The Prettiest Nails on the Chalkboard






Essie's idea of a french affair?
Wine, Sand, and Endless Shopping. And you can bet your last penny this affair would include a mani-pedi.

Here are 3 of my fave Essie colors. For those of you who haven't tried this brand yet, I would dare to say it's even nicer than OPI. The colors are just prettier.

My all time fave is "Turquoise and Caicos" ... the other two, "Nice is Nice" and "Sand Tropez" are from the new Spring Line.

Tips!

1. Keeping your nail polish in the fridge will actually keep it thinner, and help keep the color
2. Apply nail polish remover to your nails before painting them, even if you aren't wearing color. This removes any excess dirt and oils, making the polish stick better.
3. Two thin coats are better than one thick coat. Allow for a good amount of drying time in-between
4. If your nail breaks, take nail glue used to apply fake nails, and glue down the nail instead of cutting it off. It holds surprisingly well and keeps the shape of your nail

Happy Polishing!
