In many cases, ladies have walked passed their nail salons longingly looking through the windows into a dark store where once magic happened to your hands and feet - the place where you would once step into in need of pampering and step feeling like queen with glistening perfectly manicured nails. 

Now you look down at your nails and the most you've been able to do is your best DIY version of a mani and with a simple lick of paint. 

It doesn't have to be so bad. It certainly doesn't have to be so boring.
