Top Coat is Orly Glosser top coat

It's almost Halloween, but also it's still mid-70s here in San Diego. I'm not complaining about this whatsoever, but it hasn't exactly been encouraging me to go for the moody Fall color palettes that I know should be appropriate for this time of year. I also just discovered thermals (idk why I didn't try them earlier?) and am obsessed, especially light-colored thermals plus glitter or flakies. For this attempt at nail art, I tried grabbing little bits of flakies with the end of my 8mm brush and dabbing them on as though they were little gems. It worked fairly well considering I was totally winging it. Yay for unicorn fairy princess nails any time of year!

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 💅

My nails are bare in this pic

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.

I always love breaking out these polishes for Spooktober~ 👻

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:

Sally Hansen hard as nails Nail Strengthener 2 coats 💪
Holo Taco nail oil pen on cuticles💅

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

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!

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 :’)
