Here it is, my best beauty advice for those on a budget: befriend someone in the industry! Today I had a manicure and a pedicure and all it cost me was my gas to get there! For those of you who don't know, my mother is an esthetician and so going to my parents for dinner usually involves benefits beyond laundry service and home cooked meals.
Besides making you all extremely jealous, I'm writing to report what I think will be the new trend in nail color this summer. Everyone remembers how black nails were SO big 2 years ago? ( I still LOVE the look of black nails btw). These last couple of months however, I have been noticing many celebs rocking white nail polish (Natasha Bedingfield is pictured) I decided to try it out today and absolutely loved the results.
Just a word to the wise: Do not try this at home! If you are going to go for this look I think it would be best to get it professionally done. The white really emphasizes the shape and condition of your nails, so a professional file and cuticle care is necessary to achieve a sophisticated look.
If you really want to attempt the look yourself make sure you use a good quality nail polish (try OPI 'Alpine Snow') and make sure it is new. Nail polish that has been under your sink for 3 years won't do the trick as old polish tends to get thick and goopy and will make a smooth, glossy finish difficult to achieve.
