Hard as Nails

One of my favorite things to do is give myself a manicure. I love making my nails look pretty, and doing it myself not only saves money, but is a great stress reliever.

Apparently, it's a hobby many bloggers share! Sasha found such an interest, that she invited us to become "Manicure Mommas" and created a new blog. I've got a post there that highlights the "bargain" part of my hobby! :)

Hard As Nails

I was so inspired by Sasha and Katee that I decided to document my attempt to grow my nails. I haven't figured out how to get decent pictures of my hands, so it's safe to say that I won't be getting any hand modeling contracts anytime soon!

Here are my nails yesterday. The color is something Revlon. I liked it in the bottle and a LOT better on my nails. The topcoat is my fave Seche Vite product, of course! I really just wanted to show my "before" pictures!

With any luck, in about four months, I'll have nails like Katee's (her amazing nails are all-natural, btw)! Nail polish all the time and "jewels, not tools!" Woo-hoo!
