By the way, I love the way you do your nail colors. Your nails are as exciting to stare at as much as your bling. I'm so boring... I do the same nail shade over and over again. You've inspired me... I'm going to live on the edge and get creative with my nails next visit! :biggrin:

Hehe you are too sweet! Thank you truly. I can’t wait to see what colors you choose for your nails! The only part I don’t like about doing my nails myself is that they never last for a long time! I was telling one of my girlfriends that they get chipped fast while doing laundry and dishes, aka living my sexy life :biggrin:

Your nails always look gorgeous. Have you thought about trying soft gel if you are not using now? I have been using it for a year and it last 2 weeks on my hands which is when I want to switch colour anyways. On my toes it lasts 4+ weeks but I redo after 4. I swim a fair bit at beach/pool and it still stays on well.

Thank you for your recommendation. I have never used soft gel before! If it lasts 2 weeks on my nails I will be doing the crazy happy dance I swear! :biggrin:… seems like this would be a life saver for me! Definitely going to try now. Thank you again:hbeat:

Glad that was helpful. Wanted to warn you though that the gel is either annoying to take off (have to soak it in polish remover soaked cotton) or you ruin your nails peeling it off. I chose the peeling off method since it only rips off a bit of the top of the nail and I always have polish on so you can not see what my natural nails look like. I am just not patient enough to soak the gel off since I can peel it off in a couple minutes (do it after a swim or shower). I figure nails grow out anyways. Besides the removal process everything else is better: gel is easier to apply, easier to fix mistakes, dries with a light in 60 seconds (no waiting to dry), is very smooth and looks more professional, and lasts longer.

I think bling can be worn casually every day in the same way that you could perhaps wear fashion jewelry like a blingy H CDC bracelet :biggrin:

@Lien, love how you wear the lotus

@jp824, I could definitely see you with a lotus if you are so inclined

hugs

@880 I love the lotus ring! I already tried it on for size. Saving it for next year as a milestone for when I turn 50… :smile:

Some recent pics. In hindsight, wearing the magic mop while boating is not such a great idea. Waters were choppy and I got soaked. As soon as I got back on dry land, I ran the necklace under cold water to rinse off the salt water and then dried it carefully. I hope I did the right thing :-s

It looks lovely and I'm sure it's just fine. After all, mother of pearl is shell--this is its' natural environment and it probably enjoyed the visit home!
