Quick Fix It for Sheet Marks + Haul!

So when I put on Essie Sand Tropaz (second time wearing, and no swatches, darn!) I tried a different topcoat than my usual Seche Vite. I let it dry for an hour (maybe longer, I swearz) which I thought it was long enough, and then went to bed. And this happened ...

Essie Sand Tropaz (with sheet marks!)

Dang sheet marks. I was so bummed when I woke up. I KNEW I should have taken pictures beforehand but I was too tired. And I ruined it. I wore it anyway, haha. It wasn't too noticeable.

But there's something fun that I found out. I may be the last to figure it out, but a flakey topcoat on marked up nail polish makes it look brand new! You can't tell it was smudged and marked up. It smoothed everything out!

I don't know if they're thicker than regular topcoat or the flakies camouflage any unevenness but I couldn't even tell anything was wrong with the polish underneath. 

Have you guys ever noticed this? Any other fixes for screwed up manis?

And a sneak peek at a haul from this weekend ... I was having a bad week so what better way to fix it than retail therapy? =) I think I'm single handedly helping the economy. Haha

A few Essie, because there was a coupon ...

Look what they started carrying at my local Walgreen's...

Yep, another Whimsical. I found two, again, at the same store! I feel like I'm stocking up on them! What to do with them, what to do ...

Oh yes, that's Cinderella you see! Only one left!

I started using the Hard As Hoofs yesterday, so we'll see how it goes. Nice haul if you ask me. I'm excited about all my goodies!
