Since I know We have a lot of nail lovers in here

I hate it when I can't decide what polish I want to wear!  Right now I'm going back and forth between neon pink or silver holographic or gold textures.  

So, what are you wearing on your nails right now?

Chipped black with garnet ring fingers. I need to do them but I broke one, and then bit 7 more off because they weren't even, so they're all stubby except for the thumb on one hand and the pointer on the other. So... yeah. Not worth it, haha. 

I REALLY like the silver holographic that I'm conjuring up in my head though. Or the neon pink. The texture would just get picked off, so it's out for me.

I just had the silver holographic on with multichrome flakies and wasn't feeling it but I was also trapped inside.  I could do the neon and then put holographic dots on at home later.  Or holo chevrons.

A really badly chipped shimmery nude color. 

I just got a bunch of Zoya mattes, though. I think I will bust one of those babies open today.I'm thinking maybe this one:

Very chipped yellow, which got toned green by my blue hair dye... I really need to redo them. I'm definitely moving on to the dark blues and blacks now though, because winter is here.

Ah is that Loredana?  Gorgeous shade on.  I remember when they originally came out a few years ago I snagged it up.  Love it but the mattes chip super fast on me, unlike the pixie dusts which wear like iron!

Yep! I did read that about chipping in some of the reviews but every single nail polish I have ever tried chips super fast on me, so I figured it didn't matter.

I will have to try the pixie dusts!

OOH!  WANT.

They discontinued them!  If you can find them (and dont' mind textured nails that are sparkly) snag them up!  I always wear them on vacation because they can go for a week easily.

With the mattes, I would do two layers of it, then a layer of top coat, then another layer of the matte.  Seems to make it last a bit longer.

And yes, I can tell a nail polish color on sight.  I'm nuts

That's one of the colors I bought during their Luv Earth Sale.

Oh, perfect, I will try this!

I just go the press release for their summer collection, nice and bright!

I have a Barbie pink on right now that I'm actually not a huge fan of on my fingernails but like it on my toes.

I usually wear a very pale pink or blush.

I'm no fun.

ashley8918

oooooooh, I want this one too!

Damn you, you bad influence!

I have neon coral on my toes right now and I love it but I refuse to have the same color on my fingers and toes haha

Me too lol

I have this on my toes:

I finally painted my toes the other day since it's starting to be sandal season, but I haven't painted my nails in a while. 

I've been a big fan of glitter lately because when it chips you can't really tell and then I can just paint over it easily. I'm so lazy with my nails haha. 

lacqueredlover

Now I"m thinking I will do the hot pink, then later do neon yellow dots in a chevron.  I forgot I have a beauty blogger event tomorrow and I'm one of the few that mainly focuses on nails so I have to have cool nails or they all make fun of me (no not really but I like to have fun nails.)

**Drool** Oh my god, grey is the new black. That is a nice look . . . time to go shopping.

Ugh, I was told I had to take a few weeks off from getting no chip manicures, since my nails were getting weak and brittle. So its been 3 weeks and I feel naked.

I am getting tomorrow and I am thinking neon!

lacqueredlover

Another excellent grey matte that's darker than the Zoya one is ManGlaze Fuggen Ugly.

That's Godiva and it's really pretty depending on your skin tone.  It looks a little weird on me.  I prefer Tomoko which is more of a gold and just baller.

Here, the gold parts are Tomoko in a mixed texture mani I did a few weeks ago:

Fun story, I love painting my nails - fingers and toes. I had an awesome French manicure but chipped my nail while playing disc golfing so right now I have nothing on my fingers. But I painted my big toes a royal purple and my other little toes a creamy green - pastel maybe? Well the fun part was I did the same with my boyfriend. He lets me paint his toenails as long as no one he knows knows. I don't mind at all because it's just fun doing this with him and it's our own little thing. Plus his toes are cute :-D

Do you do gel or acrylics?  Because that definitely would weaken your nails.  

JennyColada

I've been doing gel for a while, and usually just get a regular french manicure. I'm considering doing a color (I have an appt in 3 hours), but DH says he likes the white tips.

Do a color!  Be bold!  I vote for purple!

UGH, YES. I love the black ones! My nails are way too short, though. I'd have to do falsies.

I think its gels. Where you put your hands under the light?

 

Any tips to keep nails strong?
