Ah I am crap at doing my right hand with my left. I also spend a fortune dying my hair so that uses up all my cash!

HollyBrown · 26/01/2017 17:37

Galaxy!

Mine cost £15 every 3 weeks. I feel absolutely no shame, they are my only luxury. Don't drink/smoke etc.

I find they don't last from salon though. At home they last full week with no chips or anything before I take off and change colour. Every time I try a salon they chip in 2 days

Holly those are lovely Smile

You've all got lovely looking nails but I've got some questions.

I scrub my nails with a scrubbing brush every evening because otherwise there is all sorts of vile gunk under them, are your nails really clean?
If they are super clean, how do you prevent chips when painted?
Do you wear gloves all the time when doing household stuff?
Don't they feel thick with all that paint on them?

Gizlotsmum I really, really need want a rose gold polish. Where is yours from?

Ifonlyiweretaller · 26/01/2017 18:47

What beautiful hands Natalie! Although I have my nails shellaced (£15 every fortnight) I unfortunately still have sausage fingers. Yours look so elegant - and i love the colour!

FishlessCake · 26/01/2017 18:51

FeliciaJollygoodfellow I'm wearing Barry M Twinkle at the moment. I'm just about to change it to Barry M Nutcracker which is the other Superdrug special one.

Purple. I'm not sure why I went for purple. I panicked when they asked what colour I wanted, I don't even really like purple Confused

Yours all sound cheap! Mine were £32 and have lasted 10 days but are starting to peel now.

Cheapest place i have found is £27 for removal and redoing them do doing that every fortnight is just too much for me (although spend mire on wine!).

blueskyinmarch · 26/01/2017 21:38

Mine are around £30 a time but they last me a full 3 weeks. It took me a while to find a really good salon though.

NatalieRushman · 26/01/2017 22:09

Ifonly you're making me Blush. Yes Fishless, they are! I always had to have unreasonably short nails when I was younger, for piano purposes, so as soon as I left for uni and stopped having lessons, I vowed they would never be short again. Haven't looked back since!

FeliciaJollygoodfellow · 26/01/2017 22:10

It's lovely innit KitKat? One of my faves.

I got my illamasqua order today so have replaced with nail veil in bamboo. I like doing my nails and wouldn't pay someone to do them tbh! It looks nicer in real life! Grin

Pale peach with decals but it really needed another coat and it looks a bit shit so I'm not posting a picture.

I do my own.

WiltingTulip · 26/01/2017 23:58

@littlerose12345 I dunno. I asked for the prettiest pink and I reckon I got it!!! 🤗

I'm in Aus and it costs about $30 for refill/polish every 3 weeks. I hadn't done it for ages (doing chemotherapy) and having nice nails again is fantastic.

I'll post another picture in better light

@hollybrown are the stars painted on or is that a wrap? They're great 👍

I'd love to see a picture of rose gold nails.

firsttimemum15 · 27/01/2017 03:50

Got mine done today not mu usual therapist whilst they look ok i just want them off. Feel she did a bad job.

Twinkle nails so layered actual glitter. Fine. But about 4 layers of geltheyre still not sealed properly feel like theyre gonna be awful to get off.

More exoensive than usual too had brows done and theyre not good either.

Lying awake now with regret but thats not whu i am awake tho

Liiinoo · 27/01/2017 10:18

OPI Russian Navy shellacs. I have them done every three weeks and it lasts pretty well most times. One nail is weak and crumbles under the gel making it chip but when I had them redone yesterday even that weak nail was still perfect. I have been using cuticle oil and taking Biotin to strengthen them so maybe it is finally paying off.
