I have never been a big fan of getting my nails done. In fact, it’s probably the one area of beauty I would have gotten a bad grade in, in the past.  But, I have to say as of lately I’ve turned the switch. For me being over seven months prego, it’s one area that is helping me feel fabulous, when I’m not up to putting one hundred percent into my hair and makeup.

Still, getting my nails done is not something I get excited about, like a massage and so I don’t usually make an appointment I walk-in on my own terms. In most cases I get lucky and get in right away, but every now and then it’s good to have a back-up plan. Like New Years Eve I needed major help in the nail department and couldn’t get an appointment so, I whipped out a pack of stick-on “nail patches” from my favorite store Sephora.  It wasn’t perfect, but it covered my nails in a snap, and I didn’t have to wait for them to dry, they were shiny and lasted for days! I’m sure if I bought more “nail-patches” and practiced the application I could fool someone into thinking it was the perfect manicure.

If you need a pick me up, get your nails polished. Don’t have the time or patience? Fake it, patch them up!
