1st step to fixing this problem.

So though the nails I had on looked nice , they too started lifting on my right hand . My had is a real mess my nails are very very brittle and thin , there is basically no nails on this hand . My quick fix to this problem has been trying to do acrylics , gels and glue ons .

I went to the doctors about two year ago and seen my PCP , I was on an HMO than and my PCP basically told me there is nothing they can do . So with that I went on trying to do my nails with artifical nails.

Now that I have a new medical group and a PPO I am able to go to a dermatologist and try and get this pressing problem solved. My nails have become an obsession and are making me depressed and angry. I can wait to see what the Dermatologist says ! Wish me luck . I hope I can get my nails to grow back , so that I can paint them and do my designs .

The nails I did , did not last very long , :( , I was really hoping for them to be better. However I read on line about something called "Virtual Nails" they are supposedly a Fancy glue on nail. The closes thing I could think of that would be fast to do. Since I can't get out to a Salon right now , I decided to try out these nails that I bought while back . They are thin and comfortable and I have also read some pretty instresting reviews about them. They are kiss Custom fit nails .

They are all done in French Manicure , but I just painted over them in Orange and added they black Konad spider stamp for Halloween. These were really easy to apply and so far no one can tell the difference !

So my secret is out , I think I'll be using these for a while , we'll see how they work out .

Spidars !

My first manicure since I had my son. My son was born on September 1st and I have been pretty busy . Having a toddler and a new born is not easy!!! Things are getting back to normal and I had some time so I did my nails !

I think the design on the lower part of my nail M 45 looks like a spider web , My first mani for Halloween hope you like it .

I honestly think that I am going to stick with sculpting my nails , it takes a little longer but the nails look better and last longer to me.

New manicure for my baby boy. Yesterday we had a false alarm and ended up going to the hospital. After a stress test we were sent home. This pregnancy has been alot different from my 1st pregnancy . I don't remember feeling contractions or being as achey .

I thought maybe doing my nails would make me feel better . For this manicure I used the same blue color I have been using as a base and Konad Image Plate M 65 with Konad special polish in white.

39 weeks today .... I hope he comes soon.

No baby yet , but these nails did not hold up well. So I sculpted some gel nails instead , I did the same design though because I really like it.

My new manicure , I've been a little tired lately so I didn't sculpt these , I used tips . I decided to do this design for my upcoming baby shower . I am now 36 weeks and five days .... Just a little more to go and my 2nd boy will be here . I am excited and nervous .

Thesse are IBD gel nails , I used Salley Hansen nails polish in model behavior , and Konad Image plate M 79 and Konad Special white polish.

I did fills , and the nails are holding up well . None have broke , none have chiped , None have come loose. For this Manicure I used Ultra pro Pearl for the base , Konad light blue special polish and M9. I think I might do blue nails as I wait for my little bundle of Joy to arrive . I have 6 more weeks to go !!
