I really hate the feeling of polish on my fingernails I keep my nails short for the sake of practicality

My polish would start chipping after about 3 days, but even that seems like a waste to me. You sit up trying to do the shit perfectly, letting it dry is ALWAYS a bitch, then it's jacked THREE days later - wtf?? It's just too much effort for too little "glory".

I've been painting my nails since I was old enough to hold and use a nail polish brush and my mother used to do my nails for me before I could do it myself if I requested it. I don't even feel it anymore...

Probably a bad sign for me.

I don't mind it on my toes, but I can't be bothered with upkeep, polish I put on in Dec 2005 was still there in April of 2006 now THAT is bad!!!

ZombieKitten said:

I once did that. Luckily I wasn't wearing sandals at all during the period of time I did it in.

Protege said:

I probably did

that must be my problem too. i don't know why, but no matter WHAT i do paint on my fingernails starts chipping the next day. but paint on my toenails can stay for weeks!! i ALWAYS have my toes painted, usually red, or a bright pink, or a deep purple/maroon/burgundy shade. i haven't had a chance to paint them lately so the paint is chipping a bit and i'm very ashamed of that. but i'm going to go to sleep right now so it will have to wait til tomorrow again.

SexOnWheels said:

Oh yeah, same. My toenails stay nice for a long time, and I almost always have them painted. Often intense colors, thought right now they're pale pink too.

Using a base coat and top coat helps quite a bit.

I haven't polished my nails in years and it was something I use to love to do but it got to be too much work in up keep for me. The polish chipping after a day or two, breaking a nail and the thing that pissed me off the most was after carefully polishing my nails... a smudge. so I go natural or maybe a clear top coat.

Do you paint your fingernails or toenails? Yes, both
What kind do you use? usually OPI
What's your favorite colors? Depends on my moods

I used to have silk tips, but I took those off because I'm just not patient enough to get them filled every two to three weeks. They've almost grown out, and I just trim them every few days and use a clear polish.

My toes are in deep need of a pedicure, but I trimmed the nails painted them red yesterday.

OPI is always good, but I use a lot of Revlon polish too.

I do. Maybe I'm not using the right one. Though I've tried several over the years.

Speaking of nail polish. I recently stumbled upon this Orly nail polish ad and I was totally appalled! They have a 6 pack collection with such nail laquers as 'take him to the cleaners', 'it's not me it's you', 'one-night stand'. I can't say I'm surprised what with the constant stripping of value done to anything sacred in this consumer entrenched nation.

What do you all think of this?

greenpixies said:

you're right, I can't say that I'm all that surprised.

greenpixies said:

That is ridiculous!

My "" paints my toe nails all the time. I havent a clue what brand, he orders them and peels the labels off or he makes his own polish.
I like to paint my finger nails but I kinda gave up on it since I cant have it on at work.

I discovered yesterday painting your nails with Krazy Glue gives the same look as if you had just spent hours buffing them. It looks GREAT. I'm srsly.

FruitToAttractBears said:

Krazy Glue? okay this might be a stupid question but how do you take it off?

greenpixies said:

it's nail polish. big deal.

evenstar3 said:

It's a worldview. It is a big deal.

greenpixies said:

i fail to see how tongue-in-cheek nail polish names constitute a world view.

evenstar3 said:

Yeah, I guess you do.

greenpixies said:

you're over analyzing.

greenpixies said:

Woah.

I personally find nail polish to be extremely racist AND rapist and I also believe its one of the main reasons so many Americans go with out health insurance.

Oh, forgot to add, that I also stronglyu belive that Revlon Toasted Almond Quick Dry Nail Polish is the reason for the Black Album.
