Textured Polish from Sally Hansen

I picked up two new polishes yesterday and had to try them both out right away! Sally Hansen has come out with a collection of textured polishes: Sugar Coat and Fuzzy Coat.  I decided to give Sugar Coat a try.  I chose "Bubble Plum" because it is beautiful purple/pink shade.  I also bought a new Xtreme Wear polish from Sally Hansen called "Perfect Pear-ing".  It is a gorgeous shade of green that I am absolutely in love with.
I started with a base coat of "Perfect Pear-ing".  I tried my best to photograph the colour exactly how it is in person but I didn't quite get it.  So you'll have to take my word that it's even more beautiful in person.
 I then used page hole protectors to tape off the bottom "half moon" of each nail.  I cut each circle in half to get them to stick to my nails better.
I then added a layer of Sugar Coat over top of the green.  After letting it dry for 30 seconds or so, I removed the stickers.
I wasn't a big fan of the raw edge that was left behind.  It just felt unfinished.  I decided to add small white dots (Sally Hansen's "White On") along the edge.  I like the Sugar Coat polish because it's a simple way to add interest to your nails with a simple stroke of the brush (easy peasy!).
Overall, I'm really happy with the colour combination and my new polishes.  I just feel like the design is still missing something.  What do you guys think?

Happy Painting!

Love, Kate xo
