New mani! Color street Stars for the Course overlay on top of Forth Worth it (silver holo) and Prague for the course (light pinkish purple). The holo is sooo pretty, the pic does not do it justice

beersandweirs you know the rules ... gotta post the brand and colour 😂 (Feel free to ignore me if they weren’t done at home) They're all beetles brand gel polish. The bright pink is #279, the light pink (which I feel like is photographing nude) is a387 and the glittery pink dots are #846.

Oh gel polish, damn. I’m too scared to try that 😂 I was really scared at first too. And it is a little bit of an up front cost investment (but less than I thought.) And it does take a little longer with having to dry each coat under the lamp. BUT. I really don’t think it is complicated. And it is more forgiving in that you can fix stuff before you cure it and it’ll be perfect. And it just last so much longer. And dries so perfectly. And doesn’t chip. I’m all in man.

I'll sing its praises too. I use the Beatles stuff too, super easy although, ima post a pic here in a minute, but my color tonight got like, wishy washy? But the second coat stuck better. It was weird. But it just laaasts. It's so nice because I generally can't spend the $$$ on regular manicures so to be able to do it at home and have it NOT look like shit after a few days, 👍👍👍

So I did base, cure, one coat of white, cure, then the first coat of color did this. What am I doing wrong?? I did a this second and third coat and those seemed to "stick" ok, but I had to like, keep going over them a bunch.

Here's the finished product. I'm way disappointed in the color. Like, it's fine. But it was in my neon kit! I was thinking it would be much, much brighter.

I never go to the salon ... I hate manis/pedis. So I just paint my own nails with regular polish. But I will say the gel polish looks really really good! Maybe one day I’ll take the dive. Is it hard to get off? Does it destroy your nails??

Is it hard to get off? Does it destroy your nails?? No! That was why I made the new thread 😂 cuz I couldn't get mine off and it killed my skin. I bought this stuff. I've used it twice and it's magical. www.amazon.com/dp/B08DCJNDTQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_MsMaGb5KBY47K?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Dramaphile, I love stars! That is one of my favorite nail art designs. Every time I try with stamping (and I may have bought quite a few stamping plates with stars in hopes of finding the "right" one) it just never goes quite right. I hope as I get better with stamping I will be able to do a nice star design like that!

thechickencoop I wonder if doing it over white lightened it? I dunno. So strange. I would try again not over white. And maybe again over black. Just experiment ya know?

thechickencoop which color neon is that? I wonder if it's the same set my neon pink came from.

I need to look into gel. I’ve avoided because the one time I had one (for my wedding) my nails were so damaged until they grew out. But that’s been a long time now and I’m sure things have changed.
