Since I would already be donning a dress and girly flats for the Baptism this Saturday, I decided to forego dainty nails and opted to have my digits cut to stubby-short (for practicality as well) and painted black. I don’t think the polish or the topcoat the manikurista used was good at all since as you can see (even with the shot all blurry), there are lots of bubbles and my forefinger’s already chipped. Same thing with my cousin who had her nails done as well. Oh well. Next time I will be having her use my nail polish, just happened I don’t have black polish at the moment.
Yay to short, dark nails. You remind me of myself. Most of the time, my nails are extremely short (contacts wearer here). I was never a fan of long talons. They’re too.. inconvenient.
Why don’t you try Gelish? It’s better than any regular nail polish. Even if you swipe it with acetone-soaked cotton, it stays smooth and glossy.
Will be keeping an eye out for Gelish, though the chances of that turning up in this sometimes somewhat-backward town is quite slim. 😐 I wear contact lenses too, and typing on a phone’s QWERTY keypad can be the pits with long talons. 😛
I love having short nails painted pussy red, or any other dark shade. Long nails are too not-today and unsophisticated. Lol. Except if they were painted French tip. I want to do my nails, I’m not contented with other people’s painting on my nails.
I used to do my own nails too, but has lately been quite lazy at it hence the manikurista. 😛 I am planning to remove this black polish a day or so after the Baptism anyway. Yeah, I find stubby nails painted pussy red or any dark polish quite chic. 🙂
ganyan talaga when you have a baby na, you keep the nails short so not to accidentally scratch her. 🙂
True, true. 🙂
Hooray for short nails! I feel uneasy whenever I see someone with long nails and then they keep on removing the dirt under the nails through other fingers (did i make any sense?) I love to paint short nails with red polish, never fails to give the “oomph” 🙂
I know just what you mean sis, about the long nails part! 😀 And yeah, short red nails look so much more chic than red talons. 😉
I’ve never been able to wear my nails long. I feel like I couldn’t function well with them. =)
I used to, back when I was reviewing. Which was kinda stupid since I wash my clothes and do the dishes. 😛
I like to have nail polish too but it seems like when I put it on my hand nails, it felt heavy. so i ended up putting nail polish on my toenails only hehe
I usually just paint my toenails and rarely my digits, I just wanted some kaartehan for the occasion. 😉 Haha.
black polish is really cute kahit anong length ng nails…..
Yeah, but not everyone can pull off long, black nails. I think. 😛
