Nail Art and Rope Burns

The other day I got my nails done after not having fakes for over 3 years. They're so much fun but hurt like a son-of-a-gun the first night for some reason.

You ladies that work outside, do you like fake nails or not? I love them but have to keep them short and filled in or else in a moment of boredom or stress I start picking at them and end up just ripping them off.

Which is like fun except totally different.

Some of the women I really look up to as ropers always have their nails done and with them in mind, here is some nail inspiration! Hope you ladies enjoy! :)












I think my favorites are the blue leopard (above the skeleton nails) and the dream catchers. Which do you like best?

    1. Oh dang, that's no good! Gels seem to be way more durable, love them! :)

  2. I LOVE the dreamcatcher nails! But everytime I get acrylics they tend to get ruined pretty quickly, and I have to keep my natural nails filed short to keep them from peeling and breaking. But I do keep them painted as wildly as possible :)

  3. I tried acrylics once, they caught on everything and hurt. I finally picked them all off.

  4. I've got to keep my nails short. It seems like whenever I get in a vehicle on a long trip I start chewing on them. I do really like Shellac though. A lot easier on my nails.

    1. I have a friend that chews on her fingernails and getting her nails done is the only way she doesn't just chew them off to the bone. I've never tried Shellac, I'll have to look it up!

    2. Yep Shellac is the way to go. My mom got her nails done and they lasted almost a month with Shellac.

  5. I Love acrylics! But theyre so hard on your natural nails. I totally have man hands, so nails help a ton. I'm super hard on them but if I have a good nail tech and keep them short its no big deal. My nails are just starting to strengthen up and I always keep them polished. My favorite are the pink zebra and the teal zebra with white leopard!

    1. They ruined my mums nails in the 80's but I think the glue was wayyy worse back then :) I loved the teal zebra ones too Amanda!
