One of my guilty pleasures is getting manicures and pedicures. I love it. Almost more then wine. Almost. It is one hour that I can sit back and relax in my massage chair while I get pampered. My feet and hands feel wonderful and look amazing when all is said and done.
Although I love this hour or so of relaxation, I don't like paying for it! Pedicures normally stay pretty for quite awhile. Manicures however, are another story. Between working at the restaurant, coaching field hockey and teaching, my nails are normally chipped by the next day. Not to mention, they are my real nails, which makes it harder for the polish to stay on, or so they say! I must admit that I am pretty cheap. I am one that goes into a store, picks up a few things and then talks myself out of all of them before I can even make it to the register. Don't get me wrong, in my small town, a manicure and pedicure doens't break the bank! I still don't like shelling out $40 of hard earned money when I think about the things I could buy in our new, yet to be built, house.
In my quest to save money, I have discovered Sally Hansen's manicure kit. I tried it previously, but the tip on the white polish was too thick and didn't do a very good job. The other day I was in the store and discovered this beauty
The precision tip pen is just as skinny as a pen, and makes getting an exact straight line pretty easy! Now I can do my manicure myself and touch it up whenever it gets messed up by my busy life. I. Love. It. I swear it looks better then even the salon does it.
This takes care of the manicure, I think I will still leave the pedicure to the professionals. I'm not that good, plus I like my feet rubbed! What girl doesn't?
