Scratch "Lazy Pandas" nail wraps over NCLA nail polish in "Sweet Baby"

Hey there, everyone!

I'm finally able to take a moment to put a new post together for you. I did my nails right before bed last night, and just love how this mani came out. I decided to paint on a couple coats of Steph Stone's NCLA collab nail polish in "Sweet Baby" and layer some super cute panda bear nail wraps from Scratch on top. Check out the pics below! 

Cute, right? The nail wraps worked great as usual, but it had been a while since I've used an NCLA nail polish. I was happy to see how quickly each coat dried, and that I didn't have to wait too long to apply the nail wraps over it. I like to give the polish at least fifteen minutes to dry, but sometimes it can take a bit longer. The last thing you want is for the nail polish to smudge while you're applying nail wraps on top, so giving it a bit of time to dry is key. Follow up with a thin coat of top coat, and you're all set. 

So, what do you think about this look? I definitely plan on wearing this for a few days. See ya next time! :)

NCLA with Steph Stone "Cute A.F." nail wraps

Hi!

I am finally getting around to writing a new post! This is a very busy time of the year at work, but it's probably better to keep moving than otherwise. Luckily, I've still been able to get in a mani every once in a while, and get a pic or two up on Instagram. Here we go...


So as you all know, I love nail wraps, but tend to stay away from the kind that are not made of nail polish. There's something about the sticker kind that do not cooperate with curved nail beds like mine; they wrinkle up on the sides, and don't lay completely flat (no bueno!). I did give a set of NCLA nail wraps a second try a while back, and it seemed like there was some hope with them. I just love the designs that this brand has, and if applied successfully, they make for an amazing look on the nail after a coat of your favorite shiny top coat. I took advantage of a "Just Because" sale that NCLA was offering over the weekend, and decided to grab Stephanie Stone's "Cute A.F." nail wraps, which have been on my wish list for weeks. Check out the pics below! :)

When I first used NCLA nailw wraps a couple of years ago, the wraps were a little on the thick side, and not very pliable. I'm happy to see that they have made an improvement with the flexibility so that people with curved nail beds can wear them much easier now! Out of all of the nail wraps that I've tried that are not made of nail polish, I would say that the NCLA kind are the most curved nail bed-friendly out there.

Thanks for checking out this post! See ya next time :)
