Wanting to have a work-appropriate polish that was slightly different than those Trip-Bs (Band-Aid But Better), I reached for a polish I hadn’t worn before: Sally Hansen’s Pink Promise.
But I wasn’t really feeling it. This is two coats, and you can see that while it does make a slight (but only slight) difference in terms of color, it also becomes highly reflective – look at my top nails in the photos above. In an attempt to tone it down a bit, I added one layer of OPI’s Breathe Life, but even that didn’t help, so I decided to use Nail Tek to tone it down.
It didn’t work.
As such, I left one hand with the Nail Tek, the other without, since I was going to be removing it straightaway, anyway.
(In case you’re having a hard time deciding, it’s the bottom picture that’s matted.)
So, this is why I don’t franken. I don’t really much care for it, but it was fun to experiment, at any rate!
