And no, it's not "get a gel manicure."
Is there anything that makes you looks more put-together and polished (awful pun intended) than a good manicure or pedicure? It's like the ultimate finishing touch on a makeup look or outfit.
The problem with beautifully painted nails, though, is that they can be work. The main issue isn't necessarily in the painting itself — although that can be pretty time-consuming and annoying, depending on the nail polish and your patience level — but in the way nail polish just doesn't seem to last. Like, going to all the effort of painting your nails (or having them painted) only to have them chip and look kinda gross in two days? Not cool.
The best thing about beauty problems, though, is that they're pretty much always solvable, and this isn't the exception. When I actually do my manicure right, it takes a really long time before it starts chipping.
