I'm 70. You never mentioned Life Over Sixty With Sandra. She has impeccable style, gorgeous skin. Her channel is one of my long time favorites. Shame on you for omitting Sandra but your list of your favorites is your list. I don't think she grifts for sponsors and doesn't promote anything.
I’m soon to be 71 in December and my girlfriend is 70. We met at our neighborhood bus stop waiting to go to kindergarten. We went through baby dolls, Barbie Dolls, the Beatles and so much more. We have shared tragedies, losing parents, siblings, divorces, raising children issues to mention a few. I’m staying with her right now since September but have to leave November 4th. It has been a joy to laugh and love so much. Neither one of has many family left and just a few friends but she is the constant in my life. She is a true treasure. I’m so sorry your friend suffered such a loss. Losing a loved one so unexpectedly is so very difficult. I wish her strength and happiness in the near future.♥️👼🏻Love to you too Patti♥️👼🏻
Patty, I enjoyed your chat. I'm 75 and I love the way you put yourself out there. You are a beautiful woman. I'm sorry for all that you've been through this year., but you have not let it get you down. Have a great week.
I was at The Nail Salon every 2 weeks without fail until I suffered a stroke ☹️ now my left hand is in a fist 🤜 I’m in recovery & looking forward to getting my nails done again 💅💕
You've got this Girliegrandm. I can understand how you're looking forward to getting your pretty nails back again. And you will. Just said a little prayer for you Hun. X
Isn't it wonderful to have such true friends. I'm sure your friend treasures you. I'm 74 and have been shopping Chico's for years. Always a great fit. I shop them mostly on line since the nearest store is two hours away. Go there when I can. I also have my nails and a pedicure done regularly. We are never too old to look our best.
Patti, you are such a kind lady. ❤️ I really enjoy your videos. I have been getting the dipping powder for many years. I started doing the gel nails before that, but my nails got extremely thin and damaged using the gel. My nail technician at the time suggested the dipping powder. I get the powder only on my nails (not in the acrylic extensions) and love it. I had acrylics put on once and they looked good for awhile until you had to have a fill done. Your complaint reminded me of how I hated the growth you could see under the nail tip. I couldn’t stand the way it looked. If you put the powder directly on your nail you don’t have that ugliness under the tips. Of course you will see the growth at your cuticle in about 3 weeks, but then they just take the old powder off and start all over.
I'm sooo sorry for your friend. My husband and I were married for 50 years and 3 days when he was in a pickup accident and was life flighted to hospital. I saw him 1 hr at home when the hospital called me. He was in a neurotrama unit, in a coma, and never recovered. Was sent to hospice 10 days later, died the next day. Needless to say, I was devastated, had panic attacks, etc. It's been 12 years and I still miss him. I will pray for your friend, God will comfort.
One of my very best friends in the entire world lost her son and husband unexpectedly in a plane crash off the coast of NC almost 2 years ago. The loss was almost unbearable. It really is hard when someone you love leaves us and leaves behind another. You grieve for the loss and you hurt for the those let behind. It has been one of the hardest things I’ve experienced in my life. She is such a class act and is doing well. Still has hard moments but such an inspiration to so many. I’m so sorry for your friend and for your loss. Praying that you both will heal and find a new normal. ❤️
Adding to my comment above. I’m right there with you regarding dirt under the nails. When I was in kindergarten (forever ago) I resisted finger painting because the paint got under my nails!! It is something I cannot help. I’ve been like this my entire life (I’m 60). I do love having my nails done - I get gel. I didn’t like the foundation either. I didn’t like the consistency nor the color. I returned my mine as well. Very interesting about being a customer store model. I bet you were fabulous!
~Patty I buy the Kiss press on nails.....that you buy unpolished. I then create my own designs and colours with Gel polish. I have 3 try’s of 24 sets in each try. They are reusable many many times because I don’t glue them on, I use sticky tabs bought through amazon. They stay on well and I’ll never go back to acrylics or gels. I can give my nail Beds a rest or not depending on how I feel. Healthier for your nail beds and way cheaper.~ Oh and I’m 72.
Sounds like the modeling was so much fun. So glad you had that experience Patty. I think I told you last week that I was sending prayers for your friend. I lost my sweet husband seven years ago after fifty years of marriage. He was also my very best friend. Your friendship will help her through as well as her memories of good times. Just be there when she needs you. Love your chat with us. Thank you. 🙏💕💜❤️
I'm 67 and started getting dipped manicures over a year ago as a treat for myself. I work in healthcare administration, so I keep my nails very short (to the top of my fingers only) and in very light colors like soft white, soft pink, etc. I love them! I would never get long nails because of my work, my crafting, and some peripheral nerve damage that alters my feeling. If you like the powder dip, just insist on keeping your nails short with no acrylic extensions. Have your natural nails only.
Patty I just love you. Your eyes just light up and are so pretty. Loved your stories today and you would make the perfect store model. What fun! Keep twinkling!
I just clipped off all my nails yesterday because I was getting those annoying horizontal splits/cracks that catch and yank out my baby fine (and thinning) hair. Today is my 75th birthday and I'm thinking I might just treat myself to a visit to the nail salon! That would be so fun, at least thru the holidays! Thanks, girlfriend, and keep styling!! ❤
I watch Middleagedminx. She is 68, a former actress and a radio personality currently. She lives in Marlybone, England and does a vlog on Sunday morning.
Hello Patty, once again I am so sorry for the loss of your long time friend. I know it’s so upsetting especially that it was sudden. But it sure is good to see you. I noticed your nails before you even mentioned it. I’ve been going through the same thing debating whether to return to the nail salon, almost caved in the other day. In my case there is nothing that I really enjoy about the process, I like the outcome and the shoulder massage, it’s just me lol. I have to tell you I finally took your advice and slightly bent my mascara and primer wand, what a game changer, works like a charm. Take care Patty, you look beautiful as always.❤️
Patty we all love you and respect the time involved in filming your videos. As I would say, a spoon full of Patty is all you need to turn a frown into a smile, from your heart to ours and back at you. Enjoy life!!!
