Back to Nature

The fake nails have now been removed. So traumatic! Soaking them in nail varnish as directed did absolutely nothing! I ended up pulling them off which has done my natural nails absolutely no good at all. They are such a sorry state right now I am not even going to post a picture.
VERDICT: It was lovely to have long strong nails for a while but ultimately it wasn't worth it. I shall have to just work with what god gave me, 'now where's that strengthening base coat?'

Nails Update

Wednesday night and all the nails were still on however the 'no chip tips guaranteed' promise on the box did not deliver. Nothing major but I did find myslf having to touch up a couple of the tips with white nail polish. Somewhat bored of touching them up and of the natural look I pianted them all with Nails Inc. deep red colour 'victoria'. I love this shade but it does take three or four thick coats to achieve. One of the nails fell off on Friday but luckily I had been carrying the glue around in my bag all week so this was easily fixed. All the rest are staying well put. Slightly concerned about how I am going to get them off.

A Little Essex Style Fakery

In homage to my home county I decided to enhance myself a little. The hair is still real, as are the eyelashes and the boobs. The nails though are fake.

Last time I wore fake nails I was 16. I am pleased to find that they have greatly improved since then. For one thing I've had them on a whole day and night and they haven't fallen off yet. We'll see if they last the full seven days. Secondly the shorter lengths that are available now are so much more practical. I can type, and do buttons! Getting the memory card out of my camera however, that was an issue.
