China Glaze, Mainstream Mani Monday

Mainstream Mani Monday- China Glaze She’s A Mane-iac

This is China Glaze’s She’s a Mane-iac, from their 2017 My Little Pony collection. It is a gorgeous pink shimmer, but IT STAINED MY NAILS TERRIBLY!! Sorry for yelling, but nothing has ever ever stained my nails before! This stained my nails, cuticles, everything I touched hot pink!!!!  Also, I got a new light and didn’t diffuse it with tissue paper for these pictures, so there are some weird reflected light splotches on my nails.

 

But boy is it pretty! I did 3 coats, and it was an easy formula to work with.

 

 

 

I wore my typical Nailtiques 2 and Orly Bonder before I wore this, these have always worked for me and I have never had staining before- maybe some sliiiight staining with Tonic’s Lemons and Cream, but nothing like this.

 

It turned my nail beds bright pink, and I had bits of hot pink cuticles for like a week, even after doing my nails and dipping them into my scrubby tub and trying to remove the pink with acetone and my clean up brush.

 

In this close up, you can see the super pretty shimmer. If this polish didn’t stain me so badly, this would totally be in my top mainstream polishes for 2018. As it is, nope nope nopety nope.

Live your life with love in your heart and glitter on your nails!
