Beauty Tip #10 No-chip nail secret


Want to learn a trick on how to paint your nails like a pro and keep them looking fresh longer and on how to keep them from chipping. I get tired of painting my nails and in less than three days they are chipped and back to the way they looked before they were ladies don’t you hate that. Well I have four great and easy steps here that will help prevent that from happening again.


Remove all nail polish
-First remove all nail polish from nails, this will also help remove dirt and oils from your nails and will give you a good base to work with. Once your nails are smooth and clean, move onto the polish.





       

Use a base coat and top coat

-The base coat is usually always forgotten before painting the nails. But if you use the base coat it’s almost like a primer and will help smooth and protect your nails. Make sure you apply to your tips as well-this will help prevent chipping. After your base coat and polish of your choice give yourself a couple of minutes to dry and then use a top coat to seal the polish.





            
                                                          
                                               

                                










Allow time for polish to dry

-This can be very hard. But it’s a must in order for nails to come out the way you want. Not giving your nails enough time to dry will lead to smudging and that’s not cute, so just be patient and give your nails time to dry.





Cold water

-Looking for a way to make sure your nails are dry? Place nails into cold water to dry the polish, it really works wonders. After giving your nails time to dry, next dip you nails into cold water. This will harden the nail polish.






*Now that you have completed these four steps your nails should be just the way you want them hard and with a nice shine that will hopefully last more than 3 days. I hope this works for you because it did wonders for me.

Guest post by Brandi Cockerham

Many of you know that I am in a blogging class and for one of our requirements we have to have a guest post. So for my guest post I asked Brandi Cockerham to do a post because I absolutlely love her blog Pointers From a Penny Pincher because she gives you tips on how to save money when shopping, so if you have not been to her blog you are really missing out.

Guest Post

Hello Everyone! I want to start off by thanking Arsherres for giving me the opportunity to write this guest blog post for her. I am so honored to write for this blog as it is one of my favorite blogs to visit. Although I do not have nearly the sense of style and beauty that Arsherres does, we do have one thing in common- a passion for saving money. My blog, Pointers From a Penny Pincher , is a blog where I share tips on being frugal and smart when shopping for everything from groceries to clothes.

Dollar Tree

So, when Arsherres asked me to do a guest post for her, I was super excited but somewhat nervous because like I said earlier, I’m not nearly as familiar with beauty products as Reece is. I finally decided that I would write about where I buy almost all of my beauty products- the Dollar Tree! If any of you do read my blog, you know how much I love this store.


I’ll admit- I don’t buy much when it comes to make up… I’m pretty low maintenance. But, most of the products that I do need for my daily routine are sold at the Dollar Tree.  I use cotton balls and Q-tips on a daily basis, both of which are sold for $1 each. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, and conditioner are also available for $1 apiece. Some items that I use less frequently, but are also sold at the Dollar Tree include nail polish, polish remover, lipstick, eye shadow, blush, and make up brushes.

  

 Obviously, the Dollar Tree is not going to sell the name brands, such as L’Oreal, Herbal Essences, Dove, and Olay, that many ladies look for…but, if you want basic beauty products at a more than reasonable price- then be sure to hit up the Dollar Tree!

When my lips get chapped the first thing I go to is Chapstick, but never have I thought that just like your lips get dehydrated, crack, and peel, so do your cuticles. Your cuticles need as much hydration as your lips and Chapstick believe it or not will help them. The Medicated Chapstick really helps heal, hydrate, and protect them.


All you have to do is rub the Chapstick over your cuticles once and repeat a few hours later to make sure you get your cuticles back to the way they use to be. This is a quick, easy and affordable remedy for your nails that will come in handy just when you need it.

Relaxing music really works, I listen to it every night and it really helps me relax.

Beauty Tip # 2 Vaseline is Your Best Friend

Ladies have you ever had eye makeup remover that just would not get the job done, or instead of remover you used a paper towel and water?Did you know with a little bit of Vaseline all of your eye makeup can be removed within seconds. I didn't believe it until I tried it and it works GREAT trust me. Vaseline only cost $1 in many stores so no stress of the wallet once again.

Vaseline is a great, cheap eye makeup remover.



 Vaseline and Petroleum Jelly is the same thing so either one you use will work the same way to remove eye makeup.

Apply Vaseline to each eye lid, it doesn't have to be much just enough to go over the makeup.


 After you have applied the Vaseline take a cotton ball or a piece of tissue and gently wipe off the makeup.


After you have applied Vaseline to both eyes and wipe off the eye make up your eye lids will be clear of any eye makeup.

Beauty Tip # 1: Remove Nail Polish Without Remover!

I have a quick and easy solution for you that will get the job done in no time,this is where that clear nail polish of yours is gonna come in handy,and guess what you don't have to even think about opening up your wallet . 



You can only use this trick if your nails are cracked or chipped, not fully covered in paint.



All you need is a couple of cotton balls and clear nail polish to do the job, the brand of the nail polish does not matter.



Apply a clear top coat to the nail, it usually takes about two coats when applying to nail for it to work correctly.



Once the clear top coat has been applied to the nail, take the cotton ball and rub off the clear coat. This is a very easy process and does not take a long time depending on how much nail polish is on your nails. So when you don't have time to run to the store to buy remover try this little trick and your cracked or chipped nail polish will be gone.
