Over 12 years ago I decided to go natural purely for financial reasons. I was getting married and buying a new home and a bush cut was simple, cheap and easy.

I got a clear, silver glitter called Kaleidoscope and a coral color called Dreamy Poppy. I’ve also been on the search for a new fast drying top coat. While I love Seche Vite, I just couldn’t get over the fact that it would chip after one day. “Ain’t nobody got time for that!” So I decided to try Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dray Anti-Chip Top Coat. It worked great and I’ve been rocking this mani for a few days and no chips! Winning!!!
