New for Nails!

How your nails look can be very important to your business success. If you work with people, they will at some point notice your nails. Some companies have policies regarding length of nails, types of acceptable “toppings” and such, if they strive to present a specific corporate image.

In my daily work, I do meet with customers/guests and coworkers all day. I don’t want to draw attention to my hands, and yet want to put forth an elegant hand with manicured nails, and neutral polish. I’ve had acrylics (so 90’s!) and, more recently, shellacs. I have very dry nail tips that often split and peel. The Shellacs were lovely, yet I found they began to chip by the end of the first week!

For the time spent getting the shellacs applied and requiring a return visit to have them professionally removed, they weren’t meeting my need of a longer lasting polished look for the extra $$ and time. So, while at my local Target, I browsed the nail polish aisle and saw that Sally Hansen had released a new line of Sally Hansen Salon Manicure polishes.

From the website: “Skip the salon, get the results. Don’t settle for just color when you can get a base coat, strengthener, growth treatment, salon-inspired color, top coat, chip-resistance and a gel finish all in 1 bottle. Featuring the unique precision brush for a flawless finish and patented Vita Care technology for advanced 10 day wear, more shine and nourishing care.”

The comments are mixed, but as my manicurist told me:

“Who cares what brand you use, your nails are unique and wear what works best for your nails!”

Marketed as an all-in-one polish, old habits die hard, I purchased a clear called “Clear’d for Takeoff” and a neutral “Shall We Dance?” and was very delighted with the longer wear, no chip, and easy application of these new polishes. The most recent application lasted 6 days before it showed a bit of wearing thin and a chip or two on my tips. Not bad! Not bad at all!!

When you are busy all week, you really don’t want to have to worry about personal upkeep, know you are not alone. I just had to share my new find with you!
