My home gel manicure lasted 9 days :cool2::praise:

I did a new one last night. Colour is “Love Bites” by Prism Polish (UK). I didn’t have to do any clean ups and this is my left hand (I’m left handed). The thumbnail is a bit patchy, I think I hit a bit of the gel/polish that wasn’t mixed very well.

Now that spring equinox has passed and chocolate bunnies have arrived, I decided to go with pastels this week. Even though it was 27F this morning with snow on the ground.

Essie Go Go Geisha with Color Club Halo-graphic on ring finger and sprinkle of ILNP Ballet Slipper on index finger. Check out the holo in sunlight:sun:

OPI Bubble Bath.

Just wanted to say that this at home gel color lasted ten days without chipping. I usually get my nails done in a salon with gel or SNS but this polish held up great! ☺️

Now trying Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in Red Eye...

My last home gel attempt (the red) lasted 4 days but I wanted to see what would happen if I used a regular base coat to protect my nails from staining. The index fingers peeled off today. It did make removal a lot easier though!

This colour is a little autumnal but I haven’t used it yet

I'm fickle and I didn't like the OPI Pearl Diver top coat at all...so I covered everything w a holographic top coat. Dior Princess + OPI Pear Diver on index and pinky + Color Club Cloud Nine holographic polish.

Nubar Hotel Baby Pink

Horrid formula as can be expected from the color....I hastily did two thick coats instead of thin 3-4 so it made it even more streaky.

I'm really happy to see you too, I missed you and thought of you!!

How are the animal family? I still have loads of cats, now have loads of dogs too - including three rescues, I still have the horses, another generation of chickens and I'm boarding a friend's parrots and lovebirds to help him out, so life is busy but fun!

Wow you do have a menagerie! It is fun - enjoy every minute of it!

We are up to 8 cats now, mostly youngsters (5-ish and under). My 17+ year old little man has some health issues, but he doesn't seem to know it - he's still going! Hubby is at his limit - so no more... well maybe after my old man leaves us... :Up_to_something:

So this was an impulse purchase. The latest Essie collection was on a very tempting display and I just couldn't walk by;)).

Essie Gel Couture Reem Acra Bridal collection. Moments to Mrs. I like the formula and there are pearly flakes that are not showing up in the pic. I love the wide brush in GC line. So much easier to paint with than typical skinny Essie brush.

It's the perfect pink! I've got to try the Gel Couture line. I love Essie for their feminine colours but the brush makes it hard to apply their polish. I have really wide fingernails so I prefer the OPI style brushes

Definitely try it because of the brush. I'm even thinking of cleaning out an old polish bottle and switching out the brush so I can use this one with my other Essie colors. I was able to do my pinkies in one stroke!
