforce that is “78% women and 44% people of color”???

Here is a fabulous press release about this makeup company based in California and how their “Don’t be a dick” campaign highlights their brand of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).
