December has been Beauty Tips Month…and I thought I would offer some Frugal and Easy Nail Tips!
Whiten Your Nails
Here is a quick tip o whiten your nails…I tried it and I did notice a slight difference
- Lightly buff the top of your nails
- Add 1/2 cup of really warm water in a bowl
- Add 4 tablespoons of baking soda and stir until mostly dissolved
- Add 2 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide
- Soak nails in the solution for about a minute (or longer)
Use Cooking Spray to Set Your Manicure
I have been doing this for about a month…it sets your manicure and cuts down on the drying time. I let my nails air dry for about 30 seconds and then I spray them with a light coat of Cooking Spray. I let them set for about a minute and the rinse under cold water.
No Mess-up Polishing
If you have an unsteady hand, be sure to apply Aquaphor or Vaseline around the nail to prevent errant nail polish strokes. If you get the polish on your skin, just take a cotton swab and it easily wipes away.
DIY Nail Box & Easy Polish Color Coding Tip
You don’t need a fancy smancy box to store your nail care items…simply select a lovely shoe box (or other type of box similar in size). If you don’t already have a pretty box you can cover any box with a pretty wrapping paper.
Place all nail care items in the box and you will have it all in one convenient place when you need it.
Also you can color code the bottle tops of your nail polish so you can select your color at a glance. Just take white labels, dab a swatch of nail color, allow to dry and then use a one hole punch. Place dot on the polish lid. Easy color coding!
Need some new nail polish? I am a BIG Fan of Julep Polish. Find out how to get a Julep Maven Box of Nail polish and goodies for just 1 Penny ($4.99 shipping). I absolutely LOVE my Julep Maven boxes every month!!