It’s six months later, and you’re making my heart tear up! Thanks for sharing your story. I’m sorry for your friend and sorry for your pain as well. Kindly, Alma
Patty, I was so happy to see your new video. You are such a beautiful and kind woman. Sorry for the sad news about your friend’s husband . I’m sure you’re a great comfort to her. Thanks for the update. ❤
Patti, don’t worry if your video are not regular. That is the life! We are here with you. Thank you, do you know I watch you from France, I am 62 and when I watch you it ‘s like being in the US, I travel… I love that. Take care. 🙂
Greetings Patti! I thoroughly enjoyed your chat today. I love it when you speak from deep in your heart with us. I'm so sorry for your loss and grief. You are in my heart. Oh wow, the Chico's gig sounds like fun! I can so imagine you doing that, it's right up your alley! Love and blessings ♥️🙏
Patti, you’re beautiful! And such a great example of aging beautifully. I’m 52 and love your videos, and other content creators in their 60s, 70s and 80s. Did you add a beautiful diamond pendant to your heart necklace? I love it!!
I have acrylic nails. I get a "fill" every 3 weeks. I love my nails. It makes me feel better about myself My hands look so bad without them. I think of it as my "treat" I give myself. I'm 75 ...I deserve it. ☺
I'm 72 & I do my own dip powder nails. I was doing shellac, going to a salon...then Covid hit. There were a few months of 'naked nails' then my younger sister told me about dip powders, and I tried it. Then...I perfected it during lockdown...when we all thought we were going to die! I've kept if up and love them!!
Been watching you from the beginning and love all that you do and say. Inspiration always. My sympathy to you and your friend. Have fun at Chico’s. It’s a yes yes for both. You make such wise choices. Sending Love and Gods blessing.
Hi Patti! I am 69 (70 in March). I just have to recommend the Sistaco nail system to you. Probably costs about the same as 2 salon visits for artificial nails to get started with the system. I was very skeptical but in a couple months have the longest nails I have ever had. A manicure lasts me easily 3 weeks! I developed severe asthma a couple years ago, so nail polish is out as is artificial nails at the salon due to the strong odors. Regular nail polish won't stay on for more than a couple days for me either. Please look up Sistaco & see what you think. Xoxo Love you Patti!! ❤
Chemicals on nails I do not like. I quit. They are pretty though. I love Chico's but a little pricey for me. I love thrifting for that brand though! I can't wait to see your haul. I'm 71 and just finished my 6th round chemo & fixing to start Rutuxin for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. So I stay away from any chemicals I can avoid. It has been a tough several months. I am not out of the woods yet but I am still trying to do as much on my own that I can. I so enjoy your videos. Thank you , Patti.
I remember those ponchos! I actually bought one too. I’m still on the fence about the haus. I am so excited that you got to do the Chicos modeling. I know you were fantastic and . I bet you had a blast. Sending you lots of love.
Hay Patti. I’m 73 and I have used the gel nails for 20+ years. I try to go without them but my nails are so thin and I go right back and have them put on again. They make my hands look so much better. I’m so sorry about your friend’s husband. I will be praying for you and her family. I enjoy your talks! And I love your makeup. I can’t get mine to look as smooth as yours. I’m a makeup junkie and buy makeup all the time. It’s so much fun. I’m embarrassed about all the eye shadow pallets I have. I need to get rid of some but it’s hard to do that. Thanks for the chats! Look forward to the next one. God bless you Patti.
I'm almost 50. I have learned how to do my own nails. I started with regular polish and then switched to gel polish with a rubber base overlay. Learning to use gel safely is a process, I'm a retired RN so learning to avoid sensitization/allergy is very important. Its also important to learn to remove it safely, I've learned to use the electric file, definitely a slow process, but Ive gotten so much better (and quicker) with it. The rubber base does not create hard structure, so you cannot extend the length with it, but what it does do is protect your own nails so they can be protected as they grow out. It is still possible to break them, but it's rare. I broke one in the last 6 months, it got slammed in a drawer 🙁 and the rubber base is more forgiving of things like that, hard gel and acrylic can tear the actual nail plate from the bed. So if the interest is there, it's possible for many folks to learn on their own. It allows you to try your own nail art, fix anything you don't like, time things just how you want it, so no grow out lines.
Today’s Lesson : “Never Say Never”’ 😁 Pattie, enjoy your new nails & whatever else brings you pleasure. I’m 77 & we deserve to change our minds, make mistakes & then start anew each morning to do it all over again! At this stage of the game, every second is precious so live, love, laugh & be kind. Adele San Antonio, TX
I stopped doing my nails at the salon, and I keep them looking clean, nicely shaped, and polished, but who knows when I might weaken and go back, especially for the holidays. I modeled clothes in a store, and it was great fun. Good to see you, so keep on keeping on. BTW I think your skin looks awesome today❤
Oh Patti I just threw out my bottle of Haus Labs. It looked very light but when I put in on it was so dark and looked caked. I threw it out. Whatever is on your face know looks beautiful. Congrats Miss Model and a beautiful one at that. See at our age we can do anything. HooRay for Seniors. 🥰
The only time in 45 years I've gone without the acrylic nails, was during COVID. I wanted to learn to live without them, but frankly, my nails just look bad and require too much effort without them. I go every two weeks. It's worth it. My nails always look great and that's important to me. We're (obviously) never too old to stop doing all we can to look our best. I'll be 70 next year.
After 35 years of having nails applied I decided to go cold turkey and stop. I started with acrylic and solar, then to Shellac/gel and then the last few years, dip powder. Dip being the favorite. I loved that my nails always looked great and I could forget about them (accept for cleaning) for three weeks. The process has been difficult, sensitive nail beds and of course the paper thin tips. After 10 weeks the nail bed sensitivity is gone and the tips slightly less thin, but it does require time and attention to softening the cuticles and smoothing the tips as they easily get rough. So far committed to doing my own but I could wake up and make the call!
I admire Patti’s nails and others who get the manicures. I do my nails at home and keep them short as I do not like long or even medium length for me. I stopped getting manicures years ago to save money but I always admire pretty nails.
@@christinefisher5425 Same here, I do my own. I tried fake nails years ago and personally I didn't like the way they looked or felt. And I don't like long nails at all, I keep them short and am much more comfortable with them short. If I get lazy and don't file them down and they get a little long, I can't STAND how they feel. LOL! So I get to work and file them down.
Patti, I am sorry to hear about your friend's husband. In the past I had acrylic & gel nails. I stopped both because of the damage they did to my nails. Now I have my natural nails no polish. They look so healthy! ❤
I have always just had my natural nails. I am 75. Three years ago I stopped nail polish as the staining bothered me. My derm suggested I stop. It was tough but my toe nails and fingernails are healthy. I am also prone to fungus. Love your channel.
