robot Those polishes are so pretty! What brands are they? I love that one on the top. Thanks! They’re actually all Sally Hansen miracle gel polishes. It’s the polish and then there’s a specific topcoat that goes with it, no UV light. It’s the only thing that last more than a couple days for me right now with covid/newly potty trained 2 year old constant hand sanitizing and washing. I can get 5 days from these so I’ve been doing them a lot. That top one is Hollla-gram. images.app.goo.gl/wSVKiei25iP8GVHN7

I never paint my nails because I hate chips and know I won't keep up on them. Does dip last longer? Thank you! Dip powder lasts much longer than regular polish. It’s essentially a powdered acrylic you apply to your nails, and it typically lasts me 2-3 weeks, although it’s not uncommon to get longer wear. The application process isn’t bad once you get the hang of it. I will warn you that it weakens your natural nails. Mine are not in terrible shape, but they are weaker/thinner than before. I’m ok with that for now, and I expect it would take a few weeks of outgrowth before my nails get back to normal.

Orly - Roam With Me It is a little more purple than it shows in the picture. I love it, but I may add something since now is the time to go crazy when almost no one sees me. Attempting to spoiler on Tapa, since I am sure not everyone wants to see toes OPI - Nice Set of Pipes Maniology - Monarch Dream Lina - You're a Damask! 03

Cuz I gotta question. Those of you that remove gel at home. I have those little nail cover clips to hold polish remover in place but the acetone KILLED my fingertips. They're so so dry now. So what remover have you found that works but maybe isn't quite as harsh?? I use this and have no issues. www.amazon.com/dp/B07X6HVL5K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_iZlapKmCXrxF2So I ordered this. And I have a question. What is the consistency supposed to be? Mine is like a SUPER thick gel. Like, so thick that I can barely get any out with the brush. Seems like it would work better with like a scooper of some sort. Is this right?

I've been lurking this thread and thought I'd share a photo! I just painted my nails for the first time in over a year and my 4yo son wanted one hand done, too 😁

Hey gel users.... I’m trying to think back. I feel like my salon maybe uses two coats of top coat? Have you tried that? I may do 2 on one foot and 1 on the other and see what happens. This is my first time doing my own gel pedi. It was looooong overdue.

Super weird to paint on but really did the job. I like it. Muuuuuch better than the finger soaking.

This is my first time doing my own gel pedi. It was looooong overdue. I only use one coat of top coat with my gel polish, but I am by no means an expert (I only started using gel 3 weeks ago). I have not tried using gel for a pedi! I'm scared to. The nails are so small I have no idea how I'd do it without getting any polish on my skin!

I cannot reach nor see my toes well enough for this lol. So you live, you learn.
