I have absolutely no valid opinion on the opening points but I do think this is a very good solution. |

Ive taken to wearing sports bras because im sick to death of being poked by the effin wires in bras. Im over it.
OPI and essie nail polishes along with their base and top coats are great. Especially the OPI infinite shine. |

"Bras, look up the boob or bust fitting guide, game changer. Found comfortable well fitting bras for my whoppers so you should be able to too. "
I was just about to recommend Bob measuring guide for bras! You'll be surprised how wrong your current bra is! |

I still struggle because the band is so tight and uncomfortable.

Seriously was being fitted with 38 bands when you actually measure my band with an inch tape is 34. I know wear 34 newest bra is 32, so much more comfortable as the bra isn't moving about and bigger cup size means wires aren't on breast tissue. So so much more comfortable |

Also - don't just get bras based on your boob size, look into boob shape and weight distribution as well, the more comfortable bras are the ones that work best with the previously stated. |

I wear false nails so can’t help you their sorry ..I’ve come to the conclusion that the only way to be comfortable is to wear no bra sadly tho for us women that have big boobs that’s out of the question. |

I went to Bravissimo and got measured up and tried loads of bras on, found a couple that were really comfortable thankfully.
As for nails, I don't bother with nail varnish or false nails. With one of my jobs, I can never keep them looking nice so it's a waste of time trying. |

The best ones I've found are Primark!!! They're not the most beautiful- 40 denier & the top is striped but I'm a fairly wobbly size 16 & the large ones are actually a bit too big on me... |

On nails, in what way does the polish not stay put? If it peels or lifts off, that's potentially a different solution than if it chips or flakes off. For the former, I'd suggest ditch any polish and spend a few weeks caring for your natural nails - cuticle oil rubbed in a few times a day, consider vitamins. For the second problem, which is likely poor quality product, a good quality gel manicure by your local beauty therapist is probably the answer. |

Adding a gel overlay over your finished polish should keep it in place, works for me anyway.
M & S for everyday bra's are the most comfortable IMO and offer free fitting service
Hold ups are my bug, think I need a suspender belt, so any ideas on the best type are welcome ladies |

I have fairly big boobs and have never found a really comfy bra, including having them measured etc - so no help there, sorry.
I have really dry skin with bad eczema, I'm desperate to come off the steroid creams but seem to have tried everything. Does anyone have any miracle cures they know of please? |

I use nailtiques and solar oil, but the problem is chipping whether I use them or not.
Manicures aren’t an option unfortunately |

Gel nail polish really does the trick for me…
Have to say that I have been slacking most recently.
Summers nearly here so time to get the pretty nails out
Can’t help with the bra issues unfortunately…I tend to pick the look of it over comfort 
Tips needed for overthinking lol I seem to be over doing that most recently. |

Ann summers - I size up from my usual dress size and have found them great and there usually around £9-12
Primark also have ones that are £4 and stay up well.
I’ve always had this issue too with the dancers thighs, none of them want to stay put! |

Not read through the whole thread but I swear by the BIAB (builder in a bottle) nail varnish base. Quite thick but nothing chips etc with your nails, I go 3 - 4 weeks and they are perfect, only have regrowth. Hope this helps x |

I thought Snag Tights had started doing some…but I might also be confused with stockings  "
They do some tights with garters that look like stockings. I have two pairs (black and nude). They're excellent! |

Yep! Their mock garters are brilliant, they perfectly cup my rather sizeable bottom. No hold ups yet, I've got fingers crossed they restock their thigh high socks soon. |

The best bra I’ve ever owned was a Prima Donna Deauville (Rigby & Peller owned which I didn’t know at the time) it cost a small fortune in 2018 but worth every penny. It was constantly machine washed & worn for nearly 3 years. It placed my big boobs where they needed to be & stopped my back ache. I’m saving for another but they have released more colours making it hard to choose. In the mean time I’m wearing some from Next which do the job just not as well.

Bra's - ann summer, always a good fit and nice looking. Same for under wear, I like it matching 
Nail, try emery board to roughened the surface first then wipe with asitone to remove oils, allow to evaporate then paint and allow to dry between layers and put 2 coats of clear lacor on top to seal and protect.  |

My nails are too soft for nails varnish too... lasts a day at best and I'm too tight to pay for proper ones (plus they wreck your nails)
I recently followed an add for those sticker ones you see on insta, Manila
Honestly so good, last a couple of weeks
Sore bras... no answer with these heifers. Got a new bra that made full holes in my skin the other week. Still got the scars |

"Hold ups.... need some that'll fit the thunder thighs and stay up but not need a mortgage to afford "
I've got a fair few hold ups, body's, crotchless bits from UK tights, a few options that are "sized". One size hold ups have no chance of not rolling on my thighs.
I also read it on another Fab forum (thanks ladies) about dancers glue, "dancing sock glue" on Amazon, under a tenner, rolls on like deodorant to add some extra tac to the rubbery bands. A-MAZ-ING

I very rarely wear nail polish for that reason. If/When I do, I make peace with the fact that it will look good oke, 2 days tops. Gelish fucks up my already weak nails, had it twice but no more…
Bras- The Lightly-Lined Tshirt Wireless from Victoria’s Secret are super comfortable for everyday wear. I got them in every possible design in my last visits to Miami, Phoenix amd Vegas in the last 3 months. But there’s a good choice in stores here too! My fave is the pink striped one in my photos. |

Nails - clean with nail polish remover BEFORE applying, base coat, no 7 gel finish polish BUT the trick is once you’ve applied along the length of the nail add a stroke across the tip horizontally then one more stroke along the centre of the length. Use rubber gloves for any wet/dirty work
Hold ups - I see someone has already recommended dancers glue - this is also very handy for dresses/tops that need to be held in place

Bras also already mentioned - boob or bust measuring!
I was wearing 38 ee for years incorrectly, measured using this method and I’m apparently 40 h bought bras from a few retailers in this size MUCH better fit I also don’t buy underwire bras any more!
When I’m just myself and nobody is gonna see I just wear the crop top style padded tops now much more comfy
