I just realized it has been almost 1 year since I last posted. The reason for this is mostly because my nails have been a big pile of poop for the entire time. I am going to walk you through a little treatment journey I have been on and let you know about the pot of gold and the end of my long, brown rainbow of shitty, peely, garbage nails. Warning, the following pictures aren't very nice. These photos were taken to document progress. The lighting is sometimes shitty. There will be occasionally fuzzy bits. Bear with me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I took these picture on July 17. This was about average in terms of what my nails would look like. I would file them down to meaty nubs, and within a few days they would end up like this. Feel free to click on the image to blow it up a bit if you want to see the real nitty gritty ugliness. Every nail is peeling. Though the ring finger may look like the star of the bunch, it is also peeling if you look up close.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span id="goog_1175484178"></span><span id="goog_1175484179"></span>I had given up so completely on having nice nails by this point, that I had started to, obviously, chew at my fingers again. On a side note, taking pictures of the nails on your dominant hand is hard. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here we have a display of the nail treatments I had been using up until these pictures were taken. There were MANY more that were shoved back into the Helmer to die after failing me around halfway through the bottle. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I oil my nails. I use Lemony Flutter every night. I layer Bag Balm over top of the Lemony Flutter. I use cotton gloves overnight. I have lotion in every purse, at every desk, by my bed, in the bathroom, lotion galore. It didn't make a difference.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I had complained about this in a Pretty Serious Facebook group, asking the members which treatment I should buy, because I had seen so many people raving about their treatments. To my delight, I was gifted both Rock On and Harden Up by Kaz and Ben from Pretty Serious in exchange for my documenting how they worked for me. I nubbed up my uglies once more, and set out consistently wearing Rock On on my left hand and Harden Up on my right hand to see what difference each made. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I used them consistently underneath my polish, occasionally with a base coat on top, but usually no base coat. I would usually use 1 coat, but sometimes I would use 2. I moisturized as usual. I didn't change things at all other than switching to using Rock On and Harden Up.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I think by the time I scrubbed all the glitter off my nails I was too lazy to bother with the extra side bits. That shit makes for some sore forearms. I didn't foil method for 2 reasons, 1 I didn't want to take it easy on these nails. I wanted to see how these treatments would stand up to real life shit, and 2, I wasn't in the fucking mood. Sometimes I would rather just sit in front of my computer watching Naruto and scrubbing glitter off until I have forearms like some kind of person with strong forearms would have. Anyways, things are still not gorgeous, but at least the shittyness seems to be confined to 1 or 2 fingers at a time instead of a full house of crappy nails.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Truly it pains me to put up these pictures. The right hand looks like I ran it through a bunch of spider webs. Also, I will say it again, taking pictures of your dominant hand is fucking hard. Oh, and I will also take this opportunity to appeal to the nail bloggers of the world. Please do not put up pictures with nasty cuts and scabs and mangled cuticles. It's gross. I don't care how amazing your application was. I don't care if the lighting was perfect and you captured all 3 colours of the multichrome you were trying to blog about. Take the time to edit that shit out if you must. This, however, is like a documentary. This is the National Geographic of the nail world. I am allowed. Though truly it pains me. Good god is it ever ugly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The left hand picture marks a turning point for me, where I actually realized that things were starting to happen. I broke a nail. Why is that a big deal? Because they were strong enough to break.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am going to take a little break here to complain about something slightly unrelated. I am doing this because I have happened upon the picture while going through my archives to complete this post. I have only tried the sponge method once in my life to apply a flakey polish. Look at how much of the bottle it used up. What the actual fuck. I am never doing that shit again.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I filed my nails down to my preferred length last night. It was hard! I had to bust out one of my mega files that I would use to grind off gel polish to take down the length before finishing up with the glass file. I was so stoked. Then today I shaved off a chunk of nail on my blogging hand when I was doing my legs in the shower. As soon as it happened I was like... right. Of course. Whatever. At least now I know they will grow out fabulously. I want to polish my nails again. I want to take pictures of the polish I put on my nails again. They have never felt so strong. They look great. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ADDENDUM: Once your nails are long enough, apply the treatments UNDER the nails as well. It makes a huge difference if you are trying to maintain length.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Let me do a little reminder here. Please imagine the REE REE REE REE you're gonna get stabbed noise.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In summary, layering Harden Up over top of Rock On seems to work the best for my nails. My nails are really thin and prone to peeling, the type to bend and not break. I am not ever going to buy another treatment. Holy Grail. Sometimes I would leave the house without polish on, just the treatments. I would continuously look at my nails like, wait are these my nails? Yes? Nice.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Pretty Serious are super reasonably priced. They use Australian dollars, so that means they are almost on par with the Canadian dollar (works out to a bit less than $10 each for the treatments), and the Americans buying from them are getting a fucking smoking deal. I think they end up being like $7.50 USD each for the treatments. You can buy the treatments <a href="http://www.pretty-serious.com/collections/nail-care">here</a>. I suggest you do so. I feel like I haven't even reached the top of nail mountain. With continued use, I think my nails are probably going to turn into diamonds. Literal diamonds. I think I might become a cat burglar, since I will then be able to cut glass with my new diamond nails.</span><br />

