it looks like this, although i've never had peeling near the cuticle.

i did go yesterday so two days lol.. i would care about points but i care more about reaching rouge, and i simply cannot reveal where i am on that endeavor lol..

I used the nail treatment for a week and lucky it has not made my nails peel. I took it off because I wanted to try out some of my new polish.

alsa, the oxygen treatment made my nails peel! i have super crappy nails honestly. i mean i'm grateful i have fingers and nails that match accordingly but they're peely and always breaking. i'll have a nail pretty much fold and create a perforated edge that has no hope of staying on; only attached at the edges. what's the opi nail envy like? i need to know of your absolute best nail saving products, because nothing has helped me no matter how careful i am. i've tried nailtiques' protein coat, orly's calcium shield and now the oxygen treatment. for stats, i had three peeling nails, and now all ten are peeling. i think the orly calcium shield was helping them to not peel at least, even if not to be harder and thicker. i should try the biotin that some of you were discussing, too. i couldn't help but share my sephora haul, even if it isn't the right thread just because i was way too excited to even wait for the beauty event where different rewards tiers members get multiple points for every dollar instead of just single points. anyways, i'm insane, but i got the boudoir eyes palette from too faced, the sephora pro brush smudge brush #11, sephora liquid liner in glitter kaki, and sephora anti-bac daily brush cleaner. i also sort of ordered the smashbox master class palette #2... =)

I'm soooo looking forward to bonus points week! My husband got the master class 2 palette for me, but I don't get it until my bday..... Glass nail files helped me a lot with my peelies. Sorry if this is something you've already tried! I'm also sorry nailtiques didn't work for you! It has been my lifesaver. I hope you find something that helps! Maybe biotin or prenatal vitamins? Prenatal vitamins are awesome for your hair & nails!

Quite a haul, Rachel! I have been using Too Faced's primer, but the lippies I ordered did not appear in real life as they swatched on the 'net. I have never tried any of the Sephora brand products. And how did you "sort of order" - I need to learn that technique! Mine always end up "sort of" coming out of my bank account!

Rachel, try Seche's Rebuild. You may have to do some research as far as exactly which Seche product will work for your condition. Also, definitely check into the biotin. I take 5000mg twice a day, just for now until my nails get as healthy as I want them to stay, then I plan to cut back to 5000mg, once a day, probably at night since that is when our body does the most healing and restoring.

Be careful taking prenatal vitamins ... some vitamins will build up in your system and not wash out if you don't need them ... iron, for instance ... too much iron can do more damage than not enough.

Has NO ONE tried the Julep Nail Therapy that I asked about a couple of pages back? Am I gonna have to be the guinea pig for this prodcut?

 

[angismith]

Sorry if this is wrong place to post this ... hope moderators delete it if so.

Jessica,

Remember the conversation we had about college football colors: UT vs. Bama? Check out M. Arnett Designs on Facebook. She is making SEC vintage jewelry.

Was there ever a code for mystery picnic boxes?

 

[angismith]

No code that I know of CaptainSassy! It was unusual to have so many codes floating around from July/August anyway. I don't think I ever saw a code specifically for a mystery box.

No tracking no emails no nothing...my box just showed up today....

Which box was that?

I just got my August Maven box today (got the champagne trio I ordered later on Friday). Although, I'm in Canada so I'm used to getting stuff later than everyone else.

I have one Golden box and one picnic mystery box out there, waiting for someone to post a big picnic box!

The clear base coat that is green hued in the bottle right?  I've tried that, went through 1 bottle.  It didn't do any harm, but it didn't help any either, for me.  It was not a great base coat for me either, my Julep polish chipped in a day or so with it every time.

some mystery boxes coming through ^__^ courtesy of: https://www.facebook.com/groups/247031492082531/

(regular...I think -- "Came with 4 polishes and one lip scrub that smells like worthers originals ")



(big box -- "Picnic Mystery Big Box Version 2: Jazz Trio, Dianna, Clara, Layne, Evie, Fina, Mischa and Lauren. 2 Add-ons: Beach Walk- Lena, Tina and Korin. Love Letter- Demi, Joy and Chelsea.")



(regular...? she says 3 were addons)



(big picnic)

[deactivateduser232015]

So it seems the normal box is lip scrub + 4 polishes (one Evie) for $25, and the big box is lipstick trio + 7 polishes (one Evie) for $40

 

[foxyroxy-26]

So its roughly 5$ a product. Which isn't that bad of a deal.
