Laila's Nails

If you know me, I hardly stray away from the classic French Manicure! It goes with everything and will always look chic whether your in formal attire or casual everyday wear! (I do however love my bright neons). To much surprise I do sometimes enjoy painting my own nails and if I have the time I will almost always give myself a french manicure. My favorite polish for the white tips is the ORLY French Manicure White Tips nail lacquer. (I got mine from Sally’s Beauty Supply). The white tips nail lacquer came in a kit with a rubberized bonding base coat & Pink Nude polish.

I find that this lacquer hardly chips and will last a very long time. It is stark white and looks beautiful if you want white tips or even just white nails. There is nothing more annoying than having a chipped manicure, and even more so if the white looks more dull or beige. I would recommend using a top-coat just for an added layer of protection for your manicure. I’ve even given myself amazing french pedicures with this product and I love how white the color payoff is, not mention the longevity.

I love this manicure, and I love this product even more. My manicure can last up to a week or more if I’m careful, and that is a huge savings compared to going to get your nails done every week or so. I love getting my nails done at a salon, but if you’re on a budget you can really get the same look doing it yourself with a little practice and the right products!

Happy Painting! Besos, Laila!

Laila is a Pre-Dental student who majored in BioChemistry – which has nothing to do with fashion, hair, and mascara, which is why she loves it so much! Two different fields can be an escape from the other! After years of climbing trees & scraping her knees, she hung up her Nike’s & slipped into stilettos; tossed the chap stick & began collecting tubes of lipstick. While she still keeps her athletic accomplishments near & dear, she has gracefully began to admire more feminine surroundings. Blogging about beauty is her addiction! It has become an outlet to share tips she has learned over the years, as well as an exciting platform to explore the musings of other bloggers. Even though these day’s she has more fun dressing up, you can sometimes find her hair in a messy curly bun and her feet in flats! She’s the girl who loves to make up, & dresses up for comfort but occasionally bearing the beautiful pain of lashes and 6 inch heels for style.
