Nails ahoy!

So, my last mani lasted so long that I actually had to remove it. It just wouldn't chip or peel or anything along those lines. I'm kind of amazed. I think that Seche Vite top coat might be my new favorite thing for my nails.

I soaked some cotton balls in pure acetone, pressed them lightly to my nails and wrapped my nails in foil to keep it from evaporating. Fifteen minutes later I had completely clean nails... no scrubbing needed. Awesome.

That brings me to the current nails: It's 1 coat of Gelous, 1 thin coat of Easy Going, 1 coat of Seche Vite, 2 coats of This Is It, 1 coat of Seche Vite, 2 coats of China Glaze Fairy Dust, and finally two coats of Seche Vite.

My husband-equivalent thinks that there needs to be some sort of contrast, but I haven't been able to decide what to do. I lack plates, so no stamping, but I don't know if I just want simple tips. Anyone have any ideas?

This whole painting extravaganza took about an hour and a half, mainly because I get super-cautious in between coats. I was also getting caught up on this season's Doctor Who episodes because for some reason I wasn't jumping to watch them when they were airing. I'd look down at my nails around the time an episode would end so I'd start the new one and do a coat or two, not think about it for about 15 minutes, do another coat or two. You get the idea.

About Doctor Who, I'm not really sure how I feel about the big reveal in regards to River Song's true identity. Maybe I'll be able to fully process the new information before the second half of the season airs.

I know I promised some reviews of two of the new series on ABC Family. I'll try to get them up soon, especially since there have been more than one episode of each show aired already. I need to get better about this.
