There’s no doubt the month of october calls for cold weather and neglected nails. However, instead of spending an unnecessary amount of money on professional manicures, time to take a trip to the local drugstore to purchase a few new bottles of nail polish. I’m going to show you how to do a professional-looking manicure for half the price!
My favorite part about being able to do my own manicure, is the flexibility of choosing different combinations of polishes.
Don’t be afraid to try new nail designs!
My Favorites:
For a neutral base color, Essie’s “take it outside” will do just the trick! This taupe color is one of six colors in Essie’s Fall 2014 collection.
Add some sparkle with Sally Hansen’s gem crush nail polish, while using her nail art collection for different kinds of designs.
Sparkles + Metallic = Perfection.

A combo of these = killer manicure.
Prices:
Sally Hansen’s gem crush: $7.49
Sally Hansens nail art: $3.99
Essie: $8.50
(Purchasing these three bottles of nail polish, is way cheaper than paying for a professional manicure).
How To:
- Start by applying Essie’s “take it outside” on every nail but your pinky finger.
- Apply Sally Hansen’s sparkly gem crush …
