I also love glitter polishes but like you said, they are awful to get off. I always use a base coat and it's still a nightmare to get off.
I actually have tried the nail stickers before by Sally Hansen, they were pink glitter with black skulls and were super easy to apply. I will have to see if I can find them in the chevron stripes!

I've never tried the stickers, and prolly won't, it would take away the fun of painting them, lol. Today I'm wearing Zoya's Adina, a purple/green duochrome. <3

I like doing my own nails a lot too. I've only went to the salon to get french tips on my toes, but they looked great! But it's sad that once I paint my nails or put acrylics on it either chips off at work or with the acrylics makes it hard to work, so sadly they ruin fast. I've never had the gel thing...how does that work?
I love love love neon colors. I'm also obsessed with my deep blue polish...it looks amazing for some reason.

I've never had the gel thing...how does that work? I love love love neon colors. I'm also obsessed with my deep blue polish...it looks amazing for some reason. The shellac/gel manicure is a lot like having artificial gel nails. Where I get my nails done, they have shellac polishes by Creative Nail Design. They start off doing a normal manicure (soaking my fingers, cuticle trimming, shaping & filling, etc) then they put on the shellac clear base coat. They cure that under the UV light for a few minutes and then they put on a layer of the shellac color, cure that for a few minutes under the UV light, then one final coat of color which is once again cured under the UV light. They finish it off with a top coat and also cure that. Once that's done, my nails are super shiny and they dry within 5 minutes! So no waiting around at the salon getting bubbles in my nails for leaving them under the lights/fans too long and also, I can dig into my purse for my keys and wallet and don't have to worry about smudging my manicure. Also the manicure lasts on me 12-14 days with no chips and stays shiny.

Yeah I want to see pics of that too!
I had some fake nails on for about 4 days recently and then I just took them off today. They were kinda pretty with black and purple, but they were just too long. I really like the short length and petite nails better. I do have small hands, though.

Long nails drive me nuts! I wear contact lenses so it's hard to put them in and take them out with long nails. I would always ask for the "sport length" when I used to get fake nails at the salon. They make dealing with contacts easier and typing on the keyboard a breeze too!

That's me 325i.... I always got to have the sport length to use everything from my iPhone to computer... contacts... plus I think they are easier to keep clean...

So agree. It kinda drives me nuts thinking about how some of those ladies with really long nails are able to anything with ease with their hands, lol.