Patti, it's good to see you. You are truly a good friend to support a friend in this her time of need...and I know the loneliness comes later,after everyone else has left and gone home. I needed a friend like you but never had one. You were both blessed. Congrats on your adventure with Chicos...enjoy the holidays coming up. I'm having surgery in another week. Say a little prayer for me will you? It's scary. Lots of love.👍💕💕
I have watched you now for quite some time...I think 2-3 years. I just wanted to tell you how classy I think you are. You are a great influencer, and I feel so fortunate to be able to view your videos. Thank you, Kindly, Cheryl Pinger Amery, WI
Well patti those nails are stunning they've obviously made you very happy so you keep them filled and pretty. We'll always stand by you and wait patiently for your videos to pop up. Have a good week beautiful lady xxxx
Maybe we don't have as many videos from you as we'd like to but we know when we get that notification that you're on we know it's going to be wonderful, thank you for all you do
I'm sorry Patty, but I just stopped (finally) laughing as I watched you try and pull that Lady Gaga concealer wand out, and put back in, the tube. I also bought and tried the Haus labs foundation, AND RETURNED IT IMMEDIATELY! It probably works for some, but it was totally horrible on me. I was glad Sephora did not have any problem with the return. Btw, I have never had anything done on my nails, and I am getting to where I want to get them done for the first time, just to try (I'm 67). OMG Patty! You getting to be their clothes model, changing into lovely items, YOU ARE INCREDIBLE! I love this SO MUCH! This was a job from GOD for you!!! I hope you get to do this on a regular basis! I do so hope you get a discount on purchases at least! How much fun is this, so cool! At last, I want to say I am so sorry your friend lost her long time dear husband. My dh and I have been together over 47yrs, he's 73, I'm just 67. If I lost him, I don't know how I could survive. We aren't the kind of people to have lots of nearby friends. It was lovely to hear you chat with us, and as always, your "be kind and pray for peace" is always a soothing reminder that there is lots of goodness and light in this world...
Patti you are such a lovely lady with the sweetest spirit. I’m sure we all understand you have a life aside from your UA-cam channel and we do thank you for the time you devote to it. But there is another life out there and if there’s a lull in the time between videos then that’s ok as long as you are well. Thank you for all you do and all you share. Love you videos. 😊💕
Patti, so sorry about your friend’s husband. Love, love your nails. Love your videos, I look forward each week for new videos. I know you are the perfect model for Chico’s, you look beautiful and know how to puts clothes and accessories together. Can’t wait to see your purchases. Have a wonderful week.
Oh, Patty I am so sorry that your friend lost her husband. You are such a good friend to her. I totally enjoyed your video...your makeup fail, your nails! I laughed when you said you caved. I've had dip nails and loved it but now I'm back to glue on again only because it's so convenient. My nails completely stopped growing! I have a channel and I am 71 and will have my channel forever. I understand what you say about the work. With all the interruptions I get, it's a bit challenging!! I need to learn from you how to better myself on YT. Thank you so much for your videos. They are absolutely so inspiring!! Love and hugs, Jeanie
Patti, you always bring encouragement when you share and I love your ideas on makeup, etc. I’m so sorry for the loss of your dear friend’s husband. I’m so glad you will go and spend time with her when she is finally alone. My friend did this for me, and it was a huge gift! I am a widow of 4 years and my daughter is a widow of 8 years. We have written a devotional of short thoughts of hope for widows. It’s called “Surviving Widowhood…..40 Devotions of Hope”. Sharon
Thank you for doing this. You have inspired me to take better care of myself. I had not wore makeup in years. But seeing you made me want to do this. Again thank you.
So very sorry for the loss of your friend. Sending hugs. I stopped with the gel nails. The growth/dirty looking underneath grossed me out too! The cost of upkeep, etc. was bad enough but they kept hurting my fingers with their tools or their pointy nails & when I questioned how far under the "dirt" looked I asked if it was fungus & they said no. After the last time I was dissatisfied with the look of the under growth, I was told I needed a new set anyway. The last time they did not soak them off, they used another tip & peeled them off. I thought I was going to throw up or faint. I spent 5 hours soaking them off & lo & behold I had a serious fungus infection under one & spots on several. Long story short, I am sporting short nails & after months they are almost done with the damage from the gel nails. Yes, they looked pretty on top but that was it. I wore acrylic for 20 plus years without any of that! I left mine natural for 10 years & missed pretty long nails now I kind of like the short look. I have long nail beds & they grow unnaturally fast. I'm saving over $100 a month not driving there & getting them done, & the unearned tips I gave them. Rant over. lol I enjoy all your vids regardless of the subject matter or if you don't get one up for a bit, that's OK too! Pretty sure all of us are fine with waiting!
Hello Patty, thank you. You are looking absolutely fabulous. Your skin is glowing. Sorry to your friend who lost her husband. Blessing to you and Jim 🎉❤
Patty, your nails are so lovely and as soon as the bruise(that almost covers the back of my hand)heals, I'm going to have my nails done like yours,. Isn't it something the way just having your nails done gives you such a new outlook and makes you feel so feminine? Lol. Patty I know you were such a joy modeling at Chico's as you are just precious and so approachable. I'm sorry for your friend who lost her husband. I too lost mine (no children)after 49 yrs., 5 yrs ago. She has a long way to go and for that I'm sorry. She is lucky to have a wonderful friend like you who just needs to let her talk.(and cry). God bless you and looking forward to your next video.
I am sorry to hear about your friend’s husband. We experience so much loss as we get older. On a lighter sides…..it would be so exciting to walk into Chicos and see you modeling their clothes. I am glad you had a good time.
