I have always been a huge fan of making my nails pretty, and used to spend hours designing pretty art work on them as well as painting them on a very regular basis. Recently, I am less enthusiastic, as due to the nature of my job, the varnish chips before the end of the working day, and my nails then look scruffy.
A new beauty salon has opened up just down the road from my work, so I decided to treat myself, and get some gel nails done. From what I understood, it lasts a few weeks at least, and gives your nails extra strength. I have always been impressed by other peoples nails that are done with the gel polish, so I thought what's not to lose?
I took a while considering what colour to go for, and ended up choosing a pretty bright pink. This is unusual for me as I am not a pink girl and normally opt for black or white. I wanted to have something spring/summery, and I believe the pink compliments my skin tone very nicely.
I also love anything with a bit of sparkle or glitter, so I chose to have a feature nail with added glitter gel polish too. I am extremely pleased with how they have turned out. The whole process took half an hour to be done, and they are completely set as soon as you are finished, so you are able to carry on about your life without having to avoid touching your nails for ages after!!
I have had them on only for 3 days, but they look as fresh as when they were first done. The salon only charge £20, which I think is pretty average if not more reasonable for gelish nails. I will see how long they last, and intend to get them re-done when they need it, so will update you then
