What color polish are you rocking right now?

Also here is a great way to remove gel/gel powder/gel dip for those that do it at home. They are acrylic nail soaker clips. No more fumbling with foil and cotton. All you do is apply the saturated cotton to the top of your nails and then clip this over. It makes the process so much easier and you don’t have to worry about realigning the whole foil/cotton. Just open it, check it and close it again until it’s done. I love them!

They look beautiful. I may attempt to do it myself one of these days. I have to say the Dip powders really stay on my nails forever. I literally only get my nails done every 3- 4 weeks.

They are very durable. I wish I could keep my nails on for that long but I keep seeing a new colour I just have to try :))
 
Can we talk about pedi colors? What's your favorite color for toes? I usually go for coral but wanted to change it up so did mine today with Cirque Garnet. Feels too dark for spring, maybe I don't like change for my toes.:eek2:
 
I usually use neutral colours on my toes. I don’t usually match my fingers and toes together so it seems easier to just keep the colour neutral. I had an ingrown toenail a couple of months ago and ended up losing the entire nail. My feet look terrible!
 
BM, I usually do something neutral for toes. The color that I show on my figures from last week when I got snipered by the sun curing my gel polish is what I use most often (it's on the previous page of this thread now). I also really like textured polish for toes too. Much more forgiving, especially since I do my own pedis!

How long do you soak before taking them off to remove? Do you then get the polish off in one try?

Just make sure you use 100% acetone and saturate the cotton ball and buff off the top coat off your nails first. Then about 10-15 minutes and just push it off with a cuticle stick.

Thank you! I wish I could do it myself, my nail technician did it (she does everything by hand). She calls it an absence of color flame.
 
Hi, first time in this thread as I don't paint my nails all the time, but in honour of the first day of winter tomorrow (New Zealand) I decided to go for it with a dark grey.

Apparently it's national nail polish day tomorrow, June 1st. If you're looking to buy some new colors, Target will be giving 25% off all nail polish tomorrow.

Look at my nails! They are glowing! Gel polish is from Aimeili. Very inexpensive but their range is lovely and great quality. I buy them from Amazon.

Absolutely stunning with your sapphire ring,love, love this! I can’t find Sky’s My Limit anymore:|guessing it’s discontinued?
Thanks. It was a limited edition so not part of their core colors but I'm pretty sure it's still available on eBay.
 
I asked for ombré this time. It was interesting. First she did a clear coat, then two coats of the pink then she sprinkled the blue and did it lighter towards the middle. I think this would also look nice with a french manicure with light pink and white.
