One nail, two nail, three nail, red nails

Not only is fashion and style about picking out the clothes you love, but it is about keeping up with appearances on all other parts of your bod, and in this case, I am talking about nails!

For guys, really all most of you do is clip them and that is totally fine.

However, for the ladies out there, most of you probably like to give your nails a little color every now and then.

Now, I feel like my hands look really manly if I don't have them a little bit longer, so I usually grow them out to be just past the length of my finger, I file them down so they are more square then round and I always make sure that they are clean because one of my biggest fears in life is to look down at my hands and see dirt under my nails.

The color that I choose today was a "Ruby Red" by Sinful Colors. One of the things that I love about this line is how easily it comes off and how it does not stain my nails at all.

I generally like to put a base coat on my nail first, followed by one to two coats of whatever color I choose and than a a clear coat on top to give it nice shine.

I allow there to be a 5-10 minute wait in between each coat to let the polish dry properly so that I don't get those pesky bed marks on my nails by the next morning (you all know what I am talking about!).

****Tip****
A tip that my friend taught me to keep the nail polish from getting all over  your hands and to make your nail look slimmer is to not paint the nail all the way down to the sides of your nail. It give the illusion of a thinner nail!

What colors do you like?
