I don't know what my deal is, but I'm just hating everything I did for like the past week. I ordered a bunch of different nail vinyls from Ali Express, so I decided to give them a try last weekend.
First of all, they were super cheap at $1.44 a sheet. I bought 8 different designs from this seller. I see now they are $1.80 per sheet. I haven't looked, but it wouldn't surprise me if someone else had them for less over there somewhere.
The quality of the sheets is pretty damn good. I only used three from the sheet to do all ten of my nails.
So it isn't the fault of the vinyls that this mani is crap.

I started with two coats of the very light pink, Fresh Paint Blank Space. Once that was dry and topcoated, I placed a vinyl and sponged on Different Dimensions Coral Rose. I then used an eye shadow applicator to fill in the small spot with OPI DS Signature.
It just turned out kind of jumbled mess. Maybe I was tired; mabes I was just doing sloppy work. I don't know. I have no excuse. I was embarrassed wearing it out to dinner with the fam on Easter Sunday and was happy nobody made a comment.
The clerk at the grocery store loved it, though. I thanked her and went on my merry way back home to remove it.
Bottom line, Ali Express vinyls are a win at a great price. And I received them in 13 days, which isn't too shabby.
I should probably stay off of that website. It makes me want to buy ALL of the nail stuff!
