FULL Manicure - Part 1 of 4
Part 2: www.youtube.com Part 3: www.youtube.com Part 4: www.youtube.com Video request. Sorry it took so long. You don't need to be a professional nail technician to have a FABULOUS manicure. Products (you can use any nail color...from my personal AND professional experiences, you'll need to invest in a really good base coat and top coat) You'll hear folks say that they don't need a Base coat. Professionally speaking, for "NATURAL" nails, you SHOULD always use a base coat, especially if you want your polish to last longer. Remember you don't have to use the brands I use, but, these are my preferences. Polish nails in this order: OPI Base Coat OPI Nail Color OPI Top Coat Seche Vite Fast-Drying Top Coat or Poshe' Fast-Drying Top Coat

It's ONLY Hair!
I could not take the direction my hair was going. I combed it out and proceeded to CUT...NOT trim, but CUT. I am soooo happy I did it. I got the fullness I like back. Don't be afraid...as long as you take care of it, it WILL grow back!
