hmmm my photo doesn't show up . I'm using tapa is there a secret? Itβs showing! And thatβs the same shape I like mine. I hate that my job doesnβt let us wear nail polish. *kicks rocks*

theyd prefer we didn't-- but cant actually demand it. the polish job looks ratty on camera I see, but they look good in real life. Also, I'm not as wrinkly in person as my hands would lead you to believe

My job (if I'm ever back in the office) calls for more conservative nails, so I'm trying to get all the fun stuff out of my system before that time comes.

I used the Kida method (Orly base, color, base, color, Seche Vite) and I am loving the outcome. I still need to know her cuticle secrets, too!

You guys are so sweet! I just use cuticle oil a couple times a day and when I do my nails I use a cuticle remover to moisturize and remove the dead part.

The California Mango oil you linked a long time ago? I bought it, I just need to be more diligent about using it regularly. Maybe I'll set reminders on my phone to do it every few hours until it becomes habit...

I used to be the worst cuticle picker and even now if I have a dry piece I'll pick so I try to keep them oiled.

Do you have a certain cuticle remover you like? How do you do your cuticles before painting? Kida

After filing or whatever I put a dot on each cuticle and let it sit for about a minute. Then I use a cuticle pusher to gently push them back and to scrape any dead skin of the nail. Then I just wipe it off and paint or apply fake nails π

my acrylics are so old tho they aren't pretty underneath the paint lol ... it's basically just my natural nail with acrylic over it... endless fills, patchy layers

Ok and, ima try this photo again, BUT I do need to say that the binder, polish, ponder, polish, top has made a significant improvement to my polish longevity πππ Especially the OPI colors that I've been sorely disappointed with until now.
