I found the Tea Cremes Collection (one of my favorite collections ever) online from a fellow laquerista for a very good price and it arrived in pristine condition! Including the box! (And an ILNP polish (Autumn), but just ignore that one in the last picture)

Base: KBS - Hydrating Base

HT - Matcha Maker, Bring me the teal, High tea Hibiskus, Butterscotch hop, See y'all later Chai, I'm Overbrew, Gold Flakie Taco

Topcoat: Essie good to go

And please excuse my dry cuticles 😅 I have been bouldering and no matter how much I oil them, they just dry out qhenever I use chalk 🙈

Hello,

Maybe an explanation why I ask.... I got into Bouldering this year. While I love it, it does damage my manicures and to be able to climb, I need short nails. So my nail length is limited. I used to do my nails only once a week, now I have to do it twice a week. The nailpolish protects my nails somewhat but still, the free edge is rough after the training. So it does not make sense to put a lot of work into my manicures anymore or do nailart.

I feel like I have to chose between my two favorite hobbies 😭 Pretty nails or sports?

Sooooo how do you deal with hobbies that are mean to your nails?
