I don't get my nails done, though I like seeing women with pea green nails.

Really? I have some polish kinda that color. It's my favorite because it's different, but not too loud/weird for work. Whenever I use red nail polish, it feels like my hands belong to someone else.

I forgot to say, has anyone tried a half moon manicure? I'm not really into the nail art thing but I'd like to have a go at that one when I'm feeling patient!

I's that the one with the moon shape at the bottom that's a different color? I think I saw Dita Von Teese with a black and white one of those.

Ok, this is new to me.

"Rubber Hits the Road

British beauty brand Illamasqua just did something we thought was impossible: They have created an utterly new type of nail polish. Their just-out rubber-finish formula is pretty much what its name implies. The varnish—available in a range of ten snappy hues—goes on a tad gelatinous and sets into a tough, matte-jelly finish. This polish is sure to add a jaunty bounce to your texting fingers.
 SHOP NOW: Illamasqua Rubber Nail Varnish, $14"

What do you think? Personally, I'm intrigued.

I don't wear pearly or glittery finish ones, I prefer opaque colours. One I really like at the moment is 'Dove' by Zoya which is a nice neutral and the most recent one I bought is called 'Life Preserver' by China Glaze which is a burnt orange but not too bright; I have to be feeling confident to wear the latter as it's a bolder colour. I like taupes aswell. Also I did try a water based one but I can't get it to stay on for any length of time, I might try again because I don't like the smell of nail polish and that one was almost odour free.

I just got the "Life Preserver" shade and I love it! I also got a sheer coppery shade called "Macchiato", a grey shade (no name) and a grey-blue (no name). I got both grey shades in mini bottles.

To anyone that is interested. Sally Beauty Supply, http://www.sallybeauty.com Is having a sale on China Glaze nail polish.

Back when I was in the goth and rivethead scene, I would paint my nails black, silver with black circuit-board design, black with neon green circuit-board designs (or an inversion of the colors) or in woodlands camouflage. Nothing too feminine, since afterall, I am a male. It still didn't change the fact that some people thought that made me homosexual. To me, my nails were a mini-canvas, just like the rest of my body and anything I could get my hands on.

I always find myself wearing black polish the most.
Black goes with everything

I don't think I could ever go all the way to black. I have done deep purple, deep chocolate brown, and deep navy. I must say I do love my reds. The deeper the better. Just not creepy blood red.

Deep purples and navies are wonderful too
Maybe I should give it a try with deep red tones
Any recommendations?

Yes that's the kind of thing I meant. You can also just leave the moon bare, apparently that's how they did it originally. And sometimes had the end clear aswell although I'm not sure about that look myself.
I couldn't find anything about that rubber polish when I just looked, it sounds strange though!

Oh, I'm in the wrong country for that sale unfortunately otherwise I would have been tempted.

Sorry for two posts; I was having a bit of trouble with quoting, you'd think I would be able to do multiple quotes by now really. :oops:

I used to wear nail polish in my teens. If I was to wear it nowadays it wouldn't even last a few days. Plus my nails are never long enough (polish looks better on long nails).

This is my go-to red right now. It's called unbreakable heart. Two coats. It's like a really deep ruby.
It also matches my car.

Ah don't worry as shipping would probably negate any discount. Thankyou for that very kind offer though.

I'll carry on looking on ebay for cheap ones.
