Beautiful nails for the lazy
There's nothing better than having a fresh set of nails to boost your confidence… But, it can be PRICY! I used to get my nails done every 2 weeks for YEARS! I don't even want to think about how much money I spent… Now I do them at home (when I have t...
Shellac polish
I will ALWAYS grab the shellac polish over traditional. It dries immediately so you know it won't get messed up the second you're done and move on with your life (I swear traditional polish can take hours to dry!) Once you have the light and polish -...
*A gel light is NEEDED with shellac polish because it won't dry otherwise*
This is the light I have and it does everything I need it to. It's one of those things that you can splurge on if you want, but it's not necessary! This one is like $20 and it has adjustable timer settings.

Another option for a shellac gel light. Honestly - Amazon has the best options for reasonable prices. Other big brand places sell them for $90+ and these cheaper options still do the trick!
CND is the only brand that doesn't irritate my moms skin. Other brands make her fingers itch and swell up! This brand could be worth looking into if you have more sensitive skin - they have really nice colors and I've never had any issues with them o...
My friend got this exact kit and I'm kinda jealous honestly.. It has everything you need an a shit ton of colors to pick from! I tried the glitter ones and they don't feel gritty (I know my OCD friends will appreciate that) and it comes with stickers...
This video walks you through exactly how to do your nails at home (I'm guilty for not doing my cuticles bc it gives me heebie jeebies lol) but other than that - this is my exact process! I always do the last coat for 60 seconds to make sure it's full...
Stick with me here- tin foil is a GAME CHANGER when removing your gel polish! This polish can really stick to your nail and I know once one chips, they all gotta go! Take a strip of tin foil and a cotton ball or paper towel - soak it in alcohol and w...
**Resist temptation to pick them off!! You'll damage your nails! This method takes just a few minutes and you can still get some stuff done while they're wrapped. Thank me later!
I've gotten a lil crafty with my nails and printed out some vinyl designs to stick on my nails (the cricut can print out little designs that you can stick on your nails like DIY stickers!) - I've done hearts for Valentines Day, Snowflakes, Shamrocks,...
The Cricut can do some cool stuff! (check out my crafty list if you like this stuff!) This video walks through how to use the Cricut Design Space to find fun stickers to add to your nails! It's a fun way to jazz up your nails!
If you want to jazz up your manicure, you can find nail decal stickers! I like these simple, yet elegant floral stickers. They look good on just about every color you could imagine! I'd love to know - what kind of stickers do you like adding to your ...
Press on nails
Sometimes it's nice to just glue some nails on and call it a day - These brands are the best on the market from my research (based on affordability, designs, lengths, and shapes). Let me know which brand is your favorite!
This set is beautiful AND the adhesive glue is included! I hate the packs that don't include the glue - let's be real, I'm not keeping nail glue in stock at home. The back of the pack has application instructions and they're easy to follow. I also ad...
The glue isn't even needed for these! You just peel off the back layer from the nail and you're good to go! I'm always gentle with them for the first few hours, but I've never had a problem with them popping off randomly. I just get paranoid about lo...
This video walks you through how to prep your nails so the press on nails stay on longer. Trust me, you want to watch this before you apply them bc if you don't they'll probably just pop off within a couple days.
These are reusable sets - which is nice if you have a specific style you like! You can paint or reshape them if you want, but I'm a perfectionist and I'm scared I'll mess them up. They have some really nice options though!
Don't torture yourself or damage your nails by ripping your press-on's off! This method will help speed up the process while making it much more comfortable to remove them!
imPress has a ton of options and they have peel n' stick sets which make it so much faster to stick them on and move on with your day! Plus, they have a good size variation and they normally last 2+ weeks!
