And....The Broken Nail...Noooooo!
Just ignore how pathetic and ugly this nail is. It still has nail polish and nail glue on it. I didn't clean it up just because,let's face it..the damn nail is ugly anyway! 2 flipping breaks on one nail,just don't get better than that huh?I'm tempted to just file them down to nothing. As much as I want to blame it on the winter I cant,my kids did it. Yup,this is the result of trying to clam my kids down during a temper tantrum.When will I learn!!! LOL "Keep your distance from kids when they are upset,they are dangerous!! LOL

ReplyDeleteThank you Katherine!
DeleteWow, I love all of these colors! They are such a great collection.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't blame a break on winter, blame it on the kids hehe. I just filed mine down to nothing, go for it! They grow back ;-)
Thank you!
DeleteTrust me,I'm about to just file them down and start over. I can't handle that many breaks on one nail.
Beautiful swatches! My favorites are Carmen and Kamama.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny!
DeleteLove Delia and Lorelei! Stunning swatches! Sorry about that break...I know how frustrating it is and I keep my nails short...I can't imagine having long nails and dealing with a bad break!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenna! It's very frustrating. LOL
DeleteThese polishes are all really pretty! I give you props for trying to keep your length with the breaks. Whenever I get a break, I always just give up and file my nails down. I even rounded mine to avoid breaks and yet I still managed to break one today at work...ugh haha!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteOur nails hate us. Boooo! Sorry about your break.
I do love rounded nails. I'm going to try that shape one day.
Awww Diesel <3
ReplyDeleteAnd this entire collection is really great!
Thank you!!
DeleteDefinitely feel your pain! Sadly my nails used to get beautifully long until I began blogging. Ironically ever since I've learned good habits, even am quite good at using cuticle oils, base/top coats, non-acetone polish remover, etc, my nails break so much worse than ever. It's a sad feeling being a nail blogger whose nails keep breaking! haha
