Hot Topic Thursday: At Home Manicures

Okay I chose this topic for this week because I really need tips and help. I suck at doing a manicure at home. I can paint my nails but it takes me so long that it is not worth it. I tried a new polish but even after three hours the polish felt dry then the first time I washed my hands it literally melted off. I followed all of the steps and have no idea what it is that I am doing wrong.

I am to long nails later than most girls. I used to work with my hands a lot and my nails always ended up broken. I still work with my hands but have discovered that I really like nice nails. I just hate always going to have them done. So when I do shell out the money for it I make sure to pay extra for that gel stuff that lasts like two or three weeks. I try to get the post for my money. I do not have fake nails  but I would like to be able to do more for them at home.

If you follow me on Instagram you have most likely seen some of nail posts. I will make sure to show you all a picture of my nails unpolished. What I want is to learn how to shape them and care for them at home. I know that sounds silly but I honestly don’t know how to do that. I can cut them off which is what I do from time to time. However I am getting ready to go on vacation and would like them to look a little better. So lay on your tips and how to’s for me.
