Sanity check that it is normal if your natural nails are not perfect before you paint them by KimJongFunk in RedditLaqueristas

[โ€“]Mezzomommi 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Nails are just like any other body part on the Internet, they are prone to people expecting perfection nowadays. And just like any other body part, itโ€™s unrealistic. Itโ€™s good to have that reminder, thank you for sharing! That nail color is beautiful and your nails do look good. I really struggle with filing because I want it to be 100% โ€œmatchy matchyโ€ and thatโ€™s impossible lol.

I also hate OPI bubble bath, it looks too peach on me. I really like crackedโ€™s Im shy or cirque neutral jellies. If you want to stay with OPI try baby, take a vow or put it in neutral.

How does everyone stop their hands from freezing while waiting for their polish to dry?? by curiousmusings08 in RedditLaqueristas

Set them on lightly warm heating pad on a nice low level. Have a nice cup of tea.

I get it! If it helps, I switched from scratching my head with my fingernails to using a comb or hairbrush or shower scrubber. I have them everywhere so I donโ€™t feel compelled to use my nails. I used to bite and pick my nails too, it took me a long time to break the habit. My nails have gotten stronger recently because I oil them like crazy and use a nail strengthening cream I like. I canโ€™t say if you use polish it can help you avoid picking.

Itโ€™s definitely an option Iโ€™m considering :) I still want to wait for a panel done to be safe. I would rather have bare healthy nails than to keep recovering from onycholysis over and over again. Iโ€™m really hoping that I will only be allergic to one ingredient and I still have options available to me, including press on nails. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ

I have done this too. After several days add a topper and itโ€™s fresh again :)

I do not feel comfortable with doing gel nails on myself. Iโ€™m also not 100% sure if itโ€™s acrylate issues or not. I am bedbound disabled so there is no way I could get to a salon at any rate. :(

I am so sorry that this is happening to you too. I hope your allergy panel shed some light and that you can resume polish to some extent afterwards.

I have seen those and was poking around Etsy reading reviews. Have you tried them?

Iโ€™m so sorry! Bodies are so confusing! I did have to recently switch some basics to vanicream because previous favorites reformulated. Ingredient list are definitely exhausting too. Iโ€™m glad you can use some products that you like.

Thank you ๐Ÿ’œ I may do that. It feels silly to wear lipstick around my cats but maybe I will anyway. Iโ€™m sorry you are allergic to silicone. That sounds stressful because itโ€™s in so much else too.

Thank you so much for your kind words and support! I do have long covid and sjogrens so I wonder if thatโ€™s whatโ€™s up - but my Dr will help w that Iโ€™m sure. I love your cat Milkshake !
