NAIL POLISH THREAD!!!

[diet_poison]

Do you like to do your nails, f!s?

Tell me (feel free to include pics of said nails, or just pics of the colors you like) what you like to do with them! Fingers? Toes? Both? Bright or muted? Sparkly? Patterned? Classic? Something else entirely?

Personally, my favorite is to just paint mine black. It looks like obsidian after the top coat. Sometimes I will use a really pretty shade of blue or green that I find in my mom's nail polish drawer. Strangely, I rarely stray outside of the blue/green color group other than black, except to do something funky like crackle (which doesn't look as cool on me as it does on everybody else; I'm bad at nail polish).

I do my fingernails on-and-off year-round, and my toes only in the summer (when it's warm enough to go out in flip-flops). Last summer my mom took me to get a pedicure for my birthday and I got an absolutely gorgeous shade of blue done that I wish I had for myself.

Oh, I'm fond of silver but I've never tried going straight-up silver before. I did try a sort of shiny steel gray that my mom had last week, and it was really cool, but not quiiiite what I would call ideal for a metallic shade. I should explore metallics more, though. Metallic dark gray is also really cool.

Here's a pic of the polish I got last summer. I don't usually go for the composite ones, I'm usually more of a solid-color person (though sometimes with silver glitter on top because why not), but I really liked this one for toes.

Re: NAIL POLISH THREAD!!!

[nightscale]

Have I ever told you that I love your nail polish choices? Because I love your nail polish choices.

Re: NAIL POLISH THREAD!!!

[elaminator]

Thank you! I've certainly spent enough money on those nail polish choices...someone should appreciate them. :p

Re: NAIL POLISH THREAD!!!

[diet_poison]

No, no it is not too much! This is fantastic and I loved looking at all the polishes! (Was glad to see you were online tonight after I posted the thread!)

I'm bookmarking this. So many cool ideas omg.

(Also, I think Essie's Go Overboard is one of the colors my mom has that I like using!!)

Re: NAIL POLISH THREAD!!!

[elaminator]

I had to limit myself (I wish I was kidding) but I think I did pretty good! lmao.

Go Overboard is a super cool color! That color (and similar ones) is one of my absolute favorite for nail polish. And it looks great on pretty much anyone. It's very flattering.

Re: NAIL POLISH THREAD!!!

[sarillia]

My fingernails are painted at all times. As soon as my current polish is too cracked I take it off and replace it with a different color.

I definitely stick to muted colors for the most part. I like metallics too. I also have one sparkly purple one and I wouldn't mind getting more sparkly ones. I need to buy more colors. I'm cheap so I only have one bottle that I paid for myself. The rest were given to me and there isn't much of them.

My favorite brand is Zoya. I've got Cynthia, Pasha, and Gemma.

Re: NAIL POLISH THREAD!!!

[elaminator]

I love Zoya, they're high quality! If only they weren't quite so expensive. They're worth it, though.

Cynthia is beautiful. I think I have one like Gemma; it isn't the most flattering color on me but it's still lovely.

Re: NAIL POLISH THREAD!!!

[nightscale]

Oooooh, those are all lovely colours, the Pasha is a bit too pale for me but I'm sure it looks wonderful.

Re: NAIL POLISH THREAD!!!

[diet_poison]

oh gosh, I love that first one. So pretty.

Re: NAIL POLISH THREAD!!!

[kallanda_lee]

I do, but I don't do much fancy things. I do have a bunch of colors though, so sometimes I just have each finger in a different colour. Also glitter but it damages my nails.

Lately been wearing a lot of purple.

Re: NAIL POLISH THREAD!!!

[diet_poison]

Purple is a good color, I need to try some purple. There's some gorgeous purple linked in this thread. What is your favorite purple?

Doing a different color on each nail sounds so fun honestly. I should try that.

Also, how/why does glitter damage your nails??

Re: NAIL POLISH THREAD!!!

[nightscale]

I only have a few nail polish colours these days, I had to kick out a bunch several years ago because they were dry and horrible, but my current ones are:

17's Supreme Shine purple, I love purple in general and this colour is really nice. It also lasts pretty well.

Revlon's purple glittery nail polish, which I absolutely love but also chips pretty badly sometimes. I typically have to put a layer or two of clear polish over the top to prevent any really bad chipping.

Revlon's blue glittery nail polish, which has the same issues as the one above but I love the colour. And the sparkly glitteryness.

