Yay for manicures!

  During winter my hands always get sooo dry! I end up with hangnails and, if you've ever had one, you know how much those suck! However, I do not have money to buy fancy nail soaking stuff. Well the other day I decided to paint my nails and thought, "Why not look for a homemade nail soak and turn this into a manicure instead of just a nail paint?" So I looked online and found several recipes. I wanted to use what I already had, so I had to be creative and make up my own, based on recipes already out there. First I cut and shaped my nails. You want to make sure to file on dry nails, if you wait until after they've soaked they will tear and weaken. Then, I removed my old polish and I washed my hands with a hand scrub from Mary Kay. (I was a Mary Kay person for like 5 minutes and now I have a bunch of random Mary Kay product in a box under my bed.)
