As a chronic nail painter myself, this little solution could very well be the key for me to go au natural with my nails without them looking yellow and stained! Yay!

1. Buff the nail to get any surface stains off.

2. Combine 1/2 cup of hot water, 4 tablespoons of baking soda (stir that until it mostly dissolves – it won’t dissolve all the way) and 2 tablespoons of peroxide.

3. Allow your nails to soak for about a minute each hand. (Or more if you’d like, but a minute is really all you’ll need!)

4. Show off your beautiful nails!

Who doesn’t love a good manicure? It’s a way to feel pampered and a little more put together. Gel manicures are all the rage right now and the polish stays a lot longer than the regular kind. I found a way to supposedly recreate this at home.

So just like it says in the picture first use one coat of Sally Hansens “Hard as Wraps”, two coats of your favorite nail polish, and one coat of Sally Hansen’s “No Chip”. I haven’t tried it yet, but I definitely will be!

Nail Art

I’m a sucker for nail polish. It’s a rarity that I can leave the store without picking up a new color. Nail art is all the rage this summer, and I’ve had loads of fun trying some of these tutorials! The first one is super cute, especially with the 4th of July just around the corner.
