that's funny...i rip off pieces of mine(same type..cheap sponges) i find a smaller nail sized piece is so much easier to control...not to mention frugal! and for the original question...make sure your sponge is slightly damp!!

Wet the sponge!!!! Doh, why didn't I think of that!! I just did my first one today and I couldn't figure out why it didn't look like some I had seen. I looks fine for a first attempt. I will post pics after some of the excess wears off...I am terrible at clean up!! Lol
 
Hi, you mentioned Bondi New York nail polish. I was just wondering where this brand can be purchased ? I live in Connecticut never heard of the brand. Thanx, Makeup Maven 1

 
Not sure if we are allowed to post links so I would google Bondi new york ad you will find it. You can purchase online. they have a subscription box but are currnetly back on shipping items.

Nobody in this thread said anything about Bondi at all... Hrm....

 
@Christa W : Angismith and I had mentioned it on the first page as a possibility to use for stamping. I believe that is what Makeup Maven1 was referring to.

My bad.  Just thought it was strange since I didn't see it.

They do sell it in some Bondi stores if you check out the web site you can see a list of physical locations.  I know there is confirmed one store open in NY.  Not sure how close you are as the person I know in CT goes to NYC all the time but that might be an option if you are close enough.

Also I feel like the worlds biggest jerk.  I sent a PM, I don't want you guys to think I am a mean girl.  Having a terrible week and I didn't mean anything by it.

Links are allowed but nothing with a referral or affiliate code.

 
Joining you ladies. Now that my nails have finally stopped peeling I can grow them out and do some nail art.

One way that has helped me is to use a glass nail file.  I am also interested in hearing what she did.

 
@Christa W , yes, I am terribly offended (; I actually understand because it has happened to me before that I posted in the wrong thread so I know how this could be confusing. I know you weren't being mean, I just know how Bondi is something some people do not want to talk about right now so I so I just wanted to point out where it was mentioned really quick so we can pack that topic in a corner. I hope I wasn't too harsh!

Also I have started to use a glas file and love it. My nails break so easy.

I have done a polkadot manicure with different green and blue tones. I have never done one like that before and it was fun. I don't have any tools for it so I used the longer end of a bobby pin-worked well!

Long story! lol  My nails started peeling badly in October. I have used so many nail treatments and have been taken biotin. None of those seemed to work. I got sick of not being able to paint my nails so I put nail tips and gel on my nails. I hated those so I filed it all off with in 3 days.

After that my nails were thin and horrible looking. Someone on this board mentioned Nailtiques so I looked it up and purchased Nailtiques 2plus. I used it everyday for 2 weeks. No nail polish and my nails looked and felt 100% better. After that I would put 2 coats of the nailtiques on and them polish my nails. I did this every 3 days. It has now been 2 months and my nails are in perfect health. I am ready to step down to just regular Nailtiques 2. It is a bit pricey but worth it to me.

If I were at a bar I would order drinks for all.  Maybe I should offer polish for all. 

I love polka dotticures!!!  I need more practice.  I wish I had known about the bobby pin trick before I bought my tools.  I always wanted to do it but never realized I had a way to do this whole time!

 
Polka Dotticures!!! I love it. As well as drinks for all ! (Is it 5PM yet? haha). I just didn;t have any tools so that's what I used. I think I need a bit practice to get it even but i will try again this weekend. I also nee dto pick up stamping again. I had ordered some tape... I don't know the proper english word.... it's spools of sticky stripes you can cut as long as you need them and use for nail art. Anyone know what I am talking about? really cheap from china in metalic colors? I am just wondering what kind of nail art to use it for...

I have only ever used striping tape for doing this.  There are tons more ladies here that are far more talented with it than I am.  I seem to always want to use it on textured polishes which aren't the easiest to work with sometimes.

Best way is to order on Amazon/Ebay but if you want to try it and don't mind spending a little more at Walmart there is the Fing'rs nail art supplies and they sell 3 small rolls for $2.48.  Compared to the 10 rolls for like a few cents if you order from China that's a lot but it helps if you are like me and demand instant gratification.
