BB Couture - Lazy Bum



I was feeling like wearing a brown since my hands and arms are tan from all the outside work I have been doing. My first choice is always BB Couture Rustler. However, I haven't tried all the BBC Sinfully Polished collection. I really like this color. I had to apply three coats to get it even. I waited five to ten minutes beteen coats. The second coat still produced drag marks. It may just be me pressing too hard. Even after the top coat, I am not happy with the job I did. The test will be if I have the same trouble doing the right hand. If so, I will tend to blame the polish. After a disaster, I normally will go back to one of my favorites like My Private Jet to make sure it's not me. I never have any problems with MPJ. It has been six hours since doing my left hand, now we will see how it goes with the right. I am pretty ambidextrous and I write or draw with my left hand, so any problems with the right won't be from polishing with the left.

My final opinion on this polish is that it requires more skill than I currently have for a professional looking polish application. I was going to wear it tomorrow, but I think it will just annoy me every time I look at my nails. Only one thing bothers me more than chipped nails and that is application that looks like you let your toddler do it.

    1. I did white tiger stripes over Rustler one time. The contrast between the white and the brown seemed to busy. I'd like to see a picture of the white checker board design.

    1. Your right, It would be good for any work environment. It has a very slight hint of purple in the brown that kind of makes it a softer prettier light brown.

  5. I'm not usually a fan of browns, but I love the way this looks! I haven't bought any BB polishes yet-- I think I'm going to have to!

    1. I am glad you like the color. I like it better on the nail than in the bottle. I am sure you would have no problem with the application. BB Couture makes some really unique colors.

  6. ow! you started to paint your nails now, and i love it! you need to try applying a matte top coat on your nails too, only matte top coat huh, no need to apply a base color, just matte top coat, it will make your nails look clean, i think matte top coat is best for men :)

    1. That's why I have purchased some Manglaze polishes since they are matte. I tried a matte topcoat by BB Couture and wasn't happy with the finish. I may have to give it a second try. Polish is addicting, now I have been doing my nails sometimes. It is fun to be different. You only live once, I decided I should do what makes me happy.
