Cuz the world needs another blog about nails right??

so obviously the world needs another nail polish blog. i mean, there are only like a million of them. why the heck not. well, here goes it. now there is a million and one. on my blog you will find the same boring reviews and swatches, maybe some DIY for you nail art lovers and of course, any and all info that i can find about new lines and collections. but there will be one little difference. see, my name is cara crass. and it fits quite well. i mean, im kinda a :B-word:. so why not. my plan is to give you my real thoughts on whatever polishes i try, not some watered down pansy wansy :meh: comments as some blogs have. so- here goes- my first post.



i am a big fan of sally hansen for OH SO MANY reasons. one, it is sold at rite aid, and im from a very small town and this is about all i have access to. two, there are a large variety of colours, and as you will find out in the future i LOVE colour. three, they are cheap- and in this day and age who doesnt like that? and four, usually the formula is wonderful.

well here is my review on this colour/collection. i bought a couple of the sally hansen "salon manicure" bottles because i liked the colours. they are a bit more expensive (10.50$ instead of about 5$) but i figured, what the heck. well, last night i used this colour. its called "pat on the black". it is a very deep purple which actually reminds me a bit of OPIs "linkin park after dark". now, i do LOVE this colour. and how could you not. the almost black with just a hint of grape juice colouring. unfortunately, i hate everything else about it. the brush is short, thick and stiff. and the formula is very thick and hard to work with. i got a glob at the beginning which spread out thin real quick and completely uneven. it took three coats to achieve the photo above, and while i am in love with the end results, it wasnt worth the 10$ and there are other brands that are very similar.
