Eileen, that wasn't a slam from janine, she was just commenting on the sudden re-sizing of pictures. It's happened to janine, Barb and myself.

WIC by Herôme - GrunA nail polish named after my hometown, how could I resist?
This didn't want to be photographed properly. It's orange-er, brighter, and just generally more awesome in person. Also, yes, I still have the hands of a giant.
It might have gone to the ladies room. Let's give it a few hours and see if it comes back.
Ooh! What color is that? It's gorgeous.I just have some shimmery turquoise on my toes and some generic multicolored glitter on my fingers. It's time for a change.

Fingers and toes still have the same color. I'm trying to decide what color to paint them, but it's always so difficult!

Ooh, I'll have to see if my Duane Reade has that one; it really is a beautiful color. I buy Sinful a lot cause they're so cheap and have a great range of colors, but I find the formulas can be a bit hit-or-miss. Some of them are really thin and streaky. Does that one apply decently?

Sorry I missed these posts, I haven't been on much. That particular Sinful shade (Rise and Shine) does go on quite nicely. It also has a bit of a matte finish (which is probably being altered by topcoat in the picture I posted). Today I just cleaned my most recent shade off my nails and am giving them a day of rest. Until a few hours ago they looked like this:

Hey jammies, as our polish and nails guru, can you give me some advice on proper cuticle care? Mine always look like shit and I'm not sure how to best take care of them.(And thanks to LG for the height/width pointer. I was getting sick of all my pics being ginormous.)

Wash your hands with the gentlest soap possible immediately after using polish remover, use acetone-free remover whenever possible, and moisturize your cuticles as often as you can, especially after using a harsh soap. Hope that helps!
j9, I think I like the goat better than the polish. :)
Today, I am wearing Borghese's Borghese Red with OPI's Go with the Flow-er... 2 coats of a hot pink shimmer 
under a coat of red gloss
My fingernails look like mini candy apples.
I am so jealous of anyone with pretty nails right now. I made a gum paste elephant to sit on top of a circus cake this weekend and my nails are still gross and black and dirty looking from the food coloring.
I just painted mine with OPI "Who the Shrek Are You?" last night, and then when eating a sandwich for lunch today realized my nails were the exact same color as the avocado on it.
(not my hand)
My toes are are currently painted with OPI "Absolutely Alice" -- nice and glittery.

Mm, love the first one, hate the second.
I hate the glitter.
I lurve glitter, although I don't have Absolutely Alice, I do have lots of glittery blue polishes. I may have to rethink the copper on my toesies.Heiderson, your mini-candy apple layering sounds perfect!
My fingernails are now a soft white with very tiny green, blue, purple, pink and copper glitter.
I've waffled on getting that one or Riveting, Barb, but I decided I'm happy with the only polish I got from that collection (Harvest Moon).
Mod
Yes, LG, it's from OPI's Holland Collection, so that's a fair retail price, but if you look, you can find it cheaper online. http://www.aluxabeauty.com/opinailpol...

and I'm excited about this one, Revlon Muse
For toes, because I don't do fingers.
Lilac with glitter, but it's all chippy.
Ooh, I like the shimmer in your Naughty, LG!Time for fuschia glitter, Laurin?

Not the ones I see! They're exactly the same size.

Hmmm...
mine are still naked. don't believe in nail polish. waste of money when you do dishes the old fashioned way or do much keyboard work.
