While your hands look perfectly fine as they are, I'll add to the recommendation for Espionage Cosmetics nail wraps - not only are they fun and geeky, I'll put a set of those puppies on my nails (once you know what you're doing it shouldn't take more than 15 minutes or so), cover with a clear top coat, and my nails are set for 2-3 weeks. Plus, when I have something on my nails I'm less inclined to pick at them, so bonus for this picker/biter of hangnails (I also love bliss kiss nail oil to soften the cuticles)!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09864562804760683616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-81456783814737575872018-02-07T23:55:42.967-05:002018-02-07T23:55:42.967-05:00Wear opera gloves?

If yo...LOVE the video and you guys are TOO cute! <br /><br />If you want to skip the manicure, moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. You'll notice the hangnails start to ease up (at least I notice fewer when the cold weather hits up here in New England if I'm putting good lotion on regularly - yay for 28 degrees today!)<br /><br />Also - some stores sell these nifty square block style nail files with different sides for different purposes... One will shape your nail, then 3 are used in a specific order to sort of "polish" the surface of the nail. The first helps soften any ridges, then the next smooths, then the last is like a buffer. They're only a couple bucks and it's almost like clear polish without the fuss. (Maybe a good, fast option for a "mom-icure" now that I've got a little one who likes mama snuggles ALL THE TIME <3... see you guys spark all kinds of ideas)Ally Wajdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11689268997969819278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-78985623765678173772018-02-06T09:34:12.357-05:002018-02-06T09:34:12.357-05:00I love the simple look and feel to the video - wel...I love the simple look and feel to the video - well planned out and executed :) As for the manicure - I think your hands and fingernails look just fine! No manicure needed unless you really feel like some pampering ;) I find crafting videos featuring freshly manicured hands and nails ( especially super long fingernails ) to be oddly irritating... those are NOT the hands of a crafter... where are their paper cuts, hot glue burns, ink and paint stains...? lol That said, if you do feel the need for a bit of pampering and find someone who can do some nice nailart... go for it at least once - just keep your nails the length they are ;) Skyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07917098081928141466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-28050837426874624602018-02-06T04:21:11.083-05:002018-02-06T04:21:11.083-05:00Great video, stoked you guys are branching out int...Great video, stoked you guys are branching out into new things :) <br /><br />Just thought you might find this video I watched recently by a crafting YouTuber I follow interesting - food for thought.<br />She talks about how her videos get way more traction on Facebook than they do on YouTube- again just thought you might find it interesting.

I found that distracting; made it hard to focus on what the new item was because I’d start reading the whole list from the top again when it reappeared. Just my two cents.<br /><br />And yes, please show the craft paint wiping that you use to age toys!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-14818670212233565562018-02-05T20:24:30.965-05:002018-02-05T20:24:30.965-05:00I love it!

Seriously, I'd do a variety out of the gate - let people know you're not just a one trick pony.

Great to rub into your fingers while binging shows. The Badger is more oily and requires more work to soak in to your fingers. Burt's Bees rubs in pretty quick.

A little moisturising hand cream a while before crafting can help prevent dry fingers and cracking skin, and I know you don't need telling that certain crafts are tough on your fingertips!<br />If you want to, it can be fun to play around with funky nail polish - crafting is great when you can't help but grin every time you see a flash of day-glo orange/glittery purple/anything else your heart desires!Kezmoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12195873910401895061noreply@blogger.com
