Nail Polish | Pad Patter 6.1.2023

Have you ever used nail polish?
Yes for years- although the last few years, I have rarely opened a bottle of polish. I've become quite addicted to Color Street polish- it's like the stickers- but it's real polish that's just not cured all the way.

Do you paint your fingernails or toenails or both?
I always have color street on my nails- especially at work- since we use so much sanitizer, regular polish just doesn't last. When I double up the color street polish strips (usually I can get at least 2 mani's doubled and 1 pedi out of one packages since I keep my nails short)- not only does it last really well through work, but also really protects my nails from the harsh chemicals.

For my toes- I often use the left over strips from my mani's and they last FOREVER on my toes. Occasionally I will use reg polish on my toes, but it's usually the glitter top coat if anything at all!

Do you have a favorite brand of nail polish?
Color street for sure! I do have ONE polish that's an all time fave- China Glaze Fairy Dust and is a holographic super fine glitter that I paint over top everything for my toes. It just gives my toes a fun sparkle!

What is your go-to nail color?
I really like a glitter or shimmer for fun. I'm not a big fan of white on my nails for soem reason. I've used a lot of the fun patterns from colorstreet too!

Any fun current nail polish trends I should know about?
I'm not sure about trends- I just use what I like! I know a lot of ombre patterns are popular right now with the colorstreet new releases.

Some of my recent mani's:

 

Have you ever used nail polish? Yes, I go through phases, but over the last year I've been very consistent with painting my nails.
Do you paint your fingernails or toenails or both? Both. But my toenails are always painted, but my fingernails are not always painted.
Do you have a favorite brand of nail polish? Essie
What is your go-to nail color? I either like nude colors or deep red colors.
Any fun current nail polish trends I should know about? I don't really keep up with trends. LOL.

 

I usually go every month for a mani pedi doing a french mani with gel on my hands and regular french on my toes... Occaisionally (like now) I took a break and cut them all off on my hands as I broke a few and also had issues where they got thin (the nails) so I took a break in May and I will see how they grow during June, where I may get them done the end of June. I have been going for mani-pedis for over 10 years. I cannot do them myself, and I have my nail person the same one for all that time
