Beauty Tip #4,985,432

I was up until nearly 1 this morning because I was painting mine and letting them dry...

There is a fabulous drying solution made by Essie--you can usually get it at Walmart, or Target, or Sally Beauty (whichever's closest to you)... Comes in a little clear bottle with a white, eyedropper cap. Just a couple of drops on freshly painted nails, and they'll dry quickly and set faster and harder than just waiting for them to dry on their own...

Great stuff!

(Oh, and BTW, Essie's color "Geranium" is a super-fab bright red-orange that's making me smile every time I look down at my nails... 😀)

Thanks, DD, for the laugh, and thanks, kitlit, for the beauty tip!:lol:

DD, I think we need some photographic documentation, just to be sure that we all see what NOT to do... :lol::wave:

Dang, I shoulda thought of that. It's already fixed. But, since i never remember my own beauty tips, you can be sure it'll happen again.

I'm a guy and still think that's funny :lol:

That's one way to ruin the sheets!!

This thread is cracking me up. photographic documentation. :lol:

You just fell asleep wrong - I always do my nails late at night, then take off the extra with a damp washcloth in the shower the next morning.

As long as you fall asleep properly so you don't get sheet lines, it's a great system.

P.S. if you do, a quick coat of "topcoat" fixes those lines.

:lol: Scooty, I will try to remember to fall asleep properly from now on.
Oh yeah, I had big old sheet lines, prints and all the shine was so gone. It took a couple of topcoats. :lol:

Yes, pics please!:lol:

While we're at it: Tip # 4,985,433

Never take a laxative and sleeping pill at the same time.

My nails wouldn't get done if I didn't do them before I go to sleep. And Scooter is correct, there is a right way and a wrong way to go to sleep with wet nails! You lie there with your fingers flat across your chest - and don't move!!!

Now granted, it looks like Stevie Wonder did my nails some times but the extra washes off after a couple of showers!!! :wave:

I slop on the polish, watch some tv, sleep, then take off the excess the next day by scrubbing with a wet washcloth.

Looks like a professional mani/pedi.

Never polish fingernails and toenails late at night and then fall asleep. :wave:

I have done that before! Not pretty!!:lol:
