Formula X Challenge

Like many other beauty obsessed bloggers, I have a crap ton of nail polish.

But that doesn’t stop me from buying more.

So, when I have complimentary nail polish sent to me for being Sephora VIB Rouge, I get really excited and it pretty much makes my day. Yay, perks!

Formula X System

Super pumped to try the Formula X Challenge, I couldn’t wait to give myself a mani.

They had me falling in love (especially with the nail cleanser, which essentially preps your nails to be painted and helps the polish adhere and last longer), until the final step…

The top coat was extremely thick, sticky and not easy to apply at all. While not totally awful, I was not a fan.

I’d had such high hopes…

Formula X  in Fahrenheit

I’m not ready to write Formula X off just yet, so I do plan to go to Sephora and give the top coat another chance, (I’m hoping that I just got a bad bottle) and until then still use the rest of the system.

Have you tried the Formula X System? Thoughts?

Mani and a Magazine: Plus a Pedi

Today actually hit the 70s! In Vermont, that’s a BIG freakin’ deal! So of course sandals are a must and that means one thing: PEDICURE!

Even though I’m super excited that the weather is nice, I have to be realistic. I know the temperatures will dip again, so I didn’t go too fancy with my feet, but my life needed a little perfection in it so, I went with Formula X for Sephora in Perfection.

For my mani I wanted to embrace spring and love A Crewed Interest by Essie, it’s one of my absolute favorites and just really reminds me of spring.

Still haven’t gotten my first official pedi of the season but when I do, you’ll know! Anyone else rockin’ sandals yet?
