Hello lovelies! Remember all the fun I said I had on Australia Day eve? Well on impulse I decided to get my nails done. I have huge issues with my nails looking awful unpolished, but I’m also not great at the whole polish application thing, so occassionally I like to get my nails done. In the old days when I was young and dumb I went with acrylic nails and even worse I sould pick them off my natural nail so of course my nails suffered.
More recently I tried Biosculpt Gels, but I didn’t find them long lasting and I fell in love with Shellac, but wasn’t a fan of the salon I had them done in or the $50 price tag.
So, wandering around the shopping centre I discovered a salon who offered Gelish. Of course, I googled as I shopped then went back and booked an appointment. Gelish works in as far as I can tell exactly the same way as Shellac. The nail is filed and buffed, a base is applied, UV cured, followed by colour, cure, colour, cure, topcoat and another cure.
What I love is that unlike Shellac there are 84 shades currently on offer and the full set only cost me $40. It is supposed to last 2-3 weeks but we shall see how it goes. Biosculpt lasted less than two weeks on me (and was thicker on the nail), Shellac lasted over three and was great…I am hoping for the same results from Gelish!

What do you think of my nails? Have you tried Gelish?

I like the colour, but find it less glossy than Shellac, or is it just the picture? Do let us know how it goes, I love Shellac but their colour choice is just so very basic!
pretty color! so bright!
Yes and so far fairly long lasting. One nail is peeling slightly, but I am a bit rough with my nails.
