Loving Nic's Sticks!!

[Makeup Emporium]

I am in love with Nic's Sticks by OPI. I just bought it for the first time today on a friend's rec and LOVE it!

I am currently wearing Carpool Mama which is a great berry red colour. It took about 3 minutes to do my nails and I only needed one coat. We'll see how it wears and how easily it chips but so far it is great. Super easy to use with the pen like applicator.

It was on special so I picked it up for only $5.99 so def worth a try. Anyone else liking this? I'm interested to hear from others about their thoughts.

I had purchased Baby Go Bye-Bye a while ago and never got it to work right. The brush was awful and the formula seemed streaky and chunky.

It is such a neat idea, so I was pretty bummed out. Maybe someday I'll pick up another one to see if it was a fluke, but for now I'll be sticking with bottled nail polishes.

What are the advantages to regular np?

I think that they are a neat idea, but I hated them. I tried one and it was streaky and messy and not worth it in comparison to regular nail polish to me. I much prefer using my OPI wide brush (which works well for my fingers).

I find it much easier to use especially when painting my right hand with my left (I am right handed). It's long like a small pen so much easier to handle than a short fat nail polish lid with brush IMO.

I am surprised that some others had issues with it as for me it went on smooth and easy with no mess the first time I tried it. One coat and I was done. Fingers and toes all done in record time. I guess to each their own but I found it so easy.
