I have nubins !

On Friday I spent 5 hours doing my nails , and today one broke and the others started to lift. I got fed up with them and took them off . I really did a number on my nails though , I noticed I have been doing my nails more often than two weeks .

I was doing them almost every three days or so . I would do them and than one would break and than I would end up taking all of them off and redoing them and than it would start all over again. Thing is my nails are so messed up that when I apply tips they would come off with in a week or less , and than result in me taking them off .

I am finally fed up with this endless cycle and have decided to try and grow them out again and go short . Instead of adding tips this time around I put gel on what was left of my nails . I'm hoping I can leave my nails alone long enough to see what develops . Spending hours doing my nails to have them break or have to be done with in a week is not worth it .

The gel works almost like acrylic , creating a coating to protect my very thin weak , brittle nails . The gel also creates a nice surface to do some konading also . I hope to do some konad signs still .

St Patricks Day Mani #2



I did a fill and I learned something new from coolsnailart . I learned how to take off my cuticles , I think it helped make my manicure look a little bit neater . For this mani I use Sally Hansen Jumpin jade for the base , and topped it off with Sally Hansen Lime Light .



I used scotch tape at an angle and stamped IP M 60 using Konad white polish and than stamped my ring fingers with IP M22 with Konad Special polish in White . I am thinking of entering it into the Nail art contest for OC Nail art.

My new Mani this week. My husband got me a beautiful boquet of flowers for Valentines day and they were delivered to my work . I was inspired by my boquet for this manicure.

I used Opi Pearls night out , and Konad special polish in red with IP M 65.
