Study Break

As I am "studying" for my exams I find lots of fun things to throw in as study breaks.  Like going to stumbleupon.com and flipping through magazines.  After being told recently that I could really use a manicure I took the time to examine my poor hands.  These little babes ferociously type out paper after paper, get abused by my refusal to use tongs when handling my prints in the chemicals in the dark room, get sliced at work when I am being careless, and have allergic reactions to copper in my metals class.  Needless to say, my hands go through a lot on a daily basis and I rarely take the time to pamper them the way they deserve.  I think one of the reasons is because when it comes to doing my nails I am either too impatient and end up messing up my hard work 10 seconds after I paint them  or I find it is pointless to spend all that time on something that will chip off during the next project I encounter.

Well my view has changed with the help of one little glorious product:

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear, one little swipe of this magical stuff and my nail polish seems to last. I of course need to touch up every now and then, but I no longer stress about ruining my polish before it has dried.  This stuff dries in a matter of seconds and adds a nice shine to the color of my choice.  So during this chilly finals week I would suggest a deep, warm brown to keep your blood flowing.  It took me awhile to find the color I wanted, many browns were too red or purple, but this is the perfect hot-chocolatey color I imagined on my little nails.

So when you are in need of a study break, give yourself 10-15 minutes to pamper your poor nails that go through so much for you each and everyday. Top it all off with a little lotion to keep hangnails to a minimum and knuckles from cracking and you will feel like a new person ready to conquer any test/paper/project in your way of break.

Good luck on your finals, I'll be crossing my fingers for you.

Peace,

Kelci