I am happy you had a great time at Chico’s. Love Chicos myself. I am so sorry for the loss of your friend’s husband. Prayers for her and her family and you. So happy to see you today and love your nails. I found someone who does hard gel nails and they are wonderful. Have a great week💕
Hi Patti, You look beautiful as always. I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I will always watch your videos, you are just so real. Hi Jim Love from Michigan ❤️
Patti, you should know your fan base is living in the same lane as you. So we understand life happens. Please know from the bottom of my heart, your videos give us a lift, and it's a secret friend group.❤
Hi Patti, I loved the shawl changeover, I laughed alot, how could you come up with so many changes? Good to see you looking so good , like visiting with a close friend, must have been a blast at Chicos. They should hire you full time, with your personality and fashion expertise. Have a super good fall and harvest season. Sally
Hi, I've been doing the "dipping powder" nails for years, since they first came out, maybe 6-7 years ago, here in Florida. I love them because my manicure lasts longer, sometimes 6 weeks. If they are applied well and you're wearing that light color you are wearing in your video, the gradual growth shouldn't bother you too much. They don't do a "fill" as they grow out. You have to have them removed and reapplied. They wrap them in cotton drenched in acetone to remove so they sorta "dissolve" off my fingers while I'm having my pedicure (I don't do dipping powder on my toes). Sometimes if I'm traveling or it's inconvenient to go to the salon to take them off, I will find a bottle of regular nail polish in a matching color or sometimes I get a different color that looks nice with the dipping powder nails, (metallic gold or silver look great) at CVS or Walgreens and apply it where the growth is between my cuticle and the edge of the nail, to extend my manicure for another week or so. A good manicurist will have applied the dipping powder so the edge isn't "raised" and if you're really neat applying the nail polish it's a good "fix" till you're ready to have the dipping powder redone.
Patti, love your eye shadow, you usually share what you have on. And your eyelashes, I don't know what you're doing but they look really good. Great video, as always, and sorry about your friend...
I will be 71 in a few weeks and I have been getting my nails done for 11 years. I started with the gel for several years but then discovered the dip powder holds up much longer for me. Years ago I tried to occasionally polish my nails myself but regular polish never held up for more than a couple of days so I gave up. My daughter treated me to my first nail salon experience when my niece got married. I fell in love! I haven't gone without my nails being done since then except during Covid. It was one of the first things I did when it was safer, I was so excited! I don't smoke and I don't drink so that's my habit😁
Patti your regular viewers love you and will keep watching you...even if we have to wait. Since being housebound...not getting my nails is one of the things I miss the most! You are not the only person that wanted to like that foundation (Haus Labs) and didn't. I've heard it from others. You look great! Stay well!❤❤
Ok, I really liked the brushes and after your presentation, I went right to the "more" in the description to buy the brushes. Then . . . I saw the price! Wow!!!! $130 for 5 brushes? I'm sorry, but $130 is soooooo out- of budget for the average woman for "brushes." I mean, brushes are not obviously the most essential "make-up" item! Maybe . . . an eye- liner brush is important . . . but the rest of the brushes are really just a luxury (IMHO.) "Flashy" needs to adjust her price by at least 50% in my humble opinion.
Awwww Patti! Are we living parrallel lives? My best friend since the late 70's husband died suddenly last month on their 50th anniversary. I will be flying down to be with her in 3 days. I have also been wearing press on nails, but will go get a pedicure and my acrylic nails back on before I leave... so I'm caving too. From another Patty
Me again! I’m noticing you and other content creators look fabulous in your button up shirts. Very polished and elegant in such a simple piece. What fabric is yours made of? I like soft shirts made of cotton but not the wrinkles! Polyester can feel too stiff to me. Ladies, any suggestions on shirt fabrics or brands you like? ❤
Patti, I’ve been hooked on S&S nails, the dip powder for awhile! I try to go 3 weeks between full ins. I’m 62 and they definitely make my aging hands look much better! Enjoy!❤
I remember your video where you calculated the amount of money you spent on getting your nails done over the years, so I am surprised you caved. I haven't had my nails done since March 2020 and after 30 years of getting my nails done, I am happy to be free of the every two week commitment and money on getting my nails done. I got my nails in great shape and maintain them myself now. But, hey, if getting your nails done makes you happy, go for it. Life is too short.
I just turned 80 and I still do my nails with S & S powder. My sentiment is that while I can’t do a thing about turning 80, I can make myself look a good bit better by taking a little time with my makeup, my hair, and my nails. I have short fingers, and having pretty nails does indeed make my hands look better! I like the S & S powder because it doesn’t harm my nails at all. I wore it for the last 10 or more years without stopping but decided about 6 months ago to give my nails a “break”. I was so afraid they would be weak and in need of repair, but to my surprise, they were just fine! I did my own manicures for about 3 months then just got lazy and back to my nail salon I went!
S&S is a special powder the technician dips your nails into after applying a special “polish”. I use OPI brand but there may be others. Nails stay smooth and shiny until you get it removed weeks later. Nails are hard and don’t chip! Google it for a better description of the process! 😄
I'M 80... it's a process! I'm all about sharing the aging process with those of you who are on this journey too. It's a brand new chapter that we can navigate together...welcome! xo patti 🌷

I'm 70. You never mentioned Life Over Sixty With Sandra. She has impeccable style, gorgeous skin. Her channel is one of my long time favorites. Shame on you for omitting Sandra but your list of your favorites is your list. I don't think she grifts for sponsors and doesn't promote anything.
I’ve had French pink and white nails for over 30 years. It feel so professional and polished. Love my nails👍🥰❤️
I’m 73 and love my acrylic nails! It’s a pleasure to look at them, and get favourable comments….
Patty, I’m certain Chico’s is thrilled to have you as a model. You’re perfect for it.
I’m soon to be 71 in December and my girlfriend is 70. We met at our neighborhood bus stop waiting to go to kindergarten. We went through baby dolls, Barbie Dolls, the Beatles and so much more. We have shared tragedies, losing parents, siblings, divorces, raising children issues to mention a few. I’m staying with her right now since September but have to leave November 4th. It has been a joy to laugh and love so much. Neither one of has many family left and just a few friends but she is the constant in my life. She is a true treasure. I’m so sorry your friend suffered such a loss. Losing a loved one so unexpectedly is so very difficult. I wish her strength and happiness in the near future.♥️👼🏻Love to you too Patti♥️👼🏻
Love you
I’m 82 and love the Gel Nails. Never too old if it makes you feel prettier. ❤
-It does yes.
Patty, I enjoyed your chat. I'm 75 and I love the way you put yourself out there. You are a beautiful woman. I'm sorry for all that you've been through this year., but you have not let it get you down. Have a great week.
I was at The Nail Salon every 2 weeks without fail until I suffered a stroke ☹️ now my left hand is in a fist 🤜 I’m in recovery & looking forward to getting my nails done again 💅💕
Keep fighting. You are a warrior.
@@joannefreeman3573 Thanks Joanne 💕
You've got this Girliegrandm. I can understand how you're looking forward to getting your pretty nails back again. And you will. Just said a little prayer for you Hun. X
@@clareashby491 🥹Thank you so much. God Bless you. 🙏
Keep the nails
Isn't it wonderful to have such true friends. I'm sure your friend treasures you. I'm 74 and have been shopping Chico's for years. Always a great fit. I shop them mostly on line since the nearest store is two hours away. Go there when I can. I also have my nails and a pedicure done regularly. We are never too old to look our best.
