I'm doing a dark green smokey eye today and Td'U was one that I had ordered from AE. I love the color and I love the length of your nails!!!! I'll have to settle for CG's Glittering Garland, BL's Jack the Lad or Essie's Stlyenomics, all of which are deep dark green.

The worst thing is when it grows out enough to snag on things - like clothes - but not quite enough to cut off clean. Drives me crazy!

I've always had issues with my thumbnails doing this - I think it's probably the legacy of being a nail biter for so long. But this time I have a break on my index finger as well. Weather could definitely be an issue. I don't think lack of protein in my diet is a problem, but I might add some calcium to my daily supplements to see if that helps.


As you know I've started having similar yellowing issues, so there could be something to that theory. Seems like we're 'nail problem twins' CC!


I've been changing my polish twice a week - three days of wear is about as much as I get from most polishes, so I usually have bare nails for a day a week. With this breakage I might have to cut down too. My own unused basket is getting fuller rather than emptier at the moment, so I don't want to :( I wasn't planning on doing exclusively green for March, but I think I have almost enough untried greens to do that now!
I appreciate the dilemmna of the broken nail that gets caught in everything, including your hair!

I was planning to do green manis through St Patricks Day and then switch to spring shades on the first day of spring, March 21. Shamefully, I have enough untried greens to get me through the entire month of March but, as much as I love green NP I'll be ready for other colors by the 21st, if not before!!

Edited to include: Darn you two Kimibos & Naughtyp! I thought I was done and was trying to ignore this---No willpower whatsoever. I ordered a few Zoyas after having ordered the entire new Dior Sparkle collection! I guess I now have PIP too.

I think PIP is short-lived, so enjoy it while it lasts!!

I've been trying to do the same thing! I moved them all up to my top drawer so I don't even go looking at other colors. I have to stay focused!
Dark short nails are my favorite! I actually LOVE short nails. I'm in love with that color now I want to put mine on.

That's an awesome green! Perfect for March.

I ordered them from Saks yesterday and they've already shipped. I jumped on it because I think I recall someone saying one of them sold out at Neiman's the day they went up. As of yesterday, they weren't even on Dior's web site.

< --- Is it weird that I really rock like that when I have attained PIP?

I think my issues are due to the Instant Artificials nail hardener I was using. I think it's responsible for staining my nails and just made them more brittle. But others have said it works great for them in reviews, so it just may not agree with my nails. My hands have also been drier because of the cold weather, so that may be a factor as well.

I'm thinking about investing in Dior Creme Abricot for my cuticles. They've been very dry even after moisturizing. I know the creme is expensive, but the reviews are great from what I've read. People also say it lasts a very long time, like up to a year. That'll make the cost more like $2/month. I think it's worth it.
Have you tried Lush Lemon Flutter? That stuff is amazing! I put it on every night before bed and let it "soak" in while I'm sleeping. I also use Julep cuticle oil at work since its a roller ball and it's fast absorbing unlike a lot of cuticle oils.

If you try the Dior let me know how it is! I've been eying it too.

Topshop now have 3 holo nail polishes: silver, pink and blue, if any of the UK ladies are interested. :) £6 each. They look pretty in the bottle, but I haven't had time to swatch them yet.

Yes yes yes--It's soooo pretty. I liked the way she swatched Polka.com. It really demonstrated its potential. My daughter would be all over that, so I might as well get it for her.

Yay! I got the same ones a while ago.


And, finally, f i n a l l y today I got the Illamasqua order I placed January 12th. It took only 7 weeks and 5 days to come!

I've been swatching my recently acquired polishes on my nails today. I already made nail stick swatches of them, but couldn't swatch them on my hands because of my mani. I removed it today for a polish change and decided to have a swatch fest. I love everything!

The Illamasqua speckled polishes are so dreamy. I see why so many people are doing skittle manis with them. It's hard to choose which one to wear. I'm definitely going back for the pink one. The Diors are so pretty and I'm starting to get used to the brush. I love Nirvana and the sheerness of Golden Light makes it so pretty. I can also really smell roses on my nail from Forget-Me-Not. It's neat, but weirds me out a little at the same time. You probably don't want to be caught with your fingers near your nose too often. People can get the wrong idea.

Deborah Lippmann Lady Sings the Blues is gorgeous. Pictures don't do it justice. The Butter Londons and Essies are just as wonderful. I don't think I've actually worn an Essie yet, so I'm using Going Incognito for my next mani.

I think I feel another haul coming on after all this swatching.
