Prom Nails Done at Home

Prom can be so expensive! The dress, the shoes, the purse, the tickets, the pictures, the hair, the makeup, yikes! Then you tack on the price of a manicure/pedicure combination and you’ve got yourself a world class expense list. The bad news is that just about every girl going to prom is going to have their nails done, so your young one is sure to want them too. The good news? It can be done at home, for less!

Toes:

To get a pedicure at home, think first about who’s gonna be so close to your daughter’s feet that they’ll notice any small imperfection. No one, right? If that’s the case, try this: Using masking tape, tape up the end of your daughter’s natural toenail (after exfoliating, moisturizing and cleaning them, of course) so that the natural tip of the nail is showing. Use white nail polish to swipe on the tips, give it a minute, then pull it off quickly. Voila! Now run some clear top coat over the entire nail and you’ve got yourself a French pedicure. Try it in different colors for a unique look!

Fingers:

Fingernails can be faked just as easily as toenails can, but you definitely have to do this for her, she won’t be able to tape and paint with one hand! Alternatively, buy some at home fake fingernails and some industrial strength nail glue. Make sure you buy them in colors that the glue won’t show through on. Buff the nail surface lightly with an emery board before you apply the nail for maximum hold, and give them plenty of time to dry as you hold them firmly in place. This can be up to 50 dollars cheaper than a salon manicure!
