NAIL MANIA!

When it comes to nails I go crazy! I love all of the different nail designs and options you have. Today you can wear acrylic nails, gel nails, colored gel nails, silk wraps, and more! I usually make my weekly visit to the nail salon for that addictive Mani/Pedi but last week after my traditional Wednesday trip to Walgreens with my friend Vanessa I decided to save some $$! 

Walgreens always has some amazing sales and on that day it was NAIL POLISH! We got Wet n' Wild polish for 79 Cents each! and Revlon polish for $2.99 when it was originally $8!
Vanessa bought the Revlon Silver and the Wet n' Wild Glitter, picking a color was the hardest part so we definitely bought a bunch.  I bought the Revlon Endless Possibilities which is like a nude color with a hint of pink.

Of course before you paint your nails use some nail polish remover to take off any old polish, also using nail polish remover before you paint your nails lets the nail polish last longer. After taking old polish off your nails take a nail file and smooth out any rough edges. I got this nail file for 70 cents at Walmart when I took a trip to Lake George, I love it because the ladies hand is wearing diamonds. Sorry the photos is kind of bright but you can see it's Sally Hansen LA CROSS and the diamonds sparkle.

With Vanessa's polish she used the Revlon Silver as a base coat and painted the glitter Wet n' Wild over it. It came out really cool because it has an extra shine to it.



I used the Revlon Endless Possibilities as my base coat and had my friend Karina paint cheetah and zebra designs on them with black polish. I was so excited when I found out she could do this because I usually pay a lot extra at the nail salon for them to do this. I think it came out pretty wicked!



Overall our nails turned out great and we saved some $$ on our DIY Manicures!
