How timely, right now they are naked and I'm trying to pick something. I have several untrieds to make my way through. I just got the latest For The Love Of Polish box, my PPU order, some Zoyas, a few Cirques, and a couple HHC choices and can't decide which color to use.
I just typed all this out and realized it's 4/20 and I just got Cirque High Society in the mail and that's what I'm going with. It has little MJ leaves to go with it but I'll be skipping those. 💚👽

Olive & June OJPAS. It's a silver shade. Very easy to apply and is fun to wear.

Hope and wishful thinking. No, that's not the name of a polish! I'm hoping and wishing for my nails to grow after the abuse they've taken. I've been wearing press-on nails and when I took them off last time it absolutely wrecked my nails. Anything I put on my nails- any acrylic, gel, dip, etc, etc ruins them. I either have to be happy just painting the little short things or deal with the aftermath of the ruins! Right now I'd be happy for them to grow out enough to even put polish on. I have a clear, 'hard as nails' coat on them but that's it. They were all down to the quick. Not pretty!

I thought they were a safe alternative. I have so much trouble growing my nails. I think my anxiety just constantly has me either picking on them or putting them in my mouth. Sorry to hi-jack the thread. So..right now there is nothing in my nails. Not even nail strengthener.

Have you tried OPI's Nail Envy? It's a fantastic strengthener/treatment to get them back into good nick, which I have had great (and pretty quick!) results from in the past.

You can’t call that a boring colour! 😁 It’s one of my summer favourites 😊 I’m wearing OPI Put it in Neutral which imm slightly disappointed with,..it’s a little too peach for my choice of nude so it won’t be on for long. Next will probably be Wonders of OPI, a soft pink/lilac.

I used to be so good at doing my nails every week but I have gotten lazy the past few years.

I'm sorry, it's been ages since I used it. Hopefully someone can read the instructions for you and let you know

Yes you can put regular polish over the Nail Envy (though NE has never really worked for me, just makes my nails more brittle--it's a protein treatment but I actually need more moisture).
I'm using Chirality Factory Reset right now and am fairly pleased, but honestly, nothing is going to help me with this hand sanitizer we use at work. Ever since the hospital switched brands I've been unable to grow my nails, they are just too brittle.
But I still keep them polished at all times. Short nails look good polished too, especially dark colors that can look kind of witchy on longer nails.
ETA many people love Nail Envy, I didn't mean to say it won't work for you. It's kind of trial and error.

Olive and June, a light periwinkle on all but ring finger with a darker purply blue and a little daisy sticker on those. (I know I'm not the first or the last, but although the sentiment behind their names is nice, I hate the initials. I read somewhere that they tried using names but Zoya sued them.)
I'm new to O&J but have been pretty impressed so far. I never (and I do mean never) get more than 2 days out of any polish, including the gel-like ones. This is my first try with their whole system, but so far I am on day 3 with not even a teeny nick, and I was doing things like digging around in the garbage disposal last night! I got their mani system, the ridge filler, and the strengthener and used it all for this particular mani. I was impressed though when I tried just their color and ridge filler without the top coat or anything - I still got pretty good wear. I'm thinking I may break down and get the pedi system, too. Anyone have any thoughts on that?
I've also tried Essie's new to me base coat Here to Stay, and it seems to work great for me as well.

I used to love their Nicole by OPI nourishing base coat and I still have one bottle left. Also loved Barielle with Argan oil. Whenever I love something, it gets discontinued. 🙄
