In these photos I’m showing how my nails have grown with the gel during two weeks and how to fade out the gel line with a coat of clear nail polish.

If the gel/acrylic line next to the cuticle is filed carefully enough just one coat of clear nail polish is enough to fade out that line. After 3 weeks you might need a second coat of polish. If your nail-tech did a sloppy job there’s no product I know of that can get rid of that line unless you file and fix the nails.

I try and fix my nails every 3 weeks even if they haven’t lifted at all yet. In 3 weeks the shapes of the gel nails (so to speak) grow into a wrong spot and the nails don’t look beautiful anymore.

Here’s gel nails I did for my friend using silver and gold glitter. Unfortunately you can’t really see the different shades on this pic. Gel and silver glitter is from Cesars Secrets and gold glitter from eBay.

I think I have to fix my own nails very soon. Getting bored with this sheer-ish pink. Hmm, what should I do next…

I got tired of my nails chipping and peeling and I decided to use some uv-gel to get them back to being nice and long again. I did stiletto nails using clear tip and pink glitter. You can see my natural nail having some lenght through the tip cos I didn’t want to trim them shorter. That way I can get my own nail to grow faster. I like having my natural nail under the gel instead 0f tips.

The pink color is stunning and pics don’t do it any justice. I have a lot of ideas for what I’m going to do next but we’ll see if I have energy to fix these even once :P Now I just wait to get some more length on these and next time I’ll get even prettier shape.

These are not perfect stilettos but this is the shape I like so this is what I do :D

This nail-a-holic has been extremely lazy lately when it comes to taking care of her nails and the result can be seen on the pic. Short, uneven length and peeling nails. Bleh!

I’m trying my best to take better care of my nails from now on so I can have my long and beautiful nails back. While they grow back I’m still going to take pics of nail polish and I hope people won’t be bothered by the fact that for a while my nails will be different length and shape and won’t look all that pretty ;)

I’m still here even though I have been taking quite a long break from blogging. Maybe I can finally find some inspiration to write again. I took some photos of few of the things I’ve bought/got lately and I’ll write more detailed reviews of these products later. Tomorrow I’ll show you my poor, short, neglected nails. I hope I can also find some inspiration to take care of and grow my nails again :P

Monkey see monkey do ;) Polishaholic also has a Facebook page now. You can find the link on the right side of the page. Now I only have to figure out how to work with that thing ;D

Here’s a couple of photos of my Christmas makeup look. I apologize for the crappy quality of the photos. Light was lousy and camera washed out all the colors :/ I liked this look so much though I’ll probably do it again and take better pics next time.

I used Dior 5 Couleurs 569 Golds with YSL Colour Harmony For Eyes palette number 6. From Golds I used the two upper corner shades + the middle shade for blending. From YSL palette I used the shades 5 and 3. In this look I had light gold in the inner corner of my eye, YSL shade 3 in the middle and outer corner was dark green. The green changes into red’ish brown on the crease. The colors just don’t show too well in the photos. Liner is golden H&M Glitter Eyeliner and the mascara is Maybelline Colossal Volum’ Express.

I added pics of the eyeshadows and a swatch photo of Dior Golds too. Golds is highly pigmented and gorgeous golden palette.
