I am alive!!!! (In case anyone was concerned) I know I have been epically MIA for the past couple of months but I have been itching to post a blog and I now have the perfect topic!
I received a gel manicure a couple of weeks ago from my local nail salon and I walked out looking too legit with these bad boys:
If you can't tell, I absolutely love Valentine's Day!
My manicurist used the CND Shellac base coat and layered coats of hot pink and white gelish gel polish on top. The topcoat was also the gelish brand. It's hard to tell, but the white nail on my middle finger has a gorgeous finely milled blue/pink glitter gelish polish. The heart on my pointer finger has silver glitter of REGULAR polish! How cool is that? It dried just fine on top of my dry gel manicure and lasted the entire time! Very cool to know for the future.
Anyways, here's a one week update:
No chips!!! Just my nails growing out.
And here's a two week update:
Yet again- not a single chip!!! Just my nails growing cray cray fast.
Overall I absolutely loved this manicure and ended up with compliments out the wazoo from it! It was so beautifully shiny and the glitter was so sparkly. I must say this could definitely be a DIY design, no manicurist required!
My only downside with gel manicures is the removal. It's absolutely no fun soaking your fingers in acetone for 15 minutes and no good for the health of your nails either.
I hope y'all liked this post and you learned something from it!
And just so you can see what I'm rocking right now:
Nothing like some baby pink to finish out February!
