I've been a little under the weather, so I haven't been exercising everyday like I wanted to, but I'm feeling better today so I decided to give the first day of Insanity a try! Holy crap! I'm amazed I was able to finish it all! I actually felt really good when I finished it; like I had accomplished something! We'll see if I can actually keep up with it. I'm guessing it will take me more than 60 days!
After my workout, I decided to try a special polish: "10 Below", a limited edition "Foil Look" set from Formula X, containing a polish (10 Below) and a special base coat.
The application of this polish had a little bit of a learning curve. You start with a coat of the special base and let it dry. No problem there. Then you're supposed to use the 3-stroke technique, which I'm not really good at in the first place. I did my first coat using this technique, and the result was a streaky, globby mess. I was totally ready to return this to the store. But I decided to do a second coat using my regular technique, which is sort of the 3-stroke, plus a few strokes to smooth everything out. This worked MUCH better. I was worried the polish would drag when I went back over it, but it didn't at all! The result is this nice chrome finish. The box that this set came in says it's a "one night look", so I'm guessing it'll start chipping pretty soon. But I think it's a fun look for a night out!
Formula X can be found at all Sephoras, as well as on their website.
Thanks for reading!
Ooooh I really like the foil finish!
