I generally do them twice a week:). I want to try your idea of a different colour on the ring finger:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-mani#post-1083348 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 07:24:48 +0000 Lyn D. 1083348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How pretty Aida!<br />I like the different sized glitter on some nails.<br />Getting some good ideas here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-mani#post-1083042 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 00:24:47 +0000 Aida 1083042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I <i>looove</i> polish, my nails are usually polished up! Here's my current mani: gray with teal/holo glitters and a soft matte top coat; accent nails use a&nbsp;made-by-me glitter topper.</p> <p> For those who don't like to wait for drying AND who want their polish to last longer, I HIGHLY suggest using the top coat "Seche Vite" (you can get it at Target). It'll dramatically improve the quality of your manicures!</p> <p>Lyn, your mani and ring are both pretty! I like how the mani picks up on some of the opals colors but not all; you've really got plenty of lovely shades to choose from with an opal as your inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-mani#post-1082480 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 15:11:19 +0000 orangefish 1082480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your nails are really eye-catching! I don't paint my nails because I don't like the chemical smell and am usually too busy. Oh well, at least they're clean! (: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-mani#post-1082446 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:30:16 +0000 Anonymous 1082446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty! I aim for a polished look overall, so you'd think I'd be great at keeping my nails done, right? No, I'm the worst! It's just one of those tasks that I dread doing. The worst is waiting for my nails to completely dry. On the rare occasion that I wear polish, I love how it looks and always vow to start doing my nails weekly&nbsp;... but this leopard hasn't changed her spots. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-mani#post-1082093 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 04:00:29 +0000 Lyn D. 1082093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am glad you have been inspired to paint your toe-nails PC.<br />Von- I can relate- I often paint in stages too. Thanks for the tip re. Glitter!<br />Deborah, your nails always look lovely- do you paint your own?<br />Ave. I find a top coat to be a great polish lengthener, especially if you remember to do another coat after a few days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-mani#post-1081729 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 22:56:48 +0000 AviaMariah 1081729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm always so impressed when people are able to keep their nails looking nice. &nbsp;I don't paint mine because it never seems to last more that two days. &nbsp;So mine are naked! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-mani#post-1081602 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 21:28:49 +0000 Deborah 1081602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your nails look lovely Lyn, and the ring is so beautiful. I love wearing thing that have such sentimental value. I am wearing my grandmother's eternity ring as my wedding ring at the moment (my own rings need altering). As for nails, almost always red and sometimes black cherry:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-mani#post-1081591 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 21:21:50 +0000 Von 1081591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't keep a mani either. I'm on the computer all day, and years of playing piano have turned me into a *key striker*, not a key stroker.&nbsp; I can kill a shellac in less than a week!</p> <p>So, I do my nails at home, the problem is that I rarely have time to play beauty shop, so I have to do my nails in phases.&nbsp; This morning, I got on my base coat of color before work, which is like one step up from a chipped manicure in my book.&nbsp; Tonight I'll add a 2nd coat, and either a high gloss top coat, or glitter.&nbsp; Glitter polish saves me on a weekly basis, since when you go to touch up the chippy area, you can't tell where it was patched.&nbsp; </p> <p>Maybe I'll have a photo later! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-mani#post-1081590 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 21:21:01 +0000 peacechick 1081590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your opal ring and that is a lovely shade. I have a small bathroom shelf full of nail colors and no time for painting. Maybe this weekend I'll try to do my toes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-mani#post-1081570 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 21:09:44 +0000 Lyn D. 1081570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Diane G, Neel and Elly!<br />FB- I know some Guitar players keep some nails short and some long for picking.<br />Carter- your hands and toes are lovely.<br />RWD- I always do my own nails, but admire the way the prof. jobs last so long.<br />Dianthus- those polishing emery boards are great, I sometimes use mine for the lovely smooth effect and subtle shine they produce. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-mani#post-1081177 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 14:31:51 +0000 Elly 1081177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I work with my hands, 'enuf said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-mani#post-1081165 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 14:16:02 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1081165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I stopped getting manicures because the polish chips off of my nails in a day or two so they looked unkempt more often than not.&nbsp; </p> <p>I was in the mall the other day and got caught at one of those booths they have in the center of the aisles.&nbsp; The pitch was for a nail kit that included a rectangular buffing block, cuticle oil, and a rich moisturizer.&nbsp; The buffing block had three colors.&nbsp; One took off the ridges, the next smoothed, and the third polished.&nbsp; It was amazing how shiny and pretty my plain nails looked after 10 seconds of buffing.&nbsp; I ended up buying two - one for me and one for a friend.&nbsp; My nails are still shiny three or four days later and NO chemicals.&nbsp; woo hoo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-mani#post-1081157 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 13:50:24 +0000 RunswithDolphins 1081157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, I love the colour and the pretty complimentary ring finger.&nbsp; What a lovely ring!</p> <p>Carter, you have pretty nails and I know what you mean about hubbies thinking we're nuts to take some of these photos.&nbsp; LOL</p> <p>Here's my 10 day old shellac in Pop Cake.&nbsp; It's starting to get a little ratty but I'm scheduled for an appointment on Wednesday.&nbsp; I'll probably go for Rose Bud this time.&nbsp; I almost always go with pinks (toes and fingers) but once I went with a Taupe and my husband really didn't like it all.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-mani#post-1081137 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 13:23:16 +0000 carter 1081137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, mine are boring but always "done". Finger nails are always neutral. Toe nails are always colored, although I tend to stick with reds, pinks and oranges. My husband would have thought I had lost my mind taking this pic this morning...good thing he's already left for work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-mani#post-1081080 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 09:51:37 +0000 Neel 1081080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I could put up mine just to show how ugly they look right now! &nbsp;o_O &nbsp;Your nails are lovely and so is the beautiful ring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-mani#post-1081074 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 09:40:19 +0000 froggiebecky 1081074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the ring! I have a similar one from my grandmother.&nbsp;<br />Another of the unmanicured set here. The whole "I play guitar--no length at all" is always met with "but you don't want ugly nails!" ...so I tend to just skip it.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-mani#post-1081061 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 09:23:33 +0000 Anonymous 1081061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm afraid my nails are naked and dry and flaky at the&nbsp;moment :(&nbsp;.<br />Yours look lovely though. The ring is gorgeous, such lovely colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-mani#post-1081059 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 09:18:58 +0000 Lyn D. 1081059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Penny! I also have &nbsp;a ring of hers with a brown opal- I always feel close to her when I wear :)<br />I love bright polish on toe nails too.<br />The greyish top is from Katies, not their usual bright prints for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-mani#post-1081043 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 08:13:18 +0000 Lantana 1081043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that you're wearing your Grandmother's opal. Pretty nails!<br /> Just for fun I had Shrek toenails during our last stint of hot days. They were lime green. It's cooled off again this week so the toes have gone back into hibernation.<br /> BTW, I loved your olive green outfit from a few days ago. You will wear that top a lot this summer, for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-mani#post-1081040 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 08:11:45 +0000 Lyn D. 1081040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for commenting Lily and Vix!<br />Amy- someone on this forum put me onto the different colour on ring finger idea, and I do this often.<br />People notice and often comment.

I find self-manicures so horridly boring...worse than flossing.&nbsp;</p> <p>When they do get polish I'm generally doing a pale pink similar to your 9. ;)&nbsp;Shows the chips less! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-mani#post-1081028 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 06:53:35 +0000 minimalist 1081028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Short and neutral here, sorry to disappoint!<br /> Inadvertent mani pictures here, if that helps?<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shopping-1" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....shopping-1</a></p> <p>Is the nail on your ring finger blue, while the others are pink?
