So I recently started growing out my natural nails and using polish. Having wet / not fully hardened polish on my nails is making realize how little attention, as a man, I ever paid to what my individual finger tips were doing as I went thru the day. Having one by one done something to damage the finish on the polish I just applied changed that quickly. I am now… I think the word I want is.. mindful… of what each finger is doing! lol… live and learn!
Thanks for the tip. nails are one of those procedures that take time and care and looking after them becomes part of the process.
Dear FingerNailers,
I have this thing, IF THEY AIN'T DONE, MISSION AIN'T COMPLETE....I can squeak by with mascara without false eyelashes but fingernails without length and or color is like heading out without my hair piece.
Since I need to plan ahead and identify precisely my window of opportunity, I use the 'night before plan'. If "Doll Up Day" is tomorrow, I'm doing my nails tonight. I've purchased 'extra short' almond nails. I've written down the 'size number' of the fake-nail to the designated fingernail. I lay them out. Pinky to thumb for the left hand. Thumb to pinky for the right. The nails are clean, dry, and oil free (rubbing alcohol and or bourbon). I have a pair of tweezers, a pair of ADJUSTABLE PLIERS and a OLD CREDIT CARD which I cut in half the LONG WAY using a pair of scissors.
According to the manufacturers instructions and using a pair of tweezers, grab the "stiff half" of the FAKE FINGERNAIL. I then dab glue onto the FAKE FINGER NAIL - "the flexible half." I place the FAKE FINGERNAIL onto the table, glued-side up. Next, I dab glue onto the real fingernail area- above the cuticle and up. With tweezers, REgrab the FAKE FINGERNAIL, place it onto my natural nail (at a 45 degree angle), gently position it IN LINE with my natural fingernail.
HERE COMES MY CRUCIAL STEP.......FOLD/BEND THE CREDIT CARD AROUND THE GLUED FINGERNAIL and APPLY PRESSURE WITH THE ADJUSTABLE PAIR OF PLIERS for 60 SECONDS....you will discover that if and when applying pressure with your own thumb and forefingers, you would have weakened the adhesion of those previously glued fingernails and they would have become your eventual 'POP OFF CASUALTIES'...It's the pressure from the PLIERS and the DISBURSEMENT of that PRESSURE with the aid of the PLASTIC CREDIT CARD which will 'hold your nails' throughout the night PLUS NOT LEAVE MARKINGS from THE PLIER MOUTH.
I'd like to hear from all you SEMI-NAILERS who aspire to my desire- Can't leave home without pretty nails, can't trust the 'gel stick pads'...and those nails ALWAYS POP OFF SOMETIME throughout the night. I guarantee, you'll be wearing them the DAY AFTER DOLL UP and THE DAY AFTER THAT...
Unless, of course, YOU HAVE A BETTER METHOD....ie a DRILL PRESS?!?!?!
Sincerely and With Love,
Thea
PS...Oops....Don't forget to PAINT!....

Just my personal input, but I have found painting my toenails so much easier than my fingernails. In the past week, I have painted my toenails, then 3 days later removed the nail varnish and applied a different colour. I actually found removing the first colour to be more hassle than applying it.
When it came to painting my fingernails..... well, that was when the fun started! Being right handed, painting my left hand nails was ok. They needed a slight touch up, but no drama. But using my left hand on my right side.... oh dear, 2 or 3 goes on some nails 🤦♀️
And next day, removing my fingernail polish so could go out in the world..... that took longer than applying it. No real point to this point, other than sharing my drama, and hopefully giving you all a chuckle.
Love, Tamara 💋
