The dry winter air has taken it's toll on my nails.
I had a nasty split waaay back in the nail bed yesterday so to take some of the stress off I shortened my nails and put a silk wrap on. Now to see how long it takes to grow this boo boo out. Luckily it didn't bleed so i think I'm safe as far as risk of infection, but I'm babying it for now. Go figure it's my middle finger...over use I suppose. LOL :P I am looking for a new hydrating base coat if anyone has any tips? I've used Sally Hansen Nail Quencher and it's not helping and I cannot find Barielle Hydrating ridge filler around here.
New manicure to cheer me up:
Rimmel Pulsating (I love polishes with dirty names they make me giggle)
I did 2 coats of Pulsating, 1 Coat Seche Vite and a pretty konad using Sally girl poser and Konad image plates m13 and m1.
What is more cheerful than a lovely magenta with a hot blue flash??
Roses and Spiders that's what!
I sent my spiders to attack Chris' jammies!
And his skull shirt bit me!
This one shows the blue flash perfectly!
Oh no! I hate when I have a deeper nail break like that, I hope that it can grow out soon!
ReplyDeleteThat sucks about the nail break but hopefully it will grow out fast! :) Good luck with your base coat hunt!! This polish and Konadicure look great on you!!!
ReplyDeleteOh nooooooo, not the Flipper!
ReplyDeleteI have to say, although shorter, your nails are *still* absolutely gorgeous!
Love this color on you...I almost got Pulsating the same day I got Apricot Pop...had it in my hand too.
You must know that I <3 the last picture, don'tcha?
Ohh dear.thats not nice! Hope it will be better soon! I love your mani!!! Stunning color, but hey I have a soft spot for this kind of color. And a vrey nice konad. I likde the spider on it :-)
ReplyDeleteI have an extra Nail Tek 2 pk...Foundation II and Intensive Therapy if you want it. I bought enough back-ups for my daughter to last years.
ReplyDeletehope your nail grows out soon, they look fab, great colour!
ReplyDeleteWell, i would like to see you with short nails.
ReplyDeleteSo don't be desperate, i'm sure you would be great on short nails!
Kiss
They still look gorgeous! And the colour looks amazing on you, plus of course the konadicure:)
ReplyDeleteLOVE those spiders!
ReplyDeleteAww i'm sorry you're so sad aout your shorter nails, i think they look amazing!
ReplyDeleteGildedAngel- I'll keep a silkwrap on and try not to flip so many people off and hopfully it will grow fast.lol
ReplyDeleteJudy- Thank You! :)
Lisa- You need pulsating, it would look hot on you!
Chris and his clothes make great props! lol
Romika- Thank you! I love a good glowy color too and I love spiders!
Lisa- Really? yes, yes! :D
BabyD- Thank You, they grow pretty fast.
Trinca- I can't go short or I'm a total mess. I type and do most everything with my nails so without them I'm helpless.
Konadomania- Thank You! I love a nice cheapy polish that really rocks!
Sasha- My spiders love you too! :)
Lillian- Thank You! I know most people don't see much difference but it feels and looks dramatic to me. 8D
Your nails are still long and beautiful! I do hope you heal up quickly, though! I have to search for this Rimmel, it's lovely! And your Konading is ahh-mazing, as always! I love your combos.
ReplyDelete=( Sad as a split like that is, at least it is repairable ... I am so with you on being sick on winter & dry nails! Yesterday I knocked one & a whole corner broke right off, no repair possible, talk about a quick way to a bad mood. Now I am debating between lopside or shortening them all LOL
ReplyDeleteOh no! So sorry you had a bad break. Now you know you have to stop that overuse of the middle digit! Your nails still look beautiful. What a gorgeous polish. Love that blue flash. It's a very lovely color on you.
ReplyDeleteAWWWW!!! poor thing, I'm sorry hun!!!
ReplyDeleteYour nails are still by far the most gorgeous around!!! It's what I wish, in my wildest dreams, my nails would look like!
The color ROCKS and the spiders and roses are the perfect compliment!
Very Pretty! Ill check TJ Maxx again to see if they have any more of the Ridgefiller for you!
ReplyDeleteOk, gorgeous. Again. Your nails make me cry of jealousy. Mine look like nubbins compared to yours. If you can't find the Barielle, I'll scour the pro only sites/stores for ya, and pick you up something :) lovez that pink. I'm lemming it now lol
ReplyDeletesorry about your nail, they still look fab! roses and spiders, classic.
ReplyDeleteOh no! My heart goes out to you! I hope it will grow back nice & quickly. I like using Nubar nu nails or their ridge filler. The nu nails is really good for peelies and stops staining too. I've not tried the barielle or sh one.
ReplyDeleteX
I love the pic with the skull shirt,it shows the color beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThose nails are gorgeous! I really love the spiders, don't see them often in anyone's nails :D
ReplyDeleteFantastic work there!
Oh, what a badass konadicure you got there! I'm in love. Boo hoo on shortened nails!
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna spam you some more, I forgot to add this part.
ReplyDeleteI live for dirty polish names. They make my day!
I rarely break my middle fingernail. It's usually the pointer that gets a crack. Why are we held back from artful self expression? My nails are slightly shorter than they were a month ago. I understand your feelings about it. Q-tica makes an amazing nail strengthener/fortifier that helps with regrowth.
ReplyDeleteI love the rose and the spider together!
LOVE the nail polish, sorry about your nail though :(
ReplyDeleteArrianne- Please spam awayI love polishes with suggestive names!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the break!! They're still real long though! Loving the colour :-)
ReplyDeleteOuch! I'm glad it didn't break the skin! I'll still marry you... Even with shorter talons. :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Spiders and roses! Awesome! Sorry about your nail. I hope it fully recovers real soon. :)
ReplyDeletesorry about your nail, they still look fab! roses and spiders, classic.
ReplyDeleteWell, i would like to see you with short nails.
ReplyDeleteSo don't be desperate, i'm sure you would be great on short nails!
