NOTD: CHI Attire Not Required & Our June 10th Contest Winner



Today I'll show you one of my 2 CHI polishes, which, although I love this brand, I'm not crazy about this color. I also have one in a frosty white called Ice Queen. These wear like iron, apply well and dry at an average rate. I'd worn the Ice Queen before, but never this one I have on today. It's extremely sheer, although it does have a nice subtle gold shimmer in it. This is 4 coats...did I mention that it was sheer?!! The name, No Attire Required, probably is a reference to the fact that it is a nude, or that your nails still look almost naked even after 4 coats. CHI does make an excellent polish though, with a long-lasting finish. They can be found at some hair salons and online. I got mine at Folica.com many years ago when I ordered my Solia flat iron, which by the way, is still going strong after almost 6 years.
Hi Mary!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
Keep on blogging and thank you for your generosity!
Joanne
Congrats Joanne! (You lucky duck, you!)
ReplyDeleteWhat's the point of 4 coats of nail polish if it just looks like you put on clear?? I tell ya, these sheers really irk me sometimes - especially when they don't look sheer in the bottle. Do you think layering this over a darker color would make it show up better?
i really love the shape of your nails, very beautiful! adore your blog :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with Brooke, I think layered over a coraly pink would be nice. Nice prize, congrats Jo Anne! 6 years!!! that's crazy! I'm gonna check it out right now!
ReplyDeleteYour nails are such a nice natural shape!
ReplyDeleteI hate sheer poilshes.. i always end up trying to peel them off!
Grats Jo Anne!
ReplyDeleteThe gold shimmer is very pretty.
My flat iron is a Solia ordered from folia too! Mine is 4 years old and I still love it :D
Whoa, that's super sheer! Pretty, but very sheer. I've seen some neat Chi colors at my ULTA, nice to hear your review of them :)
ReplyDeleteWhoa! 4 coats! Yikes! I haven't tried any Chi polishes before. I've heard they're a nice brand though.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to JoAnne. Enjoy all those fantastic BB Polishes. They're are some gorgeous colors that your getting. I agree with everyone else. Boo on sheers. I need some color to show up. It does have a nice shimmer though.
ReplyDeleteJoanne~you're most welcome! Thanks for reading my blog and enjoy your polishes.
ReplyDeleteBrooke~I know, what a disappointment! I'll give layering a try and see how that looks.
Kellie~thanks for the compliment. I've tried to shape my nails differently, but I can't do it :/ so we end up with the more natural look!
Kitty~layering may be the only hope for this polish! I think I'd buy another Solia again even with all of the GHD hype and other brands. It's been a great flat iron.
Tali~thanks! I always like the squared off look on others, but I just can't seem to master filing them that way :)
Kae~glad you like the Solia too, it's a great tool.
Nicole~I'd like to try some of the creme CHI's, I'm sure they'd be prettier.
Velvet~I know, 4 coats is too many, and it could have used 3 or 4 more!
Lucy~I love the shimmer too, I just wish a base color would show up a bit.
I've seen CHI polishes at TJ Maxx a lot for like 3 bucks! I dont know if thats a deal because I dont know the normal retail value. Just wanted to let you know though...
ReplyDeleteAdorepink~thanks, I'll have to check out TJ Maxx. That is a good deal :)
