Look forward to it Indie 🙂

I had to cut my nails extremely shortjatz. You won`t recognise my nails as being mine. LOL !!! But like Indie, I`ll try to think up a Christmas theme on the weekend :).

OMG – shock horror Arty Girl – ;-P. I couldn`t imagine your nails being short like mine are. Look forward to seeing whatever designs you two come up with. Always a pleasure 🙂

This is my purple, turquoise and silver Christmas nails. As you can see my nails are extremely short and I haven`t made a very good job of the design. They were meant to be Christmas baubles with stars. Oh well …..back to the drawing board. LOL !!!

I can`t wait for my nails to grow long again. Sigh !!!

I find it hard to create designs on shorter nails, in saying that I think you`ve done a great job, Arty. I love the colours you used, too.

Thanks Indie. You`re very kind in saying this. Once my nails are long, I`ll be able to try out my new nail art stencils :).

Ooh, looking forward to seeing the stencil work, Arty

They are longer than mine at the moment. I think you have still done a fantastic job. The design snd colours look pretty.

Thanks jatz but until they grow longer I will refrain from wearing nail polish. This way the cuticle oil and hand cream that I apply daily will get a chance to penetrate the whole nail.

Yes, do misfortune8. No point in keeping them for “”a special occasion”” or they might never get used. LOL !!!

Thank you so much, darling Trish

Thank you, Mis8. Oh, I made a mess all around my nails and didn`t realise there was still polish remaining on my fingers until I saw the photo, lol

I use my nail polish remover pen that I buy from China for clean ups. I bought a set of 5 for less than a $1 each off EBay. One pen didn`t work as the fluid had dried up so when I let the Seller know, they refunded me $1. My last set of 5 nail polish remover pens from EBay literally lasted me 2 years and that`s with 1 being dry and me giving one pen to my sister.

Thank you, Arty. I had a little trouble with the green polish, it has become thicker and took forever to dry

It`s a pity that we don`t see nail polish thinners as a regular item on Store shelves here. When I was in Vietnam on holiday, it was only then that I could buy a bottle of it and it was at a specific store that sold nail products for Nail Salons. My friend knew the staff in that store which is how I was able to buy my Nail Art Striping Nail Polish there.

If you do a Google Search, it might tell you what you can use to thin nail polish down without destroying it.

I use a quick dry top coat when I want my manis to dry fast. Sinful Colors have brought one out. I paid $4 for my last bottle but today at BigW, the Sinful Colors nail polish is on sale for $2.80.

I do have a nail thinner from Seche Vite, but I generally save that for polishes I love. I`ve had this Ulta3 green polish for many years, and it`s well used, so I`m ok saying goodbye to it.

Arty Girl, thanks so much for this explanation. I do wish Platinum would go back to being selected rather than needing to apply. SO pleased too, as jatz said, that you got the DB, especially as it was a surprise with such great products.

Your willingness to share and assist really is so much appreciated. You`re a gem!

After reading all that Arty Girl I am over the moon that you** DID** receive that Spring Discovery Bag. Makes up for all those missed trials that you couldn`t do.

Keep on doing the nail art……..I love it 🙂
