I cannot believe that it is almost 2012. Where has the time go? I have been in a major funk the last few months and these last two weeks I have been trying to turn it around and get "me" back again. Today I treated myself to a day at the spa for some pampering. I got a wonderful haircit that I love, a pedicure, and a new awesome manicure with something called SNS nails. SNS nails are a new type of nail that are neither acrylic or gel. They do not damage nail bed actually strengthen real nails by adding calcium and Vitamin E to them.
they are permanently shiny and are chip- proof. Because they are better for your nails and newer it does cost a litte bit more. It was the coolest manicure I have ever gotten. I was fascinated wi th each step of the process as it is different from a normal manicure or set of acrylic or gel nails. It is a powder that is put on your nail and forms the barrier. They prep your nails with clear polish and then dip your fingernail into a white powder that looks like body glimmer powder. Then they put another layer of clear polish and dip it again in the white powder. Clear nail polish again and then into the color of your choice powder. Clear nail polish again and a color dip. More clear nail polish. The nails are dry almost instaneously. Like within a minute if that. Then you wash your hands to get the powder off and a shine finishing polish is applied. Then off you go, no waiting under UV lights or a fan anymore. Too bad you cannot have SNS nails on your toes. But anyways, in all seriousness
I NEEDED this day at the spa. Armed with my new hairdo and my nails and feet done
I feel like an actual woman and not a frumpy mom. For the first time in I don't even know I walked by a mirror and thought "Damn, I look hot today!" So, hopefully in 2012 I will continue to gain more self-confidence and continue to better my appearance that I have been neglecting for so long.
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!!
