I purchased this kit about two months ago and never got around to using it. I LOVE IT! I can get a gel manicure at home!! No more waiting in the crowded nail salon on the weekends…. bliss. I won’t lie, it took my two attempts to work it out and get it done right but that’s because I have a bad habit of putting my polish on too thick (why I always used to get blanket nails.) but once I got over that it was so easy. I suggest making sure you really take the time to sit down at a table, make sure to swipe the brush on the edge of the bottle so you have the right amount to apply and then it’s all good.
The basic steps are:
- Prepare your nails and cuticles
- Apply base coat to one hand only
- Cure In Gelshine Lamp – instructions say 30 secs but I did 60 secs
- Repeat on other hand
- Apply color coat, one hand only
- Cure in Gelshine Lamp – again 60 secs
- Repeat on other hand
- Apply second coat of color and cure, again one hand at a time and for 60 secs
- Apply top coat and cure, you guessed it one hand at a time for 60 secs
- Wipe with finishing spray and cloth
10 minutes done! The kit is currently selling at $150. That put me off a bit at first but I spend about $50 with tip and all every 2 weeks at the nail salon so I figure it pays for itself in a month and half. Add to that the fact that I am about as good as waiting at the salon as a 3 year old and I gave it a shot. Really glad I did.
