My Nail Obsessions

Need more help ladies

Ok ladies, I need your help again. What are some good top coats and bases coats to use? Ive been using the Sech line but the problem I have with the top coat is that it gets gloppy and when it dries it pulls the color back from the tips. The problem with the base coat is that it still stains my nails. What do you use and would recommend and not recommend?

With my previous problem with my cuticles I wanted to give you an update. I trimmed my cuticles and ended up taking chunks out so no more for me, I have been using an oil treatment and pushing them back GENTLY. Hopefully after doing this and working with them more they will look great!!

Have a wonderful day!!!!!

I need help ladies

As most of you know I am extremely new to the whole nail thing. My problem is my cuticles, they are huge and messy. I have never had a manicure in my life and don't know what I need to do to take care of them. Anyone have any ideas or know of any videos that I can watch to help maintain them? Also anyone know of home whitening that actually works?

Pink and black konad

My secret admirer got me some special Konad polish so I tried it out.

Started out painting my nails pink.

Then I used the black and my BM plate BM21 and stamped the stars on the pink.

Add your top coat and your done.

Have a great day!!!

I want a Dream

Kandee Johnson is an awesome blogger/makeup artist/ youtuber! She just posted a blog here about a new polish that's going to be part of the Oscar's grab bags. She has detailed images and descriptions about the polish on her blog so I'm not going to repeat it here. If you have not heard about this polish its called Dream and they inspire you to follow your dreams. They also work with an orphanage in Malawi for parent less children's dreams to come true. They seem like an amazing company and I would LOVE to try their polish. If anyone has heard anything or has any of the polish let me know, I am interested in making a future purchase but at $12 a bottle I need to make sure its a good investment. Check out Kandee's blog and the Dream Website!
