The Nail Thread

(>_>) I lose track of threads so easily now. That gold is great, Elle. That's a color that I think would make me blush (I'm weird). I like the colors you used for that design, seela. Pretty combination.

Happy place time with Hush Money.

I really like rose gold right now. My nails match my phone at the moment.

This is a pretty neutral. I love the name of it.

Same here! I always love the way they name fingernail polishes.
Pretty

Hah, my toenails are now this colour too, which is nice, but not what I had asked for

I had asked for just straight up glittery gold toenails. I wanted to try it. But... oh well. Another time.

Thanks. The name was so appealing to me that it tipped me on the fence.

That's odd considering the color difference. ;; If it helps, my toenails are also this color.

Hee, it is growing on me now.
I think it was that the nice lady doing my nails must have forgotten exactly what colour I asked for. And I am too short sighted to see it as it is applied... I didn't feel like hassling her about it though.

I did the accent nail thing again after a long break.

Sally Hansen Pep-Plum and Max Factor Silver.

I like the Pep-Plum color, but I don't like the brush. It's too long and difficult for me to maneuver with my left hand, so I've mostly been wearing it on my toes.

I've neglected this thread a bit. I've been so busy and I really haven't cared for my own nails in a while. I've painted for another, but haven't really focused on me. I did my nails recently and I did something festive for a xmas party. I'm wearing a limited edition polish called 'Sleigh My Name.' It's a pearly color with gold glitter and stars. It's bright and definitely feels like a special occasion.

Seela, I love the accent nail. I just did nails for another and made snowflakes on accent nails so that she could be festive without necessarily celebrating Christmas.

Meekme, I love that color. I've done glittery before but it always chips. Does anything help keep it on longer?

Glad you like it.

Weirdly, glitter is my worst enemy. It stays a long time and polish remover doesn't make a dent in it. What kind of base coat do you use? No matter what I use I always put a clear base down and then paint over it. Most glitter polish requires several layers to show the glitter properly. Otherwise I use a base color (I used Tokyo Pearl because it was closest to the glitter base) and only use a couple swipes of glitter. After that I use a strong top coat to seal it. It typically lasts longer than any other polishes I use. Frustratingly it's also the hardest to take off.

I've been MIA since before this thread was started.

Is there a simple treatment for nails that split in layers between the "outgrown" portion of nail? My right-hand middle and ring fingers tend to split this way, in layers, after about ten days of growth. It's very annoying, considering that's my playing hand on guitar. I need strong, solid nails. (Which tend to grow on my left hand with no troubles. Argh!)

Maybe it's the top coat? I generally use a base coat with the glitter over that.

My mom swears by something -- I'll ask her tomorrow and report back!

Collar had a great post at the beginning of this thread on peeling. http://forum.literotica.com/showpost.php?p=79948464&postcount=30
That might be helpful for you. I mentioned before that I try to moisturize my nails between painting to keep them healthy and strong. It's really sticky but my favorite is castor oil.

Could be the top coat. If you have really smooth nails (I tend to have a lot of vertical ridges) then it's possible the polish just doesn't have anything to really stick to. I have noticed different brands tend to come off differently. Harder formulas tend to chip off in bits and softer formulas tend to peel right off in rubbery sheets. Try a protective top coat and see if it lasts any longer.

Curious about what your mom uses as this seems to be a problem for a lot of us.

I love that colour, Meeks!

This stuff exists, in case anyone hadn't seen it yet.

 

[MeekMe]

That nail polish is awesome, Collar. I looked through some of the others and I really like the colors they have to offer. Very cool.

G bought me a thermal nail polish for last years stocking. It's a very lovely wearable pale slightly sweet pink when warm and violet when cold. He loves it at it's so obvious a change, and I like that it's sweet and highly wearable. It's actually what my toes have been wearing for a couple of weeks now. I understand that they don't work forever, so I suggested he chose me a small bottle when I put in on the shortlist of things k might like in my stocking (We have a system)

Thermal nail polish sounds fun

I just got my christmassy nails done
