Just before my mom passed away, my sisters and I offered to paint her nails. Mom was already non verbal and very near the end of her days on earth. One sister suggested hot pink, my other sister suggested Essie Ballet Slippers. The last word my mom ever spoke was "Ballet Slipper". Unfortunately, my Mother went to be with God a few hours later and we didn't have an opportunity to paint them. We brought the paint to the funeral home a few days later, determined to fufill her last request. When we went to the casket intending to paint them, nail polish bottle in hand, the funeral home had already painted them; in Ballet Slipper!!! We even had to ask to confirm and it was the exact same brand and the exact same color. Thank you Suzie for bringing me this surprise reminder of my mom. God works in mysterious ways.

[@violetsavage193]

That's a beautiful story, my condolences to your family.

[@AnyaMRocha]

Awe, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad she got her wish, even though it wasn't you who painted them. I've never tried this colour but I'll have to now. God bless as you move forward in life without your mom present. Just know she watches over you. 💔

[@alb91878]

I'm so sorry for you and your family! I'm really happy that all of you had this beautiful reminder to go with such a beautiful/ heartbreaking story!

That's beautiful❤ Thank you for sharing

[@femketjeNL]

I love that you used regular nailpolish for today's video 😊💕✨

[@dabzprincess92]

That is a professional nail polish she used today in this video. Essie is well-known and wins Awards still to this day from the day they popped onto the market decades ago. It's just now recently in about the last decade it's been available more so to the general public than ever before. It's also a very affordable durable professional nail polish.

I actually gasped when you put the box on the table. But then you threw it behind you, and I was at peace. So love this one. Shows us how to use regular product, found almost anywhere. I can hear Cristine in my head "dab, dab, dab, make your nails look fab" lol. I use the square bottom of the sponge, then I have the whole length of the sponge to hold onto, because I have big fat fingers 😂.

[@crypt0w1tch]

I have learned so much from you. I can do my nails all at home. I've had professional nail techs check my nails over and be impressed with my techniques. I've even taught a few some of your techniques. It's all because of you. I only learn from you. And I tell everyone who wants to learn nails to check you out. You inspire me to become a professional. Thank you for all of the time you and cameraman dedicate to these tutorials.

Where's Cristine...?

[@bognarevelin7919]

Lol

[@saralexi1420]

Ombrés are one of my favourite things to do! Just a quick tip, if you use the top of the sponge instead of the side, you can cut the part with the polish out, and use the same one again as it will be nice and fresh!

[@hez01]

Agreed! Also more than one layer sponged on makes a smoother looking ombre.

[@joelgutierrez6608]

I also prefer to use denser sponges so the added color(s) don’t look like sort of flecked!

[@saralexi1420]

I totally agree with doing two or three layers and using a denser LATEX FREE sponge for a smoother finish.

[@lisapierce525]

I’m glad I found this video. Of all the people that show how to do ombrés you’re the only one I’ve seen that’s showed a close-up and tips, no pun intended, on specifics. Thank you so much! I love watching your natural nail videos.

[@trickycoolj]

Non-latex makeup sponges have smaller bubbles/holes so they leave less sponge markings in the gradient. Just did a dark purple/magenta gradient and got soooo many compliments in the office! If you have short nails with no tips grab liquid latex for your cuticles way less cleanup.

[@karenlawson4888]

Trickycoolj:What is liquid latex? Do you paint the cuticle first and then remove after the polish is dry? Is this a Canadian product? Please explain

[@trickycoolj]

Karen Lawson just google liquid latex for nails paint on cuticles and peel off just like blue tape for wall painting. There’s tons on Amazon. Simplynailogical uses it a lot she lives in Canada.

FYI Essie Ballet Slippers is what the Queen wears.

Yes 💖

[@rhettarothman8248]

Ballet slippers is the color that Queen Elizabeth II loves

[@schuylerdade]

I came here to say the same thing! She's been wearing it for thirty years now.

[@lilMALICEundead]

That’s so cool!!! I wonder if they just send it to her for free because she’s the queen lol.

[@calichef1962]

I'm sure the Queen is a lovely person, but she's really demanding about what others wear. Did you know that none of the women in the Royal Family are allowed to wear nail art, or polish darker than their skin? Only nude colors, and no nail art of any kind! No stones, no stamping, no hand painted art, nothing! I think they can get away with a French manicure or French fade look if they are willing to stick their necks out a little bit. I'm sure they are risking a dressing down if the Queen notices, however. I would *hate* the nail polish rules if I were a member of the Royal Family.

[@CermousWOO]

@@calichef1962 There are no rules against dark nail polish. It's simply Her Majesty's preference.

[@patd4317]

Rhetta Rothman yes it is. I knew someone on here would know that.

You can get the sponge wet and squeeze it out really well. That helps keep the polish from absorbing too quickly into the sponge.

[@AprilVera28]

Have you tried the brand american classic Gelous as a topper? I find nothing last more than couple hours on my nails. This has helped a lot with my manicures & pedicures I do on myself. If you have a Sally's or something similar around they should carry it.

I do ombre on my own nails using gel polish in similar colors to what you've used in this video but I find it very difficult to get a smooth color transition, without the sponge marks/dots. Is there a solution for that? Should I spend more time spent blending? Should I use a brush? Please help! Thanks!
