RE: Make-up, Too much?

in WORLD OF XPILAR24 days ago

Your nails look too good. These are the gel ones? Right? You have to kind of make a nail out of some resin and shape it on spot? And the colour... I don't know if I can ever pull it off! Bravo

Yes, I also like applying nail polish. One of my favourites actually and I find it therapeutic indeed. But there is an issue. We can't perform ablution (waddu/ wazu), a prerequisite before offering namaz. So, I slowly gave it up. Now, there are some brands in market which claim to sell breathable nail enamels. Maybe I will buy one of those.

Thank you for stopping by :) and for this beautiful picture!

Yeah well, the colour is not my style, to be honest ;-)) I'd chosen the colour I liked least for my first attempt - I was so sure I'd have to sand it all down again and repeat many times until it worked.

And yes, you're absolutely right: you can either apply the gel and model it directly on the nail or use a plastic mould first, which you can remove once the gel has hardened. That's how I did it at first, because it seemed easier to me.

However, I have never heard of breathable nail polish... Would be cool, not just for ceremonial occasions.

That's cool!

They are advertised as porous polishes. So they are water permeable (according to them). Yes, apart from religious reasons, they would (or should) be more comfortable to wear for extended periods. I will buy, try, and then give you a feedback ;)
