Christmas nails!

As you have all probably now learned, I am quite a lazy person by nature. So if there are little tricks to save time and make life simpler, you best believe I take them.

For example, I recently painted my nails a beautiful bright retro red color (Sephora by OPI “And A Cherry On Top”), and wore it for about a week when it started to chip at the ends. Now, I just wasn’t feeling up to scrubbing it all off and re-painting my nails some other color. Because I’m very lazy. So instead, I took out my nail clipper and trimmed my nails, which conveniently also took off all the chipped bits. Hooray – a perfect manicure, take two.

But I didn’t stop there, though I could have. I felt like adding some sparkle, so I decided to turn my classic red manicure into a holiday-inspired manicure. I used two gold glitter topcoats (one with fine gold glitter, and one with a combination of large and small glitter) to paint over the red. It took about two minutes to do, and voilà! Christmas nails.

Do you guys have any little tricks to make a manicure last longer? Let me know! x
