My First Nail Tutorial

OPI - Fiji Weejee Fawn

Etude House - Hot Pink

Etude House - Silver Glitter 

Etude House - Rhinestones 

I painted the nails with 
Fiji Weejee Fawn, Added
random blobs of pink then 
went on the outside 
with a toothpick/pen/match 
Whatever I have handy
and did the black bits.
After that I added some
stripes with glitter polish
& Rhinestones

( Had a video of this but 
I removed it as it was 
hard to see / crap 
quality )

How to prevent/get rid of yellow nails

First - We have to examine what makes nails go yellow

Its either one or a combination of the following things:

-Using a dark colored nail polish often esp with no basecoat

-Smoking

-Vitamin Deficiency (try some iron or zinc tablets)

-Fungal Infection (they will look thickened and crumbly)

-Liver Problem

So, If its not a medical problem

The following instructions will tell you the best 
way to brighten your nails.

If you think you might have a medical condition

such as something wrong with your liver, please go to

the doctor.Your nails are a very good way to measure

your bodily health.

1) Go to the pharmacy and buy some denture tablets

specifically for making teeth whiter

Now take a bowl of warm water put
in a couple tablets and let your nails 
soak for as long as possible.

Watch tv or something while you wait.

Try and keep them in for at least 15 mins.


When you get tired of them being in there 
take them out and squeeze some lemon juice 
all over the nails. Let this soak in for at 
least 10 mins.

Wash your hands

Take your 4 sided nail buffer that I
mentioned in my earlier post on nail care

Now put on some cuticle cream

& also put on a nice hand lotion.

You should give your nails a break from 
nail polish every now and then esp if you are 
trying to brighten your nails.

If you must wear some - use a couple coats of
basecoat & light colors.

Also - It will definitely benefit you to take a Iron

vitamin in general but esp. for this problem of 

yellow nails.

REPEAT THIS EVERY OTHER DAY UNTIL 
YOU SEE IMPROVEMENT

If you never see improvement - you might have an

underlying medical condition. Seek help accordingly :)

--------------------


[Nails grow at an average rate of 

3 millimeters a month ( 1/8 inch)

Fingernails require 3 to 6 months 

to regrow completely ]

Be patient and eventually your nails 
will whiten and/or fresh 

new nails will grow out. 

& now that you've changed your habits 

they will be a normal color 

& little by little you can cut 
off the yellow part.

Good Luck !

Lilac & Taupe Randomness

More and more I see stars with totally 

mixmatched random nails. I wanted to

try it out using my new OPI nail polish.

I used my base coat  (2 coats) then:

Over the Taupe OPI                          

& Done Out in Deco ( both 2 coats)

1. Painted 2 fingers with the
Lilac and 3 with the brown.

2. I only added a stripe and dots 
to 2 nails. Do whatever you like !