Patti, you are such a kind lady. ❤️ I really enjoy your videos. I have been getting the dipping powder for many years. I started doing the gel nails before that, but my nails got extremely thin and damaged using the gel. My nail technician at the time suggested the dipping powder. I get the powder only on my nails (not in the acrylic extensions) and love it. I had acrylics put on once and they looked good for awhile until you had to have a fill done. Your complaint reminded me of how I hated the growth you could see under the nail tip. I couldn’t stand the way it looked. If you put the powder directly on your nail you don’t have that ugliness under the tips. Of course you will see the growth at your cuticle in about 3 weeks, but then they just take the old powder off and start all over.
Im so sorry patti, what a rough time for your dear friend 😢 love to you ❤️ 💗 💕 💛 xxxx
Patty, you’re a sweetheart and I’ll never stop watching ♥️♥️♥️
I'm sooo sorry for your friend. My husband and I were married for 50 years and 3 days when he was in a pickup accident and was life flighted to hospital. I saw him 1 hr at home when the hospital called me. He was in a neurotrama unit, in a coma, and never recovered. Was sent to hospice 10 days later, died the next day. Needless to say, I was devastated, had panic attacks, etc. It's been 12 years and I still miss him. I will pray for your friend, God will comfort.
One of my very best friends in the entire world lost her son and husband unexpectedly in a plane crash off the coast of NC almost 2 years ago. The loss was almost unbearable. It really is hard when someone you love leaves us and leaves behind another. You grieve for the loss and you hurt for the those let behind. It has been one of the hardest things I’ve experienced in my life. She is such a class act and is doing well. Still has hard moments but such an inspiration to so many. I’m so sorry for your friend and for your loss. Praying that you both will heal and find a new normal. ❤️
Adding to my comment above. I’m right there with you regarding dirt under the nails. When I was in kindergarten (forever ago) I resisted finger painting because the paint got under my nails!! It is something I cannot help. I’ve been like this my entire life (I’m 60). I do love having my nails done - I get gel. I didn’t like the foundation either. I didn’t like the consistency nor the color. I returned my mine as well. Very interesting about being a customer store model. I bet you were fabulous!
I'm so sorry about your friend's husband and will keep her family in my prayers. 🙏🏻 Love the Chico's story...you really *are* a rock star! 😉
I think that experience in the store has done you a world of good. You are like a new woman.❤
Patti I didn’t know one could return foundation and concealer. This was a wonderful session. 💙🩵
~Patty I buy the Kiss press on nails.....that you buy unpolished. I then create my own designs and colours with Gel polish. I have 3 try’s of 24 sets in each try. They are reusable many many times because I don’t glue them on, I use sticky tabs bought through amazon. They stay on well and I’ll never go back to acrylics or gels. I can give my nail Beds a rest or not depending on how I feel. Healthier for your nail beds and way cheaper.~ Oh and I’m 72.
Sounds like the modeling was so much fun. So glad you had that experience Patty. I think I told you last week that I was sending prayers for your friend. I lost my sweet husband seven years ago after fifty years of marriage. He was also my very best friend. Your friendship will help her through as well as her memories of good times. Just be there when she needs you. Love your chat with us. Thank you. 🙏💕💜❤️
I'm 67 and started getting dipped manicures over a year ago as a treat for myself. I work in healthcare administration, so I keep my nails very short (to the top of my fingers only) and in very light colors like soft white, soft pink, etc. I love them! I would never get long nails because of my work, my crafting, and some peripheral nerve damage that alters my feeling. If you like the powder dip, just insist on keeping your nails short with no acrylic extensions. Have your natural nails only.
I do the same and have the dip. Mostly French tip and short because of crafting and working with my hands.
@@patricekanagy5898 I have to keep mine short due to my work, but also because of my crafting!
I am always soothed by your voice, Patti. 💕
Me too!
Patty I just love you. Your eyes just light up and are so pretty. Loved your stories today and you would make the perfect store model. What fun! Keep twinkling!
I just clipped off all my nails yesterday because I was getting those annoying horizontal splits/cracks that catch and yank out my baby fine (and thinning) hair. Today is my 75th birthday and I'm thinking I might just treat myself to a visit to the nail salon! That would be so fun, at least thru the holidays! Thanks, girlfriend, and keep styling!! ❤
Dear Patti, I really treasure all that you share. You just look like a million today! 💕🌷💕
I watch Middleagedminx. She is 68, a former actress and a radio personality currently. She lives in Marlybone, England and does a vlog on Sunday morning.
Love her energy
Hello Patty, once again I am so sorry for the loss of your long time friend. I know it’s so upsetting especially that it was sudden. But it sure is good to see you. I noticed your nails before you even mentioned it. I’ve been going through the same thing debating whether to return to the nail salon, almost caved in the other day. In my case there is nothing that I really enjoy about the process, I like the outcome and the shoulder massage, it’s just me lol. I have to tell you I finally took your advice and slightly bent my mascara and primer wand, what a game changer, works like a charm. Take care Patty, you look beautiful as always.❤️
Jo models her new dress purchases as well as any professional model!!
Yes, love her! And theres another lady from England, (at least i think thats where shes from) also on a Sunday morning, who is a hoot to follow
Patty we all love you and respect the time involved in filming your videos. As I would say, a spoon full of Patty is all you need to turn a frown into a smile, from your heart to ours and back at you. Enjoy life!!!
It’s six months later, and you’re making my heart tear up! Thanks for sharing your story. I’m sorry for your friend and sorry for your pain as well. Kindly, Alma
Patty, I was so happy to see your new video. You are such a beautiful and kind woman. Sorry for the sad news about your friend’s husband . I’m sure you’re a great comfort to her. Thanks for the update. ❤
Your nails are stunning!! ❤
Patti, don’t worry if your video are not regular. That is the life! We are here with you. Thank you, do you know I watch you from France, I am 62 and when I watch you it ‘s like being in the US, I travel… I love that. Take care. 🙂
Greetings Patti! I thoroughly enjoyed your chat today. I love it when you speak from deep in your heart with us. I'm so sorry for your loss and grief. You are in my heart. Oh wow, the Chico's gig sounds like fun! I can so imagine you doing that, it's right up your alley! Love and blessings ♥️🙏
My heart goes out to you Patti.Always love your blog.You are perfect for Chico’s!
