I'll be the first to put my hand up and confess to being a bit of a pushover when it comes to the persuasive powers of advertising.

Nails Inc. 3-week manicure
Since finally growing my nails and giving up the biting habit this year, I've become quite partial to a manicure or two to keep my nails looking pretty.
