I didn't notice it was the same combo Sheena used. That's even stranger. We humans sure do have wierd bodies. laugh out loud
yeah - i've had trouble with certain brands and orly bonder since i got it (tho it worked pretty well with ELF polish i think!) so i was surprised when sheena said she got good results from it. (post here - i had to search for it to make sure i didn't remember wrong) so i am thinking it's just me now.

else, it's the top coat, bc she didn't use a top coat. (i don't like doing that tho bc i tend to accidentally swipe my nail against a lot of things, which leaves colored marks if i don't have a top coat on. so i always do top coat now to avoid this. plus, seche vite helps it dry faster.)

made me think if i have a beautyfix order that needs cancelling. i don't think i did ever push through ordering from them because you don't see before checkout if your code is going to be applied.
They actually changed it! Now, you can see the code applying before checking. and if you take 2 surveys, you get a code good for $25 off $50 on dermstore. It combines with the mag rebates. I order beautyfix every so often. I think I've gotten about 3 kits and have loved them all.

oOoo i have never heard of this technique! what did you use? (base, np, and top coat?)

also, i can't believe the skindinavia and UD sprays are different! have you compared the ingredient list? that's nuts. i always assumed they were the same (that would make sense, right? Coverlaugh)

keep in mind tho that the same combo worked for sheena for a really long time. so it could be my nail chemistry and orly bonder not liking each other. Dontknow
Skindinavia has several different forumlas so I'm guessing UD worked with them to make their own 3 different formulas. It's been awhile since I used the Skindinavia one so I can't be any more specific, I just remember the finish was different so I kept buying UD All Nighter after I ran out! I don't know if it was more moisturizing, but it was definitely shinier. The spray nozzle kept getting a few bigger drops on my forehead and after it dried, I would be able to see where the drops were, lol.

The nail combo I'm wearing right now is Orly Bonder, Hard Candy Beetle polish, and Seche Vite top coat. I had almost totally given up on this polish because I could never get it to stick, so I'm happy! Apparently it works with any sticky base coat like CND, Orly, Zoya Anchor, etc...but the warning was that like, CND Stickey is green tinted so over light colored polishes it might mess up the color.

Now when I tried to place order it says Offer code LOVELACIE has not been applied to your order. Offer code LOVELACIE cannot be used with SHOPVSBRA together on the same order Sadwalk
That sucks! It worked this morning and last night. Shoulda placed an order sooner! Oh well, they'll just have to wait for when I use my SRC.

Their makeup spray is made my skindinavia. If you go to beautyfix.com (through dermstore), you can get the skindinavia spray (which I think is the same thing...i've used both and can't tell the difference) and 7 other products for $19.99 using code BFBLOG. I think those beautyfix boxes are great deals, and I ususally order one when my setting spray wears out.

Something to consider. Just don't forget to cancel. I've never had problems canceling before.
idk what else to order? any suggestions?

I'm probably due for within the next couple weeks. I really liked their Nick Chavez hairspray, which they don't have anymore. This primer is $90 on dermstore LaRocca Skincare C-Gold Reparative Primer. The angel drops are another favorite product of mine. A little goes a LONG way. I use those and the sedu serum. I do sedu serum before blowdrying my hair and 2 angel drops to smooth it after flat ironing (and my hair is almost to my elbows). I also like the Chella enzyme mask (and think Anni does, too). I'm also thinking about the lisa hoffman serum, but I'm obsessed with the Ole truth serum. I wasn't a huge fan of the jonathan create straight gel, but I don't usually use gel. The Jonathan serum was nice, too, but I liked the angel drops more, and those things last forever.

Hope that helps.

Incredible push-up in soft nude/smokey plum foil lace is super pretty. Got that as one of my free ones. Unforgettable push-up in pink leopard embellished is also pretty--that was my double-dip free one.
Thanks for the suggestions. Do either of these add a lot of cleavage? I was hesitant to buy the Very Sexy Pushup, because I definitely don't need to add volume. The print was so pretty I ordered it anyway. I hope it doesn't add a lot of cleavage. I'm already a DD & have to be careful to choose tops that don't make them jump out & grab you. laugh out loud

The base & top coats may be incompatible. Applying polish shouldn't be so complicated. Crazy

LMAO My DS liked me to sing Hush Little Baby. http://www.ivillage.com/hush-litt...6-a-127604 I substituted Mama for Papa.

Do they ever question you ordering then cancelling more than once? I'm afraid they'd know & question me about it. I could change the email addy & phone number, but not the name, address, & CC.

I may try Hard Candy polish then. So far, CND Toughen Up has been horrible. The polishes I've tried don't stick to it at all. It may work with that polish though.

They do add some, but it's hard for me to say since I'm a B and need all the help I can get!

I only have one Hard Candy polish and until now I hated it because it chipped so easily. LOVE the color though so if all it takes is putting base coat in between each layer, then I am stoked!

I always change my name (or order under a different address. I guess I don't care enough about makeup setting spray to know the difference. I had two small bottles of the UD one and used them when I was traveling. I use the skindinavia one from dermstore all the time. I love it...but I guess I'm not concerned about finish as just setting power.
