While a chip-proof manicure is one of our favorite things, there’s no denying that frequent trips to the salon tend to add up. *Sigh*
And especially because we’re not able to go to nail salons as often as we used to, why not try your hand at creating your own DIY nail looks at home? While some nail polish and a file can definitely go a long way, there are plenty of mani-boosting products, like a primer and cuticle oil (plus, so many online tutorials), that will help you create your own Instagrammable nail looks at home.
