Out of power

Hello my dear readers.

First of all, wow, that was a great response to my latest post. If we unite, be can beat the ignorance and rudeness around our cosy and beautiful NB world. Thanks to you who shared their thoughts as well and had spread the post.

Secondly, I seem to lose my inspiration slowly, now mostly I feel like going barenailed or with just a clear polish on. I seem to be more and more fond of the natural look and I get tired of all the brighties. And somehow I'm on the dark wave at the same time! But anyway, I don't feel like changing my nail look that often as I used to do.
That doesn't mean I quit blogging – no! I just may post a little less often. I still have stuff to share with you guys, I have a lot of captured ideas (on paper) I'd be happy to see you make real as well. And I'm on my way to change the blog attitude, maybe not entirely, but I want to improve it and get onto some new post style. Well, enough ramble about it – I just hope you'll see! :)

Today I want to share my natural look with you, with just a clear polish on. And, I must add, I wear it just to keep the nail strong.
As you can see, some yellowing is still on, though I desperately try to whiten my nails, without drying the hell out of them. Any suggestions?



What about you? Do you love your unpolished claws or never leave home without some colour on?
I'm sending some positive energy to anyone who reads it! Thanks y'all :)

Clean Nails

Hello! Sometimes, you know, our nails gotta have their holidays too. Well, that's time for these to be naked and clean! Once in a while, when I'll change my nail polish, I'll leave my nails unpainted for a couple of days (mostly because my boy some kind of asked me to).

Currenty, I'm on my countryside helping my grandma. Y'know that all this garden business can ruin your mani, right? :D
So here are my naked nails, 3mm off the nailbed. With some flower...how pretty is it?
As you can see, these are quite yellow at the tips, semi-transparent in some places. Normally (let's say it's ok) they're quite heavily ridged, so I just buff them until the ridges are minimized and I still don't do any damage...(I hope so!). And for some cuticle softening there is Lemony Flutter to help. ♥ it.
The problem of yellowing (IDK, is it staining or possibly health?) really bothers me. I've soaked them in lemon juice, combined baking soda with it, baking powder with peroxide, peroxide-water solution... Nothing helped. What should I do?
Please, share your ways of whitening nails, if you do that!
