The Event: A wedding to go to.
The Task: I needed a manicure.
The Dilemma: I couldn’t afford one!
The Solution: Sally Hansen’s 5 Minute French Manicure
I discovered this quite by accident while at the store to pick up a cheap travel size emery board that I could take to the wedding with me in my purse. You get quite a bit for the cost, a pure white tip pen for drawing on (was a lot like using a magic marker) your “tips” and it also included a bottle of “base/top coat” and a bottle of “color polish”. I followed the included step by step instructions and I had a pretty decent rendition of a french manicure at a fraction of the cost.
The feature I liked best about this product was the fact that there is enough liquid in the pen and polish in the bottles that I can get several manicures out of this one-time purchase and I can touch it up anytime I like when it is convenient for me. No more depending on salon sales for my manicures/pedicures, I’d rather do it myself in the safety/cleanliness of my own home anyway.
