By Annie HeilFrom the soothing pedicure massage chairs to the perfectly painted tips you walk out with, it is no secret getting you nails done is a treat. What’s not a treat, however, is how dang expensive it can get to regularly go get your nails done. Sure, nail services are the perfect way to pamper yourself, but there’s definitely nothing more frustrating then paying $15 for a manicure only to have it chip two days later. Nail junkies, I know you can relate and this is exactly why gel manicures have become the norm. They can last up to three weeks without any chipping and the best part is you don’t have to wait for your nails to dry before leaving the salon. After your nails sit under the UV or LED lamp the nail techs take a cotton ball saturated with solution and wipe all of your nails clean. No matter how many times I get my nails done I am still terrified one day all of the polish will come off when they rub them. Now to be completely honest I was not a big advocate of gel manicures when I first got one. It sounds shocking, I know, because I totally geared you up for this post to be all about how much I love them but it wasn’t until I stumbled upon “mood” colors that I actually started getting them regularly. Do you remember the movie Aquamarine? Where Aqua’s “fingerscales” would change color with her mood? That is exactly what color changing “mood” nail polish does! “In the mood” nail polish changes color depending on your body temperature and chemistry. An adjustment in body temperature such as running your hands under warm water, going outside in the freezing cold or even mood swings will cause the color to change. This means your fingers will be one color when your body is hot and a completely different color when you’re cold! (“Warm” nail color) (“Cold” nail color)
The colors continue to alternate back and forth as your body temperature changes and I can honestly say it is the most entertaining manicure I have ever had. Every time I look down at my fingers, they are a different color! If you’re someone who always has a hard time picking out a color and then gets sick of it after five days (me) then this nail polish is DEFINETLY for you. So go ahead, unleash your inner Aquamarine and try “mood” nail polish next time you go get your nails done. I promise you wont regret it! Xo, Annie
