Three months ago I made the decision to start doing my own manicures and pedicures at home. I was tired of running into the nail salon every 2 weeks to get them done. Plus…the cost was getting outrageous! It was one of the best decisions that I’ve made! I’m saving money, time and my nails are looking beautiful without damage from a salon!

Over the past few months I’ve tried numerous brands of nail polish and lacquers. Some of have been quite pricey at $25+ per bottle whereas others were only a $1.25 per bottle. Expensive doesn’t always mean better!
I’ve been purchasing Maybelline New York Fast Gel Nail Lacquer and love the brand! Let me tell you why.
1. Affordable! I typically purchase them online but sometimes I can find a few at my local Dollar Tree store too!
2. They dry super fast! I’m a busy woman. I don’t have 1-2 hours to sit around waiting for my nails to dry. Sorry, got better things to do with my time.
3. Long-Wearing! I can get 10-14 days of wear. I use 2-coats of nail lacquer on my nails. Sometimes with a top coat and sometimes without. Obviously…with a top coat I get closer to that 14 days of wear.
4. Beautiful Colors. I love the range of colors and finishes that I can find. I can find classic shade, funky colors and yes…I love glitter and metallics!
Right now I enjoy painting my nails a solid color. Letting it dry and then going over that solid color with a nice clear nail lacquer that contains fine glitter. Gives them a really cool effect. On weeks that I know I’m going to be hard on my nails (going camping, traveling, gardening, etc.) I will paint my nails with just a clear with glitter shade…that way if I get any chips or wear it will be less noticeable.
Tip: I recommend using Cutex to remove nail polish and nail lacquers…especially ones that contain glitter or colorful metallics. A lot of the other brands take too long and too much product to get the polish off. Cutex gets it off quickly and easily.
Well…there you have it! That’s what is in my maincure beauty bag right now that I’m loving. If you haven’t tried the line yet…I highly recommend!

Four years ago I decided to quit color-treating my hair and let the gray hair come in naturally. I’m 75 years old and all of those chemical treatments were damaging my hair. Besides…I think I look pretty good with silver hair. It looks more natural on me than brown hair that I used to have. My hair is shoulder length and is thinning down with age. At 75, I’m all about easy and natural looking hair now.
