    Ok yall whining about the supplies and expenses: I spent about 100€ on the lamp, pads, cuticle pusher, files, base/top laquer, a few gel colours, brushes and even got some building liquid gel and nail extensions and if you follow the instructions she gave it will turn out great! And after a few weeks you have already "paid off" all that money you would spend in the salon and that stuff can last you YEARS! Definetly worth the investment!😉

    I love this short video that gives you all the steps you need to do to have a neat nails. You don't need all the brushes and stuff, I have an electric manicure rotating tools and I use fine sandpaper. I literally have sheets of different sand paper that does all the trick. Just pick the right sharpness, fold it and file.
    What I would like to know is how often can you take the gel polish off and use the LED/UV lamp, not to damage your skin and nails. Also, do you put any sunscreen product on your skin,
    I do, when exposing my hands for couple of times under the lamp. I clean the nails but I spray all of my hands. I had a bad experience after fist use of the lamp, as I work hard and hands always in water, my skin was later even more dry. But looks nice if I use UV protection

    I wish my nails didn't break so much so that I'd have naturally long nails like that

    As a dude that's literally about to go chainsaw things, it's interesting to see how much work some women put into looking awesome; this is excellent.
    This does not count for the ones that think that "not trying" is a "look."

    Why would I spend $50 at home when I can get them done at the Salon for $50 😂

      Because you can get over a dozen sets for that $50. It's an investment.

      Do you mean simply nailogical because didn't she use cuticle nippers on her boyfriend Ben once when they were in really bad shape. Seems to me she said they were all right to use as long as you are careful. I don't remember her ever saying never nip the cuticles. 🤔🤔🤔
