^ Holy crap that is a lot of polish to me! My best friend has >100 bottles now and I'm definitely envious.

Got gel nails yesterday- I was a little disappointed by the fact that she CHOPPED all my nails down so far and the tipes are like half the nail, but I'm happy with them overall and figure when they grown out some and the tips are showrter, I will like them even more!!

I'm surprised that she cut your nails off! Weird! Regardless, if you choose to keep them, and get them done again, tell her that you want her to simply overlay the gel on your actual nail. They look really good, ocean!

Ocean - My hands always feel/look a little funny after I get acrylics put on. They chop your real nails then apply the false tips so far down they look like little midget hands, but give it a week or so and they will grow out, and when you get them redone the colored tips will be thinner

Don't worry, they look great!

BUT what i really liked, when i wasn't doing anything that required a lot of oomph was Burts Bee's Tinted Lip Balm. just a little bit of colour with their awesome awesome lip balm powerz.

I loveee that tinted lip balm. It makes my lips so smooth && adds just a hint of color/shine.

Well, after getting the BEST help for my blemishes (FuturePig is an angel ) I come back to you with a foot problem. I wear flip flops all the time and they're so dry. I've been wearing flip flops all summer for years and they've never been like this. Does anybody have any suggestions for cure alls? Any suggestions welcome though I'd prefer home remedies if possible.

During the winter I get super dry feet. I use Eucerin cream (it comes in a circular tub). I put a ton of it on my feet, put socks on over it, and let it sit overnight. It's worked wonders on my feet. Also, if you use a pumice stone after a shower but before putting on the Eucerin, it works 10x better. :D

I went into Ulta yesterday and picked up OPI Roadhouse Blues from the Touring America collection. Of all their fall colors, this is the only one that even slightly interested me.

I also picked up Orly's Fowl Play from their Birds of a Feather collection. I haven't read anything online about this collection, but once I saw this color I knew I immediately had to have it. It's a dark purple base with flakies like Nubar or Nfu Oh polishes!

Once I got home, I couldn't decide which I wanted to try first, so I layered them: two coats of Road House Blues and one of Fowl Play and I came out with this:

I am TICKED OFF about my nails.
I went into the place I got my nails done yesterday b/c 2 broke within a few days of getting them done- (Doing my makeup a nail hit the counter and broke, the other one I was opening a door- so nothing crazy to make them break) - SO I go into the store , tell the guy behind the counter, he gives me attitude and says "So you broke a nail?" and I was like TWO- holding both of them up- he was SNOTTY so I said "Can you not see both are broken" He says "Sorry- she's gone to the store" and that was IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was like, "okay, should I wait for her? Come back? How long will she be?" and he was like "I don't know- you could wiat, or you could come back. I don't know how long she'll be" in a very snarky way.
I was FURIOUS.
I'm not going back to that place.
YOU do a shit job on my nails and they break within 2 days of putting them on and you are gonna give me sass b/c I come in to get them fixed??!!?!?
UGH.

my next pedi colour

my big toenail is loose I am freaking out I think I am going to lose it
what is it going to look like under there?
If I lose it, I can't get my nails done in 2 weeks. Nasty.

 

[queenbee1127]

Ocean - Definitely find another nail salon! There is a nail salon in every strip mall on every block in America, surely there is a salon close to you that does a good job. Once you find the one you won't want to go anywhere else, I promise!

PI - I manage to lose toenails pretty frequently but it's usually my smaller toes, I've never lost the big one. It just looks like regular skin, maybe a little wrinkly and dry with some nail fiber left behind. I have found that my toenails grow significantly faster than my fingernails so even if you do lose it, it should grow back in several weeks.

^That is my plan
I want to call the mgr of the store and let them know how disappointed I am.
I'm not usually one to call and complain but I am really erked by that situation.
I do love the nails though.....the ones that are left so I look forward to getting them done again and another color on.
I need to wait until next check though b/c I blew my monies today on all the holiday sales going on.
BUT I have a bunch of fun clothes I can't wait to wear! (And a mental list of things to go back for )

Awesome idea for a thread-- I love it!! It inspired me to go buy some new nail polish a couple days ago.
