Fingernails: Tony & Tina Inner Love *
Toenails: OPI Black Tie Optional

* Inner Love is sort of like a pastel UD X, it's a semi-sheer, pale rosy
pink with a lot of gold shimmer, looks mostly gold unless you look at it
from the right angle, then the pink shows up). It is pretty but it has
CHIPPED after only about 3 days. Not nice. It usually wears better than
this, but it may have chipped because the nail is kind of messed up. One
nail started peeling, so it's a little bumpy, and that's the only place
the polish is chipping. The other 9 nails look fine. I may still take it
off and redo them, though, because I have that new Essie one from my
little Pure Beauty haul yesterday, and I want to try that one out.

I forgot to take nail polish with me when I went to the salon on Tues,
so I used the store's Sally Hansen Chrome polish in copper. Only thing
is it doesn't look like the name, it looks more platinum or silver, and
I don't usually like or wear such light colors.

But for 7 days I guess it won't kill me.

Two coats of Nail Magic. No color. My nails have suddenly gotten very soft
and breakable--what's up with that??? So I'm giving them some space to do
their stoopid thing until the Nail Magic whips them back into shape.

Phooey.

Are you using AHAs on your hands by any chance? They can weaken your nails.
Nail Magic will get your nails in shape pretty fast.

The health food store guy recommended BioSil, which is supposed to help bones,
nails, joints, etc. But if need be I'll add the MSM as well.

Thanks for the rec, Maladicta.

Nope. Only use either B&BW creams, TBS butters, or Neutrogena hand cream. I
think the problem is hormonal, actually.

If you think so, talk to the doc about a thyroid panel (hypothyroidism being the
source of my own nail problems).

I'm wearing that Revlon ColorStay in the nude color. Not sure if I like this
stuff. While it does, indeed, stay on very well, it SCRATCHES.

Has anyone else noticed this? I have all these scratches over the polish. I
can't think of anything heavy-duty I've done lately that would have caused
these scratches. They didn't appear until about the 3rd day after I used this
polish, so I know I didn't get these scratches while the polish was still wet.

I do notice these subtle gray scratches or cracks after a few days on the
Sheer Camisole color, but not much on the Endless Pink shade because it
isn't as light. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has this problem. Still
it's not too noticeable until maybe the 5th day of wearing, and I still like
that it doesn't chip, so that's worth it for me.

It is a kind of sparkly russet-y red. It is one of my favorite colors.

Today I played chemist and mixed OPI Bubble Bath (sheer white-pink)
and Essie Amalfi (sheer pink-gold) together in the same bottle and
used it. Gorgeous sheer pink with just a hint of gold shimmer!

That sounds so pretty. I love Bubble Bath! I haven't tried mixing it
with anything but it's nice for that "my nails are polished but don't
really look like it" kind of manicure, that I tend to do when I don't
feel like worrying about or maintaining a bright or dark color.

Until this morning, my fingers were OPI Rosy Future (LOVING this
color!), toes were UD Gash. Later on, I'm planning to put Essie French
Francs (sheer, pale pinkish shade with a lot of shimmer) on fingers, and
I don't know what color on toes yet.

Mary Kay Downtown Brown. (I also have the matching lipstick.) It's a
Java type of rich brown polish with a bit of pearl-essence glow in it.
I like it because it's glowy and dark, but there's *NO* frollicy,
flirty glitter in it. I only like glitter in lighter colored polish
and not in dark ones, so this color is good. The shimmer is mature and
not that girly sparkle, thankfully!
