Beautiful nails and colours @Kinkypup!

@Lovehoney_Brenna @Cassii thank you so much! It’s a chameleon mirror powder from amazon, got it a little while now but hopefully they still sell it because I love it!

@MsSubExperimenter thank you!! And I’ve had an obsession with Dalmatians since a child so whenever I see anything with them on I have to buy it!! Reminds me of my very own dalmatian who passed away a couple of years ago.

@MsR thank you so much! Always on the look out for more pretty gel ideas

How does a powder work? I’ve only ever used polish!

@Cassii I think it only works with gel polish but you paint them as normal with any colour polish but black shows up the best. Then either put on a no wipe top coat or just dry wipe the tacky layer off with a lint free wipe. Next rub the chrome powder really well in to the nail dust away excess then add another layer of top coat. I’m explaining jt really badly I’m sorry

That makes perfect sense :grin: thank you, I’ve never used gels so it’s a new one on me!

My new gel nail set arrived today: the lamp, a couple of colours, a base coat and both matt & usual top layers.
Something to take it all off with, and a handful of other bits and pieces.
No idea how to use any of it…
Hopefully I’ll get chance to play around with it all this weekend… I’ll post the results, if they are suitable for daytime viewing… :+1: :nail_care: :kiss:

@Ace12345 we can’t see them yet, but I guess they are awaiting approval.
Hope you are ok at uni with covid doing the rounds… keep safe x

Lovely stuff, @Kinkypup - very impressive. I like the matching iridescent ring, too: nice touch! :sunglasses:

My pretty nails are still as good as when I did them a couple of weeks ago. Is there any issue with leaving nail polish on for a long time?

1 Like

If there is I’d like to know too since my blue toe nails have been there for a good few weeks now. I don’t think there are any problems with wearing polish for a long time though

Yeah, no problems that I’m aware of. Two weeks - that’s brilliant, Ian :+1:

As a result of the lockdown I now get to keep my awesome Halloween nails for as long as they last! Silver linings.

I’ve had a go at some new nail polish too that i’m hoping will last, the pics should be up once approved. I will admit i messed up the right hand a bit too much so took off what’s in the pics and just did them the same base coat as my left. Overall i think i did ok for my first attempt trying even a basic pattern (the one on my thumb is actually relatively fancy i think, i did a spiral)

@PleasureDrone thank you very much, oddly enough I’m become much neater (neater not neat :joy:) since I’ve been using gel… It used to go everywhere wiht regular polish.
Thank you, it was a graduation present from my dog off my parents (the dalmatian)

I was going to say, yes - your toes go green one by one and fall off, but others have already been along to reassure you.
I think polish on toe nails lasts a lot longer then on fingernails. No adverse effects that I know of.

:see_no_evil: Wow! My finger nails didn’t survive day 1 back at work in tact. Toe nails always last a lot longer but I don’t tend to get my toes out as I have what have been described in the past as, “Chubby Midget Toes”.

Perhaps they need a polish to make them feel a bit better about themselves :rofl:

It worked for my toes :joy:
