Sation Nail Lacquer "Love at First Byte" Review


I'm starting to find more time for my reviews so expect a lot more to come in the near future! 

A couple of months ago, I received a bottle of Sation Nail Lacquer in "Love At First Byte" from Ipsy. From first look, I wasn't too excited about the color. I like to wear bright or pastel colors. Nude nail polishes aren't really my thing. Unless I'm trying to look a little more professional, which was when I decided to try this out :) I saw this color on Amazon for $3.40 if any of you are interested in trying it out. 

As soon as I started to take the brush out of the bottle, I noticed how thin the polish was. Did any of you have that problem when you put it on? I've never used Sation nail lacquer before so I wasn't sure if that was normal for their polishes. 

It wasn't even noticeable after one application. It took 4 coats to get the coverage that I have in this picture. If you look at the bottom 2 fingers, you can still see my tips through the polish. I probably should have gone with 5 coats but I thought that was a little excessive. 

My overall experience with Sation was pretty negative. The price is great and totally affordable but the coverage was really poor. I wouldn't buy another bottle of their polish based on how this polish turned out. I might give them another shot one day, it would have to be a darker color though. They just need to make their nude shades with a thicker formula for more coverage. It was really easy to take off with some nail polish remover.

    The colour is good with your skintone, but 4 coats is way too much work. I've never tried this brand myself.

      I agree, it does match my skin color very well! I just think that 5 coats of a polish is WAY too much

    i have heard that sation seems to be sheer in all the colours i've seen reviewed, which is just too annoying for me to ever want to try the brand :(

    I've never tried this brand - what a waste of $$ and time. How dumb to water their product down like that. thanks for taking the courage to post how it was for you.

    Most of their polishes I have found are not watered down or sheer. I've been quite pleased. However, the lighter toned polishes do require more coats. I haven't found this to be true with the darker colors. 2 coats and I'm done.

If you have a bunch of clothes that you don't wear, then Poshmark is the best thing for you. Poshmark is an app on iPod, iPad and iPhone products. The app lets you post pictures of clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc. that you don't wear anymore. The items can be new with tags, new without tags and lightly worn (just don't try to post your old t-shirt with that pizza stain on it, I can promise you that nobody will buy it). Poshmark is a free application that you can get in the iTunes app store. As of right now, you cannot get the website on your computer. Unless, you have already signed up for an account on an iPad, iPod or iPhone. I signed up for Poshmark about a month and a half ago. Since then, I have sold over $3000 worth of stuff that I don't use anymore. I've sold shoes, jewelry, shirts, pants, sweaters, etc. The app is mostly geared towards women's and girl's/teen's items. Although, I have seen many people post men's and children's items. Th

Diamond Candles vs Prize Candles

Image
This week I'm trying a different type of post! Since I love subscription boxes, that means that I love surprises. So, of course I would love to try out surprise candles! I wanted to see which type of ring candle was better,  Diamond Candle  or  Prize Candle .  I got both candles in 2 different scents,  Prize Candle  was Blue Cypress and  Diamond Candle  was Be Mine (smells like wild berries, amber and roses). Each of the candles cost $25 a piece. Although,  Prize Candle  offers $10 your first purchase and  Diamond Candle  offers free shipping on orders $45 or more.  Inside both companies candles, there is a ring worth $10-$5,000.  First, the shipping. I ordered both candles the same night, within 15 minutes of each other.  Prize Candle  came 2 days before  Diamond Candle  did. My  Prize Candle  came pretty dirty though, I had to clean off the glass container because in had candle wax all over the sides. My  Diamond Candle  came in perfect condition thou

Giveaway!

Hey Everyone! So it was really hard for me to decide which subscription box to give you all a giveaway for. Most of you said that you wanted to enter a drawing for  Glossybox . So I was going to make the prize a 3-month subscription to Glossybox . But then I thought, well what if the winner wants something different? So I am going to leave the prize open-ended for you guys. The Prize: The winner gets to choose what they want. It can be anything that has up to a $60 value (since a 3-month subscription to Glossybox costs around $60). So that means that the winner can get a 3-month subscription to  Julep ,  Glossybox  etc. Or a 6-month subscription to Ipsy , Birchbox , etc. It doesn't even have to be a subscription to a subscription-box! It could be a $60 gift card to Target, Sephora, Gap, Visa, etc. Or even an item(s) that you've been eyeing for months but just haven't gotten around to buying. Seriously, it can ANYTHING that you choose with a value of up to $60! So what
