Get a polish change If paying for a bi-weekly manicure isn't in your budget, why not indulge in a professional polish change instead? No matter how well you're able to paint your own nails, a pro can out do you -- there's just something about a professional job that looks, well, professional. And, at an average of $7-$10 it's not cost-prohibitive. Added bonus? It's a great way to try that latest color trend without laying out the cash for a whole bottle when odds are you're only going to wear it once anyway. Go on, get one. You know you want to.

I wonder if threading works. It seems interesting.

I liked the Aussie 3 minute miracle as a daily conditioner, but it wasn't conditioning enough for me to use it as a deep conditioner.

I hear threading hurts more than waxing but have been thinking of trying it. I do waxing every couple of weeks for my brows. I can deal with the waxing- it's tweezing that I hate.
