I had my nails done last week. (Not unheard of.)
I did them myself. (Are you wondering where this is going?)
I attempted fake ones! (Ummm???)
And I got them at Walgreens!
Yes, I'm totally serious :) I bite my nails and they are hideous! I don't know if y'all know this or not, but I'm turning thirty in about 2 months and I have the nails of a 17 year old. One with an issue, no less! I've tried fake nails before but I just can't justify paying $40+ for something that I just have to get re-done in 2 weeks anymore. Can't do it. But I've really been giving myself a complex about my nails...so what's a girl to do?
Well, I caved. I felt like those little plastic boxes of nails had been calling to me the past few times I'd been to Walgreens. They were taunting me, telling me to forget previous failed attempts with them. **Granted, I was 10 the last time I tried them.* Surely fake nail distributors have come up with a better design since then! I mean, it's been 20 years, right?! And they're so cheap. $5 compared to $40! See my dilemma?! Please say you see where I'm coming from here :)
So I did it. I bought them. And I expertly put them on once I put Elli to bed a few nights ago, while completely ignoring the eye-rolls from Chris. Does he know how much money I'm saving him??!! And you know what? They looked good. Really good. No, I'm serious. I even got a compliment on them the next day when I was signing a receipt....right before my pinky nail popped off.
I can't make this stuff up!
So, if you need your nails to look really good for 1 night, I'd highly recommend heading on up to your local Walgreens. But, if you want quality or durability, I'd have to advise you to keep walking right on past the nail aisle. Of course, I'm pretty sure that most of you would have done that anyway :)

You are too funny! I have a nail issue too...not as bad as you but I don't have pretty nails either. I attempted to try for awhile but then I just gave up! So kudos to you for trying!
Your so funny....Don't worry, I still bite my nails also, but I do pay the money to get mine done, that's my "fun" money for myself and the time I get them done is my alone time, so it's two fold. I did have to laugh when I read this though.
I applaud you for trying!! I never get my fingernails done since I'm always throwing cases and they get screwed up too easily, but I am all about pedicures! I just can't do it the same as the nail ladies, so I suck it up and pay my $40. I love having them done but I sure hate spending the money....
