    So how did my nails look after Michelle had finished with them : 
    10/05 : - look at that fantastic gloss ... love it.


    15/05 : - This was 5 days later, as you can see my nail has broken off like I explained in my last post and after this I started to wash my paint brushes and the white spirit seemed to peel the nails :-( 

    But I was still quite surprised 5 days later not a chip. I honestly wished that I could of maintained it through all my hussle and bussle of the next week too. Even though I would honestly of seen this manicure lasting. 

    I mean my nails chip after one of my sauna baths or hair washing and I had not one incident but the white spirit ... !!

    My experience was relaxing, considering this is the first time having a manicure on my natural nails as I use to a fair few years ago use to get acrylics. It's quite nice to treat those hands that we great and use each and everyday.  

    Yet for the next 6-8 weeks I'm back on a prescriptive nail treatment. 

    Then hopefully me and Jessica can get acquainted again once that ring finger grows back :o) 

    Have you ever tried Jessica Nail Polish before ? 

    Peace & Love
