Just before my mom passed away, my sisters and I offered to paint her nails. Mom was already non verbal and very near the end of her days on earth. One sister suggested hot pink, my other sister suggested Essie Ballet Slippers. The last word my mom ever spoke was "Ballet Slipper". Unfortunately, my Mother went to be with God a few hours later and we didn't have an opportunity to paint them. We brought the paint to the funeral home a few days later, determined to fufill her last request. When we went to the casket intending to paint them, nail polish bottle in hand, the funeral home had already painted them; in Ballet Slipper!!! We even had to ask to confirm and it was the exact same brand and the exact same color. Thank you Suzie for bringing me this surprise reminder of my mom. God works in mysterious ways.

That is a professional nail polish she used today in this video. Essie is well-known and wins Awards still to this day from the day they popped onto the market decades ago. It's just now recently in about the last decade it's been available more so to the general public than ever before. It's also a very affordable durable professional nail polish.

Non-latex makeup sponges have smaller bubbles/holes so they leave less sponge markings in the gradient. Just did a dark purple/magenta gradient and got soooo many compliments in the office! If you have short nails with no tips grab liquid latex for your cuticles way less cleanup.

I'm sure the Queen is a lovely person, but she's really demanding about what others wear. Did you know that none of the women in the Royal Family are allowed to wear nail art, or polish darker than their skin? Only nude colors, and no nail art of any kind! No stones, no stamping, no hand painted art, nothing! I think they can get away with a French manicure or French fade look if they are willing to stick their necks out a little bit. I'm sure they are risking a dressing down if the Queen notices, however. I would *hate* the nail polish rules if I were a member of the Royal Family.

Try using a brush/sponge on latex barrier first. Place it on the skin around your nail, and let dry (30-60 seconds of air drying and proceed from there. Once you're done painting your nails, simply use a pair of tweezers to literally just pull that latex (and any mistakes) right on off! 😁 You can easily find it in the nail section, online, etc. for ~$10 USD. A lot cheaper than the gas & cost of a polish change, and a time saver too. Even easier with gel polish- you remove it BEFORE you place your nail in the lamp to cure. TOTAL game changer for me, bc I'm clumsy 😂. MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HAVE A LATEX ALLERGY BEFORE USING!! Otherwise, it's SO WORTH IT.
