So the trick to long lasting coat needs some 心机(scheming plans).
1) I was gg to attend 4 weddings in a mth so gel was the best option.
2) I chose blue turquoise to match one of my fren's wedding
3) note how the base is just glossed. So that when it grows out, u can barely see it! The main problem with gel is prob the outgrowth that's spoils the manicure right?
4) I topped with my coat of shimmers to let them blend more smoothly.
5) effort needed! Removed those normal polish shimmers when they start to come off n reapply. Looks like new again :)
6) can't really take too long nails, but I can buff off the top dark blue portion n it'll look like another design :) this time with more proportions on turquoise
7) gel makes your nails stronger, doesn't chip off easily. But if u repeated does it.. It's another story
8) I'm thinking I can keep cutting it as it grows, so I won't need to go back for removal:p
If u can tell the difference, of my initially done nails(1st picture) at the manicure- shorter n without own shimmers. That's cause for every colour u wanna add its about $15?? Not very cost friendly. But the gal was good! She used her fingers to Dab and even out, causing this effect:)
Whoo Hoo! I can stil stare at them for minutes everyday, wondering why they look as good as new:)
