josie/ 2nd October 2014 Yes there is something splendidly indulgent about getting your nails done at a beauty parlor, however at 50 a go, it's not something I can do frequently, yet I abhor cracked nails or bare nails so I commence to discover a method of doing gel nails at home.
The advantages of a Gel Manicure are that they last far longer than a routine manicure (colour remains chip complimentary for approximately 3 weeks) and it's less damaging to your nails than an acrylic manicure. Yes it takes a while to do, but when you think about the quantity of time you invest removing and reapplying chipped polish, it saves you great deals of time in the long run.
95 here). You will require a skim coat and a leading coat for each sort of gel manicure that you do also. 2.) UV NAIL LAMP There are so numerous readily available, read reviews carefully and do not be tricked into thinking that the most expensive ones are the finest! Select one that features replacement bulbs too.
3.) FILES My RCM set included a curved file, but this isn't required. If you understand any one with a Sally's (Hair salon Supplies) card, ask them to bulk buy you some nail files and buffing blocks, as they are cheap as chips there! If not, just buy packages of files from Boots or Superdrug.
4.) EMERY BOARD A wooden or metal orange stick can be found online, I think I paid about 2 for mine from Amazon, although I needed to wait for it to be provided from Malaysia! 5.) COTTON WOOL A Reliable Source advised 'lint complimentary' cotton wool pads, as these will not leave any fibers on your nails, but unfortunately I went out so have had to use typical ones this time.
6.) PREPARATION + WIPE & cleaner Typically the preparation service and cleaner are offered together. You will need the prep option to dehydrate the nails prior to painting, and just acetone eliminator will eliminate gel nails. Likewise included in the starter package from RCM, or individually here. 7.) CUTICLE OIL Not a requirement but a great treat for your nails after the manicure, and also excellent for rehydrating your cuticles.
