Hi, can I go here? I love pretty nails more than life itself and this thread makes me finally want to take the leap to stop lurking and start posting (if I can figure out tapatalk, that is.) Feel free to ask me anything and here's a pic of my last mani, winter white + a little sparkle ✨ Pretty! Happy you're joining us!

tj I did not. My SIL did them for me. I watch her kids and she did my nails so fancy. She’s pretty artistic.

I'm annoyed the pink is so streaky, but otherwise I like it.

I really love Olive and June colors, but damn their formulas need work 🙄 Looked down at my right hand this morning and both glitter nails were fully bare. Not chipped, gone. This mani only had to last a couple days, come on!

There are two glittery nails shaped objects in my home or workplace I assume 😂 Not sure what I was doing that completely removed my nail polish without me noticing.

This reminds me of one of the first gel manicures, years ago. Two days later I was draining hot pasta and when the steam hit my fingers the polish popped right off my nails.

I’m not sure what other people’s experiences are, but of all the brand I’ve tried, Butter London has been the longest lasting for me. I’m on day 5 and no chips! It’s spendy, but worth it.
The others - Essie, OPI, and Orly — all chip in about 3 days.
I think Santa is bringing me a Zoya polish, so I’m curious to see how that brand holds up.

Thanks! It's color street Swiss and Tell. I just started using their strips and like them quite a bit so far bc I'm hopeless at painting my own nails and I'm not going to the salon for gel like I normally would because of covid, so the CS strips are getting me through haha.

I’m going to the nail salon on Monday and I still have no idea what I want to do. Would silver nails with a shimmer red accent nail look good? Or gaudy? I prefer gold with red. If you want to do silver as the main color, I think it looks good with blue or white.

But I dont think I could do all gold either. Lol I'm super into green right now, what about that with either gold or silver?
