[Gel Nails] My First Ever Home Gel Experience

Yes, I am  so excited for this mani!! I know that a lot of people are doing gel nails for a long time already, but I have never tried it myself.  Shellec is so expensive, usually about $35-$45 if you want to go to a salon (Imagine how much nail stuff you can buy from that money!). I know that they are rock-hard and shiny, better than Acrylic nails for heath reasons.  However, I like to change my polish often, and I do not need that 2 weeks lasting power at all :)

You may guess, my gel experience actually is a complete coincide!  I received my February (yes last month) Glymm bag yesterday and I wasn't happy with them. I will write a separate post for that. The funny thing is that it came with my March Topbox at the same day! I received a 'gel' nail polish from my February Glymm bag; it is a small bottle by a campy called Nailuv. Never heard this company before. The colour is "Berry Sweetie".  So far, I haven't seen anyone received a different colour, otherwise I would really love to trade some others in!

When I read the instruction on the box, I "suddenly" remember that I own a LED polish light. How come? It's a very long story and I am not going to talk in this post. LOL. I can see why some other girls feel frustrated to receive a gel polish, because they also need gel top/base coats to do the manicures.  I am fortunately to have some minis kicking around. I am excited as much as scared, first time to do anything new is always scary.  I follow the instruction came with my LED light package, and use the Nailuv colour.

Ta-Da! It's not too bad right? When I was doing it, I had feeling that the LED is not strong enough to cure the polish.  I purchased this LED light in Wal-Mart, because it is the cheapest option! I heard that LED light has long life span compared to the UV one as well.  I didn't expect too much!

Look how shiny it is! I really LOVE it! It has some blue/purple shine!

I am so thrilled by that prefect smoothness!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE what I came up with!!! so PRETTTY!  The colour is very similar to my Ciate Cupcake Queen! But Berry Sweetie is more shiny and more blue reflective light!

In case if you interested, this is Ciate Cupcake Queen Swatch!

I will update again soon about what I think about my first gel experience and some pictures in daylight. You will see how beautiful it is under the sunlight!
I am a little worried because I don't know how to take them off yet, haha!   Let's see what will happen!
