A no chip manicure is always up my alley.  If you’re anything like me, cooking, cleaning, and chasing after your children you can feel me.  And if you are a working girl and don’t have  time for chipped nails, this is for you too.  Normally, I don’t even bother to get an actual color on my nails, it’s always “clear please”.  And, yes it chips within a couple of days.  No more of that.  A new trend in nails is the gel manicure. It looks like a regular manicure but trust, it lasts a couple of weeks and requires no dry time.  I like this.  You mean I can fly out the salon right afterwards? Beautiful.  The only caveat is that you can only get this in NY, CA, and NC at Dashing Divas (www.dashingdiva.com) and only in a few colors at the moment.  OPI also offers Axxium nail polish.  The process involves a UV light so it’s not exactly a thing you can do at home just yet.  Another slight caveat is that the price point is around $40.  I think you will actual break even if you get a weekly manicure.  You can make it happen if you’re in any of the cities above or I would check around to see if your nearest salons carry the OPI polish.  Enjoy!!!
