Weekly? Bi-weekly? Umm…daily?
Big surprise! — I go through phases. Sometimes more often, sometimes less. Generally, though, I’ll change my fingers once a week, occasionally upping that to every other day, or daily, depending on flights of fancy and/or seasonal release schedules.
As for my toes, once a week. Sometimes two.
So many nail polishes, so little time! 😀
How about you? How often do you change your nail polish?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Before I was introduced to gel nail polish, EVERY DAY! And, that is because I despise wearing chipped polish. Now, I am using Mally Beauty Gel Nail Polish System once a forte night. Can you beat that?
That’s really cool. I want to try that someday, maybe when I go on vacation and don’t need to swatch so much! How long have you been using it?
I have been using it about five months. It has changed my feelings toward nail polish. It really dragged me down when I had to remove and re-polish my nails so often. There are so many color choices with gel polish that I don’t feel that I am missing out.
I change my nail polish ususally once a week! I’m pretty lazy with my toenails, I only do those maybe every two weeks? If I get a new polish I love I may do them more often though.
I’m the same way! At the moment I’m all about Chanel’s summer shades. Have you seen them?
WOW–once a day?? That’s a LOT! 😛 haha! I could never do that. It’s also the reason I don’t like to do many nail polish reviews–because it takes me SO long to paint my nails! I am not naturally a neat nail-painter so I like to really take my time. Granted, most of the 2 1/2 hours or so that it takes me is me spent trimming the nails, cleaning, filing, shaping, etc. but still. I limit myself to one mani a week 🙂
Yeah! I go through phases. It’s fun to see different colors typing at the keyboard.
Once a week, unless something comes up sooner that I need to look presentable for and the current color is obviously chipped.
I liked your last texture mani! 😀
I’m the only beauty junkie who likes having bare nails! I feel really weird having my fingernails painted.
Toes are done once every other week or so, polish seems to last well. I almost always pick the same color though!
I remember you mentioning that once! What’s the color you usually wear on your toes? I’ve had a coral Chanel shade on for the last few days (Lilis from the summer collection…did you end up getting anything?) and now I’m ready to change it, LOL!
It’s a LE Revlon color from 2011 called “Watermelon Fizz” – it’s kind of a watermelony/candy apple red with microglitter, kind of a jelly finish. I have a backup bottle because it’s limited edition!
OH YEAH. It sounds almost like a Lippmann color! And almost good enough to eat.
I thought of you today because I was at DSW looking at flats…I’m determined to find a pair that I like.
I’ve been trying to wear practical shoes because I walk to a lot of places now that it’s warm. Also, I’ve seen the feet of my two professors who wore heels all their lives. It ain’t pretty.
I change my polish every two days. I’m a polish fiend!
You’re so cute, Jasmine! Do you do base and top coat, too?
Every 5-7 days or as soon as I get bored with the color. 🙂 For toes up to 2 weeks so I usually pick neutral colors for pedicures.
I change my nail polish once a week. But considering how many bottles of nail polish I have, I should change it more often. I just don’t have time for that.
How was Sephora browsing?
Hi Agata,
I wish I had more time…popped in, popped out. I did make time to swatch a new palette from Too Faced! I’ll have the pics up in a few.
How was shopping? 🙂
I saw that palette on the website. It looks great. You didn’t buy anything?
Shopping was good. Got some Redken stuff and Moroccan Oil products, I have never tried them before. I got 2 new nail polishes from the neon Essie collection.
I was supposed to go in and stock up on a few things (moisturizer, concealer), but I spent too much time at DSW and only had a few minutes, plus I didn’t want to wait in line. I guess I just have to go back. 😀
A stylist used Moroccan Oil on me once and I remember liking the scent. Which Redken line did you get? I used All Soft years ago…it rescued my hair when it was a fried mess!
I Got a Redken Color Extend shampoo that is a repurchase actually and a new Diamond Oil conditioner. And from Moroccan Oil I got a heat protective spray and a volumizing mousse.
Any excuse to go back to Sephora is good 🙂
I shoot for weekly but laziness/business rounds it out to 1-2x a month. I usually try to do it right before I have a big-wig meeting with the higher ups or an event. I also have collected quite a bit of nail polish and try to give them fair usage.
Hi Ru,
How do you get it to last so long? Is there a base/top coat that you like?