Okay, I have to add these. I took these pics the other day. There is chipping, there is cuticle jank. These are not nice nails we are looking at, but this polish looked AMAZING on a terribly ugly day.</div>

Long time no see! I have finally dejankified my cuticles and actually give a crap what is on my nails again. I was recently gifted a package brimming with beautiful things. This was one of the things. I'm sure you have seen a thousand picture already, but here are a thousand more.</div>

Man, Cult Nails is shutting down. That sucks. They have a bunch of stuff on for 60% off right now if you want to grab a few things before they are completely cleared out. It's too bad. They brought us so many really cool polishes. I wish I would have grabbed a bottle of Toxic Seaweed when it first came out.</div>

Imagine my delight when I found out that the lovely lady over at the <a href="http://blog.sparklyvernis.com/">Sparkly Vernis blog</a> had decided to put forth her own line of polish. Right off the bat she is doing it right with a <a href="http://www.sparklyvernis.com/">fabulous website</a>, great square bottles with a classy simplistic design and holos! I was lucky enough to win a bottle in a giveaway, and she was kind enough to send another along for review, along with an unnamed mini that I didn't have time to swatch today, but I shall in the future.<br /><br />First up we have Gilded Lemon Drops, 2 coats with no topcoat.</div>

These dry quickly with a matte finish and I had no issues at all with application. The formula is such that you could quite possibly make them 1 coat wonders with a careful hand and a just-full-enough brush. Though not as strong, they maintain their blingyness indoors, but all of those pictures sucked.<br /><br />They retail for $12.99 USD for the holos, while the other polishes retail for $9.99 USD, and shipping is free in the USA. <a href="http://shop.sparklyvernis.com/">You can find them for sale on her website.</a><br /><br />I would like to thank the lovely Ms. Vernis for sending this to the ever so grateful moi.<br />

I have taken pictures in a variety of lighting, some outside in overcast weather and some inside with a couple of different light sources, nothing fancy, I just can't remember the watts and crap.

And when I say too many pictures, I mean some of them pretty much look exactly the same and I think I uploaded 13 pictures of Supernova... *cough*<br />

<br />I love this polish. All the different colours in it spark in the light and look almost holographic. Very festive. Very fun.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937798779132531918.post-69193423154244260292014-12-17T17:52:00.003-08:002014-12-19T09:47:46.903-08:00Born Pretty Full Nail Water DecalsAnother one of the lovely things that I was sent to try out by Born Pretty is these cool full nail water decals. I found these to be really easy to work with. I got these ones because they looked sparkly, and I love me so sparkles.<br />
<br />
They have a more tapered, rounder edge and a flatter more squared edge so you can just flip the side for whichever fits your nails or toes better.<br />

You just cut them out one nail at a time, peel off the plastic front and drop them into some water. They come off the paper really easily and you have lots of time to sort of shift them around on your nail. I also had them fold in half and had no problem unfolding them. They are pretty forgiving.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Get it in position on your nail and then take a piece of paper towel and place it over top and gently sort of rock your finger back and forth over top to push out any air bubbles and soak up all the water. The decal is going to be pretty slippery until most of the water is gone.<br />
<br />

<br />
I liked to hold the decal on with one finger while I filed the bits at the end off. I find a glass file is best for this because they have a fine grit and don't take off actual nail length if you are careful. <br />
<br />

<br />
Here they are with no topcoat or cleanup or anything. There is a bit of clear around the edges, as you can see. I had no issue cleaning this up with acetone and a brush like I would normal nail polish. I really actually like these a lot better than those stick on nail sheets. There was MUCH less wrinkling, and the edges were much smoother. I only got a tiny bit of wrinkling on my ring finger, and that is because I messed around with it too much I think.<br />

I decided I wanted more bling, so I added a coat of Crows Toes Maxxed Out and then a layer of Seche Vite. The decal didn't shrink at all with the Seche, which is good to know. <br />

I think that the decal actually made the glitter removal much easier. I didn't have to scrub as hard as I normally would. All in all, I am pretty happy with these! I will definitely be poking around and picking up some of the others that I saw that piqued my interest. You <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/sheet-water-decals-full-stikers-lizard-print-full-nail-water-decals-p-17535.html">can get these from Born Pretty </a>for $2.53 CAD for a sheet, and if you have short nails you can probably cut them in half and do your tips and your toes with 1 sheet.<br />

