Pinterest "gel" mani pedi hack

Who does not like a nice at home gel mani/pedi?  Well, I wanted to do a little research on the best "at home"  without breaking the bank.    

I went to Target, Walgreens, Kmart and Walmart to see what I can come up with. All the stores had the LED lights with the gel nail polish, nail cleaner, lint free squares.  But the prices ranges from 49.99-69.99.

So I went in Pinterest and found many "hacks" that involved DIY gel nails at home.  So the one that brought to my attention was the Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps Hardner, your choice of nail polish and American Classics Gelous advanced nail gel coat.  





So I tried it and just to let you ladies know, I am sold on this product.  The only thing you would have to do is use 2 coats of Gelous, 2 coats of your favorite nail polish and one coat of the Sally Hansen Hard as Wraps polish.  Wait about 1-3 minutes in between coats so they dry evenly.  I am in my 5th day and my toes look like they have been painted a day ago.  

Since I have used a glitter polish with this, use an alternating color.  Like a light green polish with a green glitter.  I have went to the Sally Beauty Supply store I purchased a Pure Acetone nail polish remover for this and it works great.  

Until next time,  enjoy the rest of your week
