Great results with a learning curve
"Prep! Prep! Prep! You really have to commit the time to preparing your nails and cuticles. My first two DIY gel manicures didn’t go so well. One peeled off in the first two days and the other it hadn’t prepared my cuticles enough and the edges of the gel pulled up. I watched the tutorial videos and honed my skills and now I get a gel manicure at home that lasts and looks fantastic! I’ve used the gel polish and builder polish. The builder is harder to apply but really adds rigidity to my nails without making them thick like acrylic dips can. Very happy with my DiY manicures and not going to a salon. And: I still haven’t figured out gel pedicures"
