The Kit
The wonderful outcomeI am just going to put it out there...I am a nail biter! I am sure many others share in my shame, but it's just a habit I cannot break. I have discovered that if my nails are painted and look pretty then I am less likely to bit them. I also love to get manicures, but I am not always willing to pay the price. So I started looking for other options. I found at Wal-Mart this 3-in-1 french manicure set and it comes with a tape like guide to place over the tip of your nails while you paint. I have decided to just use tape whenever the guided strips run out. The cost was only about $6.00 and it will last a long time. It is day three and I have only had one chip. The box says it should last six to eight days (which you cannot always trust), but overall I am pleased with the outcome, they really do look professional. To cut back on drying time I used this drying spray for nails, it is just like the stuff you use in a nail salon (again, I got it at Wal-Mart). I believe I paid $3-$5 for the spray, but it is well worth it. This idea is great for all you country gals who cannot reach a nail salon within a 30 mile radius, for busy moms who need some pampering and for anyone on a budget. Try it!
Those look beautiful! I am not sure they would hold up at the clinic for even one day for me...
ReplyDeleteI don't tend to bite, but my nails tear off in layers on the ends. If they are painted it doesn't seem to happen as often.
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm a nail biter from way back. The last time my nails looked good was for a certain wedding in July. It took months of will power and self control, and just about wore me out, but I think I am less of a biter than before. Maybe.
