So I gave in. I lasted 9 days. Gel nail varnish lasted longer than I did.
My red carpet manicure was supposed to last 2-3 weeks, but my curiosity got the better of me and I took it off and replaced it with a new colour, so guess I'll never know how good the staying power is because I get bored too quickly ha ha!
I decided for hot pink, perfect for cheering me up in the miserable winter. Everybody loves winter until after christmas, then we're all itching for spring, so I'm hoping this will tide me over until then!
It's still a red carpet manicure colour, so I used the lamp and did it that way, again making you have the super shiny polished effect.
For my toes I didn't want to use the gel manicure set (i'm not sure if you can even) as polish on toes lasts a lot longer anyway! I used Leighton Denny's 'plush pink'. I have this weird thing, in which I have to have my toes and fingers matching or I'll feel super odd, it matches really well which was a bonus!
It looks a lot more neon in the photo's I think, it's definitely hot pink! Perfect holiday colour, I'm not going to lie, I kind of feel like Barbie ha ha! I always tend to be wearing dark colours like navys or dark reds it's a nice change.
I have a little bit around my skin, I know! With the gel nails, because it cures, and solidifies you can't just peel it off the skin you have to file it down, I'll get to it soon. I really prefer the Gel nail varnishes at the minute, it's such a nice change having length to my nails, I suffer chubby finger syndrome anyway haha and longer nails elongate the fingers making them look a little more feminine.
Some of you might have realised that I didn't go for any of the Nails Inc, I know I'm too fickle, I will definitely soon try an ordinary nail polish with the Red Carpet base and top coat and use the lamp to see if it has the same effects as a full gel manicure, I've got my fingers crossed for that one!
What colour are your nails at the moment?
