Okay girls! We pay so much $$$ on our manicures to only last us, what? a few weeks? & even more money on maintaining your mani by getting fills, a whole new set, etc. Well, NOT ANYMORE! keep your money & try this out!

Instead of going through the pain of taking them off, why not file the base down thin enough to blend in with your natural nail, give them a nice paint-job, & all in the comfort of your own home?!
It's worth a shot & a HUGE money saver.

You Will Need (4 things)

  • 1 Nail Buffer
  • Nail Polish
  • 10 Acrylic Nail(s)
  • 1 Nail File

Steps (3 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    Let your nails grow out; leaving the acrylics on. Give them a few weeks until you can't stand to bare with the tackiness of your nail showing.

    Mine are just above my rising sun, where the shine stops.

  2. 2

    Take nail file & start filing down where the nail & acrylic meet. Press firmly & file away! Rub with your nail to determine how much filing it needs. Once you feel it's all even, take nail buffer & buffer where you filed.

    Your nail should now feel even, look dull & no longer shiney.

    *** you do not have to file entire nail, just where you're evening them out! & be sure to file the sides!

  3. 3

    Next, just take your choice of polish & paint them babies up! Voila, a whole new mani!

    When you want to change colors, just simply remove polish with polish remover & apply your next color!

    Now, take all the money you saved that you would spend on a whole new mani & go shopping to match your new nails!<3 ENJOY! :)
