Round Table Revisited

[just_me_karen]

And so Lord of the String said unto the peoples, "Go forth anew. Seek a land you can call your own."

The people saw it was good.

So, on the last day the people said their solemn goodbyes and began the long journey to the promised new land.

And so began the new land and its people were joyous!

Welcome, to the Return of the Round Table known as...

"Round Table Revisited" (RTR)

We have got the best ever sofa bed.  It is a Moran leather fully sprung one that I swear is even more comfortable to sleep on than my own bed.  I must say I have slept on it a few times hahaha.

Anyway, I am totally destroyed.  I spent a hundred dollars a couple of days ago on fancy gel nail polish stuff and a led light thingo setup and I did a pretty good job with my 1st attempt and then I bit one of my nails off while I was watching Bridget Jones last night.

edit for typo.

I had better get movng here as I'm getting the evil eye from he who must be obeyed (well sometimes he thinks   )

Joono, stop biting your nails!

have a great day everyone 

[j*oono]

I was going so well too.  I can even tap my nails.  Before I bit it I could go tttt but now it is tttplonk.

What does the 'led' light do j*oono?  Was it supposed to harden the polish up more quickly?

I just cut all my nails because they were getting caught on the keyboard because they were too long lol.  Not like that ghastly photo of the woman with those revolting long, curling nails though yukkkkkk.

I have always used Revlon polish but just lately the polish seems to craze and I wonder whether it is the quick dry undercoat or the fast dry top coat which is affecting the polish itself.  Never seen that happen before.

I know, I know - hardly a first world problem lol

I can still go tttttttt though 

(edited because one rogue nail got caught on a key lol lol lol)

The led light thing is for gel nail polish or shellac gel nail polish. You stick your fingers under the light for 30 seconds and then they are totally dry and can't smudge. It won't dry without the light but this kind of polish just doesn't chip or crack and it stays looking nice and shiny for a couple of weeks.  It's hard to remove though.  That meant I had to spend more money on a gel nailpolish removal kit 😄

Normal nail polish gets wrecked on me just from doing the washing up.

[mtnlane]

If it is difficult to remove I will give it a miss although it sounds good.

I prefer to leave my nails unpolished on a regular basis for my nail health.  Never quite worked out whether that is valid or not though lol

I found that if I left the polish on too long, despite it still being perfect, when I took the polish off my nail beds used to ache.  It felt almost like my fingers were going to explode (not a nice feeling and perhaps not well described).  That is why I like to leave it off on a more regular basis now.

Often wondered how healthy your nails are under those acrylic nails people get applied - I cannot imagine they are good for the natural nail growth and nail bed health.

j*oono - don't you use rubber gloves when you are washing up?

.....which reminds me - better go and stack the dishwasher lol lol

[j*oono]

No.  I hate wearing rubber gloves for any reason.  If I must then I wear cotton gloves and then put the rubber gloves over them.

[mtnlane]

Even those cotton lined ones?

I can well understand your problems with your nails then j*oono.  In contrast, I cannot bear putting my hands in washing up water without them ....... I am not a 'Madge' ......... you're soaking in it ....... fan lol
