I like nail polish and I do my nails once every week, usually rotating different colours every week. This week I am wearing a darkish burgundy on my fingernails and the same colour on my toe nails.
There are few I have that are absolute favourites of mine and they are all different brands too.
There is one called First Blush from Sally Hansen and it makes your nails look so natural. I absolutely love that one but I have trouble finding it in the cosmetics stores.
My boyfriend bought me a shiny copper colour that looks so sweet on my nails. It's from a brand named Ruby Kisses.
I bought one that is a glazewear, it is the burgundy I mentioned and the brand name is Kusum. I like it cause it dries faster than anything!
I want to try some of those Avon nail polishes as well.
I got so many others that I like to wear too, but those three are my top favourites.
So tell me, how often do you put on nail polish?
Do you have any favourite colours or brands?
Do you like to put it on your toe nails too?
Do you go to a nail technician to get your nails done or do you do them at home? (I do mine at home)
Do you like weird colours? (I sometimes do)
Feel free to add in anything else I may have missed.

Hi roxanne. The only time I wear nail polish is when I'm about to go to an event like a wedding, birthday or something like that. I usually go up the road to a beauty parlor to have them done (part of pampering myself on the odd occasion LOL). I usually go for a light color so it looks like I am not wearing any. I don't like bright colors but I have on occassion worn shades of brown.
I have a wedding coming up so I'm going french this time round for both nails and toes :)

How often?
I used to wear nail polish all the time; you would never see me without it. Then I got a job where I was working with food, and was not allowed to wear nail polish so I would just wear it for special occasions. Now I no longer work with food, I wear it sometimes, when I can be bothered!!
Favourite colours or brands?
I really like Barry M's nail polishes, especially the bright red. It's lovely. I also wear black on my nails quite a lot (my nails are black at the moment, in fact)
Toe nails?
I have painted toe nails a fair bit, as I like wearing peep toe shoes when I go on a night out. They always look better if you have nicely painted toe nails ;)
Technician?
I had my nails done by a technician on Monday last week, and I don't ever want them doing again. They look nice, but she really cut up my cuticles and I have loads of hangnails now. It was quite painful too, when she was pushing my cuticles back. I prefer doing my own nails at home in all honesty!

I usually paint my nails about once a week. It's a habit I got into when I was younger and I tend to keep it up. I like to paint my toenails too, but I don't do it as often, especially if the weather is cold so I can't show it off. I always do my own nails, I've never had them done by a technician but I might for a special occasion (I like the ones with little designs or crystals. I could never do that myself). I love all types of nail colors, and what I like to wear depends on my mood. My current favorite is a deep reddish-brown made by Sally Hansen. That's one of my favorite brands. The colors are all really nice and it goes on smoothly. Another favorite of mine is a copper one from Revlon that dries very fast.

I love red, burgundy, deep purple, tan and beige. I also love french manicure. its really nice and classy. I wear nail polish often. but i make sure that i give my nails time to rest. there's always a one week rest in between manicures. do you always have the same color on your fingernails and toenails? Ive been told that different colors on your fingernails and toenails is a no-no. Unless you're wearing a natural color on your fingernails and a different color on your toes, and vise versa.