Patti, you’re beautiful! And such a great example of aging beautifully. I’m 52 and love your videos, and other content creators in their 60s, 70s and 80s.
Did you add a beautiful diamond pendant to your heart necklace? I love it!!
I have acrylic nails. I get a "fill" every 3 weeks. I love my nails. It makes me feel better about myself My hands look so bad without them. I think of it as my "treat" I give myself. I'm 75 ...I deserve it. ☺
I'm 72 & I do my own dip powder nails. I was doing shellac, going to a salon...then Covid hit. There were a few months of 'naked nails' then my younger sister told me about dip powders, and I tried it. Then...I perfected it during lockdown...when we all thought we were going to die! I've kept if up and love them!!
Been watching you from the beginning and love all that you do and say. Inspiration always. My sympathy to you and your friend. Have fun at Chico’s. It’s a yes yes for both. You make such wise choices. Sending Love and Gods blessing.
Hi Patti! I am 69 (70 in March). I just have to recommend the Sistaco nail system to you. Probably costs about the same as 2 salon visits for artificial nails to get started with the system. I was very skeptical but in a couple months have the longest nails I have ever had. A manicure lasts me easily 3 weeks! I developed severe asthma a couple years ago, so nail polish is out as is artificial nails at the salon due to the strong odors. Regular nail polish won't stay on for more than a couple days for me either. Please look up Sistaco & see what you think. Xoxo Love you Patti!! ❤
Every video from you is an absolute treasure!! Love you, Patti!
Chemicals on nails I do not like. I quit. They are pretty though. I love Chico's but a little pricey for me. I love thrifting for that brand though! I can't wait to see your haul. I'm 71 and just finished my 6th round chemo & fixing to start Rutuxin for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. So I stay away from any chemicals I can avoid. It has been a tough several months. I am not out of the woods yet but I am still trying to do as much on my own that I can. I so enjoy your videos. Thank you , Patti.
I remember those ponchos! I actually bought one too. I’m still on the fence about the haus. I am so excited that you got to do the Chicos modeling. I know you were fantastic and . I bet you had a blast. Sending you lots of love.
Hay Patti. I’m 73 and I have used the gel nails for 20+ years. I try to go without them but my nails are so thin and I go right back and have them put on again. They make my hands look so much better. I’m so sorry about your friend’s husband. I will be praying for you and her family. I enjoy your talks! And I love your makeup. I can’t get mine to look as smooth as yours. I’m a makeup junkie and buy makeup all the time. It’s so much fun. I’m embarrassed about all the eye shadow pallets I have. I need to get rid of some but it’s hard to do that. Thanks for the chats! Look forward to the next one. God bless you Patti.
I'm almost 50. I have learned how to do my own nails. I started with regular polish and then switched to gel polish with a rubber base overlay. Learning to use gel safely is a process, I'm a retired RN so learning to avoid sensitization/allergy is very important. Its also important to learn to remove it safely, I've learned to use the electric file, definitely a slow process, but Ive gotten so much better (and quicker) with it.
The rubber base does not create hard structure, so you cannot extend the length with it, but what it does do is protect your own nails so they can be protected as they grow out. It is still possible to break them, but it's rare. I broke one in the last 6 months, it got slammed in a drawer 🙁 and the rubber base is more forgiving of things like that, hard gel and acrylic can tear the actual nail plate from the bed.
So if the interest is there, it's possible for many folks to learn on their own. It allows you to try your own nail art, fix anything you don't like, time things just how you want it, so no grow out lines.
Your conversations with us are so warm and natural. Merry Christmas 🎄
Today’s Lesson : “Never Say Never”’ 😁
Pattie, enjoy your new nails & whatever else brings you pleasure. I’m 77 & we deserve to change our minds, make mistakes & then start anew each morning to do it all over again! At this stage of the game, every second is precious so live, love, laugh & be kind.

It's not something you get over, it's just something you get through. You look nice today.
Great attitude! "Yes! I'll do that!". Love it.
I stopped doing my nails at the salon, and I keep them looking clean, nicely shaped, and polished, but who knows when I might weaken and go back, especially for the holidays. I modeled clothes in a store, and it was great fun. Good to see you, so keep on keeping on. BTW I think your skin looks awesome today❤
Oh Patti I just threw out my bottle of Haus Labs. It looked very light but when I put in on it was so dark and looked caked. I threw it out. Whatever is on your face know looks beautiful. Congrats Miss Model and a beautiful one at that. See at our age we can do anything. HooRay for Seniors. 🥰
I love that you are so authentic and honest with us. I use a tinted sunscreen and it is tacky. Foundation is definitely a process!
The only time in 45 years I've gone without the acrylic nails, was during COVID. I wanted to learn to live without them, but frankly, my nails just look bad and require too much effort without them. I go every two weeks. It's worth it. My nails always look great and that's important to me. We're (obviously) never too old to stop doing all we can to look our best. I'll be 70 next year.
I took my acrylics off for surgery. I can't wait to put them on again! My nails have always been as fragile as a baby's and they rip and tear easily.
After 35 years of having nails applied I decided to go cold turkey and stop. I started with acrylic and solar, then to Shellac/gel and then the last few years, dip powder. Dip being the favorite. I loved that my nails always looked great and I could forget about them (accept for cleaning) for three weeks. The process has been difficult, sensitive nail beds and of course the paper thin tips. After 10 weeks the nail bed sensitivity is gone and the tips slightly less thin, but it does require time and attention to softening the cuticles and smoothing the tips as they easily get rough. So far committed to doing my own but I could wake up and make the call!
I admire Patti’s nails and others who get the manicures. I do my nails at home and keep them short as I do not like long or even medium length for me. I stopped getting manicures years ago to save money but I always admire pretty nails.
@@christinefisher5425 Same here, I do my own. I tried fake nails years ago and personally I didn't like the way they looked or felt. And I don't like long nails at all, I keep them short and am much more comfortable with them short. If I get lazy and don't file them down and they get a little long, I can't STAND how they feel. LOL! So I get to work and file them down.
I have the travel brushes set from Angie. I even have her original set & love them.
Hi Patty! Could not do without my acrylic nails… I’m 65 and started with professional “fake nails “ since I was 30. Can’t live without them!!!!!
Patti, I am sorry to hear about your friend's husband.
