The best word to describe this mani is 'frustrating'. I haven't been this irritated with a design since the Mario Mushrooms I did with the same green polish. My downfall was definitely rushing through it so I could get to bed at a reasonable hour. All in all it took about 3 hours to complete, and really, it should have been more. Instead of letting the black & silver polishes fully dry when I had the tape on, I almost immediately took the tape off and that peeled the points of the star busts off with it. I had to go back and touch a lot of it up, and even still, it didn't turn out so great. I really wanted this design to come out looking pristine because it's just so cute! But lesson learned - don't rush a cute mani.

Side note: Never use Sally Hansen Complete Manicure polishes when you are doing a light color on top of it. The silver looked fine before I put the top coat on, but after the top coat, the silver turned into a greenish-yellow (the same thing happened when I used this polish for the Mario Mushrooms). It must be the top coat that they include in the polish that discolors anything you put on top of it.
