Instead of talking about anything important, I want to talk about the fact that I painted my nails on Sunday afternoon and they are still intact. I'm not sure you understand how often I use my hands and nails - any time I paint my fingers I'm lucky to have it last a couple hours, let alone a whole day. IT'S DAY TWO AND I AM GOING STRONG. Allow me to share my fun tips with you:

1. Wipe nails with white vinegar before anything.


2. ORLY super rubbery base coat, the name for which escapes me because I am not actually a beauty blogger, but it's the best


3. Two thin coats of color


4. Seche Vite top coat


5. Dunk fingertips into a bowl of ice water. Hold as long as possible, remove and warm up, repeat until you want to kill yourself.


6. Do take a nice easy hour or so on the fingers, but at this point, you're close to home free.


Don't say I never gave you anything.

I am totally going to try the white vinegar and ice water tricks! I have that base coat and with it have achieved nearly 48 hours of nails that look pretty okay. What if I could make it three days?

I'm just taking it off tonight. That's right: four freaking days. I DONT KNOW WHATS HAPPENING

Do you do the water thing after the top coat is dry? My top coat always seems to re-liquify my polish and then it never dries right :I

Yeah! I have it a couple minutes to dry on its own and then dunked it in the ice water. It worked great!
