french manicure with white polish

Posted by: 1angel3 May 31 2008, 09:43 PM

My toe nails is hot pink but my finger nails isn't polish.

Posted by: bbyxchinq Jun 1 2008, 06:27 PM

I don't usually paint my nails, and if i do it's a soft color -- nothing too "exotic".

Recently though, i bought a black nail polish merely because it made me feel strong/worthwhile [which is the antithesis of what i usually feel]. It's ridiculous really to feel like that, but it works for me - at least for now.

Posted by: xClarisse Jun 1 2008, 07:07 PM

well my finger nails are white.
and my mom hates it :]

but my toenails are silver :]

Posted by: karmakiller Jun 1 2008, 08:07 PM

I have longer nails, so I painted the tips white and the rest light pink.

Well I'm guessing because we use our hands constantly, and we don't want our nail polish chipping on our clients. I supose I could understand that.

i have a goldish yellow on my toes. I thought it was green because when you look at the polish it looks like a lime green (and its a glass bottle) but when i put it on my toes it was more yellow, then i noticed the name mellow yellow.

Alright i had this nail pen to do little designs and the polish already started coming off in a few hours.
Not to sure about the name at the moment but its definitely not worth buying.

Posted by: manny-the-dino Jul 25 2009, 12:16 AM

^You should put a coat of clear nail polish on top of it so it protects it.

Posted by: IWontRapeYou Jul 25 2009, 12:17 AM

is it by sally hansen? I have some too, you have to put 1-2 clear top coats on it after it dries

Posted by: Gigi Nov 29 2009, 02:26 AM

OPI Nail Envy (Maintenance). It's surprisingly shiny and the shine lasts for WEEKS if it doesn't chip off...and it's not even marketed as a top coat.

For the record, I HATE HATE HATE Seche Vite top coat and Sally Hansen Megashine. They peel off within hours (even after I've freshly removed polish with acetone), and imparts a blue cast that's super noticeable on nude polishes. Don't get the hype.

Trying to grow out my nails...if exam stress doesn't get to me and cause me to bite my cuticles, that is :(

Oh nooooo, that sponge technique never worked for me. This was much simpler in my opinion. I just painted the silver layer first and before it completely dries, I paint the very tip with a blue nail polish. Before that layer dries also, I used another blue (lighter but still pretty dark) and went over the silver and the first blue. The silver showed up because second blue was pretty sheer. And if it doesn't turn out gradient-y enough I light dabbed some more silver.

Dunno if you understand what I just said haha O_O

Can y'all tell I really like cremes? I majorly dislike super shimmery/frosty, brush-stroke inducing colours, barf.

I LOVE THAT.
that is so cute!! (:

and i like your choices of colors. i like those type of colors too. i really wanna get some orly nail polish, but they're expensive compared to what i can get for cheaply at sasa lol, but those are so shit after like, 1 use. and sometimes the quality isnt good so you get these visible brush strokes ): sucks for being poor

Sooooo awesome.

Orly "Gumdrop"


UGGGH So pretty. I'm wearing Essie's Greenport, which is similar to that but it's a little darker. I'm so sad because I'm half-way through my bottle and it's limited edition.. cry.gif

Julia, have you tried finding discount stores? We have a ton of nail supply stores here that sell them for around 1/2 (if not slightly less) than retail.

Thanks Julia! Luckily in Vancouver OPI's are cheap (I saw them in Mannings going for like $132HKD? omg...), and sometimes I can find Orly in Winners for super cheap. But that particular Orly colour I had to buy in HK because it's sooo hard to find Orly collections in full in Canada.

It was $120HKD. Sob. sad.gif Still, I couldn't pass up such a gorgeous colour even for that price!

Haha I loooove going through the nail polish piles in Sasa, though I never end up buying any of them except for the occasional Revlon. Almost bought a couple ones last time, but didn't at the last minute.

Oh, weird question...I dunno if you experience this, but in HK my nail polish bubbles SO BADLY. I get like 30-40 bubbles if I'm not careful. Ughh. Glad I'm back in Canada now hah


Thanks Tina! Just looked up Greenport (must've come out before I started my n/p obsession) and it's gorgeous! Luckily there are a lot of colours like this nowadays so you can hopefully find a dupe? Maybe China Glaze For Audrey? which is supposedly a dupe for Orly Gumdrop. I actually wish I could get the Essie one cus the Orly one is super temperamental, sometimes it applies smoothly and other times it's a goopy mess.

oh. i dont think i've ever had a bubbling problem here. but interestingly, when i went to thailand i got serious bubble problems. it was so weird lol.

ive never seen nail polish in mannings (or i just dont look hard enough.. i usually end up in the foods section)

Posted by: Gigi Aug 16 2010, 03:41 PM

I've only seen in it the Mannings in Elements, but it's not like I was gonna buy any of them anyway...$120, psht

OMG Gigi... gumdrop is beautiful! Does Orly dry fairly quickly?

damn I want to buy the whole China Glaze up and away line from amazon.. I never found the time to go buy it, even though it came out a while ago D; Look up China Glaze's Four Leaf Clover - such a beautiful teal-green... OMG.

I love cremes - I think the shimmery/glittery nail polishes are SO DIFFICULT to get a smooth finish! They look smooth in some lighting, but damn I can still see the brush strokes no matter what! Brush strokes annoy me so much! Damn I need to get some nail polish, but I haven't gotten any for a long time because I've been working at the library for the past 3 years, and my nails (and hands) are so beat up... D; I have to quit after next month though.. So yay I can wear nail polish again and grow out my nails happy.gif

Time to train and get my nail technician license... LMAO "BEAUTIFUL NAILLLL".

Posted by: Gigi Aug 18 2010, 08:50 PM

LMAO. omg i know what you mean...I hate not getting a smooth finish. It's nearly impossible with shimmer/frosts! I don't mind dark shimmers though, it sort of glows in the sun but indoors looks like a flat creme.

Woot for quitting your library job and having nice nails! haha. I totally wouldn't work in food/drink cus I can't do my nails, and I'm totally addicted right now. that's a dealbreaker!

ooOOOooO Four Leaf Clover looks super pretty! I wish I could buy China Glaze readily in Canada :( it's hard to find!

Orly dries pretty quickly, but I have trouble with Gumdrop because it can be pretty thick and therefore cause some drying problems. I just have to be super careful with application!

Chanel Vertigo, but I absolutely love all of these colors. Highly recommended if you're willing to pay $25+/color.
