Nails : )

I love how your nails make a statement for you & for your outfits! Use this as a guide line for you to your very own at home Manicure and Pedicure, if you are that adventurous! : )
You can use a coral color and then add a streak of white stripe using a nail pen, before you use your top coat! :)

MacBeth Butter London Nail Polish: $14.00
The perfect creamy coral polish! My fave! I finally got this after "eyeing" it for several months before, I decided I "needed" it! So now I have it! and I'm thinking about switching my nail color that I have on now to this... It also looks fab with glitter on all ten, or just one finger. You pick! My favorite glitter is an OPI which is: Gift of Gold, Unfortunately it was discontinued, but Ulta has some amazing nail colors from their nail line! Also, Sephora's nail line has some great colors in their glitter department!

Next we have:
OPI My Private Jet $8.50
Love this color! I think it was my first "dark" nail polish, and I fell in love with it! It's a dark charcoal/black/taupe polish with shimmer in it! Super cute & fun! The shimmers remind me of a hologram of sorts... Super chic!

And the last:
Okay so this is a toss up, I REALLY like Essie Pink Parka $7.50 but then I like Savina color Dream... The Essie color is bright hot pink, that has the same color to it as J.crew's shocking pink color that they use for their clothes! But then I also really like Savina's Dream $3.19 because it also reminds me of J.crew but in a different way, It look great when you are wearing bright coral lips! And it looks great with leopard! but it's an electric orchid color! super cute!! Love both!

And these are just for extras:
OPI Start to Finish Base coat & Top coat $11.00

And Essie Super Duper Top Coat $8.00
http://www.dermstore.com/product_Super+Duper+Top+Coat_35586.htm

And this is how I prepare my nails for the polish:
If I have old polish on, I take it off with acetone nail polish remover from walmart or target with a cotton ball, then I take an orange stick and push back my cuticles,use nippers if need be on cuticles, then I use a rough nail file to shape my nails, then I use a smooth nail file to smooth ridges, Then I use a 4 sided buffer to buff the the top of my nails & then I polish on the base coat, wait a few seconds, then I polish on my nail color, then I wait a few seconds, then brush on a second coat, then to top it off top coat, and leave it to dry! Usually takes 20-40 minutes to dry. Sometimes quicker when I use a speedy dry top coat. A good one to use is Essie Rapid Dry Top Coat. And if or more adventurous choose matte about you for fall! Super quick & super chic! (looks great on taupe & grey nail colors)

And then of course, toes are entirely different! Soak, scruff, push back cuticles, snip cuticles if need be with nippers, clip, file, smooth, buff, top coat, wait, nail color, wait, nail color, top coat, dry!

Enjoy!
