Every week??

Every week......I ride and swim every day and the polish is always chipping or a nail is always breaking. Gotta look glam for my DH's weekend plans !

Re: Do you keep your fingernails and toenails painted?

Yes, I get a manicure (natural nails) every 2 weeks and a pedicure once a month. That's what I do to treat myself. When I'm on vacation, I often take my polish off my hands and put a clear or slightly frosted polish on just to have something on my nails. I don't like bare nails anymore as I've been wearing polish for so many years that it looks funny without it.

I keep my fingernails shaped and buffed, but I only like polish on my toes.

Fingernails are always polished. Toenails are polished spring, summer and fall.

I'm the same.

My tootsies go nekkid in the winter to give them a break.

Pedis, yes.

Hands...just filed and clean for the most part. My nails are weak and have never grown much.

Mine used to be that way too. Then I started using Perfect Formula and they're strong and grow fast!

I tried that and every other product on.the market like it, including one that my salon sells.

Doesn't work for me. Makes them peel.

I'm.better off leaving them natural.

Re: Do you keep your fingernails and toenails painted?

I never had any luck with Perfect Formula.

Nailtiques #2 and Barielle liquid protein are what I used when I removed my acrylics (years ago) I still use Nailtiques #2 every few weeks as a base coat.

nope, polish seems like an added hassle in my life. And I wonder about animal testing.
