All New Nails

[smalex]

Its lovely isn't it! Shes so talented, shes nuts about nails, always doing new courses for new techniques and stuff.

[Estrella]

Your nails are gorgeous, Smal. I really like the shape of them too.

[Pippedydeadeye]

Those look gorgeous Smal.

[Kenickie]

That accent nail is beautiful.

I'm sorry about your troubles, Shoe.

[Turtle Bean]

I went a bit mad with mine last night. The thumb nail is yet another colour.

[Shoe]

Shoe. I am doing dip again. It's going better but however much I buff it's still not smooth after the top coat. I guess you don't have any top tips yet?

In short, no.

I did find that mine looked better when I went back and filed again the next day. I think I got bored and didn't do enough the first time (I was also struggling for the right grade of file). When I had more time the next day I smoothed them out more but then I cheated and used my normal top coat on them because the one from the kit seemed to stay sticky for ages.

I am hopefully going to have another go later this week so I will report back.

I imagine things like that take a few goes to get the hang of Shoe. I wonder if it was a bit too thick if it pinged off in big chunks like that.

Tropical nails

[Shoe]

Quite possibly, Pov. Although I think part of the problem was I chew a few of my nails quite a lot, I don't bite them off but I do sort of chomp on them so I doubt that helps.

Yours are amazing, as always.

I got my nails chopped off yesterday and I feel naked. This is another powder dip one. I went a bit more classic after the constant compliments from 5 year olds at school pick up on my pink sparkly ones.

[Princess Morripov]

That is a lovely rich colour Est. Shoe, have you tried the dipping stuff again since?

Fresh nails

Slightly messy Harry Potter nails for our visit to Harry Potter World:

[Ella77]

Those are excellent. Did you do them?

[purple_dress]

They are just mini stickers with three top coats! I only need them to last the day, thankfully.

[Princess Morripov]

They are super cute

[Shoe]

I have not, Pov. I'm off next week so hoping to get more time to have another go soon.

[Estrella]

New nail day for me.

[smalex]

Your HP nails are very cute PD. Did the boys love them?

Those are pretty Est, is the flowery one a sticker?

New nails for me too.

[purple_dress]

Beautiful nails, both! Do you both have gel polish? I loved it when I had it but my nails started splitting and I had to quit.

Yes, the boys were very impressed. I found out why you don't use normal stickers on nails though: the glue melted the polish! They did last the day though.

[Kenickie]

Some lovely purples there!

[Estrella]

Mine are SNS nails, and yes the flower was some kind of foil transfer. I got them done this morning for my best friend’s wedding. Then S projectile vomited on both me and MrE (and the stairs and wall) as we were about to leave. So I’m home with pretty nails and nowhere to go.
