Apr. 29th, 2014 02:03 pmInstead of talking about anything important, I want to talk about the fact that I painted my nails on Sunday afternoon and they are still intact. I'm not sure you understand how often I use my hands and nails - any time I paint my fingers I'm lucky to have it last a couple hours, let alone a whole day. IT'S DAY TWO AND I AM GOING STRONG. Allow me to share my fun tips with you:
- Wipe nails with white vinegar before anything.
- ORLY super rubbery base coat, the name for which escapes me because I am not actually a beauty blogger, but it's the best
- Two thin coats of color
- Seche Vite top coat
- Dunk fingertips into a bowl of ice water. Hold as long as possible, remove and warm up, repeat until you want to kill yourself.
- Do take a nice easy hour or so on the fingers, but at this point, you're close to home free.
Don't say I never gave you anything.
