Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Stickers- 'Frock Star'

Ahh Sally Hansen, how disappointing. This is Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Stickers in 'Frock Star'. 

Okay, here's the deal..I have been saving this product for MONTHS because I thought it was THE BEST thing that has happened to my life thus far.  I remember around Christmas time Selena Gomez tweeted (I know, I'm embarrassed. Don't say anything hahah) this picture of her nails and after much research I've come to believe that its Deborah Lippmann's- Happy Birthday because at this time there really wasn't many polishes that had the multi color hexagonal glitter like this.

Anyways, this was the closest thing I could find to the $18 Lippmann polish so I snatched it up (even though come to think of it $10 is not that good of a deal either).  I wanted to save it for a really special occasion so about two weeks ago Kid Cudi came to play a show at my college and I thought it would be the perfect time to wear it.  Ugh, although the show was AMAZING, these nail stickers were not. As you can see in most of my pictures they were not that sticky, peeling on the sides of the sticker.  Secondly the instructions say that you can just fold the sticker over the nail, crease it a little and then use the file they gave you and just file away the excess. Let me tell you, according to my experience that is so not true.  The stickers ripped and pealed and made the tips of my nails look horrendous.

All in all, unless I win another one of these kits or somebody just wants to give another pattern to me for some odd reason I will not be buying them ever again. EVER. Ugh Sally Hansen, how depressing =(

I have a very specific question, has anybody else tried the 'Frock Star' pattern of these nail stickers? I need to know if I'm just a spaz or do they really just not live up to the hype?

Barielle- Elle's Spell

Oh my gosh, today I got the package of polishes Accropolish sent me for our swap! I'm so excited to blog about them but you sadly will have to hold your suspense for a few more days because I am trying to get rid of my backlog.  Let me just tell you they are better than I even expected.  The score is currently Switzerland 1. USA 0 hahha.

Okay today I have for you Elle's Spell by Barielle.

Lemings alert!!! I have wanted this polish for FOREVER. I saw another blogger post about it and I could not get enough.  While home on spring break I was perusing through Ulta's clearence bins and there it was, the one lone one left. I swapped it up before I could even blink. LOVEEE. Many people said that it caught their eye so they bought it, but then when they actually tried it they didn't think it was anything special.  I totally have to disagree, this polish is amazing. I hate reds as you know, and I would wear this color on my nails for as long as I lived if I had to.

Okay, enough with the dramatics. Elle's Spell is obviously a jelly and I had to do 4ish coats to get it opaique.  This color is great because it not only looks the bright red that it is, but also in certain lights it seems this deep red/purple berry color that I absolutely adore. It has what looks like gold flakes but are actually considered multi-color flakes.  The application was not too watery/thick but applied more clear then red on the first coat, and the second two coats left you with the berry color but then with the fourth I got this great red color.  This polish usually retails for $6 at Ulta stores, and $8 when sold directly from Barielle.

I have heard that it looks like Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure flake polish but from what I've seen it really doesn't. Have any of you used Hidden Treasure before? Do you think it looks like this polish?
