I recently got a gorgeous manicure with a color called "I'm not really a waitress."
Someone had fun naming that one!

It's a bit of a xmassy red, but goes so well with my skin tone!

Funny to see the raves on Butter London nail polish. In my experience, the colors are amazing but they chip super fast! I have good luck with Essie.

I WISH I would do my nails but I have strange nails. The polish peels right off like a sticker. I've got my nails done professionally 4 times and each time the polish was peeling off within an hour. I got my nails done with my sister and hers lasted a week! I've tried doing it myself and my dear sis did my nails many times and we finally just gave up cuz it comes literally right off
I must have weird nails since more then one ML told me I need to remove my polish before tvilah and I wasnt wearing anything. They both apologized and mentioned my nails have a shine that looks like polish. So I enjoy checking everyone else's nails out but don't bother with myself anymore. There is no point.

Not so bad in my case, but if I do mine thursday night they'll be chipped by the time shabbes starts.

Try rubbing your nails down with pure acetone before polishing. You can also very lightly file the surface of your nail (kind of rough it up with s nail file). Another thing to try is a nail bonder rather than a regular base coat.

Now I see the mixed reviews but I just got a bottle of butter London nail polish to try!
Side point: do you put on nail polish while pregnant?

What's the concern? The fumes? I wear but I will refrain from gel manis.
I know some people who can't go into a nail salon while PG bec of the nails on the floor (I don't understand the sakanah if they are wearing shoes so I go.)
