Spring Nail Inspiration: French Dip Manicure

Do you get your nails done on a regular basis? I used to get mine done every now and then, and my nails refused to grow. About six months ago, I decided to add manis and pedis to my beauty routine and get them done every few weeks, and have seen a major difference!

I started with a gel manicure, and loved it. It kept my nails looking nice consistently. The only challenge I had was it didn’t last as long as I liked. Only lasted about a couple of weeks before the polish would chip or my nails started growing out. I prefer a French manicure so it’s not as noticeable when my nails grow out, but I do like to try different colors every now and then.

Then, my sister told me about dip powder, and I fell in love! It’s the best thing that has happened to my nails, seriously. Dip lasts so much longer, like almost a month! My nails grow even faster and stronger, and I really like how it looks.

Pros and Cons of Dip Powder Manicure

If you’re considering a dip manicure, here are a few details to consider:

Dip doesn’t chip. Ha! I’ve never had an issue with the polish chipping, so my manicure looks fresh much longer than gel or any other polish.

It lasts longer than any other manicure I’ve ever had. Even with a top coat, my regular manicure would last a week at best. Gel is the next best thing, in my opinion, and would last about two weeks. Dip lasts at least 3 weeks to a month.

Dip gives you a similar look to acrylic nails without having to get tips. I thought you had to have acrylic nails to get a dip manicure, and I was wrong! I get dip on my own nails, and it gives a similar look without having to get acrylic nails glued on my nails.

Dip is more expensive than a regular manicure. You’re going to spend about $50 for a dip manicure, especially if you get French. But it’s worth it, because it lasts longer.

Do you have any questions about dip? Let me know in the comments!

These two little people have given me such a different perspective of life and motivation to be a better me.
Thankful for all I’ve learned these past 10+ years of motherhood and am still learning. They give me so much joy and challenge my capacity for patience all at the same time 😂
Thinking of all the mamas this weekend and all that we sacrifice for our families. Also thinking of the moms who are mourning a child and those who are still hoping for their season of mommyhood.
I hope you celebrate yourself this weekend, and give yourself grace. Get as much rest as you can!

Blazer outfit inspo for curvy girls ✨ I’ve be Blazer outfit inspo for curvy girls ✨
I’ve been on the hunt for new blazers for spring and summer that fit well for plus size women. There are some great options out there! I’m wearing an hm blazer that can be pretty much worn yearround but I’m looking for a white linen blazer and a pastel color blazer that I can wear for the warmer months.
The boxy oversized blazer can be tricky since I’m top heavy, so I’m looking for a good balance. But this one is good with workwear like a simple dress or jeans and a button down.
Are you a blazer kinda gal? If so, how do style them?
P.S. I’ve linked a few blazers in my cart in my link in bio or in the shop.ltk app!

The kids will both soon be going to a STEM school, and Solomon’s favorite subject is math. We’ll see what Olivia’s fave subject is, but she loves playing doctor. Maybe science?
They have quite a few STEM toys and games, so we were excited to get some board games from simplyfun. Each game focuses on developing those skills and making it fun!
Are your kiddos into STEM-centered games? If so, what are their faves? We’re always looking for new ones!
