Getting Nailed Challenge for June 9th 2007:
I am wearing Essie's Fiji with Bikini with a Martini as a top coat. Fiji is a chalky ballerina pink color. Bikini is a sheer opalescent amethyst color. The combination is very pretty.
The snag is my nails are getting beat up fairly quickly.
What polish are you wearing this week?

OPI Vanillazuela with Mac Golded (from Moonbathe) as topcoat. Switching today to try Golded atop Essie's Mambo. Crazy for my new Mac Moonbathe!!!
I'm wearing OPI Will You Mari-achi Me?. It's a light lavender with a gold shimmer--very neutral for me. Thanks for the review of the Bitten line.
Orly Big Kahuna on tips, Ulta Lollipop on toesies!
Essie Bungle Jungle on toes, and the tips have a French manicure but that's gonna change today!
I'm into Chanel Jasmine on my fingers and Madness on my toes.
I am pretty hooked on the Zoya Lacquers they had when I got my nails done yesterday-- I went with 'Vivienne' which is a beige-y seashell color; although I might love Essie 'Soho Nude' a little more for the color the Zoya is vastly superior in terms of consistency and appearance. Next time I am going to the drugstore for a chalky, unadulterated neon pink, the cheapest I can find!

OPI Funny Bunny (mani) and Mod Hatter (pedi), they RULE (all shades of the new garden party collection are AWESOME)!!
Hi! YSL #10 orange magic on toes
& Orly Love each other (clear w/slight blue opal sparkle) on fingers.
I'm wearing China Glaze Vampy on my fingers, and China Glaze It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere on my toes. If your fingers are getting beaten up, it's probably time for a treatment basecoat. I know Dramaqueenie2 will have some great suggestions, I personally really love the Barielle line. There is one that is meant for "overworked fingernails" (I'm blanking on the name) that I love. Don't pay full price though, it's almost always at Marshall's or TJ Maxx for $5 instead of $15. I use a coat of this under China Glaze's ridge filler (very strong due to fiberglass in it), then Orly bonder before I even add my color.
Everyone: YOu have some great colors on this week! I wrote some down for future mani's.
Chistine: Thanks for the rec!
I am also going to try China Glaze's Ridge Filler. I am currently using Essie. It is good...but I am always looking for better!
OPI's Strawberry Margarita on tips (perfect medium bright pink creme) and Essie's Poor Li'l rich girl on toes (great dark red-brown creme). Poshe top coat which keeps anything from getting banged up.
essie, curtain call!
essie for both...sugar daddy on my toes, castaway on my nails. loving castaway - perfect bubblegum pink!
I am loving Lippmann's Sarah Smile (two coats as a base) and then OPI's Peace, Baby on top (1 or 2 coats). :)
