OPI review and How to give yourself a killer manicure!

Aww Summer! The smell of flowers, the tweeting of birds, the pollen allergies...Sound Familar? Well folks its that time of year again! Time to dust of those sandals and iron that skirt. But the perfect acessory for you long weekend getaway...No not that new Coach bag, actually whats even better is perfectly manicured nails. A pop of color adds life to your whole outfit! I designed a step by step guide for your best manicure ever!

1.        The most slimming nail shape  is not long or short or square, it's "squoval" -- not quite square and not quite oval. Get the look yourself by filing nails into a shape that mirrors the curve of your nail base. 

2.        Roll the nail polish bottle between your palms. Shaking it will only cause air bubbles to build up. 

3.         soak a cotton ball in nail polish remover and rub across nails. This will remove any old nail polish, giving you a clean canvas

4.       Always apply thin layers. First paint each nail with a layer  base coat, next apply a layer of polish down the middle then one on the left and one on the right. Repeat after the nail is dried and last add a layer of topcoat to seal in the color. 

5.        Once your finished manicure is dried run a  orange wood stick dipped in nail polish remover along either side of nail to fix any flaws.

6.        Gotta rush back to work  before your pedicure is dry? Apply cuticle oil over the polish. This will keep anything from sticking to your polish. See my list of the best cuticle creams.

Hope your manicure turns out beautifully! Have a good summer!
