Nail Buisness

There is something about a fresh manicure that makes me smile. I love to see my vibrant colored nails strike the keys on my key board. For some reason it makes me want to type. Like many women I was a addicted to acylic and gel nails. They instantly make your nails longer, stronger, and your polish lasts for weeks....thats great right! Yeah it is the first two times that you get them done. After than your nail bed begans to get soft and brittle from the filing; and you end up with nails to soft and sore to put anything on them. I hate it. So I have been doing my own nails. Just simple home manicures because I like to change the color up often. This week I'm going with Sally Hansens Xtreme Wear in Blue Me Away!!! The color is peacock blue, so tropical. Great for spring and summer.

Usually my home manicures only last two days tops. I know I suck at home manicures. But there are many different reasons.
1. I never use a base coat
2. I never wait for the first coat to dry completely to apply the second coat
3. I never add a top coat
4. I never reapply top coat every so often

I am really slack about my manicures.

After meeting with one of my accountablitiy buddies ( Tay ), and seeing how great her at home manicure was I decided to give it a real try.... I took some advice from Tay ( she told me about her secret weapon) and I ran to walmart to pick up some new colors and a special base coat.

She told me that her secret weapon ( which I'm sharing with you below) helps her maicure stay chipp free for a week.

PRO FX is a line of topcoats, and bases that are designed to help your manicures last longer. The bottle I purchased was the 3 in one complete manicure which is a top, base, and strenghtner all together.

I applied the top and bottom coats and the polish.....

Here are the results


I'll update you next week on how long the manicures last. I'm going to try my best not to change the colors....

  1. I love it Sham! :) I don't know what it is about having fresh nails but it always feels awesome. Seeing nicely painted nails rather than dull, chipped ones makes me feel more polished. No pun intended. I love that blue by the way. I have it in my collection as well. Good choice!
