Sally Hansen Cocktail Party

The past few days I've been filing my nails several times to a day to get them this short. It has been a painful process. As I type this the skin under my nails touch the keys and it is a very uncomfortable sensation that is hard to describe.

Why do this? I got fed up with not being able to do the simplest of tasks like picking up a bobby pin. I stabbed my eye the other day too. It was those pesky sharp corners I always kept! I like my nails super square, it suits the way they grow and photograph well. But in my real life they are a nuisance. Don't worry I will go square again soon. Didn't you know it's hip to be square?

I went to CVS to check out the 75% off cosmetics sale, I got there late so I had to settle for the scraps lol. There was a ton of SH polishes 1/2 off tho, even the older HD ones! Anyway I only got 1 SH and it was Cocktail Party. I'm so drawn to the darker colors in the store. I put this on and I thought it looked just like my favorite red jelly, Jane Hot Blooded.


Well well well, what do you know it's pretty much a dupe. I needed 3 coats of Cocktail Party and only 2 of Hot Blooded. Oh hey you know what's nice about nubbins? You don't have to worry about nail line lol.

Just the thumb is Hot Blooded. I think they're trying to ditch these square bottles so grab a bottle at your local drugstore quick!

  1. I think they're getting rid of them too, and I like square bottles! Shame, really. Not overly fond of the new "complete formula" bottle and brush! :(
    Well, your nails look super cute that length! I like my nails pretty square too, when I remember to file them, I'm with you. Do your nails grow super quick?
    This is a hot shade for short nails! Really pretty.

  5. I prefer my nails short and square because they curl when long.

  8. I know what you mean about the uncomfortable sensation of the skin under your nails touching things. I get that everytime I lose my really long nails.

  9. Your short nails look fab with these reds. I love them! Not a real fan of vamps/dark colours on long talons myself so thinking your nails now look uber cool!

  12. I think your nails look great either way. I always used to have long nails but now that I type alot for work the shorter length works better. I can relate to the poking yourself. I rolled over in bed one night and stabbed myself in the cheek and in the morning I had a good scratch. Ouch!

  16. Your nails look beautiful in that shade. There's always that one shade that looks extra special and I think this is the one for you. Maybe that's why you like it so much.
