Spring Nails DYI

Follow @caraallover Happy Friday evening! I'm afraid this is pretty pathetic Friday night for me. Eating cake. Watching television. Blogging. Invigorating, isn't it! I have exam 2/3 tomorrow afternoon (still debating how I'm getting back to Toronto) and I am doing my favourite studying thing - leaving it up to the universe because I decidedly don't have the attention span to study! Whatever. Do as I say, not as I do, ok. I'm day-dreaming about what my next nail adventures will be, which is of course far from productive or interesting, but Pinterest is keeping me entertained. Check out these cool spring-inspired polishes :)

Shellac Nails: I've recently fallen in love with a new kind of manicure. Shellac is gel-like nail polish that uses a small UV-lamp to dry, seal, and shine your nails in minutes. It's virtually cheap free, and marketed to last you a couple of weeks. This picture is of my nails 2 weeks after getting mine! There is some re-growth, but you would be shocked at how fantastic they look. They do not damage your nails as much as gel nails, but it is a good idea to let your nails breathe in between. Prices run anywhere from $25-$45, check out your local salons to see if they carry this fantastic product!