In the past I had acrylic & gel nails. I stopped both because of the damage they did to my nails. Now I have my natural nails no polish. They look so healthy! ❤
I have always just had my natural nails. I am 75. Three years ago I stopped nail polish as the staining bothered me. My derm suggested I stop. It was tough but my toe nails and fingernails are healthy. I am also prone to fungus. Love your channel.
Conheci o seu canal!! Fiquei radiante pois tenho 78 anos e os conteúdos são ótimos para mim. From Portugal
Yes, I love the powder dip SNS nails for years !!! My luxury!!!
Patti, it's good to see you. You are truly a good friend to support a friend in this her time of need...and I know the loneliness comes later,after everyone else has left and gone home. I needed a friend like you but never had one. You were both blessed. Congrats on your adventure with Chicos...enjoy the holidays coming up. I'm having surgery in another week. Say a little prayer for me will you? It's scary. Lots of love.👍💕💕
Patti, your nails are beautiful, enjoyed your video so much. I love you too!
You looking amazing! Hope to see you soon again in Marshall's shopping.
I have watched you now for quite some time...I think 2-3 years. I just wanted to tell you how classy I think you are. You are a great influencer, and I feel so fortunate to be able to view your videos.
Thank you,
Kindly,
Cheryl Pinger Amery, WI
Well patti those nails are stunning they've obviously made you very happy so you keep them filled and pretty. We'll always stand by you and wait patiently for your videos to pop up. Have a good week beautiful lady xxxx
You have a beautiful tender heart Patty. So genuine! ❤
Patti, you are lovely and your nails look lovely. At almost 68 I wear acrylics.
I love your videos.
I’ve put on your Kiss nails and I like them. It does take a learning curve.
Maybe we don't have as many videos from you as we'd like to but we know when we get that notification that you're on we know it's going to be wonderful, thank you for all you do
Wow, thank you..i apprecīate you! P
I'm sorry Patty, but I just stopped (finally) laughing as I watched you try and pull that Lady Gaga concealer wand out, and put back in, the tube. I also bought and tried the Haus labs foundation, AND RETURNED IT IMMEDIATELY! It probably works for some, but it was totally horrible on me. I was glad Sephora did not have any problem with the return.
Btw, I have never had anything done on my nails, and I am getting to where I want to get them done for the first time, just to try (I'm 67).
OMG Patty! You getting to be their clothes model, changing into lovely items, YOU ARE INCREDIBLE! I love this SO MUCH! This was a job from GOD for you!!! I hope you get to do this on a regular basis! I do so hope you get a discount on purchases at least! How much fun is this, so cool!
At last, I want to say I am so sorry your friend lost her long time dear husband. My dh and I have been together over 47yrs, he's 73, I'm just 67. If I lost him, I don't know how I could survive. We aren't the kind of people to have lots of nearby friends.
It was lovely to hear you chat with us, and as always, your "be kind and pray for peace" is always a soothing reminder that there is lots of goodness and light in this world...
Patti you are such a lovely lady with the sweetest spirit. I’m sure we all understand you have a life aside from your UA-cam channel and we do thank you for the time you devote to it. But there is another life out there and if there’s a lull in the time between videos then that’s ok as long as you are well. Thank you for all you do and all you share. Love you videos. 😊💕
Patti, so sorry about your friend’s husband.
Love, love your nails. Love your videos, I look forward each week for new videos.
I know you are the perfect model for Chico’s, you look beautiful and know how to puts clothes and accessories together. Can’t wait to see your purchases. Have a wonderful week.
Oh, Patty I am so sorry that your friend lost her husband. You are such a good friend to her. I totally enjoyed your video...your makeup fail, your nails! I laughed when you said you caved. I've had dip nails and loved it but now I'm back to glue on again only because it's so convenient. My nails completely stopped growing! I have a channel and I am 71 and will have my channel forever. I understand what you say about the work. With all the interruptions I get, it's a bit challenging!! I need to learn from you how to better myself on YT. Thank you so much for your videos. They are absolutely so inspiring!! Love and hugs, Jeanie
Patti, you always bring encouragement when you share and I love your ideas on makeup, etc. I’m so sorry for the loss of your dear friend’s husband. I’m so glad you will go and spend time with her when she is finally alone. My friend did this for me, and it was a huge gift! I am a widow of 4 years and my daughter is a widow of 8 years. We have written a devotional of short thoughts of hope for widows. It’s called “Surviving Widowhood…..40 Devotions of Hope”. Sharon
Thank you for doing this.
You have inspired me to take better care of myself.
I had not wore makeup in years. But seeing you made me want to do this.
Again thank you.
So very sorry for the loss of your friend. Sending hugs. I stopped with the gel nails. The growth/dirty looking underneath grossed me out too! The cost of upkeep, etc. was bad enough but they kept hurting my fingers with their tools or their pointy nails & when I questioned how far under the "dirt" looked I asked if it was fungus & they said no. After the last time I was dissatisfied with the look of the under growth, I was told I needed a new set anyway. The last time they did not soak them off, they used another tip & peeled them off. I thought I was going to throw up or faint. I spent 5 hours soaking them off & lo & behold I had a serious fungus infection under one & spots on several. Long story short, I am sporting short nails & after months they are almost done with the damage from the gel nails. Yes, they looked pretty on top but that was it. I wore acrylic for 20 plus years without any of that! I left mine natural for 10 years & missed pretty long nails now I kind of like the short look. I have long nail beds & they grow unnaturally fast. I'm saving over $100 a month not driving there & getting them done, & the unearned tips I gave them. Rant over. lol I enjoy all your vids regardless of the subject matter or if you don't get one up for a bit, that's OK too! Pretty sure all of us are fine with waiting!
Hello Patty, thank you. You are looking absolutely fabulous. Your skin is glowing. Sorry to your friend who lost her husband. Blessing to you and Jim 🎉❤
Oh I remember the poncho vlog! I fell in love with your channel then and there
Patty, your nails are so lovely and as soon as the bruise(that almost covers the back of my hand)heals, I'm going to have my nails done like yours,. Isn't it something the way just having your nails done gives you such a new outlook and makes you feel so feminine? Lol. Patty I know you were such a joy modeling at Chico's as you are just precious and so approachable. I'm sorry for your friend who lost her husband. I too lost mine (no children)after 49 yrs., 5 yrs ago. She has a long way to go and for that I'm sorry. She is lucky to have a wonderful friend like you who just needs to let her talk.(and cry). God bless you and looking forward to your next video.