There are a lot of beautiful things out there that I just do not have the patience for. That said, I was really stoked when the very kind people at <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/">Born Pretty</a> were nice enough to send me some stuff I wanted. Score. One of the items I chose was this set of water decals.<br />

Ah yes, the trials and tribulations of Reece and the waterfinger.<br />
<br />
I trimmed, cleaned and polished my fingernails (Sally Hansen Grass Slipper). My cuticles are looking haggard btw. They were much worse before. I have been spending some quality time with Bag Balm, Korres lotion and those cotton sleeping glove thingies, which are surprisingly comfortable.</div>

Please note that I actually did not want the picture face down with a nice white backing to display. Not the look I was hoping to achieve.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thankfully, these things are pretty frigging hardy. I eventually worked out a method of sliding them off the backing, letting them float around and then fishing them out and working them into place. </div>

I did attempt to position my finger underneath and sort of try and catch them, but that was futile. Like I said, they are pretty hardy, so I could just sort of fish them out and work them onto my finger without ruining them. Though, at some point, they find a place to stay and decide they want to stay there. Alternately, sometimes you find a place you want them to stay and then they slip around. Your fingers need to be wet for these to really move. Once you have them in place just touch it gently with a paper towel to soak up the excess water. They say to blow dry them... I think you know what ain't nobody got time for. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So here is what I ended up with. In hindsight (20-20) I would have put the leaves on first, but I am pretty pleased in general. Topcoat wasn't an issue. Slid right on. No wrinkling. No colour seeping into the topcoat.<br />

I was able to actually slide a yellow flower over top of that botched backwards job I had done previously.<br />
<br />
I am super happy with these. <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/sheet-colorful-rose-butterfly-pattern-nail-water-decals-transfers-sticker-p-17631.html">They are pretty reasonably priced at $2.37 USD for the package</a> and they have <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/nail-c-268.html">a bunch of other cool cheap stuff </a>that is worth taking a look at. Shipping is free. I thank them kindly for sending these to me. My friend, Jenny, over at <a href="http://lavishlayerings.blogspot.ca/">Lavish Layers</a> has done a bunch of fun stuff with them too and I had been meaning to try them, so this was just great timing altogether. I have a discount code thingy at the bottom for 10% off, but I think that there are better codes floating around in the ether if you wanted to hunt them down. Not 100% on that though.<br />

<br style="text-align: start;" /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Halloween is around the corner. Might as well resurrect myself. I received Formula X Mischievous in the mail today. Is pretty. In traditional Spit & Polish style, here are like 10 pictures of 1 thing. I was just randomly strolling through my house taking these. It looks a bit assy in overcast outdoor lighting. Inside is very cool though. I did 3 coats and 1 coat of Seche Vite. I think I should have put a coat of Glitter Food or something similar before the SV though because it was a bit chunky and I prefer something a bit more glassy.<br />
<br />
This polish wants to be pink, it wants to be green, it wants to be everything. It is very shifty. Mama like.</div>

</div>
This is RBL Bella with 2 coats of A Rhyming Dictionary Trick River. I love this polish. Small round matte white glitter with large matte white hex glitter and jagged bits of irregular pops of colour. It reminds me of candy. I am a fan of candy. I like they way the stark white in Trick River works with the sort of creamy white of Bella.<br />

I love this polish. As soon as I set eyes on it I knew I loved this polish. From the very first coat I knew I LOVED this polish. I am excited to try it out as a topcoat, but here I display it all on its lonesome. This is 4 coats. Three coats probably would have cut it, but this is 4.<br />

Bits of iridescent blue mixed with olive greenish bronzy goldish bits. *edit to add that according to Morgan the blue bits are actually charcoal. Either way, gorgeous.* I have never seen anything like this polish. I adore it.

The Dark Well is a dark cobalt blue with holographic microglitter. From a distance it looks like a gorgeous deep blue, but up close it looks magical. I imagine some sunshine would do it better justice *shakes fist at clouds* but I have none of that so here you go with plain old indoor lighting.</div>
<br />
This is 3 coats. I see that there is some transparency in the pictures, but in real life it is completely opaque.<br />

<br />
The formula was great. Easy to apply. I did not wait between the first two coats but did before the third just to be safe. The polish has a bit of a jellyishness to it, and those can tend to pull. I don't know if it would have though, as I did wait.<br />

Gig is a peachy pink polish with micro fine holographic shimmery bits. It's a lovely polish. Delicate and pretty.<br />
<br />
This is 3 coats & SV. For the record, I am not sure how that speck made its way onto my nail. *glares at speck*<br />

<br />
On top of this I have added The Foolish Owl which is made up of matte pink squares, tiny matte white bits, big black matte circles, white matte hearts and holographic stars. The hearts give the appearance of laying much less flat than they actually are. I suspect this is due to the fact that they are layered over SV that should have been thinned ages ago. SV so thick!<br />

Both of these polishes applied well. There is loads of glitter in The Foolish Owl, requiring minimal fishing around for choice bits.

