There’s probably no surprise to you at all that I’m the vainest person I know. Really, I could rack my brain for days, and no-one else I know would be able to top me. Me putting on eye liner before I go to the gym is a running joke among my colleagues. And if you’ve been reading my blog for the past few weeks, you might have picked up on my growing nail polish obsession. It’s turning into a surprisingly expensive obsession, let me tell you, especially since I discovered O.P.I nail polishes (plus all those other little bits and bobs that you really really want need to keep around). So I made it the theme of day 13 of my 365 day photo project! Are you feeling my hand modeling skills?
Now, let me walk you through this, left to right:
1: Nfu-Oh’s Cuticle remover. This makes gunky, gnarly and dry cuticles – well – disappear! Miss Airam already wrote a great post about this one, so I’ll hand you over to her if you want to know more about it.
2: O.P.I Nail Envy Nail Strengthener for sensitive and peeling nails. My nails just don’t chip at all when I use this one. It’s perfection!
3: O.P.I Top Coat. Shiny Goodness.
4: Gosh #540 “Ocean”. The color of the day.
Now, I’m not going to pretend I’m some sort of expert here – Let’s be honest, I’m the newbiest newb that ever newbed – but I do know where to send you if you want to learn how to do a great manicure.
First of all: Nails for dummies. Feeling a bit more advanced? How to make your manicure last. Fretting about getting the nail shape wrong? This is how you get it right.
I’d add more links, but come on. They’re nails, not brain surgery. You can figure it out from here. Have fun! ;)
P.S: I cannot recommend glass nail files enough. They make such a difference. Mine has little Swarovski crystals on it, because I’m fancy.
Så flink du er til å holde neglene dine fine! Jeg bruker også en del knæsje neglelakker, men selv om jeg har skapet fullt av diverse oljer, filer og neglebåndsfjernere synes jeg sånt er bare pes – så det ender alltid opp med å stå urørt :P
“O.P.I Nail Envy Nail Strengthener for sensitive and peeling nails. My nails just don’t chip at all when I use this one. It’s perfection!” Denne kunne jeg virkelig ha hatt godt av å prøve siden mine negler fliser seg all the time!
I SOOOO needed to do my nails so thanks for posting this. Also I’ve been too lazy to look for a better way to do my nails-as Im very hard on my hands & it would be great to find a way for it to last longer!!
LOVE your blog BTW! <3 M
Thank you so Much M, and thanks for the link you on your blog! :) <3
