Happy Valentine's Day! Today, I'm sharing a review of the SNS nail manicure. I've been hearing a lot about it and since I had a gift certificate to a nail salon that does SNS nails, I decided to give it a try! I knew that it involved dipping your nails into powder but other than that I wasn't sure what else to expect. The process was fairly easy and quick not to mention it is suppose to be better for your nails because it doesn't involve any chemicals/UV light. After the nail technician did the first part of the manicure, she applied a clear gel coating and dipped my nails into a white base powder. Next, she applied the gel coating again and dipped my nails into the colored powder. This step was repeated again with the color powder. After this, she applied another coat of the clear gel and dipped my nails into a finishing powder. Once this dried, she went over my nails with a buffer and applied 2 coats of a clear top coat gel. I held my nails in front a fan for a few minutes and then she applied an oil solution on my finger nails and had me wash my hands. I was really impressed with the final outcome! It is supposed to last about 14 days. I will say that the price point is a little higher than a regular manicure or a gel manicure that requires a UV light, however I think the quality is so much better! Since this is a fairly new technique in some salons, the color options can be limited. Fortunately, the salon I went to had at least 20 color options. The color I chose was called Pink Flamingo (I think it is the #8). It is a very pretty pink color with a subtle glitter to it. You can learn more about SNS nails here.

Beach Essentials

Can you tell I'm ready to go to the beach? The countdown is on till I'm beach bound and these are just a few essential items that I'll be packing!

Sunscreen ~ I have used the Victoria's Secret suntan lotion SPF 24 and after sun lotion for the past couple of years and I love it but unfortunately I don't see it on their website this year (have not checked the store). The lotion is thick and offers really good coverage! However, I did find this one on their website but have not tried it out myself. I have heard really great things about the Sun Bum line of products (links in widget below). These can be found at your local Target or Ulta as well! Don't forget to protect your lips too when you're out in the sun!

Cute Beach Towel ~ Straw Tote (budget friendly) ~ Flip Flops ~ Camera ~ Tumbler

I'm currently craving this camera! Probably won't be able to get in time for my beach trip but I'll definitely will be taking this camera to capture some great memories from my family trip!
