  • ss? i have them well maintained, but not painted about half the time, the other half, they're painted. sometimes by me, sometimes by a pro.

  • I'm hard on my nails, so polish doesn't last very long on me. I love it, but don't usually bother as it's so crushing to spend an hour doing them so carefully and then 2 days later they look like poo. That said...a week ago, I bought a new color from the OPI collection. 1 base coat, 2 polish coats, 1 top coat...and those suckers lasted until this weekend and looked FABULOUS! I was too busy doing seam magic on an ivory tablecloth last night to reapply though. And it's ridiculous, I always have an urge to buy new colors even when I only rarely wear them. I just love pretty colors in little bottles Embarrassed

    I've really noticed a difference when I use new polish and I really love Seche Vite - you actually put it on when the last coat of color is still wet.  I actually do all of my layers 'wet' - I don't wait for drying hardly at all.  The Seche Vite dries really fast so you don't have to worry about ruining them easily - basically the very top hardens and then it's about another hour before the whole nail is completely done, but it makes it a lot easier.

    no problem, that's what a good poll participant does :)

  • I have this on my nails right now:

  • I rarely get my nails done, but when I do I always go to a professional. I try to do it myself, but it always looks like I do a crappy job. And I always go with a French manicure, to me it always looks nice. : )

  • I go in phases. I love having color on my nails, but my nails are notoriously weak. They peel and chip and bend and snap really easily even with care.

    But I am super addicted to nail polish. I can't seem to stop myself from buying a new Zoya polish every few months and I am so tempted to join Julep's Maven club. ^^;

  • Special Snowflake:

    When they're maintained, it's because I've had them professionally done. I like them to look nice, but have realized that I am just not competent to do it on my own, so I don't bother trying. However, I cannot afford to go to the salon all the time, either.

    So it's a toss-up between, "I do the bare minimum" and "Yes, professionally".
