I have missed my beauty love (this blogspot). Meek's Mobile Make Up Counter received it's first celebrity shout out! Thank You to Michael Costello who appreciated and shared my blogspot on his FB page:
Well, for the last 3 or so years I have used press on nail polish strips. Mostly by Sally Hansen brand purchased from Wal-Mart but I have also used other generic brands I have found on sale at Big Lots in a bin under a shelf marked $1 clearance. This girl cannot pass up a deal! Anywho, I have also used the Kiss brand and I love the quick convenience of a mani/pedi at home with a salon look. Here are some pics of my hand and toes for a weekend rachet bejeweled look on my way out on the town that took me everybit of 15 minutes to complete:
The polish strip packages come with very simple instructions and with a little bit of determination and an emery board in hand honey...you can do it too. They come in a variety of colors and patterns even french manicure. Heck, I've even seen them in an Avon catolog. I gave my sister these leopard nails to match her bridal shower decor last fall:
Beauty Tip: When using polish strips or gel nail strips, be sure to start with a clean nail bed. Use nail polish remover before starting and right before application of the strips, be sure to wipe the nail bed clean again. Either use the preparation clothes provided in the kit or a simple LINT FREE cosmetic pad from the drugstore with REGULAR RUBBING ALCOHOL will do just fine. I use rubbing alcohol on my nail bed even before applying wet paint to elongate my wear.
While out on a cosmetics dig at a closing sale at a local K-Mart, I bought a gel nail kit by Sally Hansen that I did not want to pay $30 for that I nagged for $16 woohoo! It is a complete starter kit so I am looking forward to trying out my new purchase. I have no plans of ever paying for a manicure ever again unless someone else is paying ;-)
Liberate Yourself (from the nail salon that is),
