I love it! You should use better polishes, like OPI. And they have quick dry drops that dry your nails within 5 minutes.

I love painting my nails, I find it relaxing. I just put aside enough time and relax with a movie or my laptop in front of me.

ME TOO. I think this is why I do not understand the JJB Nail Polish Obsession. It's so stressful when you have OCD.

The only way to get better is to practice. Get a few better quality polishes.. and get Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri. It's in a red bottle.. dries nails in
like a minute and acts as a top coat. I swear by it.

Seche Vite is my FAVORITE fast drying polish. I adore it.

I like painting my toes, but hate doing my fingers- mainly because of the waiting for them to dry. It never fails, when I'm done with my nails, I ALWAYS
have to pee, or I get an itch, or some other task that would involve using my hands, and I sit there waiting, until they're dry enough to take care of
business!

I don't like painting my nails too which is why I pay someone to do it for me every 2 weeks.

It's not the actual painting of the nails that annoys me so much as trying to take OFF the polish once it's begun chipping and looking like crap after
such a short amount of time. It's not even worth it.
Today I realized my pretty hot pink polish was all chipping off and whatever so I had to use nail polish remover and it took me FOREVER to get it off. Now my hands feel all disgusting and dry and stuff. Makes me just want to start painting them with a clear polish only and forgetting about it ever again. It IS
stressful.

Get some Seche Vite! You can get it at CVS or Target. I LOVE it.

It's kind of tricky, doesn't work if you don't wait long enough but doesn't work if you wait too long. It's $14 but lasts a long time. I still haven't run out. I'm sure you could find something cheaper but it'll be trial and error to find the right one for yourself. I only really use them when I have to go somewhere soon. I usually reserve painting my nails for whn I watch t.v. or a movie. |

What remover do you use? It doesn't take me long but I don't get it off easily within 30 seconds.

Different kinds but I always make sure to use one with acetone. The non-acetone takes longer. Maybe it doesn't take me 30 seconds but it can't take
longer than a minute or so. Maybe she just uses polishes with glitter or something?

I think the last one I bought that sucked was Sally Hansen. Have you ever tried the Sephora brand? I'm just going with the myth that if it's more
expensive, it's better.
And maybe? I do two coats and two top coats. So many that's why it's a bit of chore to take off for me. But I'm pretty sure most people I know do that? Or maybe only one top coat is better |

I have never used Sally Hansen. I mostly use like Cutex or whatever and I've never tried Sephora brand. I do only one topcoat.

Thanks
Any recommendations for foundation/concealer? So many questions but I'm just wondering what everyone else uses. People rave about MAC but it makes me break out. |
