MUA nail polish swatches

Each of these had two coats, some colours could have done with another coat but I done these as quick as I could before the girls caught me and I didn't want to waste to much of the nail polish as if your a MUA nail polish owner you'll know the bottles aren't the biggest.

super bargain buy - o.p.i nail lacquer

Today I popped into the 99p store to get some more Halloween bits for the girls Halloween party, while there in there it started raining really hard so i went round to an isle to look for an umbrella but they only had the kind i'm scared of lol. While down that isle i came across loads of O.P.I shatter nail laquer in numerous colours I don't know if these are fakes or ones that are meant to be thrown, The bar code on the bottom has a pen line through it, I've never purchased O.P.I nail polish before so I wouldn't know if they were fake without researching online for abit but either way for 99p could I really go wrong? either way it's a bonus :)

So gelish really isn't for me

Freshly done

Just over a week old ^

Just after ripping a few of my acrylics off i ripped one a little to low down which meant i couldn't just go in for a infill or a take off and a fresh set :(

so i opted for gelish to help my nail repair from the rips and so i could still get things done as i can't stand the grated ruff feel of my nails once acrylics come off.

Anyway to the point I've had gelish for just over a week and my thumb one has chipped, first my index started lifting and peeled off, next was my middle finger 

a few others are lifting off too :(

i guess I'm just to rough/heavy handed for gelish and it's acrylics all the way for me

did you get on with gelish?

First time having Gelish

I usually have acrylic nails but i leave the infills for as long as possible but this time i left it just a little to long :( my nails kept bending making the ends near the cuticle flick up which makes me feel sick so as soon as a nail done that i bit them off (not a good idea i know) i really didn't have the money spare to go for my infill, so off came one.....

and then another one.....

As you can see in the picture the second ripped down just a little to far :( i could feel it hurting but because i was already half way there was no way i stopping then i noticed how far down it had actually ripped and freaked out like a total girl, anything lower than the first nail makes me feel really sick just the thought of it being that low down makes me cringe and if it touches anything, after days of having a plaster and trying my hardest not to touch anything with that finger i went and had them soaked off and had some Gelish on them to help me deal with getting on with day to day tasks (i can't stand the grated feel of the nail or how flimsy my natural nail is after some acrylics) my nails had grown to the same length as the acrylic and they were due a take off and a fresh set because the nail had started lifting away, I can't stand having naturally long nails the whole bending,splitting and tearing drives me nuts so when they were off they HAD to be cut down.

I feel so naked without my acrylics on :( although it feels good to actually feel my keyboard and being able to pick things up off the floor or side properly, Am i put off having acrylics? hell no as soon as that nail has grown back I'm getting those babies back!! If i could deal with naturally long nails I'd defiantly have gelish nails more often
