Opi Anti-Bleak. Did not choose just on the title but it’s fitting for this week, and happens to coordinate with my book. Love that colour and I so enjoyed City of Girls. It really was a great read.

Whoops [mention]snowyowl [/mention] Maybe the hot water trick works better with non-acetone remover? My theory is that it has something to do with putting a bunch of aquaphor on my fingers to try to protect them because I have dry skin. I think I overdid it, and all the substances floating around in there just combined in a weird way. My nails are almost complete clean now, so we are getting there 😂

I have a bunch of Olive and June that just don’t work for me. Anyone interested? How much? DD2 has gotten really into doing her nails and I feel better about her using Olive and June over some of the other brands.

My nails are splits-vile though, so it’s entirely possible it’s me. I love the brand and the concept. If you feel comfortable, send me a PM, I’ll divy them up.

That’s ok, sounds like her little one will make good use of it! I’ve bought pretty much all the colors I like anyway because I have no impulse control.

I got a few new polishes from Lights Lacquer and played around with some striping tape. The blue polish is I'll Be Home and the glitter is Fuzzy Socks. I'm super impressed with the polishes so far!

That blue. Blue polish is my absolute fave. The finish on this polish is matte and it's seriously so perfect.

i’ll just be over here simping laurenbee ’s cuticles Thank you! My newfound nail polish addiction helped me finally break my cuticle biting habit that I had been trying to break for years. I also use the cuticle remover pen from Glisten and Glow and it's really easy to use. sakura, Thank you sooooo much!

I couldn’t decide what to do. This is what I wound up with. I’ve had the blue-ish color forever and never used it before.

I looked this up and it said “ Apply generously to the cuticle area and let sit for 60 seconds. Next, gently push back with your favorite tool.” What tool do you use? Like the #1 reason I miss professional manis are for cuticle care. But if could get mine to be like yours at home, omg. and how do you maintain your nail shape? Filing?

I looked this up and it said “ Apply generously to the cuticle area and let sit for 60 seconds. Next, gently push back with your favorite tool.” What tool do you use? Like the #1 reason I miss professional manis are for cuticle care. But if could get mine to be like yours at home, omg. and how do you maintain your nail shape? Filing? I used to just use an orange stick to push my cuticles back and it worked pretty well. However, I recently got a cuticle pusher tool in a kit from Amazon and I really liked it! I think it worked a bit better than the orange stick. It's like the tool with the little hollow triangle on the end in this set. (Hopefully that link works. I've never linked anything on here before.) To shape my nails, I use a glass nail file, also from Amazon. Honestly it's taken SO much time to learn how to shape them right so they're all even, and even after almost a year it's still a learning process since each nail bed is shaped differently and the nails all have a different curve. A glass file works so much better than a regular file, imo. You avoid getting all those jagged, uneven edges and it's a much more pleasant experience. ETA: Also, cuticle oil is a must! Put it on before and after filing, and several times throughout the day and it really helps.

I use Ella and Mila pretty regularly. It’s wear time isn’t bad for me. I loved the wear time on the tenoverten that H got me for Christmas.

I wanted a winter neutral and was just going to do a sparkly accent nail. Then I couldn't stop myself. I can't be trusted around glitter... Color Street Himalayan Salt + Tiny & Shiny
