My Go-To Nail Polish!

Just like your teeth, your nails are one of the first things that are noticed when meeting new people, and believe it or not, they reveal a lot about your personality. Nails with polish that's smudged or chipped can be a real turn off. Whether meeting a blind date, or interviewing for your dream job, don't let your nails determine the outcome!
Sure, it would be amazing to have on-call mani-pedis, but in my world, time is very limited, and I have zero patience to sit in a chair while having my nails brushed, scrubbed and polished. If you're like me, a DIY at home mani-pedi might be just what you're looking for.
After spending a small fortune and trying a whirlwind of nail polish brands, my current go-to polish is Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure. It promises that the chip-resistant, salon-inspired color lasts up to 10 days and contains a growth treatment, base coat, strengthener, and top coat all in one. With more than 50 colors and a price below $8, there's no way you cannot find one you love. Two coats of this little treasure actually outlasted my 7-day Mexican Riviera Cruise which is close to a miracle, since I was prancing around on the beach, sweating in the gym, wading in the pool and splurging on all kinds of finger foods! Go Sally!
