First Gel Nails

This was my first try at Gel mani. I got it as a Christmas present. So this will also be my review of Gel polish.

~When I first did this it took me forever. I was just learning. Now when I do them it takes maybe 10mins or less depending on if I do designs or not.
~ I love the fact that when you do these they are dry and you are ready to go.
~ But when you do them make sure you have nothing to do and have plenty of free time, cause if you pick things up while doing them, air or fuzz sticks very easily to them till youre finished and you can not get the fuzz off, leaving your nails a little rough feeling when theyre done.

~ It takes 30secs for the base coat
~ 60secs for the color to cure
~ And 30secs again for the top coat.
~ Once you are doe you take this solution to clean them and get the stickiness off so no fuzz sticks them.

~ You do need to be careful not to get any on your skin around your nails, when the polish is cured and hardens and will take a while to fade off.

~ The directions and other reviews I have read about Gel mani have said it will last 2weeks. I have
found that mine lasted a lot longer.

~ I have read some things saying this is unhealthy for you and will cause damage to your cuticles. The only damage is if you don't know what youre doing when go to do it and take the polish off. If it was that harmful to your health it would have been taken off the market already.
~ I love this polish! Its easy, quick, fun, and long lasting!

 

 

~ The pictures I am posting lasted for 3 maybe 3 and half weeks. I posted the end result of them before I took them off to show how well they still looked. My thumb did start to peel off, and you can see how far my nails had grown at the cuticles where there is no polish.
