Mani Monday

Gel manicures look great but they can be damaging to the nails so lately I've been wearing the perfect non-gel white shade that is chip-free for 7- 10 days! The two step system is so easy and will leave your nails looking pretty with a gel-like finish.

BUY NOW: Essie Gel Couture Collection, Pre Show Jitters and Essie Top Coat

One of my favorite shades from the Essie Gel Couture collection is Pre Show Jitters. It is the perfect shade of neutral-white for summer The special Essie Top Coat seals in the lacquer and gives nails that same amazing shine you get from a gel mani.

I always like to keep several colors of this specific essie polish on hand at home and bring it with me to my fave manicurist when heading for a mani pedi. This is really the perfect shade of white and I always get so many compliments when wearing it--hope you try and love it as much as I do!