This is another one I picked up at the Misa sale. This is an orange leaning bright peach creme. The formula was pretty typical for these kinds of colours. It was a bit thick. I used 3 coats for these pictures. It was a bit streaky, but I blame that more on my application. I think the best way to apply this is with thicker, even coats that are allowed to dry a bit in between. That being said, I am not unimpressed with how it looks with 3 quick coats. It doesn't level very well, like a lot of similar polishes I have found, and so if your final coats do not completely cover your last ones you will end up with obvious layers around the edges. You may be able to see this in my pics.</div>

Because I cannot leave anything alone I added a coat of CND Crimson Sparkle. I am beyond disappointed that CND decided to discontinue their line of Effects. I hope they bring them back in the Vinylux formula. I found this difficult to photograph. In actuality, it is a really prominent pretty pink shimmer that changes to gold as you shift your hands around closer to the light source.<br /></div>

This is another one that starts off with a satin finish. I feel like my indoor lighting does it no justice. This polish needs sunshine. That being said.. LOVE.<br /><br />This is 2 coats no topcoat</div>

I have been ill. I am currently having the demons purged from my being. *kisses container of antibiotics*<br /><br />I got a few Misas when they were having their December sale. Eye Candy is from the Blink of an Eye Fall 2013 collection. I bought it based on the bottle shot on the site, and I was very pleased with what I received. This is actually a matte/satin finish polish, but not your basic boring matte. This is a fantastic and complex matte polish.<br /><br />This is 3 coats, but you could get away with 2 for sure.</div>

<br />I also got High Brow from the Blink of an Eye collection, and it seems to have the same finish. I will be swatching this one next. Misa can be purchased on the <a href="http://misacosmetics.com/">Misa site </a>for $7.50 each. When they had their sale, I was happy to find that they allowed their free shipping to Canadians as well which has made me much more eager to buy from them in the future, providing it wasn't some technical glitch. Who wants to pay shipping these days?

I had been given a decant of this lovely polish a while ago, but I had foolishly never tried it on for fear of using up my precious decant. For Christmas, my lovely bff gave me a half full bottle of Royal, to which I added my decant and woohoo! The polish level is now a good mm above the O.P.I. line.<br /><br />This is 3 coats indoor lighting. Such a gorgeous pink flash<br /></div>

I Love Nail Polish Nostalgia is an amazing multichrome. It shifts from a really bright green to a really pretty rusty pinky red, and gold in between. </div>
<br />
This is 2 coats of ILNP Nostalgia with 1 coat of Here Today Aragon Tomorrow Suede for the trees. I used Ulta3 Blue Marlin, Sally Hansen InstaDri Lightning and Berry Swift for the decorations. They look really crap up close, but from an arms length away I am quite the fancy fance. I like using suedes and mattes for nail art like this. They dry so fast, and the difference in texture makes things really pop.<br />
<br />
Sorry for the blurry bits. Pretend they aren't there..<br />

Glitter Gal had a giveaway on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Glitter-Gal-Cosmetics/182185038519?fref=ts">their Facebook page</a> the other day. I won me some Bluemerang and Gloss Boss! Unfortunately, Gloss Boss did not make the trip. Let us please take a minute to mourn Gloss Boss.</div>

At any rate, Bluemerang made it okay! I gave it a wipe off. It lost its label, so it is no longer wearing any panties, but I still love it!</div>
<br />
It was a bit thick and drying too quickly for me to work well with without raging so I thinned it. This is 3 coats, though 2 careful coats would also work for a lot of people.<br />

Here it is beside Color Club Factory girl. It almost looks white beside it in this pic. IRL it is a sort of perfect baby blue.</div>

So I had this on my fingers and thought.. hmm *strokes air beard* what else can I do with this lovely canvas? It was giving me some proper winter vibes, though I must say when I first put it on I was like dang I need me some sun because this polish makes my pale ass look tan!</div>
<br />
I decided that I wanted to make some snow bros with ManGlaze Mayo. I really love the way it looks like sparkly snow. I actually like the way it went all textural on me because it looks more like real snow. I WILL FOOL EVERYONE. I used Wet & Wild Black Creme for the eyes and buttons and hats, OPI A Roll in the Hague for the carrots and Cult Nails Ms. Conduct for the arms.<br />

Do you like how buff the middle finger is? So buff. He is hailing Brodin for his sweet gains. Then there is duder beside him giving the peace sign. So hip.</div>
