Mushroom Flakes with Australis

I’m not usually a fan of glitter in nail polish, mostly because they are a pain to remove.

Rocking Checks with Sally Hansen Salon Effects in Mad For Plaid

Sally Hansen came up with the first nail stickers I knew. I remembered when I first saw them many months ago, I couldn’t get over how cute they were. So I bought a couple of boxes to try. Later on, I was kindly given a few more boxes to try. This was months ago. Up till last week, I haven’t even opened any of them! What’s that now? Bad beauty blogger? Yes yes I know 😉
