What nails are you sporting today?

[picchi]

Tis the curse of a perfectionist I'm afraid, always self critical and never totally happy with your own work. Saying that, if I squint my eyes whilst looking at it, it looks near as dammit perfect, so I'll settle for that or else I'll drive myself bonkers!

I think we may suffer from the same nail OCD. I see errors in my nails that others don't, but if I'm not happy I just have to redo it, or it bugs me all day, lol.

I was thinking.... Have you thought about using stripping tape? It would be a little tricky and you would have to plan out how you would layer the colours but you could end up with perfect straight lines.

Here are a few links:

ooh, i'm WELL impressed with those Picchi, I've never used striping tape before. Do I just buy any old colour or is there one specifically designed to be able to remove once you've got the desired straight line?

Here is a pic of the fuzzy nails wet. My ring-finger and middle-finger where just under the tap. My index finger is dry and my pinky was wet around 3 mins before this picture was taken.

You can also see how the nails are holding up. I did this mani last night and although I have been careful with my nails, I have done all the things I normally do. The little bits of glitter are still in the fuzzy bits but they just didn't show up in this pic :?: I guess because of the camera angle.

Thanks for that Picchi.

I like them in a strange sort of way.

Simples!! Normally go for crazy stuff, but have soaked off my acrylics and gone back to natural nails for a wee change.

This is girlish Desert Sands layered with light elegance, with a little Konad on ring finger

Feeling quite pleased with myself after my daughter came back from school yesterday saying that everyone loved her nails and she got lots of comments!!!

Yes let them totally dry other wise your TIO will lift! You can kinda see where they are drying as they change colour slightly x
