You all know I LOVE to paint my own nails at home. It’s therapeutic to me, saves money, and also allows me to switch up my mani in a pinch. I’ve been a die hard at home manicurist for years now and won’t ever be going back to a salon. Well unless I want some fun nail art, but I’m determined to learn that on my own.

I personally rarely ever use a base coat, so go straight to 2 coats of your favorite Essie TLC color. The colors I am LOVING right now are Daytime Dreamer (featured above),
