Listen up Moms!

My post tonight is about paint, but not the kind of paint you're probably thinking...although Sherwin Williams is having a huge paint sale in case you're interested. You can see the promotion here:

You receive 25% off all paints and stains and 15% off paint supplies.

Okay, on to the important paint...

If you're like me, my hands are always in soap, cleaning products, bleach, etc...my nails always looked horrible! Even if I decided to paint them, the paint would start chipping within a couple days and I would end up at work with trashy looking chipped up nail polish.

Good news though, I no longer have awful looking nails. I actually have manicured nails with polish that lasts for weeks! What's my secret? Well, you may already know about this, so if you do-yay You! :) if not, you are going to L-O-V-E this! The new thing is gel polish, also called gel nails. The nail tech applies 3-4 coats of this gel polish (comes in all OPI colors) and dries them under a UV lamp between coats. The best part is the polish lasts for up to a month. I usually change it every 3 weeks. The second best thing about this polish is that when you leave it's completely dry with no chance of smudging it nd messing up your nails! Can you tell I love this stuff?! I've always been a nail biter so it's kind of amazing now that I have decent looking nails.

I'm pretty sure most nail salons offer gel polish now, but I will give a shout out to Epik Nail Salon on N Western Avenue. They are awesome! I would post a pic of my perfectly polished nails, but I am posting from the iPad --- so no pictures.

I bet you had no idea you would find such useful information on this blog. :)
More about furniture projects next time.
