Gel Nail Manicure & Skinfood Nail Polish

 One of my friends bought a set of gel nail tools, but she has no idea how to use it.

I will demonstrate the steps & usage of them. This is the first time I use my own gel nail UV lamp, so I have to check if it works well. After turning the light on, u will see some blue light. 

For the gel polishes, I applied them on a transparent plastic sheet and try them under the blue light ray.

Let’s start!

Before

1.      You have to apply a layer of base gel polish on ur nails then your nails under the lamp for over 10 minutes. As I am a user, I don’t like this base gel polish, cause no matter how long I put my nails under the light, it just didn’t get dry. It’s sticky, so I won’t recommend my friends to use the base polish of this brand.

 

2.      I want o try something new, so I didn’t use the gel pigment polish, cause there are not many colors of the gel polish. I try to use the Skinfood Nail Polish to replace the color layer, the color code is BL509. Wait until the nail polish dry totally.

3.      The last step, apply a thick layer or 2 thin layers of top coat gel polish. If u apply a thick layer of it, then put it under the lamp for 5-6 mins, if u applied 2 thin layers, then out it under the lamp for 3 mins separately. When your nails are under the blue light, u will have the feeling of shrinking on your nails. The top coat gel nail is the most important part, because it can make your nails’ color last longer, more than 10 days.

DONE

: ) 

But the nail polish is painted over the skin which near my nails >n<

 

*** P.S. Using a normal nail polish will not last longer than the gel color polish.
