Left hand vs Right hand

I have been biting my nails since I was 3 and I’m REALLY trying to quit for good this time… After not biting or picking my cuticles for the last 2 weeks I’m in that dry flaky phase so I thought painting my nails might make me less vulnerable to picking! How did I do? I’m right handed so I always like how my left hand looks more but any tips other than just practice?

Need help identifying Essie nail polish

Hello!

I just got this manicure at a salon and picked out this Essie nail polish and I love the colour. Unfortunately the shade seems to have been removed from the bottom of the bottle, and so we couldn‘t identify the shade. I am by no means an expert, but it reminds me of a darker version of OPI’s ‘You Don’t Know Jacques!’ with fine, warm shimmer. Thank you!

how long can polish on natural nails last?

I'm changing almost every 2-3 days at best, and not sure what I am doing wrong.

I have a few products that I regularly rotate: -two different OPI base coats (ridge fill and glossy) -for top coat I've used three:

  • sallys (green bottle) topper, okay -I used to use hoovers top coat with slightly better results -Seche Quick dry topper, performs usually really badly as a topper, slightly better as a base

In terms of nail polish colors: I use OPI most often

Also, I have short nails, so tipping is stupid challenging. It often just dries down onto my skin if I try to cap.

Also, off topic, but do you's-all every hit pan on nail polish? (just curious)

Best red polish for a bride?!

I’m trying to find the perfect red polish for my wedding day! I don’t want it to pull orange at all. I’d prefer a slightly pink red. Any suggestions?

The name of the polish used is Sally Hansen Insta Dri Vivid Voltage!

I painted my natural nails. 💅

How does it look? Let me know!

Product details:

Desperately seeking this colour!

I have been in love with this colour - Visions of Grandeur by China Glaze - since I was a teenager. They’ve of course discontinued it, like they do every colour I love!

Anyone know where I can get my hands on this or something similar? It’s a really rich deep red with a little bit of gold in it.

Any help greatly appreciated!!

Zoya Shade Name?

Got a huge bundle of Zoya polishes and this one has no sticker! Anyone recognize this polish?

Photo taken with flash. I would say it’s pink/mauve with pink shimmer!

Info about Nat Robbins

Hello! My mom got this from a garage sale, and I’m super curious about this brand as I’ve never heard of it. Would anyone have any idea on how old this would be?
Would love to know more about this brand as it looks like it’s been discontinued? Thanks!

help removing nail polish from UNDERNEATH proximal nail fold??

hi!! i hope this is in compliance with the rules… yesterday, i was watching my neighbors’ kids, and they gave me a very thorough manicure lol. since they are still toddlers, i had nail polish ALL OVER my fingers. so far i’ve managed to remove most of it, but some of it pooled all over the place and is still stuck to the skin of my proximal nail fold and sidewalls no matter how much polish remover i use.

how do i remove the polish from such an awkward spot??? i‘m nervous that if i leave it, i’ll start picking at my cuticles again to get it off! i appreciate any and all suggestions :)

Why must bright colours be so difficult to photograph? 💖💅🏼

Knowing that Zoya's bright colours tend to stain, I preemptively used a different base coat to prevent adding a pink stain to the green staining Avani left on my nails. I think because the two products are so much thicker than my regular base coat, it helps prevent the pigments from permeating through and staining the nail plate.

Product list:

Mavala Nail Shield Phase 1 Nylon Fibre Base, 1 coat

Mavala Nail Shield Phase 2 Protective Sealer, 1 coat

Zoya Pinkie*, 2 coats

Zoya Glossy Seal top coat, 1 coat
