How sad my nails have never been that long on their own

Oh,no they,will grow back

@curly me Hi, try mending your broken nail with tissue and super glue. I usually layer small pieces of tissue over the break with the glue. Once it dries I buff it smooth and polish over it. hth

I went to sally's to buy a glass nail file and some polish I spent maybe thirty dollars in all. One of the new colors that I brought was (For Audry) I think its my new fav color here it is this color makes me feel so good i love the way it goes on my nail as well.

Cute Mega! I have not done my nails cause now I have 3 broken nails ! Just really upset.

Ladies! I'll be trying out the Zoya Color Lock system this weekend. It's a 5 step system (remover, base coat, color, top coat, speed dry drops) that's supposed to keep your mani intact for 7-10 days. I've heard good things on youtube and they recently had a promotion offering 6 free polishes if you bought the system. We'll see how this works out!

chrs, hope the treatments work out for you.

Here's my current mani using the Zoya color lock:

Well kinda...I started out with all the steps, but then I got this flakie top coat, added that and then put a coat of Seche Vite on because I feel like the Zoya top coat isn't shiny enough.

Early thoughts on Zoya Color Lock:

--I really like the ridge filling base coat. It really provides an even surface to apply color
--I do not like the top coat. I had been using a quick dry (Seche Vite) and this takes too long to dry even with the drying drops on them and as mentioned above I don't think it's shiny enough.
--So far I'm liking the staying power though.

i havent been gettin my notifications from here i was wonderin what happened to people!!

i have soooo slacked off my nail reggie since about Sept i just havent taken the time i did in the beginning to do them so they've been cracking at the white meat (bernie mac, lol) and although they seem strong, they get sharp. my thumbs still break off first and my nails are so uneven

**sigh** gimme a second n i'll get back on point. other than that...yall are lookin good.

Are you still letting people in??? I have my own nails???

Zoya update:

So I got a good 4 days out of that mani--which isn't too shabby I guess. Usually I get chips by day 2. I probably could have gotten another day out of it if I hadn't decided to wash the dishes without gloves. Overall I'm pleased though.

Ok so I'm not apart of the natural nail challenge but I have to admit, I've been lurking...

You ladies inspired me to try some designs on my nails. This is the third design I've tried and the one I am most proud of.....so DONT laugh...
