Everywhere I look I see nail art! My friends post the latest mani-art from their trips to the nail salon on facebook, celebs post theirs in magazines, companies are mass producing and marketing expensive "nail art polishes" with small brushes that are supposed to be easier to make designs with, or "nail art pens" that you can draw decorations with. The polishes are going for $8 - $14+ a piece and the pens the same, and the ones I tried were low quality polishes and the pens dried out very quickly!
My cheap solution (shown in video above): buy pure ICE nail polish for about $1 from wal-mart (shown in various pictures in this post), it works great and they have a ton of colors and finishes. Then take the brush out and cut half of the bristles off so you have a thin brush that is perfect for small detailed nail art and design! With the colors I really like I will buy 2, and cut the brush of one of them. Then I mark the lid of the one I cut with a permanent marker so I know it is for nail art. Another easy solution is to buy a nail art paint brush kit and acetone. The brush kits I've seen at BornPrettyStore run about $2 - $4 and you're getting 3 - 15 brushes of various sizes and shapes, plus you can use my special promo code MK5W21 before Dec. 30, 2012 for 5% off! But if you'd rather not buy them online, I'm sure you can also find them at Target, Wal-Mart, or CVS.
Hope this helps you save some money and keep up with the ever evolving fashion and nail trends! My daughter and I like to do our nails every few nights, it's a nice way to wind down after a long day at the pool! Plus it's fun, relaxing, and you get to be creative! Oh and did I mention it doesn't cost a fortune!!! And as a single mom, that always makes me HAPPY! :) Plus, there is no better mommy - daughter activity than mani pedis... Right? ;)
Let me know how it works out for you or if you have any other tricks to beat the trends! Enjoy!
