to place on your blog’s homepage or within the challenge post. Then link your challenge post in the comments below and we will check it out! For the month of February 2013, the topic is PRODUCT OF THE MONTH. One of the beauty tips and tricks I know ladies wonder about is how to grow long nails, fast.

Awhile back, I discovered this product through a beauty vlogger named Andrea during one of her nail tutorials. Finally, in January, I purchased it and I’ve been using it for the past 2-3 weeks and I am a believer! It is the Salon Sciences Instant Artificials base coat nail polish.

The way you use it is to paint two coats on like a regular base coat. The polish comes off easily with regular nail polish remover and smells just like a regular nail polish, too.

Some beauty tips and tricks for longer nails
