Playing with a few more Simply Sweet Polishes

From two other packs I picked up, I just swatched colors on each nail (the yellow IS NOT a Simply Sweet color, it's Maybelline Banana Puddin'):




Sorry, no photos of the packs, but they look the same as this pack I showed previously, just with different colors. Some of the colors are repeats, but I love the bottles!

.. and to make it sweeter..

SOURCE: Rub-on decals were found at Big Lots
COMMENTS: I completely forgot that I modified my manicure the next night by adding some rub-ons, a bit of shimmer, and another coat of topcoat. I'm so predictable that way - unless I have no time I'll usually add some form of nail art to my plain manicures - even if I don't find the time until days later. :)

Simply Sweet - Beige with pink accent

APPLICATION: Smooth
COATS: 2 of each
TOPCOAT?: See photos please
SOURCE: Ross Dress for Less store
COMMENTS: Unlike the previous red mani with this brand, this one stayed intact for the three days I had it on. That means my ridge filler was to blame after all. I'm liking these polishes and saw two more packs with different colors (the larger bottles) at TJ Maxx on Saturday. I'm really liking jellies for the hot summer days - especially with topcoat!


The second pack has slightly smaller square bottles:

I did an accent nail with a color from the first pack to test longevity.

Simply Sweet - Red Jelly

APPLICATION: Smooth, thick and applies like a gel.
COATS: 2
TOPCOAT?: Yes
SOURCE: Ross Dress for Less store
COMMENTS: I purchased this set about a year ago assuming it was kids polish. I normally wouldn't have gotten it, but I found the little bottles cute and planned to empty them out for frankens. They turned out to be jellies!  I've seen 3 different sets by this brand so far, has anyone else tried them?

This mani started chipping the next day, and I'm not sure if it's because I used just a ridge filler under it rather  than my usual base coat - I'll have to try another one to see.
