Snag this super cute mani look at a price you can afford over and over again. Learning how to do your own nails will not only save you money in the long run, but also helps to build up a nice supply kit as well. With all of the cute nail accessories, colors and styles out now, having the perfect eye catching manicure is not only cheap but incredibly EASY to achieve. Cant polish your own nails because you have two left hands? No worries honey, Sally Hansen, Kiss Nails and just about all other major nail brands now carry "nail strips" that require absolutely no nail polish painting. Simply peel, apply and go!
Today's mani look was achieved by incorporating both nail methods mentioned above..Polishing my nails while using a really cool design on my ringer fingers. (Design by Kiss Nails).
When polishing your nails remember to file, cut nail if needed, push back cuticles and moisturize your hands by applying a bit of lotion. Make sure your hands are clean and that your nails do not have any rough edges. When applying nail polish, its always best to apply a base coat, 2 color coats and a clear top coat. If your applying a nail strip, I would recommend applying this first before actually painting your nails as you can avoid any smudging.
In this case, I used Sally Hansen's "Salon Complete Manicure" addition in color "Commander in Chic." Colors appear very sheer and runny upon the first coat application, however no need to worry as the second coat really fills in the color leaving a rich completed look. Whats also really cool about this particular nail color addition is that it cuts your main steps from 3 to 1 by incorporating a base, color and top coat in one little bottle. (That could possibly explain the runny texture of the polish). I followed through with a clear coat of Sally Hansen's "Quick Dry Polish"and vowa-la...Salon ready nails!!
love it!! :)
