I like it better than OPI which is what the pedicure salon I visit uses. This Chanel polish was from Macy's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-1#post-14785 Sun, 13 Jul 2008 14:13:46 +0000 nicoleb 14785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love OPI! i'm currently wearing "Give me a coral sometime" from their summer collection. :)</p> <p>I also looove pedicures. I used to get them all the time when i was a single gal. Now, so my husband doesn't have a heart attack, i get them during the summer as a special treat once and awhile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-1#post-14064 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 18:34:42 +0000 katieck 14064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always bring my own polish. That way, if it chips I can touch it up at home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-1#post-14041 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 16:21:18 +0000 Ana 14041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a good question, Becky. I've never gotten a pedicure or a manicure because of this, I always just do it myself. </p> <p>I'd say the way to prevent it is to bring your own nail polish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-1#post-14033 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:23:20 +0000 Becky 14033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's a dumb question from someone who has never had a professional pedicure: I know that many polishes are provided by the salon, but how do they prevent foot fungus, etc. from spreading when they use the same polish on hundreds of different toenails? I am a bit of a germophobe, and that is one of my fears about getting a pedicure. I know they sterilize all the equipment, but what about the polish brushes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-1#post-14030 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:13:04 +0000 lisamartin 14030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just saw some turquoise at the grocery- it was Revlon.<br /> I like the OPI Russian Navy too- their nail enamel wears so well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-1#post-14019 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:26:23 +0000 Patience 14019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I do love my turquoise toes, especially with yellow, berry, gold or white sandals! Yum. I think I might buy some dark blue polish as well. Unfortunately I had to clean it off one of my big toes because I had a chip so I really need to find some tout de suite. I couldn't bring myself to remove the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-1#post-13996 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 05:26:56 +0000 Angie 13996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You sweet thing. Sounds like the perfect pedicure, Antje. But I could never rob you of your pretty red toes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-1#post-13992 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 05:14:55 +0000 Antje 13992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Angie, I can't get over the sad fact that you don't like pedicures. We should split one - I happily take the cuticle picking, callus scrubbing, foot rub and leg massage, and let you have the polish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-1#post-13988 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 04:54:08 +0000 Angie 13988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You'll find Chanel nail vanish at department stores. I buy mine at Nordstrom or duty free shops. </p> <p>Do you love your turquoise toes, Patience? I simple adore my green or blue toenails. I like turquoise too. I’m having my toe nails done a dark cobalt blue tomorrow. I’m dreading the pedicure, but can’t wait for the end result. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-1#post-13964 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 01:46:25 +0000 lisamartin 13964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I swear by Chanel Vamp and metallic Vamp- </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-1#post-13948 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 00:52:28 +0000 Ana 13948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Patience, HEB carries OPI as well (although not as many colors as ULTA does). It's the same price at HEB and ULTA. I use "Chip Skip" by OPI on clean nails, then a coat of "Start to Finish," which is a base and top coat, and then 2 layers of color, and then a final coat of "Start to Finish." My pedis last for at least 2 weeks. If I paint them a light color that doesn't show chips, I can get away with 3 weeks sometimes. I also use a pumice stick and gently scrape the thin layer of skin off my nail bed and push back my cuticles before I start, that helps a lot. </p> <p>If you like iridescent color, "Sweetie Pie" is a really pretty light iridescent cream that I always paint on my fingernails because I'm hard on my hands and my manicure chips first. It doesn't show chips too badly if I only use one coat of color. It just looks like I have clean, healthy nails. Another color I really like is "Tutti Frutti Tonga," which is an iridescent coral color, and "Royal Flush Blush" is a nice creamy, iridescent pink (it's on my toes right now). "Nomad's Dream" is one of my all time favorites, it's a taupe color that has an iridescent pink and green sheen to it. </p> <p>I've seen Chanel nail polish at Nordie's. You have to specifically ask for it though, I don't think they make a big display of it like they do lipsticks and stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-1#post-13940 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 23:50:29 +0000 Patience 13940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OPI sounds popular. I will check out Ulta. Any other places to check? I'd prefer to see the colors in person I think.</p> <p>BTW I started thinking about nail polish because I got a pedi last week-- turquoise toes! But they chipped at the pool. So I need to find a bottle. I like the non metallic/irridiscent version. I'd also like to get some other colors. I always forget how colorful toes make me happy. </p> <p>Angie, where to find Chanel color? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-1#post-13931 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 23:27:54 +0000 Tanya 13931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another OPI fan here. I also use Essie and have one nice polish from Lancome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-1#post-13898 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 20:35:42 +0000 Dani 13898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For what it's worth, I used to use OPI before I looked into cosmetic ingredients and things of that nature. I've been using No Miss for the last couple of years and have been pretty happy with their product. They have quite a few colors to choose from and you can get them at stores like Whole Foods. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-1#post-13882 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 17:55:18 +0000 Antje 13882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use OPI as well, and so do most of the salons where I get pedicures. OPI has several great shades of rich red, which is my color of choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-1#post-13864 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 17:09:21 +0000 Ana 13864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I always wanted to try Chanel, I've heard good things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-1#post-13861 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 17:03:35 +0000 katieck 13861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've also heard Essie is good, but I've never tried it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-1#post-13858 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:41:43 +0000 Angie 13858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use Chanel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-1#post-13853 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:34:43 +0000 Ana 13853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like OPI. I have tried other brands and the quality is just not the same. OPI goes on very smoothly and evenly and always looks great. I buy mine at ULTA, because I always have coupons for them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-1#post-13849 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:28:52 +0000 katieck 13849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm another OPI fan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-1#post-13844 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:01:03 +0000 Sarah 13844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am partial to OPI. I don't know if it's the great color selection or the fun names, but that is what I always buy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nail-polish-1#post-13843 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:53:36 +0000 Patience 13843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where do you guys like to buy nail polish, and what brands? Thanks. </p>