Hey Karen! They def don’t last 2 weeks lol. A week max. I use OPI top coat, no basecoat (too lazy), and sealing the tips with color is a must!
I’d say I’m pretty the same as you, going through phases 🙂 Sometimes I feel like I want to change color every day (and I do), sometimes I really like having my fingernails bare, that makes the hands look childlike 😀
Cheers,
Alex
Usually every day, but If i have on a neutral color, every other day. I can’t stand when my nail polish clashes with my outfit so I must paint them often, but I love doing it and seeing my polished being put to work! 🙂
Oh I’m such a polish junkie! I try to keep it on for at least 4-5 days, but if it starts chipping I change it up. I hate chipping!
Once a week. I can’t wear nail polishes on fingernails because I work as a doctor. I usually give my toenails a break for two or three days before applying new color.
I went through a phase where I painted my nails multiple times a day… I had a lot of time on my hands!
Lately it’s been every couple days, depending on whether or not I get bored with the color. And I always change my color the MINUTE it chips… chipped nails drive me crazy!
I get pedicures every two weeks like clockwork. I can’t handle any more time between pedis.
I have a HUGE weakness for nail polish and lip gloss… Have to go get the new Chanel and Dior colors for the Summer. The new YSL colors also look lovely. Usually I change my nail polish twice a week. Unless I am on a lazy day or days and just use my Dior Nail glow as raspberry transparent base. It reacts with my skin and creates its own color. I really enjoy it and is very low maintenance and dries fast and makes nais look really pretty.
I’d like to change it twice a week but there’s just no time!!
For now, I change it on weekends.
i change every week end… if not possible i do once in 2 weeks 😛
I use to change my nail polish twice a week : a nude nail polish for work and a bright one for the week end, but during holidays I change my polish more frequently !!!
I change my nail varnish whenever I get bored of the colour that I have on which usually ends up being every two days 🙂 With so little time between changing my nail varnish, I never have to worry about it chipping while I’m out & about!
I paint my fingernails every 2 or 3 days. I do my toenails about every 2 weeks, mainly because I hate taking off toenail polish lol. Otherwise I would do it every week.
I hardly ever wear polish on my nails…within a day they are chipped uugh! But on my toes I change every two weeks 🙂
It used to be everyday for a year or two, but I’ve gotten better over the years. I paint my nails two to three times a week.
I generally change my polish twice a week…could be more if I end up buying something new! LOL Currently I’m wearing BB Pink Pearl and before that it was L’Oreal’s “Lilac Coolers” (jelly). I may do a 3rd change as I am itching to pick up the new Essie “Bottle Service” from the Summer collection.
Best, Lisa
On my toes : once a week
On my hands : I only wear nail polish during spring/summer but my manis last only 1 day, actually I don’t wear nail polish very often and when I do I always remove it before taking my evening shower
My fingernails, I give myself a manicure every three days, but I’m taking a little break from polish right now. My toes, I don’t normally paint because I wear sneakers most of the time, but it’s going to be Summer, so I’ll probably start painting them once a week or so.
hmmm…. love this Tom Ford shade. Looking forward to seeing swatches.
Nails get changed often, because I get bored with color or because I use nail painting to chill-ax when stressed out. Or sometimes because I found a new color(just got some LE Designer Sally Hansen Complete colors at my Walgreens- on the hunt for more!) And now that I have discovered the my HG nail color remover, Zoya remove+, I can swatch and remove to my heart’s content without drying out my cuticles. This stuff is miraculous- I just bought a gigantic bottle of it, and a little goes a long way. Never want to be without it.
Toes don’t get redone often maybe every 2-3 weeks. too labor intensive, and I despise getting my toe polish messed up when I put on shoes. If I lived in flip-flop weather, it might be more often.
I’m with you – it changes! Sometimes I can wear the same color for a week, and other times I crave a new color after a day! I’ve really been loving Essie In the Cab-Ana lately 😉
Wow that D&G looks amazing on you! Hands 2/week, toes 1/week 🙂
I change my fingers about once/twice a week depending on how fast my polish chips.
Confession: I’m a slob who hasn’t done my toes since like last fall lol
Not often enough! I’m unmotivated, resulting in bare, boring nails most of the time.
I’m curious—how do you get your recent blog post to attach itself to your comment? That’s cool!
