I didn't do a nail of the week at the beginning of this week because I had a simple gel french manicure. Gel manicures have a special polish that is set with UV lights and typically last about 2 weeks without chipping. I hardly get a full two weeks, but when I wear gloves to wash dishes and take extra care then I can get almost 3 weeks. With that being said, I decided that since Christmas dinner was hosted at our house I would need a manicure that would last through the excessive dish and hand washing. Since gel manicures typically last for two weeks, I got the french manicure because it would transition from Christmas to New Years with ease. Well that's the update, but more nail color are to come.
