so Ladies I have been using a crystal file to file my nails now and I must say it really works !!! it cuts down on the bubbles on the tips and it has also made my nails stronger and more smoother on the edges . Now I no longer get those bubbles and the peeling on my nails anymore and they are growing longer than I ever expected .

They are getting so long I'm thinking of cutting them down , and I have been hitting them against things where they should have broken and they haven't..... it's amazing . they are so much stronger now and I would have never thought that they would grow this long without some type of overlay but they have .

So ladies go get you a crystal file and see how strong your nails get . oh and I have not broken a nail since starting this challenge !!!!! wow now that's unheard of . lol

@Tina that design is too cute and I love that orange color .

well i need to know what this crystal file is (post pic) cuz now even with my nails bein shortened, they are still splittin on the sides and i only notice when i have my hands fondle my tresses n it snags

thank you curly! i was trying out that nichole' by opi...i think i like it lol your designs are awesome and i'm with nubie what kinda file is that??

Hey ladies,, I have been watching this thread for a while now try to get the courage to remove my artifical nails...I finally did it yesturday This is what they look like now

I finally got my perfect formula gel coat for my nails , I guess the first one got lost in the mail. so I should have a review soon about it .
but you ladies have a good evening . Later !!

Very nice

Hi, ladies! I'm new to this thread but have been doing my own nails forever (mainly because I'm cheap...lol).

A few years ago I discovered that I have a severe allergic reaction to formaldehyde...my eyes swell shut and I develop a rash on my face and eyelids. So I bought this nail polish Saturday and thought it was formaldehyde-free but, to my surprise, woke up with puffy, itchy eyelids this morning. After a quick search online, I found that it does contain the dreaded ingredient!

Does anyone else have this problem or know of any good formaldehyde-free nail polish in cool colors?

I've been doing pink colors this month in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness:

I tried to do some nail art last night but it didn't go to well, so this week's pink is not all the way complete

Hey ladies, you guys have been doing some awesome colors and nail art. I've been way too lazy for that. Last night I did Milani 3D, a gold "holographic" polish. Too lazy for proper clean up.
