Review: Putting Your Best Nails Forward



If you look at any "What to Do When You Get Engaged" list, often one of the first steps, if not the first is to get your nails done, as throngs of people, including friends, family, coworkers, and even strangers will ask to see your ring and suddenly you will find your nails on display as well.

I like manicures as much as the next girl, but even $15-$20 can go a long way for me, especially since I can do my own nails and have an arsenal of nail polish in my bathroom to make sure I have a color for every occasion. 

I didn't always paint my nails frequently, but when one of my friends who follows many a beauty blog finally convinced me to start using a base coat and top coat I found myself performing home manicures more often.

Doing your own nails, whether it's to show off your new ring, or even for your wedding day is an easy way to save money. Almost all of the nail polishes above are under $5. They provide great color and long-lasting wear if you apply them with a base coat and top coat. I cannot speak highly enough of Seche Vite's Dry Fast Top Nail Coat. It gives my nails the appearance of using gels or shellac, without having to pay $40 for the procedure, the time in the nail salon, the hassle after when you need to remove the polish, or the damage it can do on your nails. It is also truly a fast drying polish. I doesn't leave nails tacky, but immediately provides a high-luster shine.

Have fun painting your nails and showing off your new engagement or wedding ring!
