I have to keep my nails short because I wear contact lenses and I'm worried about poking my eye out. I've had too many near missesthanks, short nails are pretty too. sometimes i just get bored of long ones and file them all off. the BL drawer is magical
I sometimes decide to let them grow but then one of them breaks and I have to file everything off because I can't stand my nails being different lengths.

I finished an awesome mani with NARS Zulu and Deborah Lippmann Cleopatra in New York as an accent.
I hope the weather is nice tomorrow so I can take pics. Zulu is gorgeous! I completely understand the hype. When I swatched it a few days ago, I only did one coat just to see the color on my nail and I did it on top of another polish. I can see the difference since I did my nails for real this time. That first coat is going to be streaky and bad. The magic happens in the second coat. The polish needs some babying when applying, but nothing too in my opinion. The second coat actually applied very smoothly for me. Bottom line, I need a BU.
Cleopatra in New York makes a beautiful accent. It really compliments Zulu. I like to accent my pinky and pointer fingers and it's a very pretty effect. The combination also makes a pretty holiday look without looking too holiday if that makes any sense.

My nails are always different lengths. I gave up trying to keep them the same and I prefer my nails longer. My pinky nails are always really long for some reason. A friend calls them my "coke nails."I have to keep my nails short because I wear contact lenses and I'm worried about poking my eye out. I've had too many near misses.

I'm extremely hard on my hands, so my nails are always breaking or chipping and never even. I found out about this stuff called Instant Artificials by Salon Sciences. I've been using it for the past few weeks. I like it so far, but I'll know over the next few months or so if it's really working.

LOL! I did go crazy for Lip Tars. I couldn't help it. I'm glad Beauty.com restocked the sets. The problem is that I now have two colors from each set, but it's still a good value. I think I'll end up getting them anyway. But it's probably good that they're backordered because there are other things I want to buy.hahaha. i know she went liptar crazy, but they are having a good deal. the 5 liptars plus the brush for $40. never mind the bright set is now back ordered. so you're safe.
now you are enabling me and i luv you too!!
I also didn't get the 20% polish discount to work. The prices never changed to the discounted price when I went through checkout. I just gave up.

Instant Artificials has clearly been working because your nails looked great in your Malice pics!My nails are always different lengths. I gave up trying to keep them the same and I prefer my nails longer. My pinky nails are always really long for some reason. A friend calls them my "coke nails."

*adds Instant Artificials to the must-try list*
I'm very hard on my nails too. As a reformed nail biter, I always find myself picking at them whenever I get nervous or bored. Then there's the typing and cleaning of course. A few years ago I got fed up with my shorties and dabbled in Orly's Nail Rescue kit for a bit. It's a set consisting of nail glue and acrylic powder. In the beginning I used it exclusively for repairing chipped/split/cracked/etc. nails. That worked a treat and I was able to grow my nails quite a bit because I didn't have to file them down every other day. However, having an addictive personality, yours truly soon started covering all 10 nails with the stuff, broken or not. That's when things started going downhill - my nails got really weak and it took them several months to recover.
I'm really into nail oils these days. I don't know if you have it in the US, but Herome's Exit Damaged Nails is brilliant. And it smells great!
