I don’t know the proper way to apply nail polish let alone make it last longer than a day (in my case) << they literally start chipping within a couple of days >>
Here’s a cool trick from Tiffany.

Mini trivia:
I am a musician. A pianist and a cellist.
For as long as my musical side of me existed, my nails were short and never manicured.
That is till I dropped my dreams of becoming a famous musician to become a 9-5 slave in the corporate world.

No CommentsLightening your nails after dark polish
by Carol, posted in Hands/Nails
Awhile ago, a reader asked how to prevent nail stains from dark polish. I read a tip from Instyle Magazine about some homemade remedies you may want to try:
- Soak nails in 1/2 cup of lemon juice (this gently lightens nails)
- Soak nails in 1/2 cup of olive oil (helps moisturize)
- Dab whitening toothpaste on your nails, rinse off, then buff to remove the top layer of stains. Whitening toothpaste does the same thing as whitening your teeth, which should be gentle (obviously your TEETH are much more sensitive!)
- Add a base coat of clear polish before you apply the dark polish so it won’t have direct contact.
Enjoy your dark nails ladies!

3 CommentsDo you PURELL?
by Jina, posted in Hands/Nails, Health
Well … YOU’RE WASTING YOUR TIME!
Did you know that PURELL kills 99% of germs but leaves 1% of the STRONGEST germ that recolonizes in about 5 minutes and in 20 minutes, it’s back to it’s 100%???
ALSO, what is the point of PURELL-ing when the next thing you touch is covered in germs that get transferred back to your PURELL-ed hands???
So what hope do we germ-o-phob’s have??

No CommentsNARS nail polish
by Carol, posted in Hands/Nails
Would you spend $16 on nail polish? I thought that was pretty ridiculous until a friend of mine raved about it in college. NARS is known to be an expensive brand so maybe $16 isn’t all that bad. Not only do they have some amazing colors, but the nail polish actually stays much longer and doesn’t chip as much.

Me too!
I usually have long nails but lately work’s been making my nails break all the time. So I finally cut them all off and they look so lifeless and sad:

I’m one of those types of people that always always has tweezers in their purse. I ended up finally using the last of my Sephora gift card today. THANK YOU for the brides who give us that as a service tip! Out of the 50% of people who actually do tip us, another half of those give us Sephora cards. It’s good and bad because it forces me to constantly try new products, but bad because of course I end up buying more things
Today I purchased this:
