Question
Hello, I really lik the salon nails but I cannot keep up with the cost of maintaining them. Can I get them done at a salon and when the time comes maintain them myself at home? I understand they might not look as good but decent is fine with me. And I don't want just a french mani but funky colors.
hi ann
it is alway better to have your nails done professionally but yes this is expensive, i would suggest just manicures at home and paint them in funky colours yourself, i would not advise nail extensions at home as you may damage your nail plate.

ps another option is go to the local college beauty department they are always looking for clients and it is much more affordable.
