Nails. Nails. Nails… The French manicure is back, and the longer, the better. Sure, you can head to the salon and spend $$$ and a ton of time, or you can get your claws on from home in your jammies with our DIY nail pics. Today, on Daytime Chicago, we show you our favorite mani products.
Nails are only as pretty as the hands they are attached to, so I tried to find the best way to get all the dead skin off to reveal a smooth surface pre-manicure. Two minutes fast enough? It literally works on your cuticles too. Use the scrub before the nail prep of pushing back cuticles, etc.
