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.

15 Must Watch Chinese Youth Dramas That are Artistic Masterpieces

I stopped watching youth dramas (dramas usually set in high school/college backdrop) over a year ago since I felt like I was getting too old for these. I find most of them quite juvenile like I am watching the Disney channel. However, before I completely stopped, I tried watching more than 30 popular youth dramas and I had to drop most of them because they were just too mediocre, with bad writing, and bad acting/editing. But I also found some gems that were just too good and should not be missed by anyone, doesn't matter how old you are. These dramas have something more than just being a funny/silly high school/college drama. They have some kind of an x-factor to them that makes them quite unique in my opinion. Be it the story, the casting, the cinematography, the costumes, the locations/settings, etc. all together create a magical on-screen experience that I have not found in the other youth dramas that I have seen. Listed below are my top picks from the Chinese youth drama genre ...

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...

10 Popular Perfumes/Mists With The Same Scent DNA As Baccarat Rouge 540

 Baccarat Rouge 540 was launched in 2016 by the famous perfumer Maison Francis Kurkdjian. Since then it has reached a whole new level of popularity when it comes to perfumes, especially on social media. But since it is a very expensive perfume there are a lot of people like me, who cannot justify spending so much on a perfume, and who are looking for something similar that costs less. On the other hand brands that grasp the popularity also come up with perfumes that are inspired by the OG. People refer to these as dupes or smell-a-likes. It's basically a win win situation for everyone. I am personally not crazy about the scent profile that BR540 belongs to but since it is so hyped I wanted to try it out for myself. So I went to the store several times and tested it on the paper strips, on my clothes, and on my skin. And after several tries I decided that it is not really for me. It's a little too spicy and woody for my tastes. And since it is so expensive it's also not some...
