I swear by Deborah Lippmann's Cuticle Remover and Cuticle Oil. I push my cuticles back EVERY manicure.Originally Posted by Kyuu /img/forum/go_quote.gif
can't wait!! just did my nails. i'll probably take pictures tomorrow and post though. I'm sure mine won't be nearly as love as y'alls XD
on a slightly OT note, what does everyone use for cuticle remover? I'm a bad girl and don't usually use any ^^;; my cuticles are generally in good condition so I've never felt the need, but now I want to take them to the next level of Perfection lol. I've heard good things about the Sally Hansen one...
That's part of the fun of the challenge, learning and trying new nail techniques! I'm pretty good at nails, but I've never tried some of the things on the challenge list, so I'm looking forward to trying them even if I fail at it....it'll still be new and fun! I can't wait to see what you and everyone else comes up with /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />Originally Posted by txsfajsmama /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I definitely don't have the skills to do a lot of the manis on the list, but I think in gonna give it a whirl anyway. When I get home from work, I'll get my red going.
That's the great thing about this version of the challenge, we get to take our time in posting..so you just post whenever you can! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />Originally Posted by trekkersangel /img/forum/go_quote.gif
Thanks for this guys! I can't even tell you how many times I sit & stare at my polishes trying to figure out what I want to do with them & then usually just don't do anything!
I just did my red mani & I'm excited. I feel like I accomplished something tonight! I will post pics tomorrow after its cleaned up a bit. With school starting for my kids on Tuesday, I was interrupted & bumped several times while painting with inquiries about 1st day of school outfits, hair, shoes, & more! The joys of having 3 girls in school. ;-). I've got red polish all over the place! Ha ha ha.
Thanks again for the challenge. Will you please post "how to's" on some of the techniques as they come up? I can't wait to learn how to do some of these fun things I see on here all the time!
Love this mani. I want to try it out soon!Originally Posted by lissa1307 /img/forum/go_quote.gif

Trix, don't forget to post this up on IG with our hashtag #30manis2013 if you want to!
This is the first one I've used and I really like it. It went on like buttah! I may thin it a skoche because it's a smidge on the goopy side but I think it's been sitting on a shelf for a while. I got it from a Llarowe scratch & dent mystery grab bag. I really love the colors they come up with and the fact that there isn't a feeding frenzy surrounding the brand so they're attainable as well as affordable. I also own Saint George, which is gorgeous, but I haven't used it yet. I'm hoping to work it in during the marathon somewhere.Originally Posted by invisiblebike /img/forum/go_quote.gif
