Midas Touch Mani

Sparkly Tips!

Happy Wednesday!

I've always loved doing my own nails.  I don't think my first salon mani and pedi happened until I was 28 or 29 years old!   I kept acrylics up for a few months but got bored of them.  Also, having to rely on someone every two weeks for the up keep was inconvenient and expensive.  Both mani and pedi would run me a total of about $100/month...or $1200 a year!  Too much!

Before that, I enjoyed doing my nails at home.  I always  have a blast doing them while watching something on TLC or listening to music... with a glass of wine:)  It is so relaxing in the comfort of my own home.  Picking out new colors at Sally Beauty or Rite Aid is something I look forward to for a pick-me-up when I want to refresh my nail color collection.  Infrequently, if a girlfriend wants me to go with her to get her nails done I'll indulge in a pedi.  I would pay to sit in a massage chair for 20 minutes!  I feel so refreshed and and walk out with gorgeous toes:)

I felt like deviating from the normal French mani with the white tips I usually give myself.  The gold sparkle tips and translucent pearly pink I'll be donning for the next week and a half is super cute and fun!
