Nailing a Great Bargain!

Anyone who's ever read my blog posts knows I have a thing for "natural" manicures. I can't wear polish on my nails because it aggravates my skin. Additionally, as a guitar player, it makes no sense to paint them. The nails on my left hand need to be kept really short. Picking with my right leads to chipped polish. This means I put a lot of effort into nail care that will make my naked digits look well cared for without being truly "manicured."

Lately I've been using the best and cheapest nail buffer I've found and thought I'd share it here. Big Lots has them for a buck -- and I am seriously thinking of heading back there to pick up another dozen.

My suggestion is this: get yourself to Big Lots (or Dollar Tree) and see if you can find Sally Hansen La Cross diamond nail buffing blocks. There are two surfaces, one for buffing and one for shine (two of each). Toss one in your purse. Keep one in the car. Put one on your nightstand. Stash one in your desk. Carry one in your gym bag. At a buck a piece (probably more at other stores), these are worth stock-piling. I have searched on-line and not seen them carried by any of the usual HBA e-tailers. This leads me to believe they might be of a promotional or seasonal nature.

This small implement will give your nails a great shine -- which lasts. They are a bargain worth hunting for!
