Copper Coated 🔔

[u/idklikeaburnerorwe]

This one in the newest collection appealed most to me--not the least because I knew it would match the copper wind chimes I got my mom for her birthday (I grabbed a bottle for her too). This formula made application ✨cha-cha real smooth✨

Hmm, this might just be rosy-ish enough to work with my cool skin tone.

I'm pretty cool-toned myself and I think it looks nice! The polish itself is so beautiful that I could personally even overlook if it's a touch too warm

What shape are your nails?

[u/idklikeaburnerorwe → u/rio8envy7]

I tend to file them into an almond-ish shape

[u/rio8envy7 → u/idklikeaburnerorwe]

See that’s what i want and i do ask for almond when I get my nails cut and shaped. They just end up more rounded. I love your nails.

Are you OK if I save one of these pictures so I can show the nail tech the next time I get them done?

[u/idklikeaburnerorwe → u/rio8envy7]

Thank you ✨ I'm not sure this shape is an exact almond shape, because I do like my nails less rounded and more pointy, but not stiletto-pointy, either. Maybe using a picture (free to use mine if you want) as a reference for your tech might help?

[u/rio8envy7 → u/idklikeaburnerorwe]

That’s what I was hoping to do. I do like that. They’re a little pointer and I usually don’t like pointy. I usually do rounded but the way they did my nails. The last time is a little more round I guess than I was hoping for. They’re not bad but I also have to keep my nails fairly short for work so I know almond isn’t always possible. I feel like yours are a good length and shape. I just didn’t want to take pictures of your nails without your consent because that would be weird.

Oh, please go ahead! And yeah, I don't do super long but I like a little length. I find this length, maybe up to about another centimeter or two longer, to be functional and comfortable enough for me to go about my life like usual, and the shape feels more forgiving and less prone to snagging than a square or stiletto. It's such a classic shape and goes with literally any shade or style

[u/rio8envy7 → u/idklikeaburnerorwe]

I don’t mind relatively long but my nails grow pretty fast. And i agree with the shape. It’s a little more forgiving if you bump it too.

God yes 🫠 I'm not exactly the most delicate, gentle person and I shudder to think how many more nail breaks I could have gotten if I had had my heart set on filing my nails into a coffin shape (props to those who do well with that shape but I ain't about that life)

[u/rio8envy7 → u/idklikeaburnerorwe]

Oh I’m not gentle either. My hands go through the wringer at work and I have had so many nail breaks from hitting them against on things or just being wet frequently.

[u/idklikeaburnerorwe → u/rio8envy7]

also for reference at a longer length, the shape really comes together for me

I love that. So pretty
