Essie Sleek Sticks Nail Appliqué Review

by 7BearSarah in ,


I was in Target recently and I saw that Essie had these nail stickers (very similar to the Sally Hansen version) so I decide to pick up a few. They are $10 each so, in my book that's strike one. Sally Hansen's usually range from $7.50 to $8.50. 
As for application, they were extremely easy. But I had an issue with the adhesive on on of the stickers. It refused to stick to my index nail and so I ended up taking them all off before I could even get a picture. 
I tried them again, this time in "Sea Me Shine!" (Pictured below) 

These applied exponentially better than the other set I had and, personally I like the design much better. 


Overall, I don't think I will be purchasing these again. They are a bit expensive and I prefer the Sally Hansen version as far as longevity goes.

Have you tried these? If so, what did you think? 

Caviar Nails: Yay or Nay?

by 7BearSarah in , ,




When I was shopping with my ten year old cousin recently, we went into Claire's and we found these caviar nail sets and we were both very intrigued. I had seen these a million times before on beauty blogs and they never caught my eye. When I saw these sets on sale for buy one get one 50% off, I figured "what the hell?". Now that I have the pearls on my nails, I like the look but I don't think I would do all ten nails (but that's just my opinion). Overall, I think it's a good bargain and it is pretty fun and easy to do.


PS, the nail color I am wearing is OPI "Where is my Czech-book?" 


Have you tried this trend? What do you think?

NotD: Essie "Sunday Funday"

by 7BearSarah in , ,



"Sunday Funday" is a part of Essie's summer collection so I'm a bit late to the party on this one. I saw this at my local Target and I was immediately drawn to this color. 
Now that I'm really thinking about it, this color is not unique. It is almost an exact dupe of both OPI's "I Eat Maine-Ly Lobster" and L'Oreal's "Tangerine Crush". I wish I wasn't so impulsive due to the fact that I own both of the aforementioned polishes. 
I do recommend this color though if you want to add a pop of color to an outfit. 

Available at Target and Ulta for around $8
