Your butt aches from sitting in the same chair, trying to
come up with an awesome design for your freshly cleaned nails. You don’t want to
go spend money at the salon; parting with your money has become more and more difficult! As you sit there unwilling to admit you have no idea what you want to try
this time, an idea pops into your brain! You grab your computer and scourge the
web for interesting new designs…
Hello everyone :) and welcome to my world of fresh ideas.
I’m just a normal girl on a budget. College doesn’t pay for
itself, as many of you know…but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice having
cute nails and feeling pretty! I believe that happiness of all degrees is important
in a person’s life, and who doesn’t feel amazing getting compliments on cute
nails? The fact that they were done YOURSELF is twice as rewarding, trust me.
Getting a mani/pedi at a salon when you’re short on cash is like eating chocolate
cake on a diet: a day on the hands, a dent in the wallet! Why not save that
money for something else?
The advantage to doing your own nails are numerous:
·
You don’t have to pay for them!!!
·
You can let your creativity run un-tethered.
·
You can wow your friends, and maybe teach THEM a
few tricks.
·
With the polishes you buy, you’ll always have an
arsenal of colors at your fingertips (haha :P). Plus if you love it, you’ll own
it!
·
It could turn from a hobby to a career…you never
know ;)
SO, now that you’ve seen why DIY nails are so cool, you want
to run to the store and buy every cute polish in sight, right? Yeah, I’ve been
there. I’ve found myself in the beauty isle, yearning for those super pretty
bottles of polish plenty of times. But we want to save some money! So here’s what you do…buy polishes in a
pre-determined palette; polishes that can be mix-matched. Maybe you’re a fan of
pastels and glitter, or of bold and brave colors. Have in mind what you want,
and finding it will be easier on you and your wallet.
Well, now that I’ve established that, it’s time to have some
fun with nails >:)
