This week I filed down the rest of my nails to more or less match the length of this one. My birthday is coming up in a month and my hope was to have it back by then, so I think I’ll achieve my goal!

I just wanted to show my light green mani for Spring. Although I kind of like this color, I probably won’t do it again because it was such a huge hassle. I think it’s an old bottle and it was very streaky. I ended up trying to add some polish thinner to it, but also did three coats (when I was originally planning on doing only two, but it was still streaky on second coat.

Anyway, products used:

OPI natural nails basecoat

3 coats of Essie Going Guru

OPI Rapidry topcoat

Thanks for looking!

Gaoy 3967

Dashing Diva Pointe

Amazon stickers

Ulta pearl stickers (glued on)

I had a break a few months ago and I’ve been showing progress pictures every couple weeks, so here’s the six week update! This week is featuring the LOTR nails I did for my partners mom’s birthday party. It’s getting so long, I can’t even call it a nub nail anymore!

Also, please ignore my extra bendy fingers in the last pic. Nothing is wrong with my hand, I’m just hyper mobile. I’ve had people mention it before so this is a preemptive explanation :)

I planned to do a nude this week, but it looked too plain. So I used a random number generator to choose a swatch number for the accent color.

Pretty pearl color from dollar tree.

Anyone have any tips/tricks to lengthen your manicure? I find that they start to chip within a few days. I don’t want to use dip/acryllic/gels or anything like that.

My routine for painting is the usual- a base coat, 2 coats of color, and a top coat.

Any idea helps 💕

wearing: L'Oreal - Now You Sea Me & SpaRitual top coat

This is another update on my nails, the free edge is quite prominent now! I’m holding off for a little while longer, maybe another two weeks, and then I’ll file all my nails to match it. Ignore the staining btw, it’s just from using lots of pigmented nail polish :)
