I used to get my nails done at the nail shop, but not consistently. I didn't like how the nails felt on me, and they would break very easily.
I am a cheapskate; I don't like to waste money. Also, I am allergic to a lot of chemicals. This means that I have to be very careful so I don't have a negative reaction.
For many years, I have been polishing my nails at home. Once in a while, I will go to the nail shop to get a basic manicure with only nail polish.
There are so many nail polish brands. I used to buy nail polish that cost one dollar, but I found them not to last very long. For about three years, I have been using more expensive nail polish, and I love the results that I am having. The polish lasts about a week or so.
Even if the nail polish is 10 or 30 dollars, it is still cheaper than going to the nail shop. And you will have a more expensive-looking manicure.
Now, I like to shop online at Beyond Polish because they carry all of the major brands, but they have some amazing prices, and they also have gift cards if you want to give nail polish as gifts. I love going to my mailbox to get my nail polish without stepping foot in a store.
I have a large collection of nail polish. Actually, I do not need any more nail polish but I am constantly browsing for more. I like that I don't have to stop by the nail shop to go and fix a broken nail.
Most of the time I paint my nails about three or four hours before I go to bed to make sure that my nails are fully dry. This helps the polish to set.
After I get tired of a certain shade of nail polish, I donate it to Goodwill or an organization that deals with battered women. I used to be in a battered women's shelter. I and the other ladies loved to polish our nails with nail polish that was donated. That was such a self-esteem boost.
If you have items to donate, contact a battered women's shelter in your area. They will not allow you to come directly to the shelter, but they usually have donation boxes that they use. This is such a blessing to women who have been displaced because of being battered.
Beyond polish has other products besides nail polish. They have hair products, makeup, jewelry, and tools, and they constantly have sales on their products.
