So I ordered like 4-6 sets of french manicure nails off ebay (slow boat from china). They will probably be a little flimsy like the last ones I wore, but they look decent for the cheap price they are ($1.50 shipped).
So though I do have lots of other nail sets still (red, deep wine, rainbow), I also have a bag of plain white nails I got a good price on as well. It was 600 nails for $2.68 shipped.

I'm guessing because I only use 5 of those sizes, assume that gets cut in half. Still, 30 sets of nails for that price? That means each nail set only costs 9 cents, or just under a penny per nail. Now obviously you wouldn't want to wear them like this, but polish is cheap (and I have some), and it's probably good practice I paint my own nails. Decided to put the thumb on tonight and try my luck. I tried to do my own french nail, but when you drag the brush along slowly you get a horrible surface finish because you're dragging paint that has started to dry. I decided to start over and simply put on about 3 coats of light pink polish over the whole nail, came out pretty decent with some shine
