My cam is horrid in these pics so excuse that..never thought I'd be posting them lol. Just like keeping up with colors I used >.< 9/10 times I go for pinks since they're my fave.

Haha, tried to match it with my lips. Pfft.




Yellow!


Um, I won a free smoothie.


Pink w/ Black snake skin pattern


A deep burgundy-ish wine color


Tehe, I let my baby cousin paint my nails so excuse the sloppy job...I love the green color, though!


Cute sneaks


I'm standing on the deck, yo.

Think I'm going to start experimenting with patterns and ombres. I tend to stick with a plain coat.

i love nail polish, but i can never grow my nails long enough. for one i wear gloves at work and my natural nails grow in really thin. i don't like artificial nails cuz they damage my nails too much, so i'm just outta luck

my sister has these perfect nails, it always looks like she has a manicure, so jealous

MissK

@Six
Great drop girl, thanks!!! I knew you had some great looks-let me get those sneaks! I need that green as well, lol
Pinks and reds are my favorites as well but I will try anything once. I have some nail plates that you can make your own designs-makes it very easy to do. I love the ombre look but have not tried it.

@kai
I used to work at a hospital and was always in water-my nails suffered so I feel you. Artificial nails feel heavy on my fingers and then I end up tearing them off....really bad for the nail.

I'm obsessed with keeping my nails manicured. I stick with French tip or pinks cause I'll get really flustered if my nails clash with my outfit color :- /

I looooove nail polish, I change my color every few days. My collection is starting to get crazy, I want one of those nail polish containers...

MrsWest

I am a nail polish fiend. I have acrylics but I always re-paint my nails 2 days (sometimes less) after I leave the salon. I just did French with a pinkish opi (I think it's called rosy future) tint on my nails and toes last night. I bought a coral color this morning I'll probably change them tomorrow. I have a ridiculous collection. I gave a lot away but I still have over 100 bottles. My ex used to tell me I have a problem. Lol

Have any of you tried the magnetic nail polish? I got a couple colors and i love it.

MissK

@MrsWest

See girl, that is why he is an ex....nail polish is not a problem! lol

Would love to see some pics of your stash.

@taeboo

I want a few of those myself. I have seen some really good ideas for nail storage out there

SixSickSins

@Britt_j Been wanting to try that magnetic polish. I love the effect.

MrMETROsexiest

loving this thread, kudos ladies

MissK

@Britt

I heard it can be difficult to use...is it?
The effect is stunning.

MrsWest

@specialk girl, it's just in clear boxes, it's a hot mess. Lol I need some storage for them I'm looking online actually. I swear 80% of my polishes are pink. I love glitter too but sometimes that sucks. I did this really cute design with a pink Essie glitter and it took a week to get the glitter completely off. Anybody have tips for that?

I do my French tips freehand and clean it up with q tips they come out really good. Wish I could post a pic on my phone.

MissK

@MrsWest

I love some glitter as well but I agree it can be a pain!!

This helps or a variation of this process

Oops.....was expecting something else in this thread so I shall carry on with my day carry on.

MrsWest

Thanks I'll try that!

Btw my friend used that magnetic polish and she had to do each nail one at a time. They looked cute, but she had chipping the very next day. She was pissed.

MissK

You're welcome, I hope it helps a bit!

@cain

just what were you expecting from a nail fanatic thread?!

Britt_J

Yes, you have to put one coat on all nails, then, one by one, you have to hold the magnet over your nail. The polish has to be really wet for it to work. Also I first tried it with some cheap brand and it barely worked and all my nails were chipped the next day. The best brand so far has been from sephora.

@kat me and my daughters do nails every Tuesday night while we watch pretty little liars. Lol I'm not great at designs but I'll do one nail in glitter or rainbow nails for them a lot. They love it.

taeboo

Has anyone tried the gel nail polish at home? I've gotten it done at the salon, but it was a pain to get off. I'm wondering is it the same with the at home products....

@taeboo

I have the UV lamp to cure the shellac nail polish. The process is fairly easy. I am impatient about taking it off and found that if I pick at it, it will pretty much come up in one piece, lol. Do you soak the color off?

Not as good as the salon but I could probably do better if I practiced more. The only reason I don't use it more is because I tend to switch my colors a lot and that defeats the whole purpose of gel/shellac polish.

@kat

Are her nailbeds really small? The nail plates I mentioned are fun and easy but the designs may be too big for her nail....

MsSouthern

I am obsessed with keeping my nails and toes done

I had to miss my appointment this week cause of stupid trial and can't get in until Friday.


This summer I've done alot of pinks. Hot pink, bubble gum pink, floresent pink, Barbie pink etc. Can't get too flashy cause of work though.

I will get a design on my toes sometimes.