I am sorry to hear about your friend’s husband. We experience so much loss as we get older. On a lighter sides…..it would be so exciting to walk into Chicos and see you modeling their clothes. I am glad you had a good time.
We were so Honored!! You looked FABULOUS!!! Thank you for modeling at our Chicos Pensacola!!!!!
Patti, No need to apologise, once, twice a week or once a month we'll be here waiting as long as you want to continue.x ❤
You are just such a pleasure to watch. You have style, grace, beauty in many, many ways. Really classy, elegant. 💕💕💕
Patti, I am 78 years old and still go every 2 weeks for SNS (dip) nails and I love them!!!
I am happy you had a great time at Chico’s. Love Chicos myself.
I am so sorry for the loss of your friend’s husband. Prayers for her and her family and you.
So happy to see you today and love your nails. I found someone who does hard gel nails and they are wonderful. Have a great week💕
Hi Patti,
You look beautiful as always.
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend.
I will always watch your videos, you are just so real.
Hi Jim
Love from Michigan ❤️
I am at the salon every four weeks for a filling I am happy with my nails and looking great 👍 ❤❤❤❤❤
Patti, you should know your fan base is living in the same lane as you. So we understand life happens. Please know from the bottom of my heart, your videos give us a lift, and it's a secret friend group.❤
Hi Patti, I loved the shawl changeover, I laughed alot, how could you come up with so many changes? Good to see you looking so good , like visiting with a close friend, must have been a blast at Chicos. They should hire you full time, with your personality and fashion expertise. Have a super good fall and harvest season. Sally
Hi, I've been doing the "dipping powder" nails for years, since they first came out, maybe 6-7 years ago, here in Florida. I love them because my manicure lasts longer, sometimes 6 weeks. If they are applied well and you're wearing that light color you are wearing in your video, the gradual growth shouldn't bother you too much. They don't do a "fill" as they grow out. You have to have them removed and reapplied. They wrap them in cotton drenched in acetone to remove so they sorta "dissolve" off my fingers while I'm having my pedicure (I don't do dipping powder on my toes). Sometimes if I'm traveling or it's inconvenient to go to the salon to take them off, I will find a bottle of regular nail polish in a matching color or sometimes I get a different color that looks nice with the dipping powder nails, (metallic gold or silver look great) at CVS or Walgreens and apply it where the growth is between my cuticle and the edge of the nail, to extend my manicure for another week or so. A good manicurist will have applied the dipping powder so the edge isn't "raised" and if you're really neat applying the nail polish it's a good "fix" till you're ready to have the dipping powder redone.
Patti, love your eye shadow, you usually share what you have on. And your eyelashes, I don't know what you're doing but they look really good. Great video, as always, and sorry about your friend...
I will be 71 in a few weeks and I have been getting my nails done for 11 years. I started with the gel for several years but then discovered the dip powder holds up much longer for me. Years ago I tried to occasionally polish my nails myself but regular polish never held up for more than a couple of days so I gave up. My daughter treated me to my first nail salon experience when my niece got married. I fell in love! I haven't gone without my nails being done since then except during Covid. It was one of the first things I did when it was safer, I was so excited! I don't smoke and I don't drink so that's my habit😁
Patti your regular viewers love you and will keep watching you...even if we have to wait. Since being housebound...not getting my nails is one of the things I miss the most! You are not the only person that wanted to like that foundation (Haus Labs) and didn't. I've heard it from others. You look great! Stay well!❤❤
Ok, I really liked the brushes and after your presentation, I went right to
the "more" in the description to buy the brushes. Then . . . I saw the
price! Wow!!!! $130 for 5 brushes? I'm sorry, but $130 is soooooo out-
of budget for the average woman for "brushes." I mean, brushes are
not obviously the most essential "make-up" item! Maybe . . . an eye-
liner brush is important . . . but the rest of the brushes are really just
a luxury (IMHO.) "Flashy" needs to adjust her price by at least 50%
in my humble opinion.
Awwww Patti! Are we living parrallel lives? My best friend since the late 70's husband died suddenly last month on their 50th anniversary. I will be flying down to be with her in 3 days. I have also been wearing press on nails, but will go get a pedicure and my acrylic nails back on before I leave... so I'm caving too. From another Patty
your nails look beautiful, as do you!
I really miss my dipped nails. It's been several years now. I have been thinking of splurging myself!
am so sorry about your loss! i): I love your videos! Thanks for the info about chico's! see you in your next video, stay well beautiful!
Me again! I’m noticing you and other content creators look fabulous in your button up shirts. Very polished and elegant in such a simple piece.
What fabric is yours made of? I like soft shirts made of cotton but not the wrinkles! Polyester can feel too stiff to me.
Ladies, any suggestions on shirt fabrics or brands you like? ❤
Patti, I’ve been hooked on S&S nails, the dip powder for awhile! I try to go 3 weeks between full ins. I’m 62 and they definitely make my aging hands look much better! Enjoy!❤

I remember your video where you calculated the amount of money you spent on getting your nails done over the years, so I am surprised you caved. I haven't had my nails done since March 2020 and after 30 years of getting my nails done, I am happy to be free of the every two week commitment and money on getting my nails done. I got my nails in great shape and maintain them myself now. But, hey, if getting your nails done makes you happy, go for it. Life is too short.
I noticed how great your hands looked right away ❤️
Really wanting to know what all of your makeup is today? It's gorgeous and fresh!💕
Love it. Sounds like fun at Chicos. I'm not a Lady Gaga fan so not surprised about her makeup.
I just turned 80 and I still do my nails with S & S powder. My sentiment is that while I can’t do a thing about turning 80, I can make myself look a good bit better by taking a little time with my makeup, my hair, and my nails. I have short fingers, and having pretty nails does indeed make my hands look better! I like the S & S powder because it doesn’t harm my nails at all. I wore it for the last 10 or more years without stopping but decided about 6 months ago to give my nails a “break”. I was so afraid they would be weak and in need of repair, but to my surprise, they were just fine! I did my own manicures for about 3 months then just got lazy and back to my nail salon I went!
What is s and s powder for nails?
S&S is a special powder the technician dips your nails into after applying a special “polish”. I use OPI brand but there may be others. Nails stay smooth and shiny until you get it removed weeks later. Nails are hard and don’t chip! Google it for a better description of the process! 😄
So sorry for the Loss of your dear friends' husband. Condolences. You look lovely. I liked the ideas with the Ponchos. Blessings...
