I am obsessed with doing my nails atm.
One. I love picking a new colour, sitting myself down and having a half hour quiet session doing my nails. It's like meditating.
Two, it helps with my nail biting. I haven't chewed on my precious ten in over a month now and painting my nails not only reminds me of how pretty they are long, but when I get a bit fiddly and stressed out, I can pick the nail polish off rather than biting my nails. Problem solved.
So my latest manicure uses a brighter shade than my recent colours of late. A baby pink from Ciate with a silver french tip on my feature nail.
I always, always, always put a base coat on when I put a new nail polish on. I'm currently using the Nailtiques Protein Formula 1, created for flexible and brittle nails. It has left my nails so strong after just a few uses and my once bendy nails are now as hard as, well, *nails*.
I had to do 4 layers of this Ciate nail polish to get an opaque finish. I'm putting this down to the fact that it's a light shade but Ciate polishes dry fast and don't smudge easily so this is a non-issue really.
Silver glitter from Locket then goes onto my ring finger and is sealed in with the Ciate Speed Coat.
I wonder what my next meditation session will hold. Feeling creative.
