Hello my beautiful readers and blog watchers!
So sorry i havent been posting as often as Id like. Im really busy this semester, well busy according to my time management skills. lols. So I must make this blog short. =(
I did a manicure in O.P.I from Nicki Minaj's collection-"FLY". I seriously couldnt wait to put this polish on! i put it on 30 mins before i had to be at work so excuse the messyness. So my thoughts on this polish is that its a good formula. I dont have this kind of teal-blue polish. It really is such a pretty color! The formula is pretty good. Not too thick or too runny. I did 2 thin coats which made the polish look more sheer than Id like. I was attemtpting to go for the opaque look. From all the other reviews ive read about, 2 coats was what it needed to be opaque. Well ill try it next time!

ReplyDeleteHow do I deal with my unruly cuticles? They overtake half of my nail, but whenever I try to push them back, trim, or cut them, they just peal and bleed. I just want to be able to see my entire nail!

p.s. i love this blog. very very cute.
Hi there Nimble-Jack! Welcome to my blog! your my first follower! hooray!
ReplyDeleteYou pose a very good question! Well it depends do you push them when they are dry? or do you soak them in warm water?
My regime: i use Essie's Disappearing Trick Cuticle remover about once a week. So I apply this on my cuticle prior to soaking my fingers in lukewarm water. I apply then i put my nails in the bowl.Preferably on the hotter side. I soak until the water gets cooler.
Also your nutrition has a lot do with your nails health as well? Are you taking a multivitamin? What are you using to push them back?
I hope this has helped in someway! thanks for stopping by!

I guess the last couple times I tried it, I didn't soak them first, but I have the same problem when I go get them done at a nail salon. They usually end up peeling worse if I go to the salon even after they've been soaked and oiled. So idk what to do... Meerdums said I shouldn't get them cut because thats what makes them peel, but they're peeling now and I haven't even pushed them back! They just have a mind of their own!
ReplyDeleteI do take prenatal vitamins which makes my nails grow really fast and strong, but unfortunately it also makes the cuticles grow fast and strong too lol! oh and I usually use a wooden tool to push them back because they're a little bit softer than the metal tools.
Hey there so I found a great article on stubborn cuticles! Take a read at it. She talks about doing a weekly routine in your case maybe 3x a week where you soak for about 15 mins in warm water and olive oil. She also talk about a great DIY cuticle scrub..
ReplyDeleteI also massage cuticle oil every night before bed.
xoxo
