Do you ever paint the underside of your nails along with the top? For some reason I find that I have to but everyone else thinks I'm nuts. It really bothers me that the undersides are bare when the top is a nice color. I always love doing black on top with a good blood red on the bottom, kind of like Christian Louboutin heels, as ridiculous as that sounds.

Nope, never, and you actually shouldn’t do that at all. Your nails can’t breathe when you do that and they can get really weak that way. It’s the same as caking on thick makeup and not washing it off at night, your skin can’t breathe. I do understand what you mean and that sounds cool, but it’s really not good to do.

I no longer feel quite so bad about not reblogging lately.

I finally just logged in to the account I use to keep track of nail art and didn’t see a single post I was interested in reblogging. Almost all the nail blogs I follow are posting crackle nails and space/nebular/galaxy nails.

So, I’m sorry followers, but this blog’s still silent. Maybe I’ll be able to come up with something cool on my own to post, my nails are finally strong and long again.

I don’t always post detailed art like this since I try to keep this blog as simple as possible, but I totally love Spongebob. So even if I never do this, this is awesome and has to be on my blog!

Thanks for the submission! These are some of the best plaid nails I’ve seen.

It’s been a while since I water marbled!

Does anyone have a good tutorial on this?

I’m sorry I haven’t posted anything in a while.

I’ve been having trouble with my nails, they’ve gone back to being weaker and keep breaking, so I haven’t really been painting them lately which means I haven’t been looking at other nail blogs to get ideas from. I haven’t abandoned this blog, I’m just on a bit of a hiatus while I attempt to patiently let my nails get healthy again.

I’ve been taking vitamins formulated to help nails grow stronger and I’m wondering if somehow they’re making my nails brittle now, like maybe I’m supposed to take occasional breaks from them, I’ve been taking them nonstop for about a year. So I’m going to try that and see if it helps, and hopefully you’ll see more posts from me soon!

I haven’t been losing followers from my absence, and I thank you all for sticking with me, but I wanted to let you know what’s going on before you think I did indeed abandon the blog. Don’t feel obligated to stay just because I’m saying I’ll be back, but I hope you do! :)
