Oh my gosh jaidit! That color is perfect for summer!! I was sent a small yellowy-gold dip powder as a gift when I ordered my last color, and I almost threw it away, but your nails are making me think I should try it!

I keep getting ads for Ohora nails, which are apparently gel polish strips. I'm intrigued, but also I might totally hate them because I'm not a fan of having super thick nails (got dip powder once and haaaated it). Has anyone tried them?

No but I see these ads all the time too 🤣 Clearly I click on too many nail things.

Add me to the list of people falling for nail sticker ads 😛 Instagram has been advertising ManiMe nails to me, so I tried them out. I got a solid color and something more fun, figured I should start with the solid first. They have you take pictures of your nails and cut them to size. It worked ok, I send back feedback about some that were the wrong shape, but we’ll see! Whether I buy them again depends on how long they last.

snowyowl, you send them a picture and they send you pre-cut nail stickers?

snowyowl, you send them a picture and they send you pre-cut nail stickers? Yes, that’s the idea! They fit pretty well, though some were a bit big, and they let you give feedback on each individual nail. It’s not cheap. I probably wouldn’t order just a solid color again, since I can easily do that myself. But if it stays in for more than a week, I’d order some of their more elaborate designs as a replacement for a manicure.

That's the only problem i have with the ones I've been using, my nails are tiny and I end up having to trim the stickers a lot. Buy I feel like that would happen with all the brands so I'm kinda 🤷♀️

I’ve been reading along here and enjoying doing my own nails during quarantine. I started taking these multivitamins a couple weeks ago, and my nails have gotten so strong and long. Just wanted to share!

I switched up my polish to Charlie by Cadillacquer. It's a thermal which is my new obsession. I have a solar polish coming that I'm pretty excited about as well

Nothing fancy, but this is the first time I’ve done my nails since February or March. It reminds me of the ocean, which I probably won’t see in 2020.

Polish pick up (ppu) if you don't know what it is, is a monthly themed indie polish website. The Facebook group makes suggestions and votes every month on a theme and a bunch of different indie polish makers create a polish based on it. August's theme was weird science. The shop is already closed for the month of August, but next month is Halloween themed and the indie polish makers just posted their polish spoilers for sept in the Facebook group. The shop always opens on the first Friday of every month through that weekend. There's a lot of cool stuff, thermals, flakies, magnetic, glow in the dark and just all around unique polishes . I think I'm going to get these ones below in September's sale. I like supporting them because they're created by indie shops and not big corporations. The makers always post how thankful they are for the support. It makes me feel really good buying from them.

I just got the desert muse collection from Orly and I’m obsessed. It’s my boho fall dreams come to life. I’m wearing canyon clay, with Roam With Me on the middle finger.

I'd love to see them! I did not spend time on my cuticles, and I don’t have gorgeous nail beds like some of you. So don’t judge the product, that’s on me. I was too eager. The lighting isn’t doing it total justice, it’s like a reddish chocolate brown and a grey blush. The formula went on easily too. STD bonus.
