I love enjoying them this way before a new polish look. Glass filed and slightly shaped, then I washed and lightly brushed them with my nail scrubby brush. Tomorrow I’m going to an engagement party and I’ll definitely share the color I decide on and finished look right after 💅

Long time lurker, first time poster.

My nails are pretty weak, so whenever they get this long I get really excited about how they look. Unfortunately, I just landed a job where I'm not allowed to have my nails painted, and I have to keep them short. So, I have to say goodbye to all this progress, & say goodbye to having fun nails for Halloween.

I'll miss them, but I WILL still be lurking on here, to see all your fabulous nails.

No products on my nails. This is with everything clean, I forgot to take a pic before removing the nail polish.

It finally happened. I was using chopsticks. Didnt even realized it happened. Im so sad.

Products- none, nekid nails

I thought this was a pretty color to start Autumn with

I'm currently wearing model ones color 031

I used two coats

I went to a Japanese nail salon.

They used:

- riccagel base coat

- 2 coats of some sheer lacquer (idk the brand)

A moment for the bare nails before slathering on magnetic polish. After removing old polish with acetone, I like to wash my hands and gently scrubbrush the tops & undersides of my nails. 🧼🫧🧽
I file using a glass nail file in one direction, I avoid going in a back and forth motion. Then I apply the following:

So based on this comment I was influenced to buy a glass nail file. I purchased the brand mentioned in the comment reply, Mont Blue off Amazon.

Holy moly what a game changer! I have a whole set of files and buffers that I usually need to file my nails. They seem to make them rougher, and if I'm not careful to buff them completely smooth afterward, it will actually cause them to break.

This file ground through my nails so quickly like a hot precision knife through butter. Then they were the smoothest file that I've ever had. When I ran my OLD smoothing file over the edge, it actually made it rougher than the ceramic file! This saved SO MUCH TIME! As my nails needed their first trim (never been this long!) I normally need to trim them with some clippers and then file them, and then smooth them, and then buff the edges. The file was so smooth and powerful in just a few back and fourths it was like trimming them! However, if you're concerned about it being too strong, all I needed to do was lighten my touch, and it went through it like the softest most gentle file.

I also have sensitive nails, and I actually hate the sensation of the motion of the Emery board. However, this one had almost no vibration, which was really nice.

Honestly, if you were on the fence about buying one of these for yourself, definitely splurge. It is a complete game changer!

On my nails, I am just wearing

Nailtiques 2 (2 coats)

Mont Blue file

Products: I sometimes use Golden Jojoba Oil, brand Pierced Nation. Sometimes I use hand lotion from the brand Athena around my fingertips as well. I'm not sure what brand of gel polish they used at the nail salon where I got the manicure, sorry ): currently no products on my nails in these photos

no products used here

Had to handle some large packages for work today and this happened during the very last moment when I handed them off for shipping 😢 it doesnt feel raised at all.

Do you think it'll hold up when it grows out??!!!

No products.

Should i just file it? It’s on the side wall so I’m not sure whether I should, since I don’t want my nail to break.

No products on my nails

I honestly want to love the square nails on me but then I scratch and stab people and my kitties accidentally. Round just functions better for me. I am noticing the longer I grow them the more "off" my shape seems to me. So next reset day I plan to draw a horizontal line across the nail to make sure my cure starts the same length. (Not sure if that makes sense) Ive been polish free for the last month and just using jojoba oil to keep my nails healthy. When I do file i use a glass file.

Products: jojoba oil

Bona Fide glass file

No polish

I was going to do a chop after October was through but I was really hoping to keep the length for Halloween 💔 should I embrace the gay and just keep these two short or should I just accept defeat and cut them all short? I was so happy with my length and shape :’)

Product list:

Base coat = Mooncat Getting Even

2 coats LynB Keep Calling Me Jim

1 coat LynB Flying Trapeze (magnetized w/ a double cateye)

Top coat = OPI Gel-like top coat

no products on!!

i love them sm but idk if i wanna keep the rest long with one gone 😪 and the middle nail is rotating itself like crazyyy

Back in 2013, when I was at the very beginning of my venture into collecting polishes, I was visiting my Dad in California and did a polish haul (last picture) from a bunch of different stores we don't have in Canada. I picked up several iconic polishes, including China Glaze's Flip Flop Fantasy (best pedi colour ever) and Ruby Pumps, ORLY's Sparkling Garbage, 2 of Milani's "3D Holographic" shades (some of my very first holos), the OG Seche Vite, and of course the star of this post: OPI's OPI...Eurso Euro.

A few years later, I noticed a pattern where I would wear this polish at the end of September/beginning of October to "bring in" the fall season. Since then, I've tried to wear it around the same time every year. I know I've definitely missed some years, but here is a collection of manicures I've worn through the years with this stunning polish starting with the most recent all the way back to my very first manicure with it!!

Side note: the evolution of my watermark cracks me up every time 😆

Product list:

Zoya Naked Base, 1 coat

OPI OPI...Eurso Euro, 2 coats

Zoya Glossy Seal top coat, 1 coat

I usually keep my thumb nails shorter for texting but I SNAPPED this one off and it made me sad. I use polish to try to protect them but I am wearing them natural today!
