    Do You Wear Nailpolish

    if you do, whats your secret for keeping it on. I wash my hands so much or they are in water that it comes the next day.

    I wear these:




    I LOVE THEM. I don't have the time for manicures and pedicures like I used to, but I always get complimented on my nails. They go over your natural nail (or fake if you so desire) and stay on for 3-4 weeks on hands, 6-8 weeks on toes. No chipping!



    I have just the french tips on now.

      I just ordered shellac gel polish. Friends of mine wear it and it lasts about 2 weeks! I got mine on Ebay for about $15.

          My secret is only wearing it on the weekend or for special occasions (like for the Halloween party today...I did all my nails except the ring fingers in orange polish and did the ring fingers in a green...like a pumpkin ). I have not found a way to make polish on my fingers stay with all that washing. I have a standing date with "AM Style" on QVC Saturday mornings when I do my nails. :: It is almost always chipped by Tuesday morning.

                I pay to have mine done because I am not good at painting them myself. I go about every 3 weeks....

                  I do mine when I get inspired to, but I never expect it to stay on for long. I usually do them for a special occasion/holiday, or on the weekend.

                  One thing that helps is a good basecoat and a good topcoat.

                    Do you do yours yourself? Where do you get it and how does it work with the uv light? How do you get it off?

                      I go to a nail salon to get them done. THey do use a uv light and then when it needs to come off they use some odd tin foil method...

                      the uv light makes my nails very strong and I believe helps to form the gel and paint together. I love it

                        I paint mine to match the holiday or season. I do it every week or so. Can't figure out how to attach pic. I have mummy toes, & my hands are a Frankenstein pumpkin mummy and two black nails w eye balls.

                          those are cool. i love the designs, but when I first saw the length of those nails that first thing that came to my mind was, how much poop could get stuck under my nail :: how awful is that.
