OPI nail envy - I can’t seem to apply correctly dispite following directions.

I am new to doing my own nails, and I have dexterity issues. I think my issue is I’m not getting enough equal product and it’s forming lines?

Will red nail polish stain my nails

I have long nails and I like to keep them. Will painting my nails a rather dark red nail polish stain them? I don't have any clear nail polish sadly

Which Nail polish for a white Shirt?

I‚ve got a job interview tomorrow and i would like to freshen up my nails, but I’m unsure which color to pick.

i will be wearing a classic white shirt and probably dark blue suit pants, but those won’t matter since it’s online.

I usually go for classic black or red, but I‘m unsure if those go that well with a shirt.

I have also thought about a dark blue/ Navy color.

thank for any advice 🙏

Shifty goodness 🧡🩶

I always knew Dark Static by emilydemolly was beautiful but my god it completely surprised me in a glass bead, so insanely reactive, shifty and gorgeous!! I've tried it before velvetised and liked it a lot but it pulled a bit too coppery orange on me but having that deep grey base exposed with the glass bead style is just... Too gorgeous for words!! Have any of you ever had a magnetic polish completely come to life in a certain style?

1x coat of Sally hansen colour grip primer

1x coat of emilydemolly sticky base

3x coat of emilydemolly Dark static

1x coat of sally hansen insta dri in the red bottle.

Can a run of the mill nail spa do this design?

Hi! I do not know the artist of these nails, but I can only afford a regular nail spa and I was wondering if this would be possible or would require more experience/specialty. I am sorry if any of this was rude, I just don't know anything about nails and I think these are absolutely adorable.

2 coats of Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails

3 coats Essie Sheer Fantasy

1 coat Essie Gel Couture Top Coat

I was originally going to do one coat of sheer fantasy, it was BEAUTIFUL and natural/healthy looking but I decided to try and build it up. 3 coats is such a pretty medium for a super soft baby pink that it’s completely opaque. Excuse my camera quality i’m not entirely used to photographing my hands :)

ISO color dupe for this polish that doesn’t require 3+ coats for payoff

Brand: Trust Fund Beauty. Shade: Adulting

I love colors like this pale pink but can’t stand having to do 3 or more coats for it to look like this since i have a hard time getting even coverage. Does anyone have a shade recommendation from another brand that is similar in color but has better coverage/opacity on first swipes?

"Sunset Vibes"

Cracked Polish gifted (no obligation to post) me their Summer Oasis collection, which will be dropping 5/22 at 8am PST!

This is Sunset Vibes. An absolutely beautiful flakie, described by Cracked as "magenta with fiery red/green/ orange flake." So unbelievably vibrant and stunning, especially in sunlight. As much as I love flakies, they're such a pain to remove, but this polish removed easily with no glitter sticking to my nail. A very nice surprise. Applied very smooth and didnt feel chunky, which I was scared of seeing how it looks like its going to be thick, but is actually very easy to work with.

jelly pink

I’m really happy with how this turned out and I wanted to share!!

3 coats of Manucurist Active Glow: Blueberry

1 coat of Essie Gel Couture Sheer Fantasy

1 coat of Essie Gel Couture Top coat

The manucurist line is such a wonderful clear pink color that’s also a treatment for the nails. It’s my first time trying it and i’m pleasantly surprised with how it’s made my nails feel and the color payoff.

However, the dry time is not short! It’s about 10-15 minutes wait btw coats (but thankfully that wasn’t too much of a problem for me).

3 coats was already a sheer and cute color payoff that was super glossy, but I don’t like the whites of my nails to be super apparent. When I added sheer fantasy it blurred out any imperfections and i was quite happy with the look I got :)

Scrappy little floral transfer set

I have this old set of Amazon nail stickers, the kind that aren't actually sticky but you wet the paper and the design just slides off. I've been into junk journaling and scrapbooking lately and I feel like these give off that vibe haha.

For the stickers, I've had them absolutely forever and they're just loose in a little bag so I'm not sure what the brand was!

Underneath I have Nailtiques Formula 2

On top I have a Sally hansen top coat mixed with some other top coat I poured in there a while back 😅 I would put Nailtiques on top but I'm running out 😔
