CPW: Fingernails

[hawkward]

I have a formal event to go to Saturday. I should do my nails, but I hate polish. It feels... suffocating? Anyway, I'll eventually polish them, but I'll whine to myself the whole time!

How are your nails done?

I used to treat myself and get shellac every three weeks or so. But then... baby, lack of time, not worth the funds, etc. I loved that hour though. Plus, our salon has complimentary wine/beer so I'd drink a glass of something delicious while being pampered. Ah, the good life LOL

ETA: Enjoy the event, hawkward!

I have fiftyleven bottles of nail polish at home that I use... never. Well, except to paint my toes which can miraculously hold onto polish for like 4 months before I have to repaint. But if I paint my fingernails, they will chip in 4 minutes. So I've been doing gel manis for the last several months (consistently) and love the look.

I really like the look of the gel polish you can do at home (Sally Hansen, I think?), I just hate the way it feels for the first day or so. I've thought about trying the Halel polish that is permeable to see if I like it better, but so far I've been too lazy to actually seek it out.

At work we can't have polish on (bc if it chips then there's an increase in germs and possible infection for the babies) so now on maternity leave I want to get ALL THE MANICURESSSSS. one month down, I've gotten one. Before they instituted that stupid rule at work, I would get biweekly manis and for awhile I did the gel manicure, but they destroy your actual nail so I stopped doing that. Then I had to stop all together. 😭 But I freakin love getting manis. That time to just relax and watch hgtv and get a mini shoulder massage... yes please!!
