20I2 Cherimoya Cracked Nail Polish Savior Review and Swatches

This post has been long overdue; I wanted to post it last month but somehow I just wasn't up to it and kept postponing it. Anywho, am glad I'm finally doing it and letting you know how this affordable cracked nail polish by 20I2 Cherimoya has been working for me. 


It's really nice when cracked nail polish bottles come with the cracked design on them, easier to identify when you're browsing through tons of beauty aisles. Usually, with other polishes, the caps show the cracked design but with this brand it's different and though I don't really mind, it would have been better if they'd gone with the flow.


The brush is pretty much your average nail polish brush, nothing fancy. The nail polish is an oil-based formula, as shown on the bottle, and hence looks a little goopy and thick but while applying it, it goes on smoothly. All you need is a little amount of polish and a single coat to get a good cracked effect. I applied it on top of my Wet n Wild MegaLast Nail Color in I need a Refresh-Mint and this is how it looks.


This is my first cracked nail polish and I can't say I'm not pleased with the effect. It dries matte which was a pleasant surprise for me. I just tried two coats on my thumb to get an idea of how it'd look and I hated it; never try two coats with crackle polishes.


The polish lasts for 2-3 days tops before starting to chip off.  All in all, it's a nice affordable crackle polish, and there are a lot of nice colors available to choose from. They cost $2.99 at Walgreens. This is a super fun and easy to use nail polish. The crackle effect almost looks like I went to a salon to get some fancy design by a nail artist. I want to try crackle polishes from other brands as well.

Has anyone else tried out this brand of cracked polish? Let me know about your experience.

Some Recent Regret Buys

In my opinion, it's not ethical blogging if we're only featuring the good and not talking about some bad products because let's face it, there are a lot of crappy products out there. And when we're not talking about them we're withholding important information and we're not being fair to our readers. In fact, it means we're being fairer to brands. It's fine if people want to earn some money through brand deals but it's really not worth it to become a sell-out. Some might say why bother writing about bad products, why not just let them be, but I want to put the word out there about bad products too because I want to help people like me save some money. Please note that when I say "bad products" it means "products that have not worked for me". However, these products might have worked very well for some others because each of us has different skin types and tolerance for products and it's totally OK. In the past few months, I t...

April 2012 Favorites and Regrets

I can't believe April has already come to an end. I can't say I'm sorry either because this means less rain, more blossoms, and summer in another month.  So without further ado, I present to you this month's beauty and makeup favorites.  As you can see there are quite a few things I've been liking this month. The list of all things beauty I've been loving/using frequently are: (in left to right order) Aussie Instant Freeze Hair Spray Extreme Hold : This product is just wow. The windy city can be brutal to hair especially when left open and this product is really a blessing. It gives a good hold without adding too much cast to the hair. You can build it up and get stronger hold if that is what you need.  It's easy to use and smells great. It's not too expensive and comes in a huge bottle. Clairol Herbal Essences Hydralicious Reconditioning Conditioner : I love this conditioner and this is a product worth repurchasing. I only wish they would put it in ...

I Got Influenced and Wasted my Money on These 15 Hyped Products

 Influencer marketing has been there forever but with more online social media platforms it has become even more crazier since the 2010s. This type of marketing trend has its good sides as we get to know about a lot of things that are introduced into the market while sitting at home. So there is no worry of missing out on anything that is good. But it is also sometimes misleading/misinforming which can not only make us waste money on worthless products but also mistrust influencers as a whole.  This post is going to be only about beauty (skincare/haircare/makeup) products that I wasted my money on. It does not mean that I mistrust influencers or that I am not going to follow influencers anymore. I have also benefited in many ways from influencers so this is not a hateful post. I only want to convey through this post that it is important to use our own judgment and not blindly follow what somebody is recommending just because they seem likable, genuine, or convincing on camera....
