Great Escape: Quit Getting Nailed Down

You sit down at the computer to write an e-mail and glance down at your chipped nail polish. Although it was beautiful four days ago when you thought you couldn’t live without “Wicked” on your nails, now it’s not so hot. 

While your children are out at baseball practice, violin lessons or helping at the library, take a moment to yourself for a great escape. 

You think, “When do I have time for a manicure?” You try to find a half hour to sit and get your nails done, but then you have to let them dry for 20 minutes while you have 50 things going through your mind that you need to absolutely get done that minute. It’s torture. 

Try newest trend on the nail scene is the gel manicure at on Townline Road. For $35, the gel manicure can last for up to three weeks. 

The gel manicure starts out like a normal manicure complete with filing of the nails and taking care of those cuticles. A base coat is applied before you pick a gel color, followed by a top coat to seal it in. Put your hands under a ultraviolet light for three minutes on each hand and you are good to go.
