girl tools
I’m nursing a headcold today, working on Nearly White #2 and giving myself a manicure. Ordinarily I wouldn’t have much to say about the manicure - I blame the headcold.
I’m not a big fan of nail salons. The tools always squick me out a little bit. Did you sterilize that? Really? Show me. Plus I keep my nails short and can’t stand chipped polish, so it’s really not worth the $15. But every so often I swipe on a coat of something shiny. Then I get impatient and smudge it before it’s completely dry. Or find a chip a day later; I’ve more than once scrubbed off polish in the bathroom at work with one of those acetone-soaked felt pads.
Until a few months ago, when I bought a bottle of Creative Nail Design Air Dry clear topcoat. It’s changed my nail-polishing life. (Really.) I never used to wear polish more than two days in a row, now I can go four or five without chipping. And it dries everything really fast, fast enough that you can wear socks ten minutes after a pedicure. Fast enough that you can do a quick manicure in a parking lot right before your wedding. True story.
Shoot! I wish I had seen that!
