I do a really simple soft pink with those manis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-32780 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 08:57:17 +0000 PitBulLover 32780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always paint my toes, but hardly ever have anything but clear on my fingers. I just like the look of plain nails on myself </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-32765 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 08:26:36 +0000 mrsjyw 32765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! It's my me-time activity that makes me feel girly in all of life's "busy" ness. I plan to upkeep post-babies too. It's my guilty pleasure.</p> <p>I've been doing shellac/gel nails for the last year or so, but recently came across Essie's "Good to Go" top coat... and it's amazing on home manicures! :) No chips! No bedsheet lines! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-32758 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 06:30:47 +0000 looch 32758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am going to try the gel nails on my hands and see how I fare. I love the look, but a polish only lasts me three days before I get chips! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-32739 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 23:54:46 +0000 lemondrop 32739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I can't keep paint on them to save my life, I'm too rough on them. The paint also makes them too brittle, so I quit mostly because of that, secondary due to laziness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-32304 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 14:10:48 +0000 HabesBabe 32304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I paint my nails and then just let them chip away... I last got a pedicure in August for a wedding I was in, and I still have some polish on my big toe! Same with my fingernails-- painted them in late October and I still have some on my thumbnails. Not a good look! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-32301 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 14:08:17 +0000 enjollah 32301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually have my toes painted. Last week I successfully painted my toes. I gotta say at 29 weeks pregnant, it was a little uncomfortable but glad I saved myself $20! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-32242 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 13:30:37 +0000 mamabolt 32242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always paint my toenails but never my fingernails. I'm just too rough on my hands so they always end up chipped, and I hate looking at chipped polish. The new UV polishes have me reconsidering though, I might have to try that at some point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-32116 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 12:07:36 +0000 safdxb 32116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go fairly regularly, and considering my regular place is just downstairs from my husbands office I usually pop in for a visit then go get my nails done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-32104 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 11:58:45 +0000 eupenmalmody 32104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get regular manicures and pedicures since moving into Manhattan as there is a place less than 1 block away fro m my apartment that is amazing and super cheap. Not sure how that will change once I have the baby - but my hope is that going to get my nails done will be my starting point for leaving the baby home with my husband. It will only be for 1 hour, I'm less than 1 block away, gives him time with the baby without me, etc....but still makes me super nervous, even though I know he is more than capable to take care of our little one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-31991 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 10:48:53 +0000 ladyfingers 31991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I'm feeling saucy, I'll paint my nails. I get frustrated because it takes so long to wait between coats and wait to dry. I always keep my toenails painted (even if the polish isn't exactly up-to-date...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-31981 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 10:38:01 +0000 mediagirl 31981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have tried, I really do but I just can't seem to keep them nice. I'll inevitably smudge one immediately. The others will then start chipping within a day and I'll have a handful of ugly for a few days before the nail polish remover comes out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-31977 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 10:32:17 +0000 Mrsbells 31977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rarely paint my nails. I love cooking and I always feel a good cook shouldnt have painted nails becuse sometimes it chips and goes into the food. Its probably harmless but I dont like to do it. I do paint my toe nails in the summer when they will be on display. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-31952 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 09:42:48 +0000 Mrs. Bee 31952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no they chip too quickly because i was my hands so frequently. in the summer i get regular pedicures, but don't bother in the winter since i always wear uggs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-31951 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 09:42:16 +0000 tequiero21 31951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my toes are always painted (even in winter haha)... but only paint my nails when i get a manicure, which is usually on a special occasion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-31888 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 06:39:52 +0000 tessabella76 31888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No kids yet but my nails and toes are always painted. I have way too much nail polish. I'm a little obsessed ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-31883 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 06:11:50 +0000 rachiecakes 31883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My nails break really easily if they're not painted, so most of the time they are. I've been getting shellac on my hands every 3 weeks or so. I just get them cut short an use a light pink or clear and it lasts that long, sometimes longer, on me.<br /> I love getting my toes painted/massage, so I try to do that at the same time. Especially since being horribly swollen with this pregnancy. It's one thing I can do to feel pretty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-31878 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 04:29:56 +0000 looch 31878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am really hard on my hands, so they are usually polish free. I've not had regular salon pedicures in a long time because the Europeans just don't do it like they do in America. I go at least twice though whenever I'm visiting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-31876 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 03:02:37 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 31876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love to paint my nails, especially colors like lime green and orange. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-31869 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 01:51:45 +0000 Red 31869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My toes are always painted and my fingers are painted about 50% of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-31830 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 23:30:04 +0000 mynoahbear 31830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My toes are always painted but only do my nails sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-31730 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 21:19:58 +0000 Rosie Girl 31730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I do! Until I lost my job, I actually had fake nails, and miss them so much :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-31729 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 21:19:52 +0000 LinzR 31729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I paint my nails every Sunday. Weird, but Sunday is always a day off for me, so it is a routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-31702 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 20:52:34 +0000 Andrea 31702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I always do. I get gel manis and regular pedis. I don't like my nails to be plain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-31701 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 20:51:58 +0000 sulli301 31701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have clear, non toxic polish on my nails, the or else I just buff them to make them shiny. I ALWAYS have my toes painted :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-31696 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 20:47:27 +0000 heffalump 31696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't paint anything. Especially since I cut all my nails of when my LO came for fear of scratching her. I never painted my nails before though b/c it chips too easily. And now I'm just too lazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-paint-your-nails#post-31692 Sun, 11 Dec 2011 20:41:52 +0000 chopsuey 31692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to always paint my nails, but now that I have a LO my nails are paint free.<br /> :( I stopped when I saw chipped paint on my DD's head. -.-</p> <p>I still paint my toes though! </p>
