ADMIRE this!

My manicure last week was this lovely shimmer by China Glaze.  It is the most gorgeous pink shimmer, not a colour I wear often, but since I had it, it had to be worn.  This is two coats over my OPI Nail Envy and top coated with OPI top coat this time.  But as mentioned in my last post my nails are awful at the moment, peeling and splitting.  I have put some patches on the ends to try and hold out the moisture.  You can see them on most nails!!  Just going to wait for them to grow out a little bit more and then I think I will have to cut them back.

If anyone has any tips as to how to stop this happening please comment.
