I didn't want to waste the cost of a manicure on a trend that I wasn't so sure I was ready to embrace...so first thing's first-conquer the DIY manicure. My friend Lauren is great at doing her own nails and gave me a few pointers. The biggest tip she gave was to lie in bed and let your nails dry as you fall asleep at night. It has taken some practice but I seem to be making progress and saving some $$. Here is my first attempt at the neon mani:
Next up, I'm going to try the new trend of painting your ring finger different than the rest of your nails, otherwise known as the mix mani. I have reservations about this but color blocking is in so it might be worth the try. Would you rock this trend?