And Revlon's blue nail polish, this one is actually pretty good at not chipping. The first time I wore it it actually lasted a full week with no chips, since then though it seems to have heard me say that and chips after a couple of days. I love the colour though and when I was searching for a nice blue I snapped this one up.

I also have a plain black polish(that I couldn't find pictures for) that I love to wear as well and quite often default too because it's an easy colour to co-ordinate with and it's one of my better lasting polishes.

Re: NAIL POLISH THREAD!!!

[elaminator]

Ooo, that last Revlon is gorgeous! Reminds me of a polish I have; it's a great color.

And I have the glittery purple Revlon! I think I've only used it once so far (I have a lot of polish...) but it was nice.

Re: NAIL POLISH THREAD!!!

[elaminator]

Oh, and the one I'm currently wearing. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gYnXyC2ccok/Uf_uPTD27nI/AAAAAAAAVuk/4tvsVl4p-D8/s1600/Zoya+Sunshine+1.JPG

Got this on clearance last week along with http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7XB3PShiBAc/Uf_YDQJ_mII/AAAAAAAAVoc/vD37pCP1r0o/s1600/Zoya+Pepper+1.JPG

Haven't tried Pepper yet, but I'm adoring Zoya's PixieDust line and now I kind of want them all. They're so neat and look so cool in person.

Re: NAIL POLISH THREAD!!!

[diet_poison]

Oooh, I really like Pepper. What a neat color.

Re: NAIL POLISH THREAD!!!

[writerserenyty]

I wear nail polish, but I haven't much lately because... idek why. Maybe I should go pain them now...

My favorite is a bright electric blue that was super cheap but somehow lasts long.

I've tried doing nail art before but I'm honestly awful at it.

Re: NAIL POLISH THREAD!!!

[diet_poison]

I would fail badly at doing nail art, but I've had it done on me before and damn is it nice.

Re: NAIL POLISH THREAD!!!

[teaphile]

I do my toes in the summer and my fingers for special occasions (I find my hands feel dirty when I wear polish. It's odd.)

I like glossy opaques. Right now I have orange, cement grey, blood red, pine green, light green, and a purple so dark it looks black.

Re: NAIL POLISH THREAD!!!

[(Anonymous)]

I paint my nails every once in a while as the whim strikes me. I just took off a chipped coat of light green a couple nights ago, and I'm thinking I'll probably repant in the next day or so with a nice slate-blue that almost matches my eye color.

My mother teases me about my crazy nail polish colors on occasion. In her mind, anything not in the pink/red/maroon family is for toenails only (and she does occasionally borrow my "crazy" colors for her toes). I, on the other hand, own pretty much every color except pink/red/maroon. I mostly gravitate towards the purple/blue/green family, with occasional forays into orange and coral, and I have a couple grey polishes I love. I can only do light colors, though, because I have stubby hands and dark polish really emphasizes that even when I grow my nails out.

All the polishes I own are either Sinful Colors or Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear. They're both cheap and durable, and I love the color selection.

Re: NAIL POLISH THREAD!!!

[diet_poison]

haha, you sound like me! I'm not so much into the traditional colors (though non-traditional shades of red can be very cool). I think just a few decades ago, at least in the US, there was a tendency to think of anything not traditional as rebellious. Maybe a little of that is still sticking around. I had a job once that would only let women wear "traditional" nail polish (they also only allowed gold or silver earrings)...it was kinda odd.

Re: NAIL POLISH THREAD!!!

[elaminator]

Oh, and about the nail art...

You can get incredibly cheap nail decals and tools off ebay (search 'nail decals' and 'nail wheels' if you're interested. A couple years ago I bought about 10 nail wheels full of rhinestones and the like as well as a couple dotting tools for about $12, $15). Most the time you can even get free shipping for them. Actually, ebay is a decent place to buy polish in general; wouldn't have expected it, but there you go.

Re: NAIL POLISH THREAD!!!

[inkdust]

I never got good at painting my nails, and I'm also lazy and hate when they chip, so I don't do it often, but I got this color that I really like - almost the same as my skin tone but metallic, so it's subtle but really shiny and very forgiving if I mess up.

http://www.abeautifulsecret.com/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=5079

I also got this one that I love, but it's definitely not forgiving if I mess up!

(Sorry if the links are bad, working this on a phone is terrible)

Re: NAIL POLISH THREAD!!!

[elaminator]

The first one probably looks great on you! I love neutrals on other people, but they usually just make me look washed out.

Oh, and I have the second. It's a great color. Very unique and cute.
