I would like to comment on my latest favorite beauty regime.  A few months ago, Karen @ Foxy Nails suggested I try the gel manicure.  It lasts for 3 to 4 wks and I LOVE it!  I've been getting the French gel mani.  I could never have a traditional mani look this good for 3 or 4 wks AND it's your own nails.  I've gotten so many compliments.  The only problem....now I'm hooked on getting manicures!
