Au Naturel with China Glaze Love Letters
What in the world? This is a nail polish blog. You don’t want to see my naked-tipped fingers! But alas, I did not set out to do an au naturel nail post. I actually used three coats of polish, China Glaze Love Letters. I knew this would be sheer. I knew it would be natural. But, in fact, it’s like a zero. Like it doesn’t exist. It’s like a clear topcoat, but yellower. A reverse mani. Worse than when I started. But in fairness to this polish, I NEVER go without polish. So the sight of my nailbeds outside the confines of my polish room is shocking (some may find it shocking that I even have a polish room). I suppose to the non lacquer-addicted, this may indeed be appealing. But I’m afraid the chances of a non polish addict coming across my blog are slim.
It doesn’t look so yellow in this shot. But still…yuck. I hate to say it, but something about long natural nails looks unsanitary to me. They are begging for a shiny coat of color.
What’s my number one tip for achieving healthy, long nails? Keep them polished. Always. Never. Go. Without. Polish. Trust me.
Disclosure: I have no material connection to the products used in this post.
I feel privelaged to get to see what your natural nails look like. The bottle looked so promising :(
Yes. The polish did look promising, didn’t it? It is a RARE occasion that my nails are bare these days! Thanks for reading!
I am a non polish addict and I love your blog!
Great! I’m actually reaching my non-target demographic! :)
I think your nails look gorgeous!! They don’t look stained at all.
I agree with you about keeping your nails polished all the time. That’s the only reason my nails can get as long as they do.
Thank you, Angie. Yes…keeping polish on 24-7 is my best (and only) tip! Thanks for reading.
I agree completely! I have a naked nail phobia I have only just started to accept sheer polishes too!
Idk, I find that once in a while a polish break is really good for me! Then again, I don’t try to get them really long, I’m more trying to let the stains grow out a bit. :)
hello! i’m so envious of your nails. beautiful shape and color! i’m also ever so jealous of the fact that your cuticle areas are light – mine are dark and it’s n
