Gel nail polish at home




Do you like to be pampered at nail spa's?  I love having my nails done. It's a great feeling walking out of the spa with bright shinny nails. 

It can get very expensive to have gel polish done at a spa and then having to go back and pay to get it off.  But why pay when you can do it at home for a fraction.  Are you wondering how?  Well I'm going to tell you.....


Things you need:

  1. A UV light
  2. Nail chippers & file
  3. gel polish (I prefer CND brand)
  4. Base coat (CND)
  5. Top coat (CND)
  6. isopropyl alcohol (I use 75%)
  7. cotton ball

Directions:


  1. First you will want to trim and shape your nails.
  2. wash and dry hands, to remove any debris.
  3. Apply a thin layer of the base coat to each nail on one hand first
  4. Place hand under UV light for about 3min
  5. Apply a thin layer of gel polish (your choice of color) to each nail on one hand first
  6. Place hand under UV light for about 3min
  7. Apply a thin layer of top coat to each nail on one hand first
  8. Place under UV light for about 3min
  9. Take a cotton ball and soak it with isopropyl alcohol and rub each nail until it's not sticky
  10. Repeat steps for next hand

Gel polish lasts about 3 weeks and doesn't crack or chip.  It is great for those ladies that use their hands a lot and find that regular nail polish just chips so fast.
