Today I’m sharing one of my favourite quick and easy nail designs that I discovered from pure laziness. I’ll be using the Madam Glam Gel Kit because life hack 101 using gel nail polish will make your manis last a lot longer. The best part about this kit is that it comes with everything you need. Gel manicures can last up to 3 weeks longer than a regular manicure which is perfect because I don’t care much for chipped nail polish, I’m also that person that always has nail polish on and it’s nice to be able to save some money and do them myself.
THIS GEL KIT INCLUDES:
-1 mini LED lamp which is not battery operated but plugging it in isn’t bad since the cord is pretty long
-3 gel colours which are all listed on madamglam.com with a sample swatch
-You will also get some wrap foil, a wood sticker and a nail file
Bam easy DIY manicure set.
The price is worth it especially if you are someone who pays 40-60 dollars to get your nails done. So before the $140 price tag scares you away just think about all the simoleons you can save by just doing your nails at home or hello doing your friends nails! Also Madam Glam is always having deals up to %40 off, you can sign up for their mailing list to stay in the know! Another great thing about this company is that they are cruelty free!
All the details are in the video below or if that’s not working you can head on over to my YouTube channel and watch here. Don’t forget to subscribe! It’s free and only requires a g-mail email. 🙂 Your support always means the world to me.
How To:
Apply your base coat and let that dry. The color I chose is called “Precious” I applied my first layer and then let that dry (cure) under the LED light for about 1 minute. Next I applied a second coat and cured that for another minute. My tip would be to use less layers of polish because if you don’t cure the gel polish properly it will take forever to dry and if it doesn’t adhere to your nail properly your manicure won’t last! Luckily this gorgeous colour was very pigmented already!
I then applied my top coat and used the embellishments shown in this video to create a fun simple yet chic design. Lastly I placed my nails under the LED light again and let the whole thing sit for two minutes.
The great thing about this LED light is if you only want 30 seconds you press the button once and if you would like one minute you press and hold the button until the light comes on. Gel polish has a sticky residue even after being completely dry so to get rid of this use rubbing alcohol to remove the stickiness! If you try this look I would love to see, tag me on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook!
