Nail polish people! <3

[dragonfly]

I looove nail polish. Been an awful nail biter since I was a kid so I keep mine professionally done. But I only treat myself to a pedicure once or twice a year, I'm happy to paint my toes at home. I love fun polish and the more sparkles the better!

What about you? xoxo bonus points show a pic of your nails!

I don't really do my nails. Less than once a year probably. My sisters though are addicted to doing nails.

I need to keep mine short because of my hobbies (aikido and clarinet playing) so no fancy nails for me. I also find that nail polish makes my nails dry, even when I use acetone free remover, so I don't like to paint my nails often. I sometimes use clear polish and very occasionally coloured one for parties etc. but mostly I just go with natural.

I love looking at videos of nail art, however! Some of those are super impressive and it would be fun to have cute nails every now and then.

I haven't worn nail polish in over 10 years. If it weren't for the gosh awful smell I probably still would cuz there are some really pretty colors out there. There was a time in 2003-2005 that despite the smell, I liked to put on black nail polish a lot.

I would love to paint my nails, but I have a bad tendency to chip the paint. So I just don't bother.

ill paint my nails when I know im not going ot be working with my hands

Pedis..ive been trying to keep up but im going ot have to give in pretty soon since I go crazy when I feel anything rough.

Nail colours--I typically go for pink, purple, blue, golden tones.  I don't like red and I don't like flat/matte colours.

I love nail polish, but between cerebral palsy and arthritis I've never been great at doing them myself. Jay or my mom will paint them for me if I ask, or I sometimes go and get them done. I love quirky colors, glitter and cute details when I do get them done.

Mostly natural. If I wear any nail polish, it's usually black. I also have a beautiful glittery one, and a blue one I really like, but in general I think nail polish limits my choices too much. It will be on my nails for at least a week, and when I have them blue for instance, I can't wear anything with colour during that time because I don't like to wear too much colour at once.

I love the nail polish that shifts colors in different lighting!

I like crafting to I cannot have very long nails - the max comfy length is when the nail is *just* peeking above the end of the finger. 

I tend to fall back on natural pinky beige but will usually default to a soft, metallic-gold base and a clear + glitter topcoat. I find it the most forgiving combo as I do end up chipping the polish with all my crafting!

My fave "glam" colour for special occasions is Rouge-Noir by Chanel - it is a deep red-black and looks fab on my toes!  I normally remove the colour from my fingers the next day and revert back to gold 

Back in the late 90s I bought a Chanel pot of "Satellite" - it was a gold liquid with bits of sparkly glitter... it is long retired, however I saw a pot on Ebay going for CRAZY amounts... 

Heheh and you wonder whay my handle here is "glitterball"

I used to run a nail polish blog and have hundreds and hundreds of bottles of polish that companies sent me to review back in the day. I've had my nails cut to nubs for about 5 years because I always had a tiny baby during that time but now that they're all getting bigger I've grown my nails back out. I LOVE polish and nail art and all that. I don't get to do a lot of self care, so this is one of my only things. I love holos the most.

I love polish but my nails don't. Not only do they chip within minutes they leave my nails so dry ,they just split as soon as you look at them. When I was younger I used to wear a lot - black, usually, then as I got older I would wear other colours. My fave at the moment is a gorgeous lilac-y colour. But I rarely do them any more. And I have never been to get my nails done, ever - I think it will be a waste of time as it just won't last.

I'm a total nail polish addict!  I have more bottles of nail polish than I can probably ever use and I paint my nails with a different color average once a week.  I used to give myself detailed manicures with "gel look" topcoats and 3D shapes i made myself, but since I've had a baby I'm lucky to be able to paint my nails at all

My insta (sig) has my nail pics, as well as my flickr, kitarei1.

I love getting my nails done, but I can only afford to do so every few months. 

Otherwise, I paint them myself - I love Sally Hansen one-step salon manicure polishes because I'm impatient and won't go through all of the extra steps.

When I was younger, I'd sometimes paint my nails, but I haven't done it in years. I rather like the natural look on me, without any sort of polish.
